What is it that makes one a star? Is it talent? Is it perseverance? Or is it just plain hard work? Perhaps it's all three. We'll discuss this and much, much more in this episode's conversation with Debra Monk.When I was studying Theater in College at what is now Frostburg State University in Frostburg, MD. Our Acting teacher, Dr David Press, would give us acting exercises to perform. Often, he would hold up the example of how Debra Monk, or Deb, as he called her, performed a particular exercise as the best example of how to perform that exercise. Debra was a senior then when I was just a freshman, so our paths did not cross very much when we were there. Over the years, I heard of her success, first on TV getting an Emmy for her performance as Andy Sipowicz's wife in NYPD Blue. Then, while visiting Dr. Press, he told me of her shows on Broadway. I looked her up and told her I was coming to see her in the play Curtains on Broadway. She met me after the show and graciously gave me a backstage tour. Later, while she was performing Laughing Wild, a two person show with Christopher Durang in Boston, I met her for lunch and to talk about old times.  Two years ago, for Episode 3-6, I asked if she wanted to contribute a message to my acting mentor and our mutual teacher, Dr. David Press. She sent me a glowing tribute which was just wonderful. So, earlier this year I contacted her about an interview, and she agreed to sit with me.I'm Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes podcast. In this episode, part 1 of 2 of our interview with Debra Monk, we cover multiple topics: from how she got into the business, how she approaches her work, and stories from her career. So, assume your favorite podcast listening position as we delve into the life and times of a true American Treasure.Debra has asked for donations to her favorite charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.

We're headed to a nursing home in Buffalo in the dead of winter this week! We're discussing Tamara Jenkins' darkly funny “The Savages,” with two Queen Philips, Bosco and Seymour Hoffman, Laura Linney giving Best Supporting Sister, and some featured ensemble standouts like Debra Monk, Gbenga Akinnagbe and Margo Martingale. (To say nothing of Burt and Lizzie!) This movie brings up a lot of thoughts about aging, taking care of our parents, pulling a gay Golden Girls in Palm Springs, similarities to “Away from Her,” and whether we're a Jon or a Wendy.

Leaping from Algiers, Louisiana to the Broadway stage and, ultimately, the top-tier of Hollywood, is no simple feat. In Patricia Clarkson's case, it required a daring jump from her native New Orleans to Fordham University, and the fortuitous, essential mentorship of actress Debra Monk. But Clarkson never truly left the South behind, and in fact she relishes her upbringing there, recalling it fondly—especially her mother's Creole cooking. On this week's episode of Table for Two, the Golden Globe Award-winner sits down with host Bruce Bozzi to reflect on her early roles in The House of Blue Leaves and The Untouchables, her adoration of actress and singer Jennifer Holliday, and the values she's gained by growing up the youngest of five sisters.

In an attempt to get into the halloween season, we are recasting The Devil's Advocate this week. This movie is a fun Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino vehicle that pretty much just let the two of them do what they do best: Keanu - playing the savior role, Al - Yelling as much as possible. Although it's Charlize Theron who completely steals the show even with a shaky southern accent. There are also some really great supporting performances in this movie as well. Tamara Tunie and Debra Monk specifically add a lot to this film.

This week Hollister & O'Toole discuss Amazon Prime's Mozart in the Jungle, recently nominated for 2 Golden Globes: Best Comedy/Musical and Best Actor, Gael García Bernal (Y Tu Mamá También; The Motorcycle Diaries). The cast alone is music to our ears: Broadway legend Bernadette Peters, Lola Kirke, Saffron Burrows, Malcolm McDowell, Debra Monk... Also, hear what Hollister has to say about Will Smith's new movie Concussion, while O'Toole pays homage to the late, great Elaine Stritch, truly one of the Grande Dames of American Theatre (the self-proclaimed "existential problem in tights") with the doco Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me. Fun fact: Alec Baldwin appears in both movies (Concussion and Shoot Me)!
