I loved the idea of Libby's sofa being magical where Hollywood stars just seem to appear out of it. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe. And now Grace Kelly is standing in her wedding dress right in front of A Night in with Grace Kelly. This is certainly a book that should be on your list to read first in January Apr 03, Liberty K rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. My best friend. My true love. My soulmate. That book was perfection. Once again, Lucy Holliday made magic with this one. That book made me laugh, cry, eye roll yeah, a lot! A LOT! But nonetheless the storyline had the perfect ending, although to get there Libby and her choices sucked the life out of me. For real 'Though trust me,' he says, A Night in with Grace Kelly, leaning closer to place his forehead against mine. For real girl, just talk to him already! Oh Libby. And Olly. And Bogdan. And Dillon. And Cass. And Nora. I'm really going to miss you! May 28, Mandy White rated it really liked it Shelves: audibletbrread-in Loved it, but sad that this series is over now.

A magical - even though slightly annoying as well- ending as it was definitely expected of this series.

Plus, we never really got the big romantic scene at the end with Olly, which was practically the only thing we had been expecting for 3 whole books. Anyway, that doesn't mean it wasn't worth reading cause it definitely A Night in with Grace Kelly had its laugh-out-loud moments and I am sure going to miss these characters. I hope she reconsiders and writes another one later on! Mar 01, Karen rated it liked it. I give it 3. Actually felt the story didn't need the part with Grace Kelly or where the 3 movie stars step in to help save her thought that was unbelievable and made no sense. Overall the story was enjoyable, great weekend, beach read with charming characters, nice romance and you found yourself rooting for Libby and Olly to be together. Dec 02, Roman Clodia rated it it was ok. I love the wacky concept of having Grace Kelly appear from Libby 's battered old sofa but sadly that's the high-point of this tired book. Yet again, a humble, modest, always-putting-herself-down girl stars in a story where she's so dim and naive that it's a wonder she survives in London Bring on the old 'I love my best friend, but he has a girlfriend' trope where it's clear Olly loves her back - and gosh, this drippy pair deserve each other. Holliday is heavy-handed as a writer, spells out ev I love the wacky concept of having Grace Kelly appear from Libby 's battered old sofa but sadly that's the high-point of this tired book. Holliday is heavy-handed as a writer, spells out every last thing, doesn't know when to stop and just flattens every possibility of humour. Only venture here if you have a very high tolerance for cheesy chick-lit. ARC received via NetGalley Dec 22, Rachel Gilbey rated it it was amazing. What a wonderful return to the story of Libby Lomax, her unrequited love of best friend Olly, and her enchanted Chesterfield Sofa that has a habit of manifesting Hollywood greats from it. Normally I'd mention in a review if a book can be read as a standalone, but I was so pleased to be back with these characters, and enjoying the book so much, I literally haven't given it a thought until now. I am sure that if you have read the other two, then this is a fabulous final book in the trilogy. If you What a wonderful return to the story of Libby Lomax, her unrequited love of best friend Olly, and her enchanted Chesterfield Sofa that has a habit of manifesting Hollywood greats from it. If you haven't then I think you would still enjoy A Night in With Grace Kelly, as it did take me a few chapters to remind myself what was going on, and a lot of the relevant back story does appear. There are many hilarious moments in this book, a lot A Night in with Grace Kelly them involving Libby's sister, Cass and mother. They become even more self obsessed and shallow than ever before, when they discover just who Libby has just met and started to date, Joel. Joel is a lovely guy, and he is clearly able to think A Night in with Grace Kelly more than just himself. I loved the way on only their second real meeting he goes out of his way to help Libby's friends, when they really need half a miracle, and I think that is what set into motion the entire second half of the book. There are a whole multitude of good looking men in Libby's life, and I just had my fingers crossed the whole book that she A Night in with Grace Kelly end up with the correct one. Grace Kelly does, as you make expect from the title, make a few appearances in the book, but I felt her influence was a lot less than we have had previously with Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, but A Night in with Grace Kelly what Grace was saying to Libby, was succinct, to the point, and was actually really good advice for what Libby was going through at A Night in with Grace Kelly time. It was great to learn a small amount about Grace Kelly too, as although I know she is a Hollywood icon, I didn't really know anything else before reading this book. Libby Lomax is just such a loveable character, she gets herself though into some interesting and funny situations, some of the time just because she may be daydreaming, or for other small reasons, and suddenly things seem to snowball slightly. Thank you so much to Harper for this copy of the book that I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily. Nov 06, Kathleen Gray rated it really liked it. If you've read the previous two books, you A Night in with Grace Kelly that is a silly premise which makes for an entertaining novel that you just have to give it up for. If you haven't read the earlier Libby Lomax books, Holliday gives you enough back story to enjoy the latest installment and perhaps make you want to read the others. Grace Kelly did not have a totally happy ending as a Princess but she's a good person to give Libby, who can use it, some advice.

    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • The PHILADELPHIA STORY
    The PHILADELPHIA STORY Study Guide and Dramaturgical Packet Mia Haruko Logan * TRACY: Story? What Story? SANDY: The Philadelphia Story. MARGARET: And what on earth’s that? - Act I * The Story Behind the Play Phillip Barry’s play The Philadelphia Story premiered on March 28, 1939 at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway. The show ran for 417 performances and was so popular that before the show closed to go on the road in March 1940, the film version was already in the works. In December 1940, less than a year after the play closed on Broadway to go on tour, the film premiered in New York and was later generally released in January 1941 so as not to compete with the touring stage production. The character of Tracy Lord was based on the real socialite, Helen Hope Montgomery Scott who was married to one of Phillip Barry’s friends. He wrote the part specifically for Katherine Hepburn. In 1938 Katherine Hepburn was considered "box office poison" but Barry’s play helped revive her career. Along with her partner at that time, Howard Hughes, Hepburn bought out her own contract with RKO Radio Pictures and acquired the film rights to The Philadelphia Story, which she sold to MGM Pictures on the condition that she be the star and have the right to choose her co-stars, Cary Grant and James Stewart. (They were the second choices as Hepburn’s first choices, Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, were unavailable.) The Philadelphia Story is considered one of Barry’s most popular plays. Philadelphia Ledger wrote it was “the season’s most sparkling comedy” and Barry “the best manipulator of light dialogue in American theatre.” The play also inspired a musical remake in 1956 called High Society starring Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Louis Armstrong.

  • Holiday (1938) Or How Live to Work and Make Money Cannot Buy Happiness
    HOLIDAY (1938) OR HOW LIVE TO WORK AND MAKE MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS DÉBORA ESPINOSA ANTÓN Abstract In 1938 was released the second big screen version of Philip Barry’s play “Holiday: a comedy in three acts”, written in 1928, about money and happiness only a year before the crash of 1929. Ten years later, Donald Ogden Stewart, Philip Barry’s partner at Yale and the inspiration for the Professor Nick Potter character, wrote the script to take the play brought to the big screen by George Cukor. Two years before filming the movie, in 1936, Ogden became Chairman of the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League, considered during the 1947 HUAC’s hearings as a fellow traveler. At the script Professor Nick (Edward Everett Horton) at the end of the story is forced to travel to Europe in a hurry for no apparent reason. Holiday (1938) becomes a story about power, money and ideals, where young Johnny Case (Cary Grant) must choose between happiness and accumulate great wealth, offering a critical insight about the idea of "to live to work", and questioning the need to accumulate assets and wealth when there's no time to enjoy and spend. KEY WORDS: Ideology, money, wealth, power, happiness. Resumen En 1938 se estrenó la segunda versión para la gran pantalla de la obra teatral de Philip Barry, “Holiday: a comedy in three acts”, escrita en 1928, sobre el dinero y la felicidad tan solo un año antes del crack de 1929. Diez años más tarde, Donald Ogden Stewart, compañero de Philip Barry en Yale e inspiración del personaje del Professor Nick Potter, escribió la adaptación cinematográfica que fue llevada a la gran pantalla por George Cukor.

  • THE PHILADELPHIA STORY Directed by George Cukor USA, 1940, 112 Mins, Cert U
    THE PHILADELPHIA STORY Directed by George Cukor USA, 1940, 112 mins, Cert U Starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey Opening on 13 February 2015 at BFI Southbank, IFI Dublin, Cornerhouse Manchester and selected cinemas UK-wide George Cukor’s dazzling, sophisticated tale of a society wedding threatened by scandal is one of the greatest and best-loved of Hollywood romantic comedies. Re-released in cinemas UK-wide on 13 February, just in time for Valentine’s Day, The Philadelphia Story will also be the centrepiece of a major Katharine Hepburn season at BFI Southbank (1 February – 19 March 2015). Katharine Hepburn plays Tracy Lord, a breezy socialite whose imminent wedding to a dull, self-made millionaire brings her charmingly impudent ex-husband C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) back into her life. He arrives at the family mansion accompanied by Macaulay Connor (James Stewart) and Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Imbrie (Ruth Hussey), journalists at the scandal-sheet 'Spy Magazine'. Posing as friends of Tracy’s absent brother, they hope to nab a scoop on the private lives of this notoriously publicity-shy family. Playful yet insightful, The Philadelphia Story’s witty banter delivers cutting truths about romance, marriage and forgiveness while allowing its brilliant cast to tease comedy out of class conflict and shattered illusions, and drama out of an innocent, drunken midnight swim. The film is based on a stage play by Philip Barry, the leading role of which was specially written for Katharine Hepburn who starred in the Broadway production. It was during her Broadway stint that Hepburn wisely acquired the movie rights which she sold to MGM in a deal that guaranteed her the role of Tracy Lord and the choice of director and co-stars.

  • Ann Harding ~ 22 Films
    Ann Harding ~ 22 Films Born in Texas in 1902 and forsaking commerce for the theatre in 1921, by 1929 Ann Harding was an established Broadway lead. In that year she signed with Pathé (soon part of RKO) and through the mid-'30s starred in a series of soap operas, most typically as suffering heroines forced to make noble sacrifices for the men they love. With her ash-blonde hair usually swept back into a bun, classical makeup-free good looks and deep, beautifully modulated voice, the patrician Harding brought a gentle, serene strength to such worthy star vehicles as When Ladies Meet (1933) and The Life Of Vergie Winters (1934) but fared less well in more faltering efforts such as Devotion (1931) and Enchanted April (1935). Ideal for the philosophical sophistication of playwright Phillip Barry, Harding shone in fine adaptations of two of his most successful comedy- drama talkfests: Holiday (1930), for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination and The Animal Kingdom (1932). She made two of her strongest films late in her reign as a star: the haunting almost surreal love story Peter Ibbetson (1935, opposite Gary Cooper) and the taut suspense melodrama Love From A Stranger (1937, with Basil Rathbone). She continued to appear on film, stage and television until 1965 and died in 1981, aged 79. With her favourite leading man, Leslie Howard Moira Finnie talks to Ann Harding biographer Scott O'Brien "Looking at Harding," wrote film historian Mick LaSalle in his book Complicated Women "is like looking into clear, deep water. Nothing stands in the way.
