    Knowing Good Sex Pays Off: The Image of the Journalist as a Famous, Exciting and Chic Sex Columnist Named Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s Sex and the City By Bibi Wardak Abstract New York Star sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw lives the life of a celebrity in HBO’s Sex and the City. She mingles with the New York City elite at extravagant parties, dates the city’s most influential men and enjoys the adoration of fans. But Bradshaw echoes the image of many female journalists in popular culture when it comes to romance. Bradshaw is thirty-something, unmarried and unsure about having children. Despite having a successful career and loyal friends, she feels unfulfilled after each failed romantic relationship. I. Introduction “A wildly successful career and a relationship -- I was afraid…women only get one or the other.”1 That’s a fear Carrie Bradshaw just can’t shake. The sex columnist for the New York Star is unmarried, career-oriented and unsure if she will ever have a traditional family.2 Just like other modern sob sisters, she is romantically unfulfilled and has sacrificed aspects of her personal life for professional success.3 Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker in HBO’s hit television show Sex and the City, portrays a stereotypical image of female journalists found in television and film.4 She and other female journalists in the series struggle to balance a successful Knowing Good Sex Pays Off: The Image of the Journalist as a Famous, Exciting and Chic Sex Columnist Named Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s Sex and the City By Bibi Wardak 2 career and satisfying romantic life.

Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television."

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2016 Copyright 2016 by Andrea Schwab ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project could not have been completed without the assistance and support of so many, and my words alone cannot express my thanks to all those involved. The academic environment that Florida Atlantic University’s Department of History established facilitated my curiosity, allowing me to realize and pursue my passion in film history. I would like to express my deepest gratitude towards Dr. Jeffrey Buller, whose constant support and academic guidance gave me the confidence to challenge myself, pushing my intellectual boundaries to new levels. Our enlightening discussions over various lunches were some of my favorite parts of this entire process, and have given way to a long-lasting friendship I am honored to have. I would also like to thank my other committee members: Dr. Boyd Breslow, whose revisions and careful feedback advanced my research into unfamiliar territory, and Dr. Ilaria Serra, who sparked my interest in film analysis and allowed me to audit her Italian History through Film course. My committee members were not the only faculty to have supported me in this endeavor, and while it would be difficult to name the entire esteemed faculty at the FAU History Department, they have enriched my time here in such profound ways.

  • No One Goes Quietly in the Final Season of HBO's Boardwalk Empire
    No one goes quietly in the final season of HBO's Boardwalk Empire Miami FL – August 21, 2014 – HBO’s Emmy® and Golden Globe winning original drama series Boardwalk Empire returns for its eight-episode, fifth and final season on Sunday, September 7th in the Caribbean, simultaneously with the United States. Created by Terence Winter (Emmy®-winning writer of “The Sopranos”) and directed by Martin Scorsese (Academy Award winner), this Prohibition era series chronicles the life and times of Atlantic City’s undisputed ruler, Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, portrayed by award-winning actor Steve Buscemi. The first four seasons took place during the 1920s, and this new season leaps seven years forward to the depths of the Great Depression in 1931, where Nucky recalls his Atlantic City roots and plots a post-Prohibition future. As the country struggles to cope with the Depression, and with the end of Prohibition in sight, Nucky looks to legitimize himself through alliances with liquor producers, while rivals Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky seek to consolidate their power in the wake of Arnold Rothstein’s death and eliminate all competition – by any means necessary. In addition to Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire stars Kelly Macdonald as Margaret, Nucky’s estranged wife; Michael Shannon as former Federal Agent Nelson Van Alden, caught up in gangland conflicts; Shea Whigham as Nucky’s brother Eli, who went underground after killing a federal agent; Stephen Graham as gangster Al Capone; Vincent Piazza as gangster Lucky Luciano; Paul Sparks as gangster Mickey Doyle; Michael Kenneth Williams as Nucky’s former ally Chalky White; Gretchen Mol as Gillian, now battling her demons; and Jeffrey Wright as Valentin Narcisse, Chalky’s nemesis.
