Actors Studio

I have in theatre I find they rarely have to do with the moments on stage despite the fact that I an actor. The moments that make me laugh uncontrollably, want to scream and punch a wall, sob into my pillow all happen in interactions with audience members after a performance.

This is a special movie. It doesn't fit the normal "feel-good" drama genre though. This is one of those movies that pulls you in, let's you physically and mentally associate with the characters, fills you with hope, beats you over and over again, drains your emotional resources, and when the closing credits appear, feel something long after the end credits are done rolling. In a word - "mesmerizing". If I were to pitch this story to Hollywood, my pitch would be nine words: "A Beautiful Mind"…

“It is a fact, blessedly confirmed, that the American movie is affectionately received by audiences of all races, cultures, and creeds on all continents”, was said by the President of MPPA Jack Valenti and he was correct in saying so.

Before the 1940s, Hollywood and the Studio System, was one that carried the American Film Industry to new heights and brought on different visions from aspiring filmmakers and film companies. What was once just a convenient place to escape the grasp and control of The Trust, became the place to be during the 1920s. Hollywood was thriving with the system it created. The Big Five film companies created movies that made those years the Golden Age of Hollywood. But of course a system that gave the…

than I had been in the past. There is a dynamic charisma that I first witnessed from the moment I saw her depiction of Grace Sherman, and I think that is a substantial reason why so many fans are drawn to her and stick with her for life.
