Liz Sheridan, the actress best known for her memorable roles as Jerry Seinfeld's mother on Seinfeld and the lovable neighbor Mrs. Ochmonek on ALF. But long before she became a familiar face on television, Sheridan was a talented dancer and performer pursuing her dreams on the stages of New York City. We'll trace her journey from her early years growing up in New York, through her career in theater and entertainment, and the challenges she faced as a woman building a career in show business. We'll also discuss her fascinating romance with James Dean years before he became a Hollywood icon—a relationship she later chronicled in her memoir. From Broadway productions and television guest appearances to her late-career success in two of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, Liz Sheridan's story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and finding success on her own timeline.

Before he was a Hollywood star, Sal Mineo was a scrappy kid from the Bronx who couldn't stop getting into fights. His mother enrolled him in dance lessons to keep him out of trouble, and by 11 he was on Broadway. By 15 he was in his first film. By 16, he was reading lines poolside at the Chateau Marmont with James Dean, cast as one of three leads in Rebel Without a Cause. It was the kind of rise that seemed destined to last forever. It didn't. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces Sal's path from a tiny apartment above his family's casket business to the brightest lights in Hollywood, and the beginning of a story that would end on a dark Los Angeles street two decades later.Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesJoin Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America's 250th: The Crimes That Built America.

Were there always teenagers, or did modern society invent them?Pigweed and Crowhill explore the surprising history of adolescence and the emergence of the modern teenager. For most of human history, young people moved directly from childhood into adult responsibilities. They worked on farms, served on ships, fought in wars, and contributed to family life from an early age. So what changed?The conversation traces the rise of the teenager as a distinct social category in the 20th century, examining the effects of compulsory education, child labor laws, postwar prosperity, automobiles, rock and roll, advertising, and mass marketing. Along the way, they discuss powder monkeys in the age of sail, Shakespeare's view of life's stages, James Dean, Elvis Presley, the generation gap, and the creation of a youth culture unlike anything that had existed before.Pigweed and Crowhill also consider the unintended consequences of teen culture: peer groups replacing families as primary influences, prolonged adolescence, changing expectations about responsibility, and the modern tendency to celebrate youth rather than maturity. Was the rise of the teenager an inevitable result of prosperity and social change, or did we accidentally create a cultural phenomenon that now shapes society far more than we realize?As always, the discussion begins with a beer review—this time featuring an Imperial Pilsner from Heavy Seas—and ends with a few reasons for cautious optimism about the next generation.Topics discussed:* The history of adolescence* Child labor and compulsory education* Teen culture in the 1950s* Rock and roll and youth identity* Marketing to teenagers* Responsibility and maturity* Generational change* Modern youth culture* Family vs. peer influence* The future of young adulthood#BeerAndConversation #PigweedAndCrowhill #Teenagers #History #Culture #Parenting #Education #RockAndRoll #GenerationalChange #Society
Ah vous aimez cette chanson, hein, ça vous rappelle un film, Sailor et Lula, et si pas, vous y êtes instantanément, dans l'Amérique profonde, celle de la Route 66 et des grands espaces. C'est vrai, hein, on la voit, la grosse cylindrée décapotable et la route rectiligne, les restoroutes plantés au milieu de nulle part, écrasés par une chaleur sèche, avec trois pelés et deux tondus attablés à l'intérieur. Ça fout un spleen pas possible mais c'est beau.Comme la musique de Chris Isaak. Ah c'est vrai qu'il est beau ! Avec sa belle gueule bien coiffée style années 50 et ses pochettes qui font autant penser à Elvis Presley qu'à James Dean, il incarne une certaine Amérique, en total décalage avec les années 80 au milieu desquelles il débarque dans nos vies. Et qui lui vaut à la fin de la décennie d'être élu parmi les gars les plus sexys au monde.Chris Isaak, c'est le musicien qui tombe au mauvais moment. En pleine époque synthés et batteries électroniques, lui, il débarque avec des chansons qui sentent les motels perdus, les néons, les Cadillac qui ont trop roulé et les amours qui tournent mal au milieu de la nuit. Ça doit être ça qui a tant plus à un David Lynch qui vient de fasciner le monde avec son film Blue Velvet.La musique de Chris Isaak, c'est du rock avec une pincée de country, de surf, et de rockabilly ralenti façon Roy Orbison. Alors pourquoi il a tant marché à la fin des années 80 et dans les années 90 : probablement à cause de l'immense solitude élégante qu'il dégage. On dirait qu'il a tiré toute son inspiration dans le Heartbreak Hotel d'Elvis Presley, et qu'il s'est arrêté là, avec sa guitare, sur un parking vide.Et puis il y a sa voix, qui passe du murmure au grand vertige romantique dans la même phrase. Une voix de cinéma. Exactement. Une voix qui éveille en nous l'image d'un type très bien sapé en train de se faire lourder sous un panneau “Vacancy”. Alors il remonte dans sa grosse V6 et disparaît vers l'horizon. C'est vrai qu'on connaît tous plusieurs de ses chansons. Qu'elles soient restées collées à un bout de notre vie ou pas, la guitare qui s'accorde à sa voix lancinante a le goût d'une bande son, d'une compile Rockmantique, voilà sans doute pourquoi il était unique. Le plus fou est qu'à l'époque, on ne l'a pas étiqueté rétro, il s'est inscrit naturellement dans le paysage, le Chris Isaak.Et plus fou encore, on n'a jamais vraiment su qui il était. On n'a pas creusé le sujet. Ce n'était ni Prince, ni Madonna, question vie privée/publique et marketing. Et même si la nouvelle génération le connaît plus à cause de la vidéo du baiser forcé devant les caméras de télé à Cameron Diaz, Chris Isaak reste aussi mystérieux que les personnages qu'il incarne dans ses chansons, et toutes ses associations au cinéma dans des films marquants comme True Romance, le chef d'oeuvre de Tony Scott, et bien sûr, les films de David Lynch.

Welcome back to The Conner & Smith Show!This week, Ryan Dean Halbrook and Stephen begin a brand-new three-part series exploring the complete film career of one of our favorite actors of all time — James Dean.We start where it all began with East of Eden, Elia Kazan's emotionally explosive 1955 adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel that introduced James Dean to the world and instantly changed movie acting forever.Raw, vulnerable, rebellious, and deeply human, Dean's performance as Cal Trask still feels startlingly modern — and this episode dives deep into why his work continues to resonate decades later.This is the first chapter in our James Dean trilogy series, where over the next three weeks we'll also explore Rebel Without a Cause and Giant — the only three films Dean completed before his tragic death at just 24 years old.If you love classic Hollywood, intense performances, film history, and actors who changed cinema forever… this episode is for you.
Robert meets legendary photographer ANTON CORBIJN to discuss his major retrospective opening this weekend in Berlin at Fotografiska museum.The story of Anton Corbijn begins in the quiet corners of a small Dutch island, where he grew up as the son of a vicar. For a young Corbijn, music was an escape, a passion that consumed him. His camera soon became both a tool and a companion, a way to channel his fascination with music and, perhaps more importantly, a means to navigate his own shyness.When Corbijn moved to London in 1979, the city was electric with the energy of bands like The Clash, The Jam, and Joy Division. Within ten days of arriving in England, he managed to photograph Joy Division claiming he was on assignment for a major Dutch magazine, even though he hadn't been officially commissioned.Now, having celebrated his 70th birthday last year, Corbijn looks back on over five decades of work that spans photography, music videos, and film. Corbijn, Anton celebrates his 50-year career and revisits his extensive body of work. Here, you will encounter nearly 150 pieces: iconic portraits of legends like Depeche Mode, Tom Waits, U2, the Rolling Stones, Martin Scorsese, and Marlene Dumas, as well as German icons Nina Hagen, Herbert Grönemeyer, Einstürzende Neubauten and Wim Wenders. His signature black-and-white grainy aesthetic became a defining visual language in his work.A polymath in photography, music videos, feature films, graphic design, and commercials, Dutchman Anton Corbijn is perhaps best known for immortalizing some of the greatest artists of our time. His iconic portraits of musicians, directors, and artists, such as Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tom Waits, U2, the Rolling Stones, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Gerhard Richter, Ai Weiwei, Marlene Dumas among others, are praised for the way they capture the soul and charisma of his subjects.Effortlessly moving in the early 80s from photography into music videos, Corbijn has since made over 80 promos for people like U2, Johnny Cash, Arcade Fire, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, Metallica, Nick Cave, Coldplay, and The Killers. He is the Artistic Director behind the visual output of Depeche Mode. For U2 he has done the principal promotion and sleeve photography for four decades.In 2006 Corbijn started working on his first feature film Control about the life, and death, of Ian Curtis, Joy Division's lead singer. The film won many awards worldwide, including 5 BIFAs and the Camera d'Or Special Mention at Cannes Film Festival 2007. Corbijn has since made The American starring George Clooney (2010), A Most Wanted Man, based on the novel by John Le Carré and featuring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman (2014), and Life, about James Dean and photographer Dennis Stock, which stars Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan (2015).In 2023, Corbijn released his first feature documentary Squaring The Circle about the iconic album art design studio Hipgnosis. In 2025, he directed his fifth feature film titled Switzerland starring Helen Mirren.Follow: @AntonCorbijn4RealVisit the exhibition: @Fotografiska.Berlin Hosted on Acast.

Fr Peyton Plessela discusses the meaning of Divine Mercy, Fr James Dean on his latest article, and Fr Michael Rennier on the mystery of forgiveness.
In this interview, James Dean explains how prototyping strengthens business analysis by turning complex requirements into visual, collaborative conversations. Prototyping helps clarify user needs, and reduce rework. It also helps stakeholders better understand user journeys, validate assumptions, and provide timely feedback. James argues that even imperfect prototypes add value by revealing gaps early and supporting better decision-making through shared understanding. He points out that visual collaboration enhances engagement, separates needs from wants, and supports clearer, more informed decision-making throughout the analysis and delivery process.

We get huge this week when we eat barbacoa before we discuss Giant (1956). We appreciate the cinematography and blocking as well as the actors in this epic western. Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean give spectacular performances that display their massive talent. Even though Giant is seventy years old, it's still relevant today and ripe for a remake, maybe with better wigs.

This is an edited podcast from 2024 where we spoke to the recently departed film producer Fred Roos. A close friend to Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, Jennifer had no idea who we were interviewing until midway through the podcast. Fred had messages for many of his close friends, and in one instance I was able to pass that message along at his funeral. In this podcast, he has a message for Sophia and Francis Coppola, his long time pals, as well as Harrison Ford who's career he started. At his funeral Harrison said "Without Fred I wouldn't be here." Also a number of other people show up, including his pal Harry Dean Stanton (a skeptic and atheists whom Jennifer and I interviewed when he crossed over.) There are appearances by many people Fred knew, including Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, also Aretha Franklin and Christopher Reeves. We do this podcast to show that anyone can speak to their loved ones offstage. It just so happens that I knew Fred Roos for four decades, and met him in his office at Zoetrope back in the day. We stayed pals over the years, he was always kind and generous with me - and he was a huge pal to Robert Towne and Luana Anders as well as Jack Nicholson. None of these names in this podcast are "name dropping" when we're talking to the source. These were all friends of his, and I have met most of them - including the one he references - the reincarnation of James Dean. Fred worked with this person, and while we don't mention the name - because the person whom Jennifer and I both interviewed for hours - knows that they are the reincarnation of James Dean, have known that their whole lives - but chooses not to share it with people. Like I say, this is another of the Best Of podcasts that we've done. (Jennifer is currently swamped with clients and folks who need her help.) Enjoy.

Welcome back to the next edition of Black Hoodie Alchemy! Continuing with last week's theme, we are analyzing another book by the controversial author Robert Greene, known for his works like The 48 Laws of Power, The 50th Law (co-authored with 50 Cent), and the topic of discussion today: The Art of Seduction. And with Valentine's Day just a couple weeks away from the time of release, it seems like as good a time as any for a wildcard episode such as this!(This is a sociological and literary analysis, I am not trying to be a pick-up artist and I am not trying to position myself as any kind of authority on these topics, whether it be casual dating or romance. )Perhaps even more controversial than the 48 Laws, this book operates on an equally cynical premise that everyone is self-interested and just looking to one-up each other. It details 9 seducer-archetypes as well as the many stages of tactical seduction, backed up with analysis of historical figures such as Cleopatra, Princess Diana, JFK, James Dean, David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe and many more. Reading this with the mindset of general psychology and sociology instead of manipulation and power-dynamics is useful, and it wouldn't be too difficult if not for the persistent usage of words like "prey" and "victim". With this book originally being published in 2001, I seriously doubt that this provocateur shock-value language would be used so flippantly if it were written today (as I do think it is meant as shock-value, building off of the 48 Laws of Power). But that said, I don't endorse or condone the language or mindset espoused in this book, and instead I have a good laugh at all the crude language while also trying to extrapolate any useful psychological and sociological context possible from it. I do think this book is interesting and worth reading, but it will only be useful to the critically-thinking adult that is not looking to take anything at face value. I hope you enjoy listening, and I wish you luck on your romantic pursuits! Ha.

Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: “Method acting.” The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method: Reception, Identity, and American Screen Performance (U Texas Press, 2024) investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries. Imagining the Method traces the primordial conditions under which the Method was conceived. It explores John Garfield's tenuous relationship with methodness due to his identity. It considers the links between John Wayne's reliance on "anti-Method" stardom and Marlon Brando and James Dean's ascribed embodiment of Method features. It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers. Altogether, Justin Rawlins offers a revisionist history of the Method that shines a light on the cultural politics of methodness and the still-dominant assumptions about race, gender, and screen actors and acting that inform how we talk about performance and performers.

Picture the scene: It's 1983 on the East side of town in Zion, Illinois! You're hanging out at your buddy Russ Spice's house. Playing Judas Priest songs on your Harmony guitars and watching “The Song Remains The Same” on MTV. Instead of James Dean in “Rebel Without A Cause”, our movie idol is Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli (is it still playing at the Dunes?). Maybe later we'll ride our bikes down to the lake and swim in the heated shadow of the nuclear power plant and pray that we don't grow up to be toxic avenging freaks. And then, hopefully, we can scrape enough pot seeds together so we can smoke ‘em through a beer can and get a cheap buzz going — after which, we'll convince ourselves we have the munchies and try to get Curt to spend his News-Sun paper route money on lunch at Pizza House. It was a glorious time…

A one of a kind musician, his soft singing style and romantic playing enraptured Hollywood, the jazz world, and Europe. However, violence, crime, and drugs led to numerous prison stints and to one of the most mysterious deaths in music. Who or what killed the great Chet Baker?

Leslie and Rochelle kicked things off with personal updates, including Rochelle's recovery from ear complications and her excitement for an upcoming clogging class—time to break out those Keds! They also dished on some fabulous fabric finds, like the dreamy Double Lush Velvet from Riley Blake, and shared some insider tips on the best sewing machines to handle everything from canvas to silk.

Finally, they wrapped up the personal chat by exchanging heartfelt New Year's wishes and sharing their chill plans for the holiday.They also dove into some seriously creative projects! We heard about fantastic DIY home upgrades, including a budget-friendly trick using Rub and Buff to refinish kitchen knobs and the plan to tackle a thrifted table and chairs with special paint. On the quilting front, there was chat about an Elizabeth Hartman pattern and even a cool James Dean pixel quilt, plus a mention of connecting a Jelly Roll quilt to the perfect namesake. Excitingly, they discussed the launch of a new podcast segment called "Sew & Tell" featuring new finds! Plus, we got a fun history lesson on the accidental start of the Santa tracking tradition.

In 1955, a small silver sports car rolled out of a California garage and into American folklore. It was sleek, fast, and dangerous. A machine built for the racetrack. But within weeks, its young owner would be dead, and the car itself would become infamous. What followed were decades of bizarre accidents, unexplained fatalities, and eerie coincidences, all linked to the same deadly machine. Some now claim the car was cursed. Others insist the stories are nothing more than myth. In this episode, we examine the legend of James Dean's Porsche… Little Bastard.

Sir Anthony Hopkins (We Did Ok, Kid, The Silence of the Lambs, The Father) is an Academy, Emmy, and BAFTA Award-winning actor. Anthony joins the Armchair Expert to discuss feeling othered and playing the role of the dummy in school, how growing up during a war shaped him, and a chance invitation at the YMCA that changed the trajectory of his life. Anthony and Dax talk about booking his first role the same day James Dean was killed, the advice Laurence Olivier offered after seeing him perform onstage, and doing screen tests with Katherine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Anthony explains the mythology behind his first table read for The Silence of the Lambs, his journey to sobriety, and why “We Did Ok, Kid” is a sentiment applicable to everything that's happened in his life.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Natalie Wood was one of the most loved child stars of the silver screen in the mid-20th century, and the rare celebrity who was able to transition gracefully into grown-up roles all while maintaining an air of dignity and grace. She acted alongside Orson Welles, James Dean, Warren Beatty, and Bette Davis, and many of her roles remain iconic decades later. But beneath her unprecedented professional success was a life unseen by the public – a life full of fears, paranoias, pills, gypsy curses, and secrets. And when she drowned at the age of 43, more secrets would come floating to the surface. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and suicide. If you're thinking about suicide, or are worried about a friend or loved one, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

James Dean's co-star in Rebel Without a Cause was an early trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood. Over the years he was harassed, heckled, and had his life threatened – just for being himself. When he was mysteriously murdered at the age of 37, the 15-month investigation exposed just how deep intolerance ran in the hearts and minds of many, despite Sal's efforts to the contrary.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off by sounding off on a bizarre story about a woman who discovered swastika-shaped tiling in her basement and is now suing the home seller for not disclosing it. Adam calls out the performative outrage behind her lawsuit and shares his own frustrations with the culture of virtue signaling. He also plays a clip from one of his recent vlogs, where he visited Home Depot and criticized the city of Malibu for its overly restrictive regulations regarding the cutting of pressure-treated lumber. In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to cover the biggest trending headlines, starting with Ilhan Omar's explosive financial disclosures revealing a net worth of up to $30 million—despite her repeated claims that she is “not a millionaire.” They also react to the retirement announcement of one of the Democrats' longest-serving House members, and break down the viral moment when Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek snatched a signed hat from a child at the US Open. Szczerek has since issued a public apology, but Adam and Elisha question whether that's enough to undo the bad optics of the viral footage.Later, author Stayton Bonner and private investigator Joe Ford stop by to discuss The Million-Dollar Car Detective: Inside the Worldwide Hunt for a Stolen $7 Million Car. Joe and Stayton recount the incredible real-life heist of a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Teardrop coupe—one of the rarest and most beautiful cars in existence—and the decades-long investigation that followed. They share how the trail went cold for years before Joe got a tip that reignited the search, leading to an international chase involving the FBI, Interpol, and a global crime ring. Along the way, Adam gets Joe's take on other legendary missing cars, including James Dean's infamous Porsche.Get it on.
