IN ANGELA'S OWN WORDS:I was in the 3rd grade at an elementary school in rural Oregon, when my teacher Mrs. Peterson gave me the lead role of Little Red Riding Hood in the school play to help me overcome my paralyzing shyness. It worked. If she saw me now, she'd ask me to stand down and let someone else take a turn.Following my 9-year-old acting debut, I auditioned for a nearby musical theatre company with my mom & brother.  They were both cast in the chorus of ‘The Music Man,' and I was asked to stay off-stage and run the spotlight. My lack of singing ability stalled my career as quickly as it started. The acting bug didn't strike again until a modeling gig for a cheerleading uniform company helped me land an agent in Portland. From there came a handful of commercials and lots of dinner theatre.I didn't exactly sprint out of the gate, but I did count my blessings early with a fun role in a Robin Williams movie and a guest-star role on ER, …oooh, maybe I'll meet Clooney!Then there was a big writer's strike. It went on so long my agency shut down and I was, as they say on set, ‘back to one.' (Disclosure-I was and am in full support of my fellow union workers!)Waiting for the phone to ring sucks, so I took matters into my own hands and produced a staged play at a small black box theatre. Surely, if I spent all my hard-earned waitressing dollars on theatrical rights, stage rentals, and hard-to-find props, I'd be discovered.When that didn't work, I decided to by a camcorder and take a film class at the community college. I wrote a short film about the perils of being a struggling actress and managed to convince some friends to help me make it. My mom was even in town and worked as a free cinematographer.The countless short films and web series may not have been seen by Spielberg, but they sure were a blast. And learning about every stage of production and every job on set paid off in ways I'm still benefitting from.  Both in working knowledge & connections.I won best comedy writing awards, best comedy actress awards, and best indie film awards. I got to play all three Kartrashian sisters, Elizabeth Taylor and even dropped my first single complete with a music video. If only auto-tune had been around for that early musical audition!The skills behind the scenes have helped me find a ‘day job' that allows me to share my talents with the local non-profit, Alzheimer's Los Angeles, where I develop and create edutainment that raises awareness and makes a difference in people's lives. Some of the scripted works have received multiple boundary-breaking and innovation awards.Along my journey I met the uber-talented Laura Lee Bahr, who wrote and directed a feature for me to produce and star in alongside the cutest dog in the world, who happens to be mine. It was truly an art-imitating-life story about an actress, moonlighting as a dog-walker who must save an adorable Maltese from some crazy Hollywood characters. We overcame the typical odds of an indie film and secured both national and worldwide distribution.  #humblebragI've schmoozed as a TV Academy member, performed my set on famous comedy stages and finally got to go to the Emmys.I should probably add some more celebrity name dropping and list the high-profile credits, but this bio has gotten a little too long so you will have to click on the resume button on my website if you want to see those.I'm grateful to be able to pursue the things I love and build fabulous relationships along the way. While I may not have my series regular role…YET, I'm certainly living my dream.More info and to contact Angela:  http://www.angelalandis.comPhoto credit:  Danette MitchellMusic courtesy  Zakhar Valaha/Pixabay.To contact Wilkinson- BecomingWilkinson@gmail.com

Lucho heeft in de Jeugdzorg gewerkt en is daarna voor een periode naar Zuid-Amerika gegaan. Daar heeft hij ervaren wat het belang is van een time-in i.p.v. een time-out. Bij een conflict het kind niet een time-out geven maar juist met de groep samenkomen. Samen bespreken wat er is gebeurd, wat het effect daarvan was en hoe dit opgelost kan worden. Zo wordt het een waardevol moment voor de hele groep. Gezien worden Een belangrijk eigen thema in zijn jeugd was gezien willen worden. Lucho herkent dit heel erg bij de jongeren met wie hij werkt. ‘Bij het binnenkomen vind ik het belangrijk om iedereen bij langs te gaan. Om even in te checken; hoe gaat het met je. En om het kind te laten weten ‘ik zie je'. De dag beëindig ik door alle kinderen individueel te bedanken voor deze dag en dan blikken we heel even terug, wat maakte deze dag fijn.' Lucho vertelt ook hoe belangrijk het is om kinderen te helpen hun talenten te ontdekken. Door ze uit te dagen om nieuwe dingen uit te proberen. Maar ook de kinderen zelf keuzes laten maken. Jij denkt mee, stelt vragen en geeft handvaten. Het zijn alleskunners. Kinderen hebben support nodig, ze hebben het nodig dat je hen steunt en laat weten dat ze het goed doen. Over Lucho: een jong professional in de Jeugdzorg. Hij werkt als Pedagogisch medewerker bij Quadrant en volgt een opleiding bij de TV Academy.   Veel luisterplezier!

Nesse episódio do Verdade Seja Dita, eu repito meu mantra sobre as indicações do Emmy Awards, a maioria dos membros da Television Academy vota sem assistir as séries que estão na corrida. Essa é a opinião que não mudou desde que estive na premiação pela primeira vez, em 2010. O mais agravante até é que, além de não darem chance aos novos seriados, muitos nem acompanham a temporada atual dos shows que estão na corrida e que, mesmo assim, acabam elegendo os mesmos como seus favoritos em diversas categorias, baseados nas campanhas realizadas pelos serviços de streaming e pelas emissoras de TV aberta e canais a cabo, pelo buzz, pela familiaridade com alguns profissionais e pela fama de outros. Em suma, desde os tempos que Tatiana Maslany sofreu uma injustiça ao não ser indicada para o Emmy Awards por sua performance brilhante em Orphan Black (quando indicada, no ano seguinte, pela pressão dos fãs e da imprensa, Tatiana levou a estatueta na categoria melhor atriz drama) até hoje, quando Selena Gomez não recebe uma indicação, enquanto os seus dois companheiros de cena (Steve Martin e Martin Short) são privilegiados com o reconhecimento, em Only Murders In The Building, o fato é que os membros da Television Academy têm muito trabalho a fazer, especialmente em relação à diversidade que, mesmo com o recorde de indicações da série coreana "Squid Game" - o primeiro seriado falado em língua estrangeira a concorrer na categoria melhor série drama-, ainda tem categorias dominadas por atores brancos.

For more than 60 years, veteran actor Eli Wallach was in demand to appear on stage and screen. Eli, who passed away in 2015 at age 98, appeared in more than 100 movies and has appeared in numerous stage productions, both with and without his wife, actress Anne Jackson. In this newly archived show, originally taped in 1998 before his appearance in great recent movies such as “The Holiday” and “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”, we discussed longevity in show business, and how he mixed his career with his important family values.

We don't know whose idea the character Marsha, Queen of Diamonds, was, but it's clear that she was created with one woman in mind: Zsa Zsa Gabor. A script for the actress was commissioned by Greenway Productions through a talent agency to two writers, Tom Cannan, Jr, and Jack Cash. The script they produced, Marsha, The Queen of Diamonds (note the extra definite article) is riddled with problems, from requiring special effects way beyond the show's means, to flagrant mischaracterization of the Caped Crusader, to some really lame “holys” from Robin. This time, we pick through the wreckage of one of the more egregious scripts we've discussed on this show. Who will buy? Nobody. PLUS: A punk rock version of the theme by Thirty Going On Thirteen, and your mail about our episode on the development of the show. William Self interview on the TV Academy site

These two prolific creators are proof positive that there is no one precise path to success in the entertainment industry, but I do hope you pick up on some of the many commonalities and nuggets of wisdom shared by these two wonderful men and are able to apply it to your own journey. Enjoy!

Between out-of-state projects like the Killers of the Flower Moon, Minari, Reagan, Reservation Dogs, and Stillwater, and homegrown projects like Mickey Reece's Agnes and Kyle Kauwika Harris's Out of Exile, Oklahoma seems to be in the middle of a boom in film and TV productions. Thanks to increasing tax incentives, new talent development programs from the Oklahoma Film and TV Academy, larger sound stages from Green Pastures Studio and Prarie Surf Media, and top-notch emerging talent, both behind and in front of the camera, Oklahoma continues to carve out its place as one of the top states in the country for making film and television. Earlier this year, MovieMaker Magazine named both Oklahoma City and Tulsa among its Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2021. In today's exclusive deadCenter 2021 keynote conversation, we're joined by an incredible panel of leaders working in the Oklahoma film and television industry including the Oklahoma Film+Music Office's Tava Sofsky, Green Pastures Studio's Melodie Garneau, and Oklahoma filmmaker, Cassie Gann, to talk with us about what's driving the exciting momentum in increased film and TV productions in our state.  Don't miss this deadCenter 2021 keynote conversation to hear unique insights into […] The post deadCenter 2021 Keynote #1 – What Makes Oklahoma a Great Place to Make Movies in 2021? appeared first on The Cinematropolis.

In weeks, the first approved Covid-19 vaccines will be injected into Americans. Tonight we ask one of our own about their experience in the Pfizer vaccine trials and we break down everything known so far about how soon most people in the US can expect to get it. Then in the Just One Question segment we discuss the Oxford Dictionary's decision to not pick one specific word to describe 2020 and we pick our own, we also discuss what it says about Scott Disick that he keeps dating the 19 year old daughters of celebrities and then we try to decide which 2 actors should represent the US Motion Picture and TV Academy, if that existed. We closed the show by marking the 38th anniversary of the release of Terms Of Endearment and we each give our opinions of the saddest movie ending of all time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tmihollywood/support

Director Leslie Martinson, in his TV Academy interview that we explored last time, kept coming back to the question “What is the director’s input” in a TV show or movie? When he pointed out his input to the famous “bomb” scene in Batman: The Movie, we became curious to see what other aspects of the film might show signs of “the director’s input.” So this time, we dig into the script of the Batman ’66 film to see where else Martinson’s fingerprints might turn up. ALSO: The Nostalgia Choir (?) version of the Batman theme, your input on episode 142, and D’oh prizes galore for “Impish Humor Batman” sightings in the series!

Leslie Martinson was the director of “The Penguin Goes Straight”/“Not Yet He Ain’t” and “Batman: The Movie.” He was a good friend of Adam West’s (but thought Burt Ward was “adequate”). As a director, how much impact did he have on the Batman legacy? For one thing, he played a big role in shaping the “bomb” scene into a signature scene of Adam West Batman! The TV Academy’s 2003 interview with Martinson reveals this (especially when we take a look at the movie’s script), as well as some of Martinson’s experiences in making various movies and TV shows - sometimes in front of a stress-inducing live audience. We discuss the interview, dig into Acey Hudkins’ accident on the set of the movie, and ask the question: Is the “bomb” scene camp? (Get your sleeping bag!) Also, the Steelism version of the theme, a Deja Vu encounter with one Steve Franken, and your mail on … various topics.    

Julie Newmar appeared as Catwoman in six two-parters during the first two seasons of Batman. During that time, the show and her character evolved, and while some might not agree with the direction they took, it’s hard to deny that Julie did both the evil, whip-snapping Catwoman and the Batman-besotted, comic Catwoman-of-a-thousand-disguises very well. Then in season three, she was gone and Eartha Kitt took her place. Do many of us find ourselves dissatisfied with Kitt’s very satisfactory version of Catwoman, just because Kitt wasn’t the first to play the role? What different characteristics do we see in the two versions - some of them due to the actors’ choices, and others being beyond their control? Our friend Kyle joins us once again, bringing the power of the “word cloud” to our discussion, discussing our bias toward the first version we see (any who preferrrrr Eartha?), and helping us generally compare and contrast the two takes on the character. Plus a marching-band take on two different Batman themes, and your response to episode 137’s discussion of Yvonne Craig’s memoir!

We also breakdown all the speculation about whether or not Tenet & Mulan will/can move from their dates, Benedict Cumberbatch’s spy thriller got a name change in The Courier, Ben Mendelsohn reminds us he’s Australian in Babyteeth, and we wonder about IFC’s plans with Made In Italy. And all that happens in just our first two segments. The HFPA tweaked their rules for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Globes while the TV Academy ruled out Oscar Noms at the Emmys. We then dive back into some industry news regarding AMC vs Universal and what surveys reveal about Premium VOD. Rumors about Amazon and AMC spiked up the struggling theater chain’s stock price, and AMC raised a whole lot of necessary capital to thrust us into a discussion on how to fix the entire world amidst the pandemic. Umm, we just have to get things off our chest sometimes. Finally, we cover the latest breaking news on how the Cannes Film Festival will pivot without a physical event this year, which films still need to sell at their virtual market, and how the fall fests like NYFF are making hybrid plans.

Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and once again critics were crying "snub!"-- but not as often as in previous years. Critics loved FX's The Americans and the CW's Jane the Virgin, but neither show received much attention from the TV Academy. At least actress Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black finally got a nomination.
