Macy) and two daughters. 2 WEST HOLLYWOOD Felicity Huffman is on a wild ride. Her ABC show, Desperate Housewives, became hot, hot, hot last season and hasn't lost much steam. She won the Emmy in September over two of her Housewives co-stars. And now she is getting not just critical praise, but also Oscar talk, for her performance in the upcoming film Transamerica, in which she plays Sabrina "Bree" Osbourne, a pre- operative man-to-woman transsexual. After more than 20 years as an actress, this happily married, 42-year-old mother of two is today's "it" girl. "It couldn't happen to a nicer gal," says Housewives creator Marc Cherry. "Felicity is one of those success stories that was waiting to happen." Huffman has enjoyed the kindness of critics before, particularly for her role on Sports Night, an ABC sitcom in the late '90s. And Cherry points out that her stock in Hollywood has been high. "She has always had the respect of this entire industry," he says. But that's nothing like having a hit show and a movie with awards potential, albeit a modestly budgeted, art house-style film.

  • California Court Finds Wrongful Termination Tort Too Desperate, but Permits Statutory Claim for Disparate Treatment
    Management Alert California Court Finds Wrongful Termination Tort Too Desperate, But Permits Statutory Claim For Disparate Treatment California employees can file tort claims against employers who impose adverse employment actions in violation of public policy. They have used this theory to challenge wrongful terminations and demotions. In Touchstone Television Productions v. Superior Court (Sheridan), the California Court of Appeal rejected an effort to extend this tort theory to an employer’s decision not to exercise an option to renew a contract. The Facts In 2004, Touchstone Television Productions (“Touchstone”) hired actress Nicollette Sheridan (“Sheridan”) to appear in a new television series, Desperate Housewives. The parties’ agreement gave Touchstone the option to annually renew Sheridan’s employment for up to six additional seasons. Touchstone exercised its option to renew the agreement with Sheridan for Seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5. During Season 5, Sheridan reported to Touchstone that Marc Cherry, the series’ creator, had hit her during the filming of an episode. Five months after this alleged incident, Touchstone informed Sheridan that it would not exercise its option to renew her contract for Season 6, because her character would be killed during Season 5. Sheridan continued to work during Season 5, filming three more episodes and doing publicity for the series. Sheridan sued Touchstone and Cherry in April 2010. She asserted various claims, including a claim that Touchstone fired her in retaliation for complaining about Cherry’s conduct. The Trial Court Decision The matter went to trial in February 2012. The jury deadlocked on the wrongful termination claim and the trial court declared a mistrial.

Like, Natasha Richardson, the star of movies like “The Parent Trap,” surely Mom has a hand at, like, why this is happening right now,” died at age 45 after suffering a severe brain injury in a skiing ac- cident in Canada in 2009. Writer and director James D’Arcy wrote the script before Richardson died, and when he sent it to Neeson, it was with a lot of trepidation. “I thought we could get a pretty insulting note back saying, ‘how dare you send him a script like that?’ And actually, it was completely the opposite. He really responded to it personally,” D’Arcy said. Neeson suggested his real-life son be cast in the film, but wanted to make sure Richardson was protected. “He’s a pretty young man and he had a terrible trauma 10 years ago. And I did not want him to be traumatized in the making of the film,” Neeson said.

Pela paciência, compreensão e apoio nos momentos de desespero. Pelos anos comentando os episódios semanais de The Office religiosamente e pelo respeito aos spoilers quando uma assistiu antes da outra. Fazer pesquisa sobre uma série querida e com uma amiga foi um aprendizado e um prazer.

Às nossas mães e famílias que, apesar de não fazerem ideia do que estávamos fazendo e porque estávamos tão ocupadas e ranzinzas, tentaram ajudar da forma que podiam.
