Podcast appearances and mentions of Florence Foster Jenkins

Mi történik akkor, ha egy sokat szenvedett ember rátalál arra, amit élete hivatásának gondol, a környezetétől pedig folyamatosan kapja a hamis pozitív megerősítéseket? Erre ad választ Florence Foster Jenkins élete, akivel Stöki folytatja az érdekes sorsú nőket bemutató sorozatát. Üvegrepesztő hangok a stúdióban, éretlen élcelődés kellemetlen betegségekkel, magyarul elfelejtő műsorvezető és egy kötelező nyúlüreg, hogy meglegyen a magyar vonatkozás is - ez a KK 67. adása, amiben egyetlen sixsevenezés sem hangzik el.

We discuss the career of Meryl Streep in light of The Devil Wears Prada 2, insofar as we (Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al) have a hold of it; she's been in over 65 films! Is she really the best actor on the planet? Did Prada need a sequel? We all brought in our own experiences with her catalog, touching on Sophie's Choice, Kramer vs. Kramer, A Cry in the Dark, Adaptation, The Iron Lady, Death Becomes Her, Postcards From the Edge, Doubt, The Laundromat, Let Them All Talk, Florence Foster Jenkins, et al.

Simon Helberg is best known for playing Howard in the hit sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" for 12 seasons, but he has also built a notable and varied film career working with people like Leos Carax, the Coen Brothers, and a stand-out performance opposite Meryl Streep in "Florence Foster Jenkins." For his latest, he returns to television in Jonathan Glatzer's Silicon Valley series "The Audacity" on AMC. On this episode, he talks about why he's "precious" about the first read of a script, ponders the paradox of character vs. self, shares some tidbits he gleaned from Ms. Streep, sums it all up with three important words: "Expect and Affect," plus much more! Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Subscribe to Back To One on Substack Follow Back To One on Instagram

Michelle Ford chats to actress Wendi Peters, starring as Florence Foster Jenkins in the 20th anniversary national tour of Glorious! - the true story of the American socialite dubbed “the worst singer in the world”, who famously performed classical recitals in major venues including Carnegie Hall.

Florence Foster Jenkins war eine der faszinierendsten Figuren der Musikgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts! Ihre Auftritte gerieten zur Farce: Foster Jenkins mühte sich stimmlich zum dreifach gestrichenem F, die Zuschauer lachten sie aus. Das hielt die Sopranistin aber nicht davon ab, im Oktober 1944 die renommierte Carnegie Hall zu mieten und ihr letztes Konzert zu geben. Das war der Moment, in dem die Kuriosität zur öffentlichen Sensation wurde. Florence Foster Jenkins: Ikone, zwischen Missverständnis und Leidenschaft. Vielen Dank an Dr. Kevin Clarke, der das Phänomen erklärt.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét talk about nepo babies in drag, Hollywood, and beyond. They debate whether Florence Foster Jenkins was truly an operatic icon, ask if there are drag nepo babies, and wonder if Loretta Devine qualifies as an honorary Ru Girl—and who has the power to bestow that title. Can nepo babies ever really escape their family legacies? Bob shares his experience working with a hard-working one on Madonna's tour. He also explains why he wouldn't send his kids to art school, while he and Monét roleplay asking parents to fund an arts education and break down what elements really shape an artist's path to success.

Today is Actors Day, and few actors have left an impression like Robert "Romeo" Coates, who was sort of the Florence Foster Jenkins of English stage stars.

Jeffrey is helemaal in de gloria want vandaag staat een van zijn favoriete acteurs centraal: Nicolas Cage!Maart was een middelmatige filmmaand met een paar kleine hoogtepunten en eigenlijk geen echte dieptepunten. We lichten de films 'Last Breath' en 'Mickey 17' uit als positieve verrassingen en Erwin en Jeffrey benadrukken nog maar even hoe belangrijk het is om films in de bioscoop te zien...puur voor de ervaring.Erwin heeft een mooi college gemaakt over method acteur Nicolas Cage. Hij neemt ons mee in de bizarre methodes die Cage heeft toegepast voor zijn rollen en vertelt ons hoe Cage zijn eigen "kunstvorm" heeft genoemd. Als je nog niet van Cage hield, doe je dit vast en zeker na dit leuke college!Jeffrey keek de film 'Knowing' op Videoland. Lichtelijk teleurgesteld want Erwin had ook nog 'Face/Off' als optie maar besloot 'Knowing' te schenken. Jeffrey schuift zijn teleurstelling (wederom) niet onder stoelen en banken en laat weten waar de film, volgens hem, steken heeft laten vallen. Erwin viel meer in de prijzen. Hij keek 'Leaving Las Vegas' op Videoland, de film waarvoor Cage zijn (enige) Oscar heeft gekregen. Hoe viel deze zware maar indrukwekkende film bij Erwin? LET OP: Dit stukje heeft een triggerwarning i.v.m. suicide en verslaving. Wil je Leaving als vegas overslaan? Ga dan weer verder vanaf  32:40! April is alweer hier en er is genoeg om naar uit te kijken. Benieuwd waar onze filmfanaten naar uitkijken, je hoort het tegen het einde van de aflevering. In de volgende aflevering wederom een icoon die we zullen uitlichten, Erwin gaat ons laten genieten van Meryl Streep! Voor deze aflevering kijkt Jeffrey 'The Devil Wears Prada' op Disney+ en kijkt Erwin 'Florence Foster Jenkins'.

D'ordinaire, les artistes sont appréciés pour leur talent. C'est ce qui rend le cas de Florence Foster Jenkins singulier. À l'évidence, cette femme un peu excentrique, incarnée à l'écran par Catherine Frot, en était totalement dénuée. Ce qui ne l'empêcha pas de connaître une certaine célébrité.Contrairement à ce que l'on a pu dire, Florence Foster Jenkins connaissait la musique. Après avoir quitté ses parents et divorcé, en 1902, elle gagne en effet sa vie en donnant des cours de piano.Mais sa vie bascule en 1909, à la mort de son père. En effet, celui-ci lui lègue une fortune qui va lui permettre de suivre sa voie.Florence Foster Jenkins a toujours rêvé de chanter. Ce n'est pas le music hall qui l'attire, mais l'opéra. Elle veut devenir cantatrice. Ses parents et son mari l'avaient pourtant dissuadée d'entamer une telle carrière.Et pour cause. Si elle sait lire une partition, elle n'a aucun sens du tempo musical et a même du mal à tenir une note. Elle compense en partie ces déficiences par l'extravagance de ses costumes, qu'elle confectionne souvent elle-même, et par son entrain sur scène.Accompagnée par un pianiste, et conseillée par son imprésario, l'acteur St Clair Bayfield, la cantatrice donne quelques récitals dans des lieux comme l'hôtel Ritz Carlton, à New York.Et le public se presse à ses représentations. Impressionné par son aplomb, il la considère comme une sorte de curiosité. On vient un peu la voir comme on assisterait à un spectacle de foire.De son côté, Florence Foster Jenkins ne doute pas une seconde de son talent et se compare aux plus grandes cantatrices de son temps. Elle attribue même les éclats de rire qui ponctuent ses récitals à la jalousie de ses rivales.Mais l'illusion se dissipe en 1944. Cette année-là, la cantatrice de 76 ans monte sur la scène du prestigieux Carnegie Hall. Ce qui devait être l'apogée de sa carrière en devient le pire revers. En effet, les critiques, qui ne l'avaient jamais vraiment entendue chanter, la clouent au pilori. Elle meurt deux ans plus tard, ulcérée par cet échec. Hébergé par Acast.

2016 - the last year of the Obama administration, and the year of the ill-conceived GHOSTBUSTERS reboot -- the start of a highly upsetting time in America.

Our guest today is Nicholas Martin, movie producer and writer of the biographical drama, “Golda”. Golda was seven years in the making, and as you'll hear, Nicholas has delved so deeply into her story - and by extension Israel's story from independence to the 1970s - which makes this such a captivating interview. He's also made deep friendships with Golda's family and throughout Israel. A highly experienced and talented filmmaker who's become a world authority on the period, but didn't know a great deal about Israeli history before he started. Nicholas' previous film was the hilarious, Florence Foster-Jenkins. Golda also stars Liev Schreiber as Henry Kissinger and Camille Cottin as Lou Kadar, Golda's assistant. Our episode music has just been composed in support of Israel by my friend Bryan Edery with concert violinist Miriam Kramer. He's called it “Israel in my Heart, ner Tamid”. Thank you for allowing it to be our beautiful episode theme tune. I'd been talking to Nicholas about an interview for two years, before we eventually sat down in his London home for this considered and emotional discussion. I want to thank Nicholas for being such an open interviewee. This is one of the best. You can buy "Golda" on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Sky Store, Microsoft Store, Rakuten TV, Google Play Movies, YouTube as download or rent it on Amazon Video, Microsoft Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube, Rakuten TV, Apple TV, Sky Store, Curzon Home Cinema online.

The new film Golda – starring a bewitching Helen Mirren as Golda Meir, the Iron Lady of Israel, was written and produced by Nicholas Martin. Martin is best known for writing the 2016 film Florence Foster Jenkins. With two amazing biopics about strong, defiant women, we talk about how to find the moment that defines a character and how to focus the story on a short period of time instead of a cradle-to-grave saga. For Florence Foster Jenkins, it's her journey to Carnegie Hall and for Golda Meir, it's the 18-day Yom Kippur War. To Martin's surprise, that focus on the war turned the film Golda into a thriller.  “The structure was dictated by the phases of the war,” says Martin. “So, it was really a thriller and a war film rather than a personal drama about a woman's struggle to command a nation at war. That's what gave it its thriller shape.”  To pinpoint that moment, Martin turned to a quote from Winston Churchill.  “He famously said at the beginning of the Second World War, when he became Prime Minister, ‘All of my mistakes have brought me to this point.' … And then I thought I think this is the same for Golda… We've got such a thumping narrative of the Yom Kippur War, such a clear beginning, middle and end and she's under so much pressure, I think if we cut away from this it would dilute the tension and it would be mixing genres in a way. So, it seems that just sticking to this one story which is complicated enough, let's try and keep it simple, tell this one story well,” says Martin.    Listen to this episode to find out more about Martin's research process, how learning to use a spreadsheet upped Martin's structure game, and hear why Meryl Streep threatened to never speak to Martin again while making Florence Foster Jenkins.

We all know the power of wishes, and cinema loves to tell wish stories. They can be inspirational or cautionary, and Taylor and Riley have chosen two fantastical films to showcase in this episode. There's the story of Florence Foster Jenkins who wishes to perform at Carnegie Hall, and then we have the story of Three Thousand Years of Longing where wishes might just cause more harm than good. Our wish is that you love these two movies as much as we did! And, of course, Nick has made us a very punny cocktail - The "Djinn" Sour. Cheers! "Djinn" Sour - 2 ounces London dry gin - 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed - 1/2 ounce simple syrup - 1/2 ounce egg white or aquafaba (optional) - Garnish: lemon twist (optional) - Garnish: 3 drops Angostura bitters (optional) Steps - Add the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white or aquafaba into a shaker and vigorously dry-shake (without ice). - Add ice and shake again until well-chilled. - Strain into a coupe glass. - Garnish with a lemon twist.

After a hiatus of four months, Diggory and Oscar are back to spread Hugh Grant-related Christmas cheer! First up on the agenda is new film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which premiered in November but will be largely enjoyed on Netflix when it's released on December 23. Hugh has a very fleeting cameo in this 'whodunnit' starring Daniel Craig, but nonetheless it's got Hugh Grant fans talking! The boys also debrief on an ABC News 20 years retrospective on Love Actually, where Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and others reflect on making the Christmas classic. Can you believe Love Actually came out 20 years ago....! We can't. Finally, Digs and Oscar ponder exciting news that Hugh has been cast in another HBO show, The Palace, following on from his success in The Undoing. This time, he's ticking off starring with yet another leading lady in Kate Winslet. There aren't a lot of details at present, but the fact it's being directed by Stephen Frears (who Hugh knows from A Very English Scandal and Florence Foster Jenkins) is certainly an early Christmas present. We hope you enjoyed this podcast episode of Hugh's News which is a Taking Hugh for Granted production.

The year is 2017 and the nominees are: 1. Isabelle Huppert - Elle 2. Emma Stone - La La Land 3. Ruth Negga - Loving 4. Natalie Portman - Jackie 5. Meryl Streep - Florence Foster Jenkins In 2017 Emma Stone took home the Oscar for Moonlight-sorry-La La Land! It was a pretty stacked year with very heavy performances. Natalie Portman played Jackie O navigating the emotional trauma of watching her husband be murdered right in front of her. Isabelle Huppert plays a rape victim while also trying to outlive the trauma of her childhood. Ruth Negga plays Mildred Loving who changed the constitution of America allowing people of different races to marry. Meryl Streep plays a terrible opera singer based on the real life Florence Foster Jenkins. Who do you think should have won? Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Ted Morris as they discuss.

Welcome back wayward wanderers! This episode we discuss Florence Foster Jenkins and musician Korla Pandit.

Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory, Florence Foster Jenkins, As They Made Us) joins Mayim in studio to discuss the preparation he did and fears he had playing his complicated character in Mayim's new film, As They Made Us. He takes us through the darkest moments of his mental health journey, his OCD stemming from his attempts to avoid failure, and his motivation to seek professional treatment. Mayim considers the shift she witnessed in Simon's mental health on The Big Bang Theory set. They discuss their entries into the Big Bang cast, what happened once the show grew in popularity, and the mental health quirks and stereotypes of each of the characters. Simon and Mayim explain the process of finding themselves after the success of the series and what it was like for Simon to perform an impression of Stephen Hawking in front of the late physicist on the set of the show.Trailer for As They Made Us : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU-b6NoDkiU&t=0sSimon Helberg's impressions on CONAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7xQkJYwyi0BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik
