DIVORCE WEEK continues (and concludes) with this game-changing domestic drama directed by Robert Benton (Places in the Heart, Nobody's Fool) which not only nominated for nine Oscars but would also win five Oscars including Best Picture for 1979. Starring as the titular Kramer's are Dustin Hoffman as Ted and Meryl Streep as Joanna - they are a young married couple living in New York City with their young son Billy (Justin Henry) and suddenly one day, Joanna decides to leave. What results is a tense situation involving not only Ted attempting to connect with Billy as a single father but their eventual divorce, including a custody battle over their son. All three stars were also nominated for Oscars along with Jane Alexander who co-stars as Margaret, a family friend who gets caught in the middle of this conflict. This film was also a cultural phenomenon at the time of its release, also becoming the highest grossing box office hit of 1979.

Most recently James was seen on Broadway in Aaron Sorkin's play "The Farnsworth Invention" that was directed by Des McAnuff and produced by Steven Spielberg. James was the voice for Ragu Spaghetti Sauce for 17 years, spawning the national catchphrase "Now, THAT'S Italian!" He continues to pitch other products for Coca Cola and Wrangler Jeans. He also lends his distinctive voice to audio books and short story anthologies on tape.On TV, James' break came when he starred as investigative reporter Mike Andros in The Andros Targets. He's also appeared on such well-known TV series as Dynasty, Cannon, Kojak, St. Elsewhere, Family Ties, 21 Jump Street, Murder, She Wrote, L.A. Law, The X Files, Judging Amy, and many others. And he was a regular on Bob Crane's short-lived sitcom, The Bob Crane Show. Additionally, he's appeared in such notable TV movies as: A Death in Canaan, A Question of Love, Skokie, Space, and On Wings of Eagles. In feature films, James can be seen in Dancing as Fast as I Can starring Jill Clayburgh and Windy City with John Shea and Kate Capshaw.

Some pop stars like to take the easy route into acting by starring opposite lightweight co-stars. And then there's Johnny Cash, whose acting debut in 1971's A Gunfight sees him playing alongside no less than Kirk Douglas, with Karen Black, Jane Alexander and a young Keith Carradine in support. It wasn't a big hit - largely because calling a Western A Gunfight is like calling an action movie A Car Chase - but it's well worth a look for fans of the Man in Black. And you have seen one bit of it, even if you don't realise it... The man Aidan comes around to our podcast again to talk about the film's left-field ending, the state of the Western as Hollywood entered the '70s, and other Cash-centric films and TV shows, from Walk the Line to that episode of The Simpsons where Homer eats a hallucinogenic chilli. In your face, space coyote! If you don't want to see us forced into a duel to the death to earn money, you can donate to our Patreon.

Today, I am so honored to announce my episode with 8-time Tony nominee Jane Alexander. Tune in to hear some of the stories of Jane's legendary career, including the bad audience reactions she received in THE GREAT WHITE HOPE, how Henry Fonda would break the fourth wall, trying to get Elizabeth Taylor to a set on time, how she launched Tommy Lee Jones' career, the changes made to THE SISTERS ROSENSWEIG, the part she felt she wasn't right for, why she never performed at the Williamstown Theater Festival, why she decided to come back to Broadway with GRAND HORIZONS, and so much more. You won't want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of the greatest performers to grace the American stage.
Six more 70's movie reviews for you, and they are more disconnected than usual. It doesn't matter but usually our movie reviews have at least a lil thread that combines at least some of them, consciously or unconsciously. I guess 2 of these do, gawd. Anyway let's start. First up is (Cotton comes to Harlem 1970), an early blaxploitation film that is as weird as the term blaxploitation. We are ongoing in our efforts to unpack the term Blaxploitation, but we try to unpack this movie here today as best we can. Next up (The Great white hope 1970). Here we have Darth Vader and Jane Alexander telling the true story of boxer Jack Johnson. Enter racism. Movin along we have Gravedigger and Coffin back in (Come back Charleston blue 1972) I guess it's a sequel? Next is (Burnt offerings 1976). Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Rocky's coach, and the mighty mom from Butterflies are free, are coming and going from a house stuck in the twilight zone. Almost done, and here's (Sea gypsies 1978- AKA Shipwrecked) A hippie takes his two kids, a reporter, and a stowaway on a sailing trip around the world. I bet it's gonna go great. Ending things today we begin our journey through the 3 70's film of German Director Margarethe Von Trotta. We oddly go 2/1/3 soooooo here's (The second awakening of Christina Klages 1978), and I can at least say here that the films premise is a ten outta ten for me. Thanks for listening folks. Please give us all the stars and write us a nice review about how you are glad there's three 70's movies scientists out there plugging away, and doin their best to make sense out the giant acid trip that was most 70's movies.

[ For full episode catalogue please subscribe to our Patreon at Patreon.com/BestActress ] NEW EPISODE ALERT The year is 1971 and the nominees are: 1. Glenda Jackson - Women in Love 2. Jane Alexander - The Great White Hope 3. Ali MacGraw - Love Story 4. Sarah Miles - Ryan's Daughter 5. Carrie Snodgress - Diary of a Mad Housewife - In 1971 Glenda Jackson won her first Oscar for Women in Love, a film that was very controversial for the time. It was banned in many countries due to its nudity and male on male naked wrestling (oh my). Jackson was not present at the ceremony as she believed, for both her Oscar wins, that she did not deserve the award. You have a lot of very different performances here and it's tricky picking which was truly the ‘best.' Sarah Miles in Ryan's Daughter was an amazing performance but the movie was borderline hated by critics. This was Jane Alexander's film debut reprising her Tony winning role in The Great White Hope. Not bad for your first film! Ali MacGraw starred opposite Ryan O'Neal in Love Story playing a tragic Romeo & Juliet figure. Finally Carrie Snodgress was nominated for Diary of a Mad Housewife, a drama/comedy film that was insane for all the right and wrong reasons. Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Bryan Hatt as they discuss.

Hello again film chums. Today we finish off a big batch of rare 70's gems, mostly. Please reach out if you want help acquiring any of them. First off we review the film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's (Happy birthday Wanda June 1971) Rod Steiger and Susan York star in yet another in a very long line of 70's movies based on plays. Also with this one as my English professor used to say “If it gets deep, start swimming.” Next we have (Sandcastles 1972) Which was a made for tv film that sadly sounds a lil more trippy than it is. It is weird though and does have Jan Michael Vincent, and Mariette Hartley from that one episode of Star Trek where Spock gets into primitivism. Travel with us now to (OZ 1976) later called 20th century oz. This is definitely trippy and quite fab n magical in bits. Features the whirlybird pilot in the road warrior. Next up is (A circle of children 1977). Jane Alexander stars as Mary who takes on the treatment of disabled children, bringing us along for the ride. Far from perfect but it does look right at it which was a definite positive step. Willis from different strokes is here, as well as Rachel Robert's as Helga. Movin right along to (Thieves 1977) Marlo Thomas and Charles Gordin, Star in this sadly out of print dark comedy directed by John Berry (Claudine- podcast coming very soon) Would you believe that this film is based off a play. Wow. Finally today we review (Before and after 1979) This is another made for tv film that gets a lot of once taboo stuff out there, so we can talk about it and deal. Here it's weight loss, anorexia, body image, shitty husbands etc. May be the first film to mention anorexia. Omg Betty White plays quite a sadist in this. stars Patty Duke, Barbara Feldon, Art Hindle, and is directed by Star Trek director Kim Friedman. Written by Hindi Brooks. Thanks for listening everyone.

Our review of The Great White Hope is a little souffle here in the dog days of August. Ryan recorded a solo podcast several years ago and now we find out what those 3-year-old thoughts were. Howard Sackler's Tony-award-winning play was turned into a meh movie by Martin Ritt that's more about race relations than it is about fisticuffs. At least the film feels brutally honest about race. James Earl Jones and Jane Alexander have white-hot chemistry and were both nominated for Oscars. He's the ferocious Jack Johnson stand-in and she's the lady he loves but isn't allowed to love (cuz...white). The movie is a mixed bag with the highlight being the strong performances by the two leads. So don't let The Man get you down. Just punch The Man (and everybody else, for that matter) as this one-man chat digs just a little into The Great White Hope. Contacting us is easy.

Could this be the greatest film about journalism ever made? It's certainly one of the most celebrated investigations of one of the greatest political scandals in American history. We follow two young reporters from the Washington Post – Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein – as they exhaustively get to the bottom of not only whom was behind the infamous 1972 break-in at the National Democratic Party headquarters as the Watergate Hotel, but who was covering it up….and how that went, all the way to the White House. Robert Redford plays Woodward, Dustin Hoffman plays Bernstein, and they are joined by a stellar cast of veteran actors including Jason Robards, Hal Holbrook, Jane Alexander, Jack Warden, and Martin Balsam. Alan J. Pakula directed this classic thriller,Let's follow the money and see where it leads…..Host: Geoff Gershon Producer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/#livingforthecinema #moviereviews #watergate #watergatehotel #nixon #allthepresidentsmen #bobwoodward #carlbernstein #robertredford #dustinhoffman #washingtonpost #nationaldemocraticparty #1972 #jasonrobards #halholbrook #janealexander #jackwarden #martinbalsam #alanpakula #scandal #politicalthriller

"I came to conservation as a lover of nature, as a young girl growing up outside of Boston, Massachusetts. We just had a tiny backyard. But I was enthralled by whatever lived there from a very early age. So I kept up with my love of nature all through life by the same path that I was also going on in theater for the most part. And later film. And conservation came out of my love for animals because it became clear in the 70s, about fifty years ago, that there were many species that were beginning their decline and continue to do so today."Jane Alexander is an actress, writer, and conservationist.

Listen to Ian and Maggie cover 1979's Kramer vs. Kramer. Though both our hosts went in with skepticism, Kramer vs. Kramer managed to impress with it's deft character development and surprisingly modern views on marriage and divorce.
