Podcast appearances and mentions of Sue Lyon

Frank Sinatra plays a private eye who is hired to keep track of a spoiled heiress (Sue Lyon).  However, the seemingly easy job devolves into tracking down stolen jewelry and murder. Co-starring Jill St. John, Gena Rowlands and Richard Conte.

In this episode of Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan hitch a ride with Towing (1978), a quirky and lesser-known comedy starring Sue Lyon and Jennifer Ashley. Set in Chicago, this indie flick follows two women taking on a corrupt towing company that's wreaking havoc on unsuspecting drivers. The hosts break down the film's humor, its slice-of-life approach to storytelling, and its unique portrayal of urban life in the late ‘70s. Does Towing deserve to be rediscovered as a hidden gem, or is it destined to stay parked in obscurity? Tune in to find out!

Bereits vier Jahre nachdem in den USA die ungekürzte Fassung von »Lolita« erschien, kam die Verfilmung von Stanley Kubrick in die Kinos. Vladimir Nabokov hatte sogar das Drehbuch geschrieben, das jedoch nicht verfilmbar war und den Film über sechs Stunden lang gemacht hätte. Kubrick schrieb daher das Drehbuch selbst, vereinbarte jedoch, dass Nabokov weiterhin im Vorspann als Drehbuchautor genannt wird. Kubrick ging in keiner Weise auf das Thema der Pädophilie ein, sondern machte aus dem Roman einen Film noir mit Anteilen einer schwarzen Komödie. In der Rolle des Humbert Humbert ist James Mason zu sehen, die Lolita verkörperte Sue Lyon. Die Rolle des Qulity übernahm Peter Sellers. Fünfunddreißig Jahre später wurde der Roman erneut von Adrian Lyne verfilmt, der zuvor mit Werken wie »Flashdance« und »9 ½ Wochen« bekannt wurde. Hier spielt Jeremy Irons den Humbert Humbert und Dominique Swain ist in der Rolle der Lolita zu sehen. Obwohl realistischer angelegt, wirkt dieser Film heute unfreiwillig komisch bis peinlich. »Lolita« ist hier die Klischeefigur der verführerischen Göre. Beim Literaricum in Lech stellte die Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftlerin Elisabeth Bronfen beide Filme vor und erläuterte auch die Referenzen zu Filmen von Fritz Lang oder Hitchcock, die Kubrick einbaute. Im Podcast des literaturcafe.de fasst Elisabeth Bronfen nochmals ihr Urteil zusammen. Allerdings auch mit dem Resümee, dass es eigentlich keine der beiden Verfilmungen benötigt hätte.

On today's episode of Gaybros Go over all Kubrick Movies, we talk about Lolita (1962) by Stanley Kubrick with Sue Lyon and Peter Sellers (x4)

This week we have a look at the 1980 film Alligator. This is Episode #426! Alligator is a 1980 American independent horror film directed by Lewis Teague and written by John Sayles. It stars Robert Forster, Robin Riker and Michael V. Gazzo. It also includes an appearance by actress Sue Lyon in her last screen role. Set in Chicago, the film follows a police officer and a reptile expert who track an enormous, ravenous man-eating alligator flushed down the toilet years earlier, that is attacking residents after escaping from the city's sewers.

Det finns flera kopplingar till verkligheten i Vladimir Nabokovs "Lolita". Romanen och fallet Sally Horner får kritikern Hanna Johansson att reflektera över att bli sedd och se sig själv utifrån. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2019.På det mest kända fotografiet av Sally Horner sitter hon på en gunga vars rep hon håller i sina båda händer. Hon har en ljus kortärmad klänning, vita tjocka sockor och lackskor. Hon ler, hon är solbränd, hon har några fräknar. Hon är elva men ser ut att vara äldre, nästan som en tonåring eller som en vuxen kvinna som har spökats ut till ett barn.Fotografiet är taget i Atlantic City sommaren 1948. Bakom kameran stod Frank Lasalle, hennes kidnappare och våldtäktsman som skulle komma att hålla henne fången i ytterligare tjugo månader efter att bilden togs, på en färd som skulle ta dem kors och tvärs genom USA med stopp på otaliga motell och husvagnsområden.Om historien känns bekant från Vladimir Nabokovs roman ”Lolita” från 1955 är det inte en slump. Där drabbas den tolvåriga amerikanska flickan Dolores Haze av den högutbildade europén Humbert Humberts pedofila besatthet. Efter att han har gift sig med Dolores mamma – som praktiskt nog strax därefter omkommer i en bilolycka – tar han med sig henne på en febrig resa genom landet, kantad av övergrepp. Lolita är det smeknamn han ger sitt unga offer, sin nya styvdotter – nymfetten, som han kallar henne – och namnet har kommit att bli synonymt med det sexualiserade barnet.”Hade jag gjort samma sak med Dolly”, tänker Humbert Humbert mot romanens slut, ”som Frank Lasalle, en femtioårig mekaniker, gjort med elvaåriga Sally Horner 1948?”Inspirerades alltså Nabokov av Sally Horners historia, är det hon som är Lolita? Denna lite grovhuggna fråga försökte författaren Sarah Weinman besvara i en bok från 2018, och bokens titel ger kanske en ledtråd om hennes syn på saken: den heter ”The Real Lolita”.Relationen mellan verklighet och fiktion i ”Lolita” är omskriven sedan tidigare. Dels i förhållande till romanens opålitlige berättare, dels med hänsyn till de verkliga händelser som då och då bryter igenom berättelsen.Kritikern Alexander Dolinin har diskuterat hur Nabokov använde sig av den sanna historien om Sally Horner, hur han placerade ut ledtrådar i texten innan denna mening dyker upp och bekräftar sambandet.Till exempel låter han Dick Schiller, den man Dolores gifter sig med efter att hon har flytt Humbert Humberts våld, vara mekaniker. Och i Humbert Humberts mun lägger han formuleringar i stort sett direkt kapade ur de tidningsnotiser om Sally och Lasalle som Nabokov läste medan han skrev sin roman.Dessutom, spekulerar Dolinin, måste särskilt en författare som Nabokov, så förtjust i anspelningar och allitterationer som han var, ha blivit överlycklig av duons likartat klingande namn Sally och Lasalle – som ju påminner om sale, det franska ordet för smutsig.Men någon större gåta är det egentligen inte, förhållandet mellan den verkliga Sally Horner och den fiktiva Dolores Haze. Sally Horner var varken den första eller den sista att drabbas av ett öde som liknar Lolitas.När jag pratar om ”Lolita” med andra kvinnor visar det sig nästan alltid att vi någon gång under läsningen har frågat oss själva: var jag som hon? Frestade jag någon när jag var i hennes ålder, med den förpubertala kropp jag avskydde så mycket, en kropp som varken tillhörde ett barn eller en kvinna, som kändes som en asymmetrisk hög av ben och fett?Det verkade otänkbart, och ändå visste vi ju att det inte alls var det. Jag minns när jag som sexåring fick höra talas om hur en flicka som hette Natasha Kampusch hade försvunnit i Österrike, och när jag som fjortonåring läste i tidningen att hon hade rymt efter åtta års fångenskap. Jag växte upp med en skräck för vita skåpbilar och främmande män.Men i den frågan – frestade jag någon? – ligger också en dold önskan. Att bli sedd av en man, att göra män galna, såldes in som existensens högsta syfte och finaste pris. Frestelsen framstod som så mystisk för att den var något att både befara och begära.I en av låtarna på Lana Del Reys första skiva, ”Off to the races” lånar hon de berömda öppningsorden från ”Lolita”: ”light of my life, fire of my loins”. Eller i Aris Fioretos svenska översättning: ljuset i mitt liv, elden i mina länder. Den dubbla betydelsen i ”länder” blir som en illustration av denna brända jordens kärlekshistoria, där det enda som får Dolores att stanna hos sin styvfar är att han förstör hennes möjligheter till ett annat liv.Lana Del Reys låt är, som så många av hennes låtar, en berättelse om att vara galen, att vara förälskad, om att vara snygg, om att bli iakttagen; låtens jag beskriver sig själv sedd utifrån, i en vit bikini i en ljusblå simbassäng, i en röd klänning i ett rum av glas. Det är en berättelse om frestelsens frestelse.Jag tänker ofta på Sara Stridsberg när jag lyssnar på Lana Del Rey, fascinationen inför en särskild version av Amerika som de delar, som de delar också med Nabokov. I romanen ”Darling River”, med undertiteln ”Doloresvariationer”, bearbetar hon Nabokovs nymfettgestalt och låter den ta olika skepnader: där finns Dolores Haze, där finns Lo som är döpt efter henne, där finns en aphona som utsätts för vetenskapliga experiment. Vid ett tillfälle talar Lo såhär: ”Jag stod borta vid jukeboxen och valde musik.””Jag stod borta”; till och med när det är hennes egen röst vi hör är det som om hon såg sig själv från ett avstånd, precis som Lana Del Rey i den där låten.En vanlig reaktion hos den som blir utsatt för ett övergrepp är att avskärma sig från sin egen upplevelse, lämna kroppen; så kan man förstå det avståndet. Men kanske ringar det in något långt mer grundläggande än så: den komplexa, skräckblandade förtjusningen inför att bli betraktad.Det var genom Sarah Weinmans bok som jag lärde mig att Frank Lasalle tog den mest kända bilden av Sally Horner, och jag har inte kunnat sluta tänka på det. Jag hade utgått från att fotografiet var taget av en familjemedlem, ett möjligen iscensatt lyckligt barndomsminne, men ändå ett slags lyckligt barndomsminne, och inte en bild av konstruerad barnslighet regisserad av en besatt och våldsam man.Fotografiet är inte alls explicit. Det är inte som bilderna jag ofrivilligt har kommit att förknippa med Lolitas namn: bilderna av henne som en ung fresterska, bilden av Sue Lyon i Stanley Kubricks filmatisering som på filmaffischen suger förföriskt på en rubinröd klubba bakom hjärtformade solglasögon. I sitt arkiv hade paret Nabokov ett nummer av magasinet Cosmopolitan från 1960, där en fyrtiotreårig Zsa Zsa Gabor är utklädd till en Lolitafigur med nattlinne och ett äpple i handen. Lolitas namn och idén om det sexiga barnet är oskiljaktiga. Lolita är någon som vuxna kvinnor kan spökas ut till.Det är som om Sally Horner, också i detta avseende, har drabbats av Lolitas öde. Den fiktiva Dolores Haze är hågkommen för det smeknamn hon fick av en man som våldtog och rövade bort henne. Sally Horners namn kommer aldrig att nämnas utan Frank Lasalles. Och på den mest kända bilden av henne, den som vid första anblick tycks uttrycka sorgfri barndom, är det honom hon ser – och han som ser henne.Hanna Johansson, kritikerLitteraturSarah Weinman: The Real Lolita – The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel That Scandalized the World.

"Lolita" is a controversial and thought-provoking film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel of the same name by Vladimir Nabokov. Released in 1962, the film tells the story of a middle-aged literature professor named Humbert Humbert (played by James Mason) who becomes infatuated with a teenage girl named Dolores Haze, also known as Lolita (played by Sue Lyon).

Warner Bros George Feltenstein and horror and monster film historian Tom Weaver take us through the December 2022 Warner Archive Blu-ray releases.  We start with the 1958 sci-fi horror film "Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman" starring Allison Hayes, Yvette Vickers, and William Hudson.  Tom provides background on the film and the unfortunate tragic end to stars Hayes and Vickers.  George details the 4K scan from the original camera negative to make a terrific new HD master. Then we discuss the John Huston-directed 1964 drama “The Night of the Iguana" starring Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Grayson Hall, and Sue Lyon.  This adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play is a showcase for the actors and director John Huston and the new 4K scan provides a wonderful clarity to the black and white picture.Purchase on Amazon:Attack of the 50 Ft.

A Gringo Like Me - Ennio Morricone (1963) From the film Duello nel Texas, also known as Gunfight at Red Sands and Gringo. Featuring the voice of Peter Tevis. Tevis was credited with singing the theme song of the animated television series Underdog in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Tevis ran a record label called Pet Records, based in Burbank, California. The label released records designed to train pet birds to talk as well as other pet training records.  Brainstorm - Lovin' Is Really My Game (1977) Canned Heat (feat. Little Richard) - Rockin' With The King (1972)  Diesel - Sausalito Summernight (Live) A guilty pleasure for me, much in the vein of "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck. The original song came out in 1979. This is a slick live version, replete with guests, but I still like it.  Quincy Jones - Do It-To It! (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the movie "$". What was LR doing in the '70s? Trying to carve out a living with new, flaccid original material or guesting on other people's records. Fighting the strong tide of easy money that contemporaries like Jerry Lee, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, etc. were grabbing. GARDEN PARTY INDEED!!! AMIRITE?!? Ennio Morricone - An Eye for an Eye (1965) From the film "For a Few Dollars More", Part 2 of the "Dollars Trilogy". In 2012, that guy on the cover would talk to a chair in front of millions.  Ennio Morricone - Angel Face (1965) Taken from the 1965 movie 'Una Pistola Per Ringo' directed by Duccio Tessari. This and the previous were sung by Maurizio Graf.  Ennio Morricone - Un Ami (1973) From the film "Revolver", starring Oliver Reed, who was Ann-Margret's husband in 1975's "The Who's Tommy".  Ennio Morricone - Nana (1982) I like this song.    Isaac Hayes - Good Love 6-9969 (1971) Before the hyper-meta revival of his career as "Chef" on South Park, Isaac Hayes, boys and girls, was sort of a Barry White/Ronald Isley (reinvented) prototype, releasing long, slow grooves of a sexual nature, covering songs like 'Walk On By" by Bacharach/David, but at about 4 times longer and slower than the original to make his fucking point. His biggest hit was "Shaft", for which he won an Oscar, he co-wrote "Soul Man" for Sam and Dave, as well as "Hold On, I'm Coming". He paid his dues. While inferior to Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield, his place in popular culture was well-assured even before he sang "Chocolate Salty Balls". Having said that, after listening to some of his discography from the later '70s, I'm pretty sure he could have recorded THAT as a b-side and no one would have batted an eye.  Helen Reddy - Ladychain (1975)  Here is where it gets serendipitously strange.  I watched "Lolita". It was ok. But I wanted to see some of James Mason's other later work. Which led me to "The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go" from 1970. it was directed by Burgess Meredith, of "Rocky" fame. He was "The Penguin" in the campier '60s TV version of Batman. "James Mason is a Chinese-Mexican crime lord whose weapon of choice is a spear gun. Burgess Meredith is his Chinese acupuncturist/bodyguard. Jeff Bridges is a novelist of Joycean vision turning rough-trade tricks on the side." But I wanted to know who wrote these crazy songs. One of which I ripped from the opening scene on YouTube and present here in shabby audio, since, obviously, there's no soundtrack.  A Marcia Waldorf wrote the lyrics. Did she sing them, too? She doesn't recall, as I immediately found her email address and wrote to her, and she replied!! She told me all sorts of tales that I will not share here, but she DID write a song that appeared on this Helen Reddy LP, and it was written about Duane Allman. And it's VERY obscure. But no more obscure than her own solo albums (there were 2) of which I play a few later on, for you.  Isaac Hayes Movement - Disco Connection (1975) Isaac Hayes - Feel Like Makin' Love (1975)  Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (1971) Isaac Hayes - Zeke the Freak (1978)  Little Richard - Thomasine (1972) Lucifer's Friend - Toxic Shadows (1970) I just can't get enough of these Les Humphries Singer projects! This was John Lawton, who sang LHS hits like "Mama Loo" and "Sing Sang Song", and then he joined Uriah Heep and he still rocks out today with what I can only call a hair plug fiasco.  Marcia Waldorf - Memoranda (1975) This is one of those times where everyone listening to this show, I can PROMISE you, has never heard a setlist that even resembles this! Quincy Jones - Money Is (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the soundtrack to the movie "$".  Quincy Jones - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) Quincy Jones is the father of Rashida Jones. When you look at the video for the song "We Are The World" with Lionel Richie and Mike Jackson, that older man waving a baton around, exhorting all those singers to sing their guts out for all those African warlords is Quincy Jones!  When you hear that funky flute music that Austin Powers is dancing around to, that, also, is Quincy Jones!  Quincy Jones - Summer In The City (1973) Quincy Jones - The Dude (1981)  Sue Lyon - Lolita Ya Ya (1962) This was an example of a studio trying everything to manufacture a star, including deflowering her via a powerful movie producer. She acted in a few other things, and she wasn't bad. For my purposes, I only care about her recorded history, which consisted of one single. I suggest doing research on Sue Lyon. She was a tragic figure that didn't die soon enough, for lack of a better term.    Sue Lyon - Turn Off the Moon (1962)  Marcia Waldorf (?) - The Yin and the Yang (1970) - Intro with Burgess Meredith and James Mason. Waldorf Travers - Night Blindness (1979) @DarrellNutt can you make my drums sound like this? According to Marcia, this album was not released in the US.  Rupert Holmes - Why Am I Walking Without You (1974) This is the same guy that would take over the sophisticated white record buyer's soul with "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" not 5 years later.  But before that, he struggled with this project and that, and...this, from the movie "Wet Rainbow", a pornographic film starring Georgina Spelvin and Harry Reems (both from "The Devil In Miss Jones", Georgina was a hooker in the first "Police Academy" movie) which by all accounts was actually a good movie. When you're a young songwriter, every opportunity is the right one. See? I just exposed you to a porno. Get right with your god, sicko. I will soon do a whole show on Rupert and Christopher Cross. But his stuff was pretty tightly controlled, so maybe not him.  Ennio Morricone - The Ballad Of Hank McCain (1969)  Mego - Fonzie Commercial Spot (1976)

Titled Aya to Majo (Aya and the Witch), the movie will air on NHK in Japan this winter. Earwig is an orphan girl who has lived at St. Morwald's Home for Children ever since she was a baby, but all of that changes the day that she is adopted by a mysterious woman named Bella Yaga, who turns out to be a terrible witch and brings Earwig to live in her home of supernatural trinkets. With help from a talking cat, Earwig must use her wits to survive in her new magical surroundings. The colourful carousel of images sees a digression from the traditional, hand-drawn animation that Studio Ghibli is well-renowned for. Instead, this feature has opted for a new kind of art style with an entirely 3D computer-generated story that centres around Earwig, the young girl with the broomstick. Hayao Miyazaki is overseeing the adaptation’s planning, while his son Goro, who helmed From Up On Poppy Hill, is directing. Toshio Suzuki is producing.21 June 2020 – Lilo & Stitch turns 18 - https://comicbook.com/movies/news/lilo-and-stitch-fans-celebrate-anniversary-twitter-trend/18 years ago, Lilo & Stitch hit theaters, spawning a franchise still beloved by Disney fans all these years later. After grossing $273.1 million at the box office for Walt Disney animation, the fan-favorite animated feature went on to introduce three more movies and a television series. A year after its release, the Stitch-centric Stitch! The Movie hit theaters and two years after that, Lilo & Stich 2: Stitch Has a Glitch made its way to the masses. The franchise then ended with Leroy & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch: The Series, both of which set sail in 2006. More recently, however, new reports have surfaced that say Disney+ is now developing a hybrid live-action/CGI remake for the platform. Prior to any coronavirus shutdowns, the film was reported to start production later this year. No further information has been released about the project as of now.22 June 2020 – Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged guitar sells to Australian for record $9m - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-22/kurt-cobains-guitar-bought-by-australian-for-9-million/12379316An Australian businessman hopes his purchase of music icon Kurt Cobain's acoustic guitar could help boost the struggling global music industry. The 1959 Martin D-18E guitar was played by Cobain during his 1993 MTV Unplugged performance in New York. It now holds the record for being the most expensive guitar in the world after being purchased by the founder of Rode Microphones, Peter Freedman, for $US6 million ($8.8 million). Mr Freedman plans to display the guitar on a worldwide tour, the proceeds of which will go back to the performing arts sector. "I did it to highlight the massive crisis in the arts," he told ABC Radio Brisbane. "I've got the attention of government, I've got the attention of everyone asking me why I did it." "Musos and entertainers get nothing — it's as though they don't exist," he said. His main motivation is to lobby on behalf of musicians in countries like as Germany, the UK and Australia. "The money that comes from it mightn't be much, but it's the focus on governments, and the effects of this will last forever if I do it right," Mr Freedman."It's not the money we need, it's the people, the support.23 June 2020 – Joel Schumacher passes away at 80 - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-23/filmmaker-joel-schumacher-dies-at-80/12383008The man behind the flamboyant reinvention of Hollywood's Batman franchise, Joel Schumacher has died. From a job dressing department store windows to costume design for Woody Allen's 1970s movies Interiors and Sleeper, the New Yorker made his mark on the big screen in 1985 with the coming-of-age movie St Elmo's Fire. That project launched the careers of the Brat Pack — Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy — and had the movie industry clamouring for more of Schumacher's brilliance. The Lost Boys, Flatliners, John Grisham adaptations The Client and A Time to Kill and the critically acclaimed Falling Down followed. Audiences loved Schumacher's overly dramatic and exuberant Batman Forever in 1995, but panned its follow-up, Batman & Robin in 1997. After theBatman films, Schumacher pulled back from blockbusters and returned to making minimalist films such as Tigerland and Phone Booth, both earning positive reviews. He also directed The Phantom of the Opera , The Number 23, and two episodes of House of Cards. He died from cancer in New York City.24 June 2020 – Segway ends production - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-24/segway-ends-production-of-vehicle-falls/12386530Segway is ending the production of its namesake vehicle. The two-wheeled personal transporter, which the company boldly claimed would revolutionise the way people got around, will be retired on July 15. While used by tourists and some police forces, the vehicle also became known for high-profile crashes. It even resulted in the death of a former Segway company president, who drove one off a cliff in 2009. The company said 21 employees would be laid off, another 12 employees would stay on for two months to a year, and five would remain at the Bedford, New Hampshire facility. The transportation revolution that inventor Dean Kamen envisioned when he founded the company in 1999 never took off. The Segway's original price tag of around $US5,000 was a hurdle for many customers. It was also challenging to ride, because the rider had to be balanced at a specific angle for the vehicle to move forward. If the rider's weight shifted too much in any direction, it could easily spin out of control and throw the rider off. They were banned in some cities because users could easily lose control if they were not balanced properly. In 2017, Segway got into the scooter business, just as the light, inexpensive and easy-to-ride two-wheelers took over urban streets. It comes after decades of high-profile falls, viral videos and even the death of a former company owner.23 June 2020 – Deus Ex turns 20- https://techraptor.net/gaming/features/deus-ex-20th-anniversary-nameless-mod-retrospective- https://www.techradar.com/au/news/deus-ex-20th-anniversary-programmer-scott-martin-talks-about-working-on-the-pc-gaming-masterpieceIf a game came out today that depicted a world ravaged by a viral outbreak, dehumanized by capitalism, in the throes of mass public riots, gripped by anti-government sentiment, and witnessing the progressive breakdown of American society amid the rise of China as an autonomous superpower, you might think it was too on-the-nose. Twenty years ago however, it was simply the setting of a radical, and somewhat prophetic video game, called Deus Ex. Directed by System Shock producer Warren Spector and designed by future Dishonored creative director Harvey Smith, Deus Ex represented a profound leap in both storytelling and mechanical depth for first-person video games. The game placed players in the role of J.C. Denton, a cybernetically augmented United Nations Anti-Terrorism agent who gradually unravels a web of conspiracies gripping the dark cyberpunk future of 2052. Its sprawling world was dense with philosophical questions, conflicted morality, deep characters, and all the ingredients that make an instant classic; its character customization system and resulting player freedom is still imitated today. It’s success spawned a lukewarm sequel in 2003 withInvisible War, and then a successful revival in 2011 with the prequel Human Revolution and its own sequel in 2016,Mankind Divided. The original game is fondly remembered in PC gaming communities with the meme, “every time you mention it, someone will install it.”. Seven years after its release, Deus Ex served as the basis for one of the most impressive mods of its generation, known only as The Nameless Mod. Reflecting on the original Deus Ex's revered place in PC gaming history, Scott Martin one of the only three programmers tasked with coding the entire game using the very first Unreal Engine, keeps it humble. "I feel honored and privileged to have worked on the game," he said, "and happy that so many people still remember it fondly after all this time!"Remembrances22 June 1965 – David O. Selznick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._SelznickAmerican film producer, screenwriter and film studio executive. He is best known for producing Gone with the Wind (1939) and Rebecca (1940), each earning him an Academy Award for Best Picture. In 1926, Selznick moved to Hollywood, and with the help of his father's connections, he gained a job as an assistant story editor at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He left MGM for Paramount Pictures in 1928, where he worked until 1931, when he joined RKO as Head of Production. His years at RKO were fruitful, and he worked on many films, including A Bill of Divorcement , Rockabye,Bird of Paradise, and King Kong. Despite his output of successful movies at MGM,Paramount Pictures, and RKO Pictures, Selznick longed to be an independent producer with his own studio. In 1935 he formed Selznick International Pictures, and distributed his films through United Artists. His successes continued with classics such as, A Star Is Born , The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Gone with the Wind , which remains the highest-grossing film of all time (adjusted for inflation). Gone with the Wind won eight Oscars and two special awards. He produced his second Best Picture Oscar winner in a row, Rebecca , the first Hollywood production of British director Alfred Hitchcock. Selznick had brought Hitchcock over from England, launching the director's American career. Rebecca was Hitchcock's only film to win Best Picture. Gone with the Wind overshadowed the rest of Selznick's career. Later, he was convinced that he had wasted his life trying to outdo it. The closest he came to matching the film was with Duel in the Sun. With a huge budget, the film is known for causing moral upheaval because of the then risqué script written by Selznick. The film would be a major success. The film was the second highest-grossing film of 1947 and was the first movie that Martin Scorsese saw, inspiring Scorsese's own directorial career. He died from heart attack at the age of 63 in Hollywood, California.22 June 1969 – Judy Garland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_GarlandBorn Frances Ethel Gumm, American actress, singer, and dancer. During a career that spanned 45 years, she attained international stardom as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Garland began performing in vaudeville as a child with her two older sisters and was later signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. She appeared in more than two dozen films for MGM and is remembered for portraying Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Garland was a frequent on-screen partner of both Mickey Rooney and Gene Kelly. Although her film career became intermittent thereafter, two of Garland's most critically acclaimed performances came later in her career: she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in A Star Is Born (1954) and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Judgment at Nuremberg. At age 39, Garland became the youngest and first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry. In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the 10 greatest female stars of classic American cinema. She died from Barbiturate overdose at the age of 47 in London.22 June 1990 – Ilya Frank - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_FrankIlya Mikhailovich Frank, Soviet winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1958 jointly with Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov and Igor Y. Tamm, also of the Soviet Union. He received the award for his work in explaining the phenomenon of Cherenkov radiation. In 1934, Frank moved to the Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences . Here he started working on nuclear physics, a new field for him. He became interested in the effect discovered by Pavel Cherenkov, that charged particles moving through water at high speeds emit light. Together with Igor Tamm, he developed a theoretical explanation: the effect occurs when charged particles travel through an optically transparent medium at speeds greater than the speed of light in that medium, causing a shock wave in the electromagnetic field. The amount of energy radiated in this process is given by the Frank–Tamm formula. The discovery and explanation of the effect resulted in the development of new methods for detecting and measuring the velocity of high-speed nuclear particles and became of great importance for research in nuclear physics. Cherenkov radiation is also widely used in biomedical research for detection of radioactive isotopes. He died at the age of 81 in Moscow.Famous Birthdays22 June 1834 – William Chester Minor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Chester_MinorAlso known as W. C. Minor, American army surgeon and one of the largest contributors of quotations to the Oxford English Dictionary. He was also held in a psychiatric hospital from 1872 to 1910 after he murdered George Merrett. It was probably through his correspondence with the London booksellers that he heard of the call for volunteers for what was to become the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). He devoted most of the remainder of his life to that work. He became one of the project's most effective volunteers, reading through his large personal library of antiquarian books and compiling quotations that illustrated the way particular words were used. He was often visited by the widow of the man he had killed, and she provided him with further books. The compilers of the dictionary published lists of words for which they wanted examples of usage. Minor provided these, with increasing ease as the lists grew. It was many years before the OED's editor, Dr. James Murray, learned Minor's background history, and visited him in January 1891. In 1899 Murray paid compliment to Minor's enormous contributions to the dictionary, stating, "we could easily illustrate the last four centuries from his quotations alone." He was born in Ceylon22 June 1898 – Erich Maria Remarque - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Maria_RemarqueBorn Erich Paul Remark, 20th-century German novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), about the German military experience of World War I, was an international best-seller which created a new literary genre, and was subsequently made into the film All Quiet on the Western Front. Remarque had made his first attempts at writing at the age of 16. Among them were essays, poems, and the beginnings of a novel that was finished later and published in 1920 as The Dream Room (Die Traumbude). All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues) (1929), his career defining work, was written in 1927. Remarque was at first unable to find a publisher for it. Its text described the experiences of German soldiers during World War I. On publication it became an international bestseller and a landmark work in twentieth-century literature. It inspired a new genre of veterans writing about conflict, and the commercial publication of a wide variety of war memoirs. It also inspired dramatic representations of the war in theatre and cinema, in Germany as well as in countries that had fought in the conflict against the German Empire, particularly the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Remarque continued to write about the German experience after WWI. His next novel, Three Comrades (Drei Kameraden), spans the years of the Weimar Republic, from the hyperinflation of 1923 to the end of the decade. His fourth novel, Flotsam (in German titled Liebe deinen Nächsten, or Love Thy Neighbour), first appeared in a serial version in English in 1939. His next work, the novel Arch of Triumph, was first published in 1945 in English, and the next year in German as Arc de Triomphe. Another instant bestseller, it reached worldwide sales of nearly five million. His final novel was Shadows in Paradise. He as born in Osnabrück,German Empire.22 June 1899 – Richard Gurley Drew - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Gurley_DrewAmerican inventor who worked for Johnson and Johnson, Permacel Co., and 3M in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he invented masking tape and cellophane tape. While testing their new Wetordry sandpaper at auto shops, Drew was intrigued to learn that the two-tone auto paint jobs so popular in the Roaring Twenties were difficult to manage at the border between the two colors. In response, after two years of work in 3M's labs, Drew invented the first masking tape, a two-inch-wide tan paper strip backed with a light, pressure-sensitive adhesive. The first tape had adhesive along its edges but not in the middle. In its first trial run, it fell off the car and the frustrated auto painter growled at Drew, "take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!" (By "Scotch," he meant "cheap".) The nickname stuck, both to Drew's improved masking tape, and to his 1930 invention, Scotch Brand cellulose tape. In 1930 he came up with the world's first transparent cellophane adhesive tape (called sellotape in the UK and Scotch tape in the United States). During the Great Depression, people began using Scotch tape to repair items rather than replace them. This was the beginning of 3M’s diversification into all manner of marketplaces and helped them to flourish in spite of the Great Depression. He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota.22 June 1958 – Bruce Campbell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_CampbellBruce Lorne Campbell, American actor, voice actor, producer, writer and director. One of his best-known roles is Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise, beginning with the 1978 short film Within the Woods.

He was born in Royal Oak, Michigan.Events of Interest22 June 1633 – The Holy Office in Rome forces Galileo Galilei to recant his view that the Sun, not the Earth, is the center of the Universe in the form he presented it in, after heated controversy. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair#Trial_and_second_judgment,_1633Galileo was interrogated while threatened with physical torture. A panel of theologians, consisting of Melchior Inchofer, Agostino Oreggi and Zaccaria Pasqualigo, reported on the Dialogue. Their opinions were strongly argued in favour of the view that the Dialogue taught the Copernican theory. Galileo was found guilty, and the sentence of the Inquisition, issued on 22 June 1633, was in three essential parts:Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the center of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse, and detest" those opinions.He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.22 June 1978 – End of the World came in theatres in Columbia - https://www.scifihistory.net/june-22.htmlOn this day in 1978 (in Colombia), End of the World served up yet one Apocalyptic-themed SciFi/Thriller. The feature film starred Christopher Lee (in a dual role) and Sue Lyon, and here's the premise as cited "After witnessing a man's death in a bizarre accident, Father Pergado goes on a spiritual retreat, where he encounters his alien double bent on world conquest." For no apparent reason, French distributors cut the movie down to one hour and fifteen minutes for its French theatrical release, Sir Christopher Lee only appearing in its prologue and its conclusion. Sir Christopher Lee has said about this movie: "Some of the films I've been in I regret making. I got conned into making these pictures in almost every case by people who lied to me. Some years ago, I got a call from my producers saying that they were sending me a script and that five very distinguished American actors were also going to be in the film. Actors like José Ferrer, Dean Jagger, and John Carradine. So I thought "Well, that's all right by me". But it turned out it was a complete lie. Appropriately, the film was called End Of The World."22 June 1978 – Charon, the first of Pluto's satellites to be discovered, was first seen at the United States Naval Observatory by James W. Christy. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_(moon)#DiscoveryOn June 22, 1978, he had been examining highly magnified images of Pluto on photographic plates taken with the telescope two months prior. Christy noticed that a slight elongation appeared periodically. The blob seemed to move around Pluto. The direction of elongation cycled back and forth over 6.39 days―Pluto's rotation period. Searching through their archives of Pluto images taken years before, Christy found more cases where Pluto appeared elongated. Additional images confirmed he had discovered the first known moon of Pluto. The International Astronomical Union formally announced Christy's discovery to the world on July 7, 1978. After its discovery, Charon was originally known by the temporary designation S/1978 P 1, according to the then recently instituted convention. On June 24, 1978, Christy first suggested the name Charon as a scientific-sounding version of his wife Charlene's nickname, "Char".IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

I enjoyed talking to Howard Johns about his book A Stolen Paradise. Its a wonderful look at what went on behind the scenes of making The Night Of The Iguana. It had a wonderful cast, Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Sue Lyon, Grayson Hall. Of course Elizabeth accompanied her Richard. The tabloids were saying would Richard go with Ava or Sue. Guess what, he stayed with his Elizabeth. There was lots of drinking, some drama, throw in John Huston and Tennessee Williams, what a story.  You will enjoy podcast and the book. I want to thank Howard Johns for being so terrific.    Mostly I want to thank the listeners. You all are the best.

Remembering Sue Lyon, Don Imus, Gertrude Himmelfarb Sue Lyon was the talented young actress who gave the legendary title performance opposite James Mason in the 1962 Stanley Kubrick film, Lolita. She was only 15 years old, playing a 12-year old, when the movie was released. Don Imus was one of the first shock jocks - radio disc jockeys known for their outrageous behavior. He was one of New York City’s most popular personalities for decades. Gertrude Himmelfarb was a leading conservative intellectual, whose specialty was the Victorian age. She was married to Irving Kristol, another one of the top intellectuals of our era.

durée : 00:12:36 - L'actualité des industries culturelles et du numérique - par : Zoé Sfez - SUE LYON | L'actrice s'est éteinte à l'âge de 73 ans. Elle a été révélée par son premier rôle dans le film Lolita de Stanley Kubrick en 1962, d'après le roman de Vladimir Nabokov. AMAZON | Paul Davis, programmeur chez Amazon, lève la voix contre le PDG de la firme américaine.

Det finns flera kopplingar till verkligheten i Vladimir Nabokovs "Lolita". Romanen och fallet Sally Horner får kritikern Hanna Johansson att reflektera över att bli sedd och se sig själv utifrån. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången i mars 2019. På det mest kända fotografiet av Sally Horner sitter hon på en gunga vars rep hon håller i sina båda händer. Hon har en ljus kortärmad klänning, vita tjocka sockor och lackskor. Hon ler, hon är solbränd, hon har några fräknar. Hon är elva men ser ut att vara äldre, nästan som en tonåring eller som en vuxen kvinna som har spökats ut till ett barn. Fotografiet är taget i Atlantic City sommaren 1948. Bakom kameran stod Frank Lasalle, hennes kidnappare och våldtäktsman som skulle komma att hålla henne fången i ytterligare tjugo månader efter att bilden togs, på en färd som skulle ta dem kors och tvärs genom USA med stopp på otaliga motell och husvagnsområden. Om historien känns bekant från Vladimir Nabokovs roman Lolita från 1955 är det inte en slump. Där drabbas den tolvåriga amerikanska flickan Dolores Haze av den högutbildade europén Humbert Humberts pedofila besatthet. Efter att han har gift sig med Dolores mamma som praktiskt nog strax därefter omkommer i en bilolycka tar han med sig henne på en febrig resa genom landet, kantad av övergrepp. Lolita är det smeknamn han ger sitt unga offer, sin nya styvdotter nymfetten, som han kallar henne och namnet har kommit att bli synonymt med det sexualiserade barnet. Hade jag gjort samma sak med Dolly, tänker Humbert Humbert mot romanens slut, som Frank Lasalle, en femtioårig mekaniker, gjort med elvaåriga Sally Horner 1948? Inspirerades alltså Nabokov av Sally Horners historia, är det hon som är Lolita? Denna lite grovhuggna fråga försökte författaren Sarah Weinman besvara i en bok från 2018, och bokens titel ger kanske en ledtråd om hennes syn på saken: den heter The Real Lolita. Relationen mellan verklighet och fiktion i Lolita är omskriven sedan tidigare. Dels i förhållande till romanens opålitlige berättare, dels med hänsyn till de verkliga händelser som då och då bryter igenom berättelsen. Kritikern Alexander Dolinin har diskuterat hur Nabokov använde sig av den sanna historien om Sally Horner, hur han placerade ut ledtrådar i texten innan denna mening dyker upp och bekräftar sambandet. Till exempel låter han Dick Schiller, den man Dolores gifter sig med efter att hon har flytt Humbert Humberts våld, vara mekaniker. Och i Humbert Humberts mun lägger han formuleringar i stort sett direkt kapade ur de tidningsnotiser om Sally och Lasalle som Nabokov läste medan han skrev sin roman. Dessutom, spekulerar Dolinin, måste särskilt en författare som Nabokov, så förtjust i anspelningar och allitterationer som han var, ha blivit överlycklig av duons likartat klingande namn Sally och Lasalle som ju påminner om sale, det franska ordet för smutsig. Men någon större gåta är det egentligen inte, förhållandet mellan den verkliga Sally Horner och den fiktiva Dolores Haze. Sally Horner var varken den första eller den sista att drabbas av ett öde som liknar Lolitas. När jag pratar om Lolita med andra kvinnor visar det sig nästan alltid att vi någon gång under läsningen har frågat oss själva: var jag som hon? Frestade jag någon när jag var i hennes ålder, med den förpubertala kropp jag avskydde så mycket, en kropp som varken tillhörde ett barn eller en kvinna, som kändes som en asymmetrisk hög av ben och fett? Det verkade otänkbart, och ändå visste vi ju att det inte alls var det. Jag minns när jag som sexåring fick höra talas om hur en flicka som hette Natasha Kampusch hade försvunnit i Österrike, och när jag som fjortonåring läste i tidningen att hon hade rymt efter åtta års fångenskap. Jag växte upp med en skräck för vita skåpbilar och främmande män. Men i den frågan frestade jag någon? ligger också en dold önskan. Att bli sedd av en man, att göra män galna, såldes in som existensens högsta syfte och finaste pris. Frestelsen framstod som så mystisk för att den var något att både befara och begära. I en av låtarna på Lana Del Reys första skiva, Off to the races lånar hon de berömda öppningsorden från Lolita: light of my life, fire of my loins. Eller i Aris Fioretos svenska översättning: ljuset i mitt liv, elden i mina länder. Den dubbla betydelsen i länder blir som en illustration av denna brända jordens kärlekshistoria, där det enda som får Dolores att stanna hos sin styvfar är att han förstör hennes möjligheter till ett annat liv. Lana Del Reys låt är, som så många av hennes låtar, en berättelse om att vara galen, att vara förälskad, om att vara snygg, om att bli iakttagen; låtens jag beskriver sig själv sedd utifrån, i en vit bikini i en ljusblå simbassäng, i en röd klänning i ett rum av glas. Det är en berättelse om frestelsens frestelse. Jag tänker ofta på Sara Stridsberg när jag lyssnar på Lana Del Rey, fascinationen inför en särskild version av Amerika som de delar, som de delar också med Nabokov. I romanen Darling River, med undertiteln Doloresvariationer, bearbetar hon Nabokovs nymfettgestalt och låter den ta olika skepnader: där finns Dolores Haze, där finns Lo som är döpt efter henne, där finns en aphona som utsätts för vetenskapliga experiment. Vid ett tillfälle talar Lo såhär: Jag stod borta vid jukeboxen och valde musik. Jag stod borta; till och med när det är hennes egen röst vi hör är det som om hon såg sig själv från ett avstånd, precis som Lana Del Rey i den där låten. En vanlig reaktion hos den som blir utsatt för ett övergrepp är att avskärma sig från sin egen upplevelse, lämna kroppen; så kan man förstå det avståndet. Men kanske ringar det in något långt mer grundläggande än så: den komplexa, skräckblandade förtjusningen inför att bli betraktad. Det var genom Sarah Weinmans bok som jag lärde mig att Frank Lasalle tog den mest kända bilden av Sally Horner, och jag har inte kunnat sluta tänka på det. Jag hade utgått från att fotografiet var taget av en familjemedlem, ett möjligen iscensatt lyckligt barndomsminne, men ändå ett slags lyckligt barndomsminne, och inte en bild av konstruerad barnslighet regisserad av en besatt och våldsam man. Fotografiet är inte alls explicit. Det är inte som bilderna jag ofrivilligt har kommit att förknippa med Lolitas namn: bilderna av henne som en ung fresterska, bilden av Sue Lyon i Stanley Kubricks filmatisering som på filmaffischen suger förföriskt på en rubinröd klubba bakom hjärtformade solglasögon. I sitt arkiv hade paret Nabokov ett nummer av magasinet Cosmopolitan från 1960, där en fyrtiotreårig Zsa Zsa Gabor är utklädd till en Lolitafigur med nattlinne och ett äpple i handen. Lolitas namn och idén om det sexiga barnet är oskiljaktiga. Lolita är någon som vuxna kvinnor kan spökas ut till. Det är som om Sally Horner, också i detta avseende, har drabbats av Lolitas öde. Den fiktiva Dolores Haze är hågkommen för det smeknamn hon fick av en man som våldtog och rövade bort henne. Sally Horners namn kommer aldrig att nämnas utan Frank Lasalles. Och på den mest kända bilden av henne, den som vid första anblick tycks uttrycka sorgfri barndom, är det honom hon ser och han som ser henne.

Download Episode! A Stolen Paradise, The True Story About the Making of the Night of the Iguana. An Interview with Author Howard Johns Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be to [caption id="attachment_754" align="alignright" width="199"] A Stolen Paradise by Howard Johns[/caption] introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa group of restaurants,  La Palapa and The Eldorado Restaurant on the Southside of town, right down on the beach in Puerto Vallarta and if you play your cards right you can catch Alberto Perez singing and playing the Samba de Puerto Vallarta and more lovely tunes while enjoying dinner under the stars, toes in the sand at the waters edge. So romantic, so Puerto Vallarta. [caption id="attachment_399" align="alignright" width="300"] ATM Machines in Lobby of the Puerto Vallarta Airport[/caption] Now before we get into this interview, I want to do a little housekeeping. First, as of a couple of days ago, and this podcast was recorded and produced February 26, 2017,  here at the Puerto Vallarta airport, the bank ATM machines have been removed from the lobby where you buy your taxi cab transfers. Now people here on the ground are of the opinion that this is a temporary situation, at least until they are done with the remodel of the airport or sooner. I will keep you advised as to when they re-appear. Until then, bring some pesos from home, either from your bank or a money exchange near you. Or just buy your taxi voucher using your very own funny money and get to an Bank attached and affiliated ATM when you get a chance later. For more ideas on exchanging money just go to episode 2 of the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show. Next, I have added a new page to the website and I’m very excited about this, it has all of the best Webcams in Puerto Vallarta. Some of these cameras are great for watching a sunset right from your Barcalounger at home so go to www.puertovallartatravelshow.com and click the webcam tab and catch your Puerto Vallarta sunset today and if you have a favorite webcam that I have missed, just send me a link and I will add it for you. The more the merrier right? Click Here to Learn To Count to 100 in Spanish   Next, in the last episode I talked a little about learning the language about learning Spanish and how to count to one hundred in Spanish. I forgot to mention that if you go to my website and check the shownotes to the last episode, I have a link to a site where you will learn to count to 100 in Spanish. It’s easy it’s free and you will find it by going to www.Puertovallartatravelshow.com , the episode with JR about the customs and the people of Puerto Vallarta. Lastly, I have the new prices for the Federal Airport taxis leaving the airport to your hotel or resort or condo and I will give you that info after [caption id="attachment_400" align="alignright" width="300"] Taxi Pay Window in the Puerto Vallarta Airport[/caption] my interview with Author Howard Johns, which I’ going to get right into now. [caption id="attachment_755" align="alignleft" width="251"] Howard Johns, Author[/caption]     Most people know that Puerto Vallarta was put on the map by those folks in Hollywood. The filming of the Night of the Iguana turned this once tiny little fishing village into a jet-setter destination. And since this is a podcast about Puerto Vallarta, I would be remiss If I were to ignore this large piece of the historic puzzle of this place Puerto Vallarta. So naturally I reached out to my next guest. Howard is the author of the soon to be released book A Stolen Paradise, The True Story About the Making of the Night of the Iguana. Howard Johns is a film historian, author and television personality from Palm Springs, California. In 2004, he wrote the bestselling nonfiction [caption id="attachment_757" align="alignright" width="150"] Palm Springs Confidential[/caption] book Palm Springs Confidential: Playground of the Stars (Barricade Books), which sold out through three printings. Two years later, Johns published the scandalous follow-up Hollywood Celebrity Playground with similar success.   Howard Johns has been interviewed on numerous TV news broadcasts and documentary programs, discussing the lives and deaths of celebrities. He first gained widespread recognition as a producer for NBCs live coverage of the funeral of Congressman Sonny Bono. Howard has met and interviewed such stars as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Kirk Douglas, Stefanie Powers, George Hamilton, and Suzanne Somers. He also has been featured on such top-rated network programs as Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition, and Hard Copy. So without any further ado, let’s go to my apartment in Puerto Vallarta, just two blocks from Casa Kimberly, the famous home of Elizabeth Taylor and we’ll talk about the filming of the night of the Iguana and more with Author Howard Johns.
