Hal Linden Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson Does it get better than this? Someone's gonna have to prove it to me. Wow, what a time with Hal Linden! As nice, charming, handsome, and tall (well, I'm guessing on the last), as his Barney Miller, Hal was all that and a hefty bag of Cheetos. Absolutely age-defying - I want to see his birth certificate. It's unfathomable that he's 93. Still dashing, his voice strong, mind sharp, wit crackling, and his talent will be on display next weekend in Flat Rock, co-starring with Marilu Henner in Ed Weinberger's, The Journals of Adam and Eve. I wanna go! Road trip? Hal took us through his early days, one of six cousins, all professional musicians, he a clarinetist first, classically trained, in the musicians union at 15, then the sax called, a hysterical story there, the army, and then the theatre… to hear Hal tell it, it all makes sense. From summer stock to Broadway as an understudy in Bells Are Ringing with Judy Holliday. I won't dare ruin that story. It was 8 years of understudying, and standing in, which led to his Tony-winning starring role in The Rothschilds. Please do yourself a favor and watch Hal sing “Sons,” as seen on the Ed Sullivan Show, his clear ticket to Tony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnztP3vCRko Breathtaking. And then we got to the meat. Barney Miller. How he got it, what he gave up. The gamble he took. The payoff. We talked the original cast in the first failed pilot and the magical one that replaced it. We talked characters, chemistry, and process. How much Hal was in Barney, how much Barney in Hal. And, the part he turned down afterward, without even looking. We had two degrees of Kevin Bacon without the Kevin and without the Bacon, all over the place… from our Bronx beginnings to raising our kids on the UWS of Manhattan and then LA, to Marilu and Ed, but most of all, the Catskills and the crooner. Hal started out in the Borscht Belt with his band at the Paramount Hotel. My father started out at the same hotel as an MC. Years later, after Hal's Broadway and TV fame, my dad lived a dream, introducing Hal, one of his heroes, and opening for him at the Yiddish Theatre in New York. It was one of the highlights and great joys of his career. They were both handsome as heck, charming as can be, and smooth as silk singers. Hal still is. My dad is up there smiling this eve. Larry Katz, this one's for you. Thank you, Hal. This will go down as one of the highlights and great joys of my career, and I'll forever be grateful. But why on a bad hair day?!?

EPISODE 23 - “I Coulda Been a Contender: Classic Casting That Almost Happened” - 02/19/2024 It is well documented that the film “Gone With The Wind” started filming before an actress was cast in the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara. Producer DAVID O. SELZNICK made a spectacle out of who would win the coveted role. It became a national obsession. He considered everyone from TALLULAH BANKHEAD to BETTE DAVIS to LUCILLE BALL. He eventually narrowed the field to three finalists: PAULETTE GODDARD, JOAN BENNETT, and JEAN ARTHUR. But in the eleventh hour, a new contender, an unknown Brit named VIVIEN LEIGH, swept in and won the role. Listen as we discuss, debate, and guffaw over other casting choices that almost happened in some of your favorite film classics.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Hollywood's First Choices: How The Greatest Casting Decisions Were Made (1994), by Jeff Burkhart and Bruce Stuart; Casting Might Have Beens (2005), by Eila Mell; Jean Arthur: The Actress Nobody Knew (2004), by John Oller; George Raft: The Man Who Would Be Bogart (2015), by Stone Wallace; Life is a Banquet (1974), by Rosalind Russell; Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star (2009), by Peter Cowie; Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film (2021), by Alan Rode; Judy Holliday (1982), by Will Holtzman; Close-up on Sunset Boulevard: Billy Wilder, Norma Desmond, and the Dark Hollywood Dream (2002), by Sam Staggs Montgomery Clift: Beautiful Loser (1992), by Barney Hoskyns; Mike Nichols: A Life (2021), by Mark Harris; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Scarface (1932), starring George Raft, Paul Muni, Ann Dvorak, and Boris Karloff; Dead End (1937), starring Silvia Sidney, Joel McCrea, Humphrey Bogart, Wendy Barrie, and Claire Trevor; The Maltese Falcon (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Elisha Cook, Jr, and Lee Patrick  The Maltese Falcon (1931), starring Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels; High Sierra (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino, Joan Leslie, Alan Curtis, Cornel Wilde, Arthur Kennedy, Willie Best, Elisabeth Risdon, and Henry Travers; His Girl Friday (1940), starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy; Twentieth Century (1934), starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard; Mildred Pierce (1945), starring Joan Crawford, Ann Blyth, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Bruce Bennett, and Lee Patrick;  Sunset Boulevard (1950), starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim, and Nancy Olson;    From Here To Eternity (1953); starring Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Donna Reed, and Ernest Borgnine; Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966), starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, and Sandy Dennis; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katharine Ross;#023: "I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDER!" --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

"Hello, Mom?" This week we talk about "Bells Are Ringing," a musical from 1960, in the typical Minnelli style: bright colors, swinging dance numbers, and unlikely romance. Robin and Lisa discuss Judy Holliday, a comedienne who won us over completely, and director Vincent Minnelli, an award-winning visionary who left an indelible mark on American cinema.

Daniel and Harry are joined by New Yorker staff writer Michael Schulman, author of Oscar Wars, to discuss about the 1950 classic film, "Born Yesterday" directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Holliday and William Holden.They talk about the film's journey from Broadway to the big screen and Judy Holliday's long campaign to be cast as the lead in the film. They also cover how "Born Yesterday" places value on being an educated person, how assimilation is depicted onscreen, and what the movie has to say about democracy and the political system in Washington D.C.As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.Follow Michael Schulman on TwitterFind Oscar Wars on AmazonBorn Yesterday on IMDB- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042276/Born Yesterday trailer on YouTube - https://youtu.be/QL3NsTHAQ8sConnect with Jews on Film online:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

There's no denying George Cukor loved his leading ladies and was determined to let them shine. The proof? All three women were nominated- two won!- for the films Nick and Sophia talk about on this director retrospective episode. The Philadelphia Story touts a statuesque Katharine Hepburn vying for the hearts of multiple men (aspirational hot girl summer energy). Gaslight finds Ingrid Bergman terrorized by her husband's insidious behavior, explaining the origin of the word “gaslighting” (29:52). Finally, Judy Holliday reprises her unforgettable role as D.C.'s diligent darling in the play-turned-film Born Yesterday (44:00). Listen as they talk about the history behind these films, their favorite scenes and quotes, and which of these films has the biggest Oscar snubs!

The Red Scare had a far reach in the United States, and Mr. Joseph McCarthy had fun dipping his greasy fingers all the way into Hollywood. Hear about some of the infamous "Hollywood Blacklist" writers, who found their careers, politics, and livelihoods threatened by the big bad himself. Also! A fun little story about Judy Holliday, the actress who beat McCarthy at his own game.

Today, I am so happy to announce my interview with a Broadway legend I've been wanting to talk to since I started this podcast—Tony winner Hal Linden. Having recently completed a successful run in Two Jews Talking, Hal joins us today to tell many of the stories of his long career, including: the role that George Abbott let him pick, how he became a non-traditional Sid Sorokin in a non-traditional revival of The Pajama Game, the Alan Jay Lerner musical he turned down, why he's never played Tevye, the promise Lucille Ball made to him, a lesson from Judy Holliday about upstaging, why The Rothschilds is a problematic show, the dialogue he wrote for The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N, why Louis Jourdan was not right for On a Clear Day, plus stories about Michael Kidd, Sheldon Harnick, Sam Mendes, Ossie Davis, and more. You won't want to miss this inside view into a bygone era of Broadway.

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes AwardsWatch founder Erik Anderson to discuss the 1950 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Judy Holliday won for her performance in "Born Yesterday," beating Anne Baxter in "All About Eve," Bette Davis in "All About Eve," Eleanor Parker in "Caged," and Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard."

This week, I was so honored to welcome back my favorite crime writer working today. Novelist Megan Abbott is the Edgar-winning author of such acclaimed, rich works as "Give Me Your Hand," "You Will Know Me," "The Fever," "Dare Me," "Queenpin," and more. Her latest novel - "The Turnout" - was a "Today Show" Read with Jenna book selection as well as a "New York Times Bestseller" and most recently the winner of "The LA Times" Book Prize for Mystery/Suspense.An impressive film buff who is as delightful as she is intelligent, I had so much fun celebrating Judy Holliday and Martin Scorsese with her last year and am so glad she returned to get the band back together to discuss five of her favorite underrated movies from one of her most beloved filmmakers - Mr. Billy Wilder.In this fast or one could even say "Wilder-paced" episode, you'll hear us explain why the films "The Major and The Minor," "A Foreign Affair," "One, Two, Three," "Love in the Afternoon," and "Kiss Me, Stupid" deserve just as much love as some of the most famous classics from the director of "Some Like it Hot," "Double Indemnity," and "The Apartment."Originally Posted on Patreon on 5/3/22 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/65951851Logo: Kate Gabrielle (KateGabrielle.com)Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

At Countermelody, this April Fool's Day begins with a dirty musical joke, and a great one! The episode continues with nearly a century's worth of performances of risqué songs, most but not all of them from musicals. Among the composers and lyricists, the great Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Brecht and Weill, Comden and Green, Carolyn Leigh, Alec Wilder, Stephen Sondheim, Bolcom and Weinstein, Fred Barton, the late Francesca Blumenthal, my friends Richard Pearson Thomas and Lawrence Rush, and the mysterious Durwood Douché. Among the performers, who really let their raunchy side out, Pearl Bailey, Eddie Cantor, Judy Holliday, Mabel Mercer, Gertrude Lawrence, Ann Miller, Vivienne Segal, Marlene Dietrich, Elisabeth Welch, Martha Wright, Raul Julia, Gertrude Niesen, Chita Rivera, Nina Hagen, Mary Martin, Julie Wilson, and Lea DeLaria, among many others. Fasten your seat belts: this is a long episode, but a beautifully down and dirty one! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Judy Holliday's career was tragically short, but she left an indelible imprint on motion pictures. Bells are Ringing (1960) showcases her incredible gift for making every bit of business look spontaneous and of the moment, even though she had performed the part over 1000 times on stage. She teamed up with her old theatre kid partners, Betty Comden and Adolph Green to play the part of the Good Samaritan of the Susanswerphone agency.

Podcast guest 323 is Stephen Simon. Stephen produced such acclaimed projects as the Academy Award winning What Dreams May Come (starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr.), Somewhere in Time (Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour), and All The Right Moves (Tom Cruise). Stephen was also co-executive producer on fan favorites Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (Keanu Reeves), produced the first original film to premiere on the Internet (Quantum Project), starring John Cleese and Stephen Dorff, was an executive producer on Linda McCartney for CBS Television, and was nominated for an Emmy Award as one of the executive producers of Homeless to Harvard for Lifetime Television. Stephen was the head of production of the film companies owned by legendary Hollywood producers Ray Stark (Funny Girl, The Goodbye Girl, The Way We Were) and Dino De Laurentiis (Serpico, La Strada, 3 Days of The Condor). Stephen also directed and produced Indigo and the film version of Conversations with God. In 2004, Stephen co-founded The Spiritual Cinema Circle, a monthly DVD distribution service that became an immediate international success from 2004-2020. Stephen's first book, The Force is With You, was published by Hampton Roads in 2002, his second book Bringing Back The Old Hollywood was published in 2011, and he co-authored his latest book What Dreams Have Come: Loving Through the Veil with his wife Lauren....after she transitioned to the other side of the veil. Stephen was born into a successful Hollywood family. His father, S. Sylvan Simon, was a producer/director who made films with stars such as Abbott and Costello, Lana Turner, and Red Skelton. He worked as both a producer and an executive at Columbia Pictures under the legendary Harry Cohn, producing films such as Born Yesterday, the 1950 film that garnered a Best Actress Oscar for star Judy Holliday. Sylvan Simon died when Stephen was four years old, an event which compelled Frank Sinatra to become Stephen's “godfather”. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-s-reynolds/support

The final film in the 1950 Best Picture nominees, Born Yesterday start Judy Holliday giving an incredible performance as a ditzy chorus girl whose mobster boyfriend, played by Broderick Crawford, regrets forcing her to get smart. In any other year, Holliday's performance would have still made this otherwise weirdly paced romantic comedy, with William Holden as the love interest, a serious contender for Best Picture, but the 1950 nominees were dominated by women in uniquely memorable roles. In the last episode for these nominees, will All About Eve stand the Screen Test of Time against Sunset Boulevard?

This week, I'm honored to welcome back my favorite crime writer working today. Novelist Megan Abbott is the Edgar-winning author of such acclaimed, rich works as Give Me Your Hand, You Will Know Me, The Fever, Dare Me, Queenpin, and more. Her newest title The Turnout was released on August 3rd and became not only a Today Show "Read with Jenna" book pick but also a New York Times bestseller as well.An impressive film buff who is as delightful as she is intelligent, I loved hearing Megan's fresh perspective on Martin Scorsese movies at the start of our 2021 season and was so thrilled to have her back to talk about the incredible Judy Holliday for this podcast today. Essentially discussing all of her movies, we focused mainly on The Marrying Kind, It Should Happen to You, Phffft, and The Solid Gold Cadillac. In the process, we take a look at what Holliday brought to these films, how with a 172 IQ, she was so much more than the stereotypical "dumb blonde" synonymous with her Oscar-winning performance in Born Yesterday, and also considered how she might have been gray-listed after cleverly refusing to name names during a HUAC hearing in 1950.Clocking in at under an hour, this celebratory yet thorough chat is as quickly paced as one of Holliday's deliciously brisk films. And the result is an episode that classic movie fans, in particular, will be sure to love!Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music ArchiveOriginally Posted on Patreon on 8/31/21 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/55580653

Today is the 122nd birthday of George Cukor. He is responsible for almost all of my favorite classic films: Holiday, The Women, Gone With The Wind, The Philadelphia Story, Adam's Rib, Born Yesterday, It Should Happen To You, etc. His teaming with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Judy Holliday, Clark Gable, Jack Lemmon, and Joan Crawford made countless of hours of perfection. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left. Opening Clip: Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer Confrontation Scene from The Women Closing Clip: George Cukor wins the Oscar for Directing and Jack L. Warner wins for Best Picture for My Fair Lady at the 37th Academy Awards. Presented by Joan Crawford and Gregory Peck, and hosted by Bob Hope.

In this episode, we discuss the intersections of Judy Holliday, the origin of the bimbo/dumb blonde character and the femme/butch bar scene in 1940s-50s Greenwich Village, New York City. I get very invested and fall so deep into the rabbit hole that I can barely conceal how hard I'm swooning. Everything ends abruptly, but in a satisfying way. Like bubble tea. Support the show (https://patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast)

Look it up, why don't ya! Judy Holliday in her Oscar-winning performance, probably because of that outstanding, abrasive voice. Born Yesterday (1950) is a cerebral Cinderella story where a crook's girlfriend gets an education and a mind of her own instead of glass slippers and a prince. Well, she does get William Holden in the end. So maybe a prince as well.

In this episode, Ben and Daniel watch and discuss the 1960 film "Bells Are Ringing," starring Judy Holliday and Dean Martin. The film is directed by Vincente Minnelli and is based on the hit 1956 Broadway musical with book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and music by Jule Styne.

Drama Desk Award winner, having created the role of Daniela, the saucy hairdresser, in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical, In The Heights. Last seen on Broadway playing the role of Peppina in The Rose Tattoo by Tennessee Williams. Recently hailed by critics as “radiant” and “incandescent” for her portrayal of Judy Holliday in the Off-Broadway premiere of Smart Blonde by Willy Holtzman. Cast as Fausta in the upcoming Stephen Spielberg film adaptation of West Side Story.

Drama Desk winner Andréa Burns loves Judy Holliday. Movie Musical Madness Host Mark Peikert loves Judy Holliday. And they both love Judy's starring turn in Bells Are Ringing—but do they love the 1960 movie? With Dean Martin coming across like a post-bender drunk, Frank Gorshin and Gerry Mulligan serving up mid-century sex, and plenty of awkward musical staging, there's a lot to discuss. Plus, Judy Holliday herself and Marlene Dietrich make special appearances! Produced by Dori Berinstein and Alan Seales for the Broadway Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's episode is 50% whiter as we have a special guest! We are joined by Joshua's brother Matthew as we watch "Born Yesterday," trying to understand how Judy Holliday beat Bette Davis, Gloria Swanson, and Anne Baxter for an Oscar that year. There's also a fourth uninvited guest who makes an appearance. Spoilers. 

I have planned a series on five different artistic traits that guide a singer through their artistic journey. The designations are my own, and as such, purely idiosyncratic. Charm is defined as “the power or quality of giving delight or arousing admiration.” In this episode, we examine singers of many genres singing music from many lands. Featured artists include Bidú Sayão, Carlos Gardel, Mary Martin, Régine Crespin, Richard Lewis, Victoria de los Angeles, Eileen Farrell, Ezio Pinza, Patachou, Judy Holliday, Hugues Cuenod, Elisabeth Welch, Ninon Vallin, Richard Dyer-Bennett, Jorma Hynninen, Susannah McCorkle, Barbara Cook, Ninon Vallin, Teresa Berganza, Yvette Guilbert, and many others. Because there is so much charm and enchantment in the world, the episode threatened to stretch to an untenable length, I will present additional examples of Charm in the next episode. I also pay tribute to the Lebanese-American mezzo-soprano Rosalind Elias, who died a week ago at the age of 90. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glories of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great classical and opera singers of the past and present with the help of guests from the classical music field: singers, conductors, composers, coaches, agents, and voice teachers. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

I vilken tonart klingar en romanfigur? Hur låter ett bildkonstverk? Möt nordiska litteraturpristagaren Naja Marie Aidt i Köpenhamn och konstnärsparet Olga Bergmann och Anna Hallin i Reykjavik. 2008 fick författaren Naja Marie Aidt Nordiska Rådets litteraturpristagare för novellsamlingen Bavian. Hon är en produktiv författare, med många utgivna böcker: noveller, dramatik, barnböcker och diktsamlingar. I programmet läser hon ur sin åttonde och mycket kritikerrosade diktsamling Poesibok. Aidt föddes på Grönland av danska föräldrar och har bott i Köpenhamn sedan hon var sju år. 2005, då vi firade att det var 200 år sedan författaren H C Andersen föddes, skrev Naja Marie Aidt en sångtext till en av H C Andersens nattliga drömmar, Min rasande häst. Den handlar om rädsla, vilket H C Andersen var väl förtrogen med. -Hjärtat är en häst som trofast travar genom livet. Hon uppfattar språket som musik och berättar om hur musiken påverkar hennes skrivprocess. Hon lyssnar på Bachs Matteuspassion när hon skriver. - Det skapar en harmoni i mig och de kreativa slussarna öppnas. Orden flyter lättare, förklarar Naja Marie Aidt.   I Reykjavik möter vi de två samlevande och samarbetande konstnärerna Olga Bergmann och Anna Hallin. Anna Hallin är skulptör, tecknare, animatör och fotograf. Hon  tecknar till Vektormusik. LUMPYDiversity är en animerad videofilm av Anna Hallin. Här möter oss ett musiklandskap befolkat av de märkligaste organismer tecknade med tusch i en mild färgskala. Atmosfären är meditativ, minimalistisk, ren och avskalad. Men strax under ytan vibrerar det av psykologisk spänning mellan fantasifigurerna. Lumpy Diversity: http://this.is/ahallin/animations_lumy.html   Olga Bergmann är bildkonstnär och studerade under många år klassiskt piano i Reykjavik. Hon valde dock bort musiken för bildkonsten, men i en av sina konstvideofilmer, TIMELAPSE, spelar hon en liten egenkomponerad vals. I videon konstruerar Olga Bergmanns en slags tidsmaskin för att skapa en illusion av ett släktmöte i ett tidlöst rum. Olga Bergmann söker efter spår av en släkting i USA, skådespelerskan, sångerskan och musikalstjärnan Judith Tuwim, senare Judy Holliday. Judy Holliday är en av artisten Madonnas största förebilder. Judy Holliday spelade bl a in plattan Holliday with Mulligan tillsammans med orkesterledaren och barytonsaxofonisten Gerry Mulligan, som var en av hennes nära vänner. 1950, 29 år gammal, fick Judy Holliday en Oscar som bästa skådespelerska för sin roll i filmkomedin Born Yesterday. Hon knep Oscarstatyetten från både Bette Davies i All about Eve och Gloria Swanson i Sunset Boulevard. Olga Bergmann bygger också en kosalong ute i en hage på Island. Hennes alter ego, Doctor B, sitter i gräset med förstoringsglas och pincett. Han dissikerar komockan i och fotograferar flitigt. Ur högtalare där i kohagen strömmar toner från svenske tenoren Jussi Björling.

In BORN YESTERDAY (1950), Harry Brock (Broderick Crawford) is a wealthy, corrupt junk dealer with a "dumb blonde" girlfriend, Billie Dawn (Judy Holliday). Harry is embarrassed by her crassness and lack of social skills, so he hires journalist Paul (William Holden, serious in glasses) to give her a crash course in culture. As Paul and Billie spend time together and get closer, Billie begins to understand how Harry has been using her in his corrupt deals, and refuses to cooperate any longer. Judy Holliday's performance as Billie Dawn is a must-see; you can't take your eyes off of her and it is easy to see why she won a Best Actress Oscar for the role. But even though she was so terrific and played the same role on Broadway, she was not even considered for the film version at first; the studio wanted Rita Hayworth! In this episode, James and Lara talk about what Katharine Hepburn had to do with Judy landing the role in the film, Director George Cukor's unique method for perfecting the comedic timing, and Bill Holden as a virtuous writer in BORN YESTERDAY vs. Bill Holden as a scheming writer in SUNSET BOULEVARD, which came out the same year.

Judy Holliday won an Oscar for her first starring film role, and of her eight major film roles between 1950 and 1960, four were in films now considered classics. She was one star who was subpoenaed to testify about her ties to Communism who was fully supported by her studio and subsequently wasn’t blacklisted from movies. Holliday’s career was short-lived nonetheless, in part because she represented a highly idiosyncratic, working-class, urban, Jewish authenticity in a time when conformity was being peddled as an equivalent to safety.

One of the continuing issues of the entertainment industry is the treatment of women in movies and television. Even with a larger number of female writers, producers, and directors, roles often follow stereotypical and negative conventions. In her new book Smart Chicks on Screen: Representing Women’s Intellect in Film and Television (Rowman and Littlefield, 2014), Laura Mattoon D’Amore brought together 13 writers to discuss issues of the depiction of the intelligence of women on film and in television. The articles cover from the 1950s to present day and include interesting views of the depiction of females in both traditional roles and in newer settings. The four writers interviewed with Laura are: * Stephen R. Duncan, who discusses the actress Judy Holliday and how her image was altered by the Cold War red scare. * Stefania Marghitu, who examines the character of Peggy Olson from Mad Men, comparing her actions in the 1960s from the perspective of twenty first-century writers. * De Anna J. Reese, who details how Kerry Washington is able to present a viable version of a black woman with power who is able to keep her racial and gender identity. * Amanda Stone, who discusses the importance of the female characters of the popular series, The Big Bang Theory. These writers represent a great cross-section of ideas related to gender and intelligence that runs through the book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode we wrap up my 50 Fabulous Family History Favorites List On Friday I babysat my two grandsons Davy and Joey, and I put together a little game that was prompted by a listener email. You met long time listener and Premium Member Dot in Australia during our virtual Christmas Party in episode 147, and after the show aired, Dot wrote me to say how much she enjoyed it and to tell me about a little concentration game she put together for her granddaughter.  When my kids were growing up we called in the Memory Game and I know some folks call it the Match Game. But no matter what you call it, it's the game where you have a set of cards that are all pairs, and you lay them upside down in rows on the table and two at a time turn them over trying to find matches. The person with the most matches wins. Dot made up cards with photos of her family members. She writes: “She opened the little box I was holding and went through the photos one by one. We put a few pairs down at a time, and as she turned them over she matched them. I included our pets as well.” I wrote Dot back to let her know that MyHeritage.com had something similar. You have to sign in to your free account. In the menu you will find the MyHeritage Family Game under the Apps tab When Davy, who is three years old, arrived on Friday I got to thinking about all this, and I quickly whipped together a set of cards using photos of family members and ancestors. How to Make a Quick Memory Game: Software:  Microsoft Publisher Create one rectangle outline shape the desired size of the cards Copy and paste the shape to fill up the page. (I fit 6 cards per page) Duplicate the page enough times to have enough cards for a game. (I just started with 9 pairs) Using the Insert Picture feature, fill each rectangle with a digital photo from your computer (adjust the size of the image to fit the rectangle so all the cards would be uniform.) Print them out on Glossy Photo paper Cut out the cards It was a lot of fun and a great way to incorporate family history in to daily activities. I think when we do that it makes family history more of a natural part of our kid's lives. Dot also mentioned to me that she found an app for her iPad called Match. (Update: this app appears to be discontinued. Try Match the Memory at )  And the other fun things I did this weekend was watch a movie called Play the Game. My daughter Hannah told me about it and set it up in my Netflix Instant Queue when she was here over the holidays, and we finally got a chance to sit down and watch it. If you're looking for a Valentine's movie to watch with your sweetie, this is it. It is a little independent film from 2008 starring one of my all-time favorites – Andy Griffith. It's about the relationship between a young man and his grandfather, and how they coach each other through their love lives. It's funny, and sweet, and that's very refreshing. You can check it out at the movie's website called     GEM: 50 Fabulous Family History Favorites Free ChartsGenealogy charts in one form or another have been around since people started keeping track of their family history.

When a necessary home repair proves too costly to afford, Nick must swallow his pride and visit his father, a proud immigrant stonemason with whom he has a difficult relationship, and ask him to do the work.

The movie is based on Will Weaver's short story A Gravestone Made of Wheat and shot on location in Southern Minnesota. 33. The Emigrants Starring Max Von Sydow. In episode 24 I mentioned the book which was made into a movie.  (Swedish: Utvandrarna) “The Emigrants” is a 1971 Swedish film directed by Jan Troell. It tells the story of a Swedish group who emigrate from Småland, Sweden to Minnesota in the 19th century. The film follows the hardship of the group in Sweden and on the trip. The film is based on the first two novels of The Emigrants suite by Vilhelm Moberg: The Emigrants and Unto a Good Land.”   34.

Turner Classic Movies has started showing it occasionally, so check their schedule.   Conferences and Events One question I get asked a lot is about conferences. Most folks don't have the time or money to attend them all, and I often get asked, if I could go to just one which would it be? Well, first and foremost it's the one that has the kind of classes you are looking for  for your particular research, but I do have some overall opinions on conferences that I think you really can't go wrong with. 37.   38.

When you are born into your family, it comes with certain coding and we all seem to start to follow in the pathway of your parents. What happens when your parents are Hollywood Royalty and their BFF’s are Red Skelton and Ronald Reagan and your un-official godfather is Frank Sinatra? Well, we will find out and talk to Cynthia’s longtime client, friend and mentor Stephen Simon, the godfather of Spiritual Cinema and author of the newly published book “Bringing Back the Old Hollywood” available at www.TheOldHollywood.com. This is a show not to be missed! ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST: Stephen Simon was born into a successful Hollywood family. His father, S. Sylvan Simon, was a producer/director who made films with stars such as Abbott and Costello, Lana Turner, and Red Skelton. He worked as both a producer and an executive at Columbia Pictures under the legendary Harry Cohn, producing films such as Born Yesterday, the 1950 film that garnered a Best Actress Oscar for star Judy Holliday. Sylvan Simon died when Stephen was four years old, an event which compelled Frank Sinatra to become Stephen’s “godfather”. Stephen’s mother Harriet remarried Armand Deutsch, a film producer at MGM who produced films with stars such as Robert Taylor, James Stewart, and Grace Kelly. Armand Deutsch adopted Stephen, changing the young boy’s last name to Deutsch. In 1996, Stephen legally changed his name back to Simon. He went on to produce Academy Award nominee, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, the cult classic SOMEWHERE IN TIME, and produced and directed INDIGO and CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD and co-founded THE SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE.
