‘So-called turmoil or shortcomings in my life? I turn them into power or energy'Best known for playing the serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 thriller ‘The Silence of the Lambs', Sir Anthony's journey to Hollywood stardom started with humble beginnings.Born into a working class family in the Welsh steel town of Port Talbot in 1937, his parents first ran a bakery, and then later a pub. Their strong work ethic was imparted on their son, who, despite struggling socially and educationally in his early years, was determined to make a success of himself. Throwing himself into reading and creative pastimes like music and art, Sir Anthony studied at both the Welsh Royal College of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy for Dramatic Art.His early career saw him working alongside greats including Katharine Hepburn, Lawrence Olivier, Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole across both stage and screen, with his international breakout coming in the 1980 film ‘The Elephant Man', which received multiple Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.It would be another decade before he truly cemented his place as a Hollywood A-lister: playing the infamous serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter, regarded by many critics as one of the greatest film villains of all-time. The role won him the first of his two Oscars, with the second coming for his performance in the 2020 film ‘The Father'.But the 87-year-old's long journey to the very top was not only a professional struggle, but at times a personal struggle too, having also battled alcoholism early on in his career - which he says made him a difficult person to work with.Thank you to the Culture team for their help in making this programme.

Directed by John Boorman and starring Richard Burton and Linda Blair, the latter returning to play the possessed child Regan, this sequel has been referred to as one of the worst movies of all time since its release in 1977.

Cuando sabes el nombre de alguien, conoces algo de esa persona. En la Biblia los nombres tienen mucha importancia. Nos dicen algo del individuo y su carácter, pero también autoridad. Si algo molestaba a las autoridades de aquellos primeros cristianos es que hablaran y actuaran en el nombre de Jesús. Su Nombre es la clave del cuarto capítulo del libro de los Hechos. Tras escuchar la sintonía habitual de Ruta 66 por Nat King Cole, escuchamos la canción "Ningún otro nombre" de Peter, Paul y Mary en 1967 (No Other Name). El trio que se formó en los cafés del Village de Nueva York no quiso ser conocido por sus apellidos. Paul conoció a Jesús por su nombre de Salvador en 1968. Estaba buscando quién era, cuando Dylan le dijo antes de ser cristiano: "¡Lee la Biblia!". La disociación que sentía entre su personaje y la persona ha acompañado toda su vida también a Alice Cooper y el ahora fallecido Ozzy Osbourne. Su uso de la imaginaría del terror daba la impresión de que eran ocultistas, incluso satanistas, cuando el Nombre que adoraban era el de Jesús, uno era presbiteriano y otro anglicano. Alice lleva el nombre de una bruja y Ozzy era conocido por una banda cuyo nombre significa Misa Negra (Black Sabbath), sin embargo, sus canciones hablan claramente de dónde está su esperanza de salvación, tanto para Cooper (Salvation 2008) como para Osbourne (After Forever 1971). El conflicto de autoridad entre el Nombre de Jesús y los poderes de este mundo se vive desde el libro de los Hechos hasta la actualidad, pasando por la Edad Media, como muestra el caso de Tomás Becket, el arzobispo de Canterbury que se enfrentó a su viejo amigo Enrique II, para acabar muriendo como mártir. Escuchamos escenas de la película de 1964 (Becket) en la versión doblada al castellano de los diálogos entre Richard Burton como el rey normando y Peter O´Toole como el representante de la Iglesia. La música que acompaña a los comentarios de José de Segovia es de la banda sonora original de Laurence Rosenthal y de la serie Wolf Hall por Jacques Smith, sobre el enfrentamiento de otro dos Tomás, Cromwell y Moro en tiempos de otro Enrique, el octavo. El nombre de Jesús ha sido usado para muchas cosas, como canta Randy Stonehill con Michael W. Smith en 1994 (In Jesus Name). Con él "algunos han construido catedrales de cristal y otros sacrificado su vida / peleado causas necias y confiado en el poder de la paz". Acabamos el programa con una maravillosa canción de Sam Phillips cuando era conocida como Leslie, antes de su matrimonio con T-Bone Burnett. Habla de la entrega a su Nombre "sin palabras vacías / ni orgullo legalista / para que sepan / que Él está a su lado" (Give´em All You Got 1984). En ella se puede distinguir también claramente la voz de Matthew Ward, el cantante con sus dos hermanas del Segundo Capítulo de los Hechos (Second Chapter of Acts).

June 6, 1944 - a day history will never forget. After taking much of mainland Europe, wrecking havoc on civilian populations and propgating the largest genocide in history, Nazi Germany thinks itself nigh invincible.

Hammer horror reaches peak gothic chills with The Plague of the Zombies (1966), a Hammer Film Productions classic that defines British horror cinema. Shot at Bray Studios from 28 July 1965 and filmed back-to-back with Hammer's The Reptile (see episode 19), it used the same eerie Cornish village set designed by Hammer's celebrated production designer Bernard Robinson. Director John Gilling – the so-called “gentleman pig farmer” behind The Shadow of the Cat and The Mummy's Shroud – stages a story of graveyards, curses and the undead that became a template for Hammer zombie horror. Writer Peter Bryan, who joined Hammer Film Productions in 1948 as a camera operator before turning to screenwriting, provided the script and left the studio shortly after completing A Challenge for Robin Hood in 1967. When The Plague of the Zombies was submitted to the BBFC it was heavily trimmed: André Morell's Sir James Forbes originally decapitated a zombie with four shovel blows in the graveyard sequence, reduced to one for the censors. Heatherden Hall at Pinewood Studios doubles as the Forbes mansion, better known to James Bond fans as SPECTRE Island from From Russia With Love. Diane Clare, cast as Sylvia, had been one of the best-paid child “film babies” of the 1940s, appearing in The Ghosts of Berkeley Square and The Silver Fleet before leading roles in Hammer horror such as The Haunting, Witchcraft and The Hand of the Night. Her entire performance in The Plague of the Zombies was dubbed by South African actress Olive Gregg without her knowledge, a practice Hammer repeated when re-voicing Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula. André Morell himself had turned down both The Quatermass Experiment and Quatermass II on television before finally playing Professor Bernard Quatermass in the BBC's Quatermass and the Pit. When Hammer Film Productions made the feature version the role went to Andrew Keir. Morell also played O'Brien opposite Peter Cushing's Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, Dr Watson in Hammer's Hound of the Baskervilles, voiced Elrond in Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings and appeared in Doctor Who. Quiz fans: Morell appeared in three films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar – can you name them? John Carson, born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), plays Clive Hamilton. He spent time in Australia and New Zealand before settling in Britain, later featuring in Doctor Who's Snakedance, Tales of the Unexpected and Hammer House of Horror. IMDb longlists even connect him to Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (episode 39) though he got none of the roles. With this episode we complete a Hammer horror hat-trick of his films: Captain Kronos (episode 51), Taste the Blood of Dracula (episode 60) and now The Plague of the Zombies. He later emigrated to South Africa with his second wife, Luanshya Greer – formerly Pamela Greer, who became a TV writer for Dixon of Dock Green, Thriller and Triangle. Dr Peter Tompson is played by Brook Williams, a lifelong friend of Richard Burton who appeared with him in Where Eagles Dare, The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves. Michael Ripper appears as Sergeant Swift; Hammer's most prolific supporting actor with 33 Hammer Film Productions credits, seven films alongside Peter Cushing and nine with #BigChrisLee. Ripper also starred in all four original St Trinian's films, . For a deeper dive into Jacqueline “Servalan” Pearce, check back to our episode on The Reptile (episode 19). This discussion of The Plague of the Zombies cements its place as one of Hammer horror's boldest British horror releases of the 1960sSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Hon var Hollywoods första miljondollarstjärna som sprängde studiosystemet inifrån. Men det var som aktivist hon till slut hittade sin livs roll. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) slår igenom som barnstjärna i filmen Lassie och är sedan världsberömd för resten av sitt liv. Hon kommer att vinna två Oscars och medverka i filmklassiker som Katt på hett plåttak, Jätten och Vem är rädd för Virginia Woolf?Det är med blockbustern Cleopatra som hon inte bara blir fri från det tvingande studiosystemets klor utan också blir Hollywoods första filmstjärna att tjäna en miljon dollar för sin insats. Det är också under den inspelningen hon möter sin stora kärlek Richard Burton och en affär som blir dubbad ”Le Scandale” av skvallerpressen inleds. ”Liz and Dick” som paret kallas drar till sig sådan uppmärksamhet att det blir grogrunden för vår tids paparazzi-kultur, och uppståndelsen kring Elizabeth Taylors person bedarrar aldrig riktigt, mycket eftersom hon gifter sig åtta gånger, med sju olika män.Men Hollywood-skandaler och filmer är bara en liten del av biografin över Elizabeth Taylor. När AIDS-epidemin lamslår Ronald Reagans USA, är det Elisabeth Taylor som tar ton och driver på i maktens centrum. För hennes långa - och ibland inkognito - engagemang i frågan adlas hon av Elizabeth II.P3 ID om Elizabeth Taylor är historien om ett liv som innehåller så många kapitel, att det ter sig osannolikt. Om diamanter stora som plommon, en filmindustri i förändring och Michael Jackson.I avsnittet medverkar författaren Kate Andersern Brower, som skrivit den officiella biografin om Taylor, och kulturjournalisten Karin Svensson.Programledare och avsnittsmakare: Vendela LundbergProducent: Patrick StaneliusLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonI programmet hörs ljudklipp från: MGM, ABC, The David Frost Tapes, HBO Max Elizabeth Taylor The Lost Tapes, Around the world of Mike Todd, HBOs Bright Lights, The making of Cleopatra, 60 minutes, The Warners - a candidates lifestyle, Mavis on 4, Saturday Night Live, The Larry King Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show och GLAAD.
War of the Worlds (2005) is on trial this week. Did Spielberg catch lightning in a bottle or would it be better left buried? Alex says this is a modern yet faithful adaptation of the seminal novel by H.G. Wells that deftly weaves horror into the blockbuster experience. Dave feels a saccharine ending as well as odd plot changes mean the impact of the original novel is diluted and the film itself is forgettable. All this with a quiz about other takes on this much-adapted work and an impression of Richard Burton. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/274

Richard Burton was a global icon best remembered for his memorable film roles and his passionate - and drama-filled - romance with Elizabeth Taylor, but a new release reveals where it all began. The new biopic Mr Burton will be out in theatres next week and it tells the story of Richard Burton's tumultuous early life - and the school teacher who helped propel him to global stardom. Kate Burton, daughter of Richard Burton and actress in her own right, says many didn't know about her father's early life beyond being born in Wales. "I think it's an amazing achievement - I think they tell the story of my father beautifully, I think a lot of people don't realise where my father came from. The know that he came from Wales, but they didn't know how poverty-stricken his life was as a young person." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Mankiewicz calling the shots and with the luminous Elizabeth Taylor in the title role, Cleopatra should have been a smash.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton gave us the term “paparazzi.” JLo and Ben Affleck gave us combined couple names like ‘Bennifer.' And thanks to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, we will always have “consciously uncoupling.” Way back in episode 11, Kell covered Gwyneth Paltrow and her long-forgotten fiancé, Brad Pitt. Now over 100 episodes later, we're back to revisit the romance between the actress-turned-Goop CEO and Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin. Chris met Gwyneth at a very tender time in Gwyneth's life – just a few weeks after her father's death. Chris was there for her during her darkest hours, and famously wrote “Fix You” for her as she grieved. This week, Chris & Gwyneth inspire us to talk about dating while grieving, the myth of “mutual” breakups, and whether or not your ex can feel like a sibling? P.S. This was recorded weeks before the “Coldplay concert couple” that's been in the news. It's just a bizarre coincidence!! About Significant LoversSignificant Lovers is a true-love podcast exploring couples throughout history and pop culture, hosted by cousins Kelly, Melissa, and Kaitlyn.

Estamos en una época en la que las estrellas viven continuamente pretendiendo ganarse el perdón de los verdugos de las redes por si son de los primeros de la élite en caer si hay una revolución la semana que viene. Hace sesenta años el mundo también estaba al borde de la implosión. La crisis social, los movimientos en defensa de los derechos civiles y la revolución cultural trataron de derribar los cimientos para construir algo nuevo que nunca llegó del todo. En aquel momento hubo una pareja que supuso una revolución a nivel sociocultural, estableciendo una nueva era en torno al mundo de las celebridades. Fue la formada por Elizabeth Taylor y Richard Burton quienes lograron poner de acuerdo a conservadores y revolucionarios, ambos grupos dominados por la moral más estricta, que condenaron a una pareja que hizo del exceso su seña de identidad. Este reportaje pertenece al programa "El Cine de LoQueYoTeDiga" nº 438 (15x23) y fue emitido el 15 de junio de 2024.
His studio was collapsing. His budget was skyrocketing. And his two stars were making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Those were just some of the headaches facing Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the director of one of the most expensive and infamous movies ever made: Cleopatra. With Mankiewicz calling the shots and the luminous Elizabeth Taylor in the title role, Cleopatra should have been a smash. Instead, it was a shoot plagued by medical emergencies, climate disasters and nervous breakdowns… not to mention Taylor's scandalous love affair with Richard Burton. This season, Ben Mankiewicz digs through his own family stories to understand how it turned out so badly for his Oscar-winning uncle. Cleopatra, a six-episode limited series, begins July 17.

We reference our Live dramatic reading of Clue. Our post-credit segment includes us talking about movies where the main character dies and the movie keeps going. If you don't want to spoiled by that conversation, feel free to stop listening when our outro theme song ends at 49:00. This concludes Juneraker. Coming up is a month of hidden gems, starting with Lisa Frankenstein (2024).

TENE and friend watch the star studded 1978 action film The Wild Geese. Richard Burton and Roger Moore (James Bond) play a romanticized versions of Mad Mike and his racist mercenaries, except now they're good guys who just want to teach us how the West should forgive Africans for being corrupt.

Hollywood's infamously tumultuous love story between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton took the idea of an 'apology gift' to another level. Specifically, by Burton buying Taylor a 68 carat diamond.
Los estrenos de hoy tienen grandes personajes. Historias de superación o contradicciones. La primera nos lleva a Gales, a los años 40, donde un joven Richard Jenkins, el hijo de un minero alcohólico, deseará ser actor y con la ayuda de su profesor de literatura y teatro terminará siendo Richard Burton, un icono de Hollywood. De él conocemos sus películas, su carácter airado, sus problemas con la bebida y su matrimonio (dos veces) con Elizabeth Taylor. Pero con esta película, "Mr Burton" sabremos de dónde sale, cómo comenzó su historia. La segunda película, "Baltimore", es la historia real de Rose Dugdale, una aristócrata inglesa, heredera de una fortuna, que se alistó en la organización después del llamado Domingo Sangriento, la masacre de enero de 1972.

Robbie Rozelle is back for round two and I think it's safe to say that we are officially off the rails. After passing up lottery tickets to Hamilton at the Public in 2015, Robbie eventually saw it in previews and promptly had an out of body experience, prompting a StubHub debacle the very next day (remember those days?!). Robbie was the creative director of Playbill at the start and eventual astronomical height of Hamilton, so we take a look back on some of the insane fervor of that time and why some of it was probably not very cool (it's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me). Plus, we share stories about being in the room for some very famous on-stage mishaps: breaking the fourth wall in Wicked and Gypsy, a drunk Richard Burton furious that they gave him the curtain during Camelot, Bette Midler mugging with a purse in Hello Dolly!, and the famous Emily Skinner/Linda Eder situation for that one night only performance of Jekyll & Hyde.

Professor Carl Jones is a conservation biologist who is best known for saving the Mauritius kestrel from extinction. He is the scientific director of Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, chief scientist at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and an honorary professor in ecology and conservation biology at the University of East Anglia.He was born in Carmarthen in Wales and was fascinated with animals from an early age, rearing rescued common kestrels, owls and hawks in his back garden. He studied biology at North-East London Polytechnic and, after learning about the plight of the Mauritius kestrel, he was determined to go out to the country to try to save the bird.He arrived in Mauritius in 1979 when there were only two known breeding pairs left in the wild. By the time he left in 1999 he'd established a captive breeding programme and today hundreds of Mauritius kestrels fly over the islands where he spent decades pioneering his, sometimes controversial, methods. Today the Mauritius kestrel is the national bird. He is also responsible for saving from extinction three species of reptiles, a fruit bat and several plants.He was appointed an MBE for his work in 2004 and in 2016 he won the prestigious Indianapolis Prize – the world's leading award for animal conservation.Carl lives in Carmarthen with his wife and two children and assorted animals including two Andean condors called Carlos and Baby.
