Pleas from droves of Lester’s supporters — including Leon Panetta, the CEO of the Pebble Beach Company and numerous public officials — were not enough to stop the commission from terminating Lester’s employment after less than five years on the job. At the coastal commission meeting in Morro Bay, Lester issued a brief statement following the announcement of the closed session vote, saying he had “worked hard” and “accom- plished a lot,” and that it had been a privilege to serve the agency. He also credited all of those who supported him. PHOTOS/KERRY BELSER “So if there is any silver lining, I am so energized for all the people that came together for this,” Lester said after 9 p.m. just Sure, it rains some years, but the truth is that the AT&T before the meeting wrapped up. “This was a spontaneous Pebble Beach Pro-Am usually has good weather, and this expression of commitment to the coast of California, and we year was no exception for the preliminary events and even the first round of competition.

    Butsch, Richard. « A Half Century of Class and Gender in American TV Domestic Sitcoms », Cercles 8 (2003) : 16-34 <www.cercles.com>. ©Cercles 2003. Toute reproduction, même partielle, par quelque procédé que ce soit, est interdite sans autorisation préalable (loi du 11 mars 1957, al. 1 de l’art. 40). ISSN : 1292-8968. Richard Butsch Rider University, Lawrenceville A HALF CENTURY OF CLASS AND GENDER in American TV Domestic Sitcoms Over a half-century of television, domestic situation comedies have reinforced images of the middle class as better than the working class. Similar inequalities have been portrayed for men versus women, black versus white, old versus young, and for other status hierarchies. Already embedded in the larger culture, these stereotypes are used to signify character types that advance dramatic goals. Nevertheless, the pervasiveness of network tele- vision and the persistence over five decades have contributed immeasurably to reproducing these same stereotypes. Women, for example, have been cast as main characters only where the subjects of romance or family are salient; they have been absent from rational discussions in scripts [Gerbner, 1972]. Women’s presence thus signals certain themes. Similarly, traits culturally associated with a lower status, applied to a person of higher status devalues that person. Men are devalued by characte- rizing them as feminine. Such status inversion can then effectively confirm other lower statuses held by the person. Female, black and lower-class adults have been devalued by characterizing them as child-like. Child-like attribu- tions undercut their adult status, confirming their lower status as female, black or lower-class.

  • Dan Duryea Page 1 Of6
    Dan Duryea Page 1 of6 Dan Duryea - Charming Villain By Frank Dolven Dan Duryea was typecast by his own skill. He was almost too good at creating disturbing portraits of pathological villains, especially in film noir roles. In real life, he was an old-fashioned family man, the opposite of his screen persona. He was born in White Plains, New York, on January 23, 1907, and was educated at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In the 1930s he worked in advertising before finding his true calling. He made his acting debut on Broadway in Sidney Kingsley's Dead End . He won critical acclaim for his role as the weakling "Leo Hubbard" in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes on Broadway in 1939. Hollywood scouts took notice of his remarkable performance. Soon he was playing "Leo" in William Wyler's film version of the play. With his slicked-back blonde hair and malicious smile, he became the premier louse of the movies. He developed a repertoire of understated body language with a shrug of the shoulders, a slight raising of the eyebrow, a twitch of the mouth, and a subtle "take-it-or- leave-it-or-go-to-hell" movement of the hand. Duryea became a master, playing to the camera, "as he wielded his reedy, high voice like an irritating, cutting scimitar," one critic wrote. He left many gems among performances in over 70 films spanning 47 years. Film buffs especially remember him for his odious treatment of women. In an interview with Hedda Hopper in the early '50s, Duryea gave a very interesting answer when Miss Hopper asked how he prepared for roles.

  • William Schuyler, Pioneer of California TV, Has Died Instrumental in Launching Oakland's KTVU and Monterey's KMST
    9/5/2016 NATAS / "Off Camera" / March 2014 tapped as the original host of A.M. San Francisco on KGO-TV. Lange is survived by his wife, Nancy; sons Gavin and Nicolas; stepdaughter Ingrid; stepson Steig; sister Midge; and four grandchildren. William Schuyler, Pioneer of California TV, Has Died Instrumental In Launching Oakland's KTVU and Monterey's KMST By Kevin Wing Chapter Vice President, San Francisco William 'Bill" Schuyler, a Northern California native who, in the early years of television on the West Coast, rose to prominence as a broadcasting entrepreneur when he became one of TV's founding fathers in the San Francisco and Monterey bay areas, has died. Schuyler died Dec. 10. For his pioneering contributions to the northern California television industry, Schuyler was among the inaugural inductees, in 1986, of the distinguished Silver Circle of the San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He also received a Lifetime Achievment Award for his career accomplishments. He was born in 1922 and grew up in northern California, eventually moving to southern California as a teenager. During World War II, he was stationed in Japan. After the war he worked for RKO Radio in Los Angeles where he became very interested in a new industry in its infancy, television. Shortly after his marriage to actress Kristine Miller, they moved to Santa Barbara where Schuyler was consultant and sales manager for KEYT. In 1957, the couple relocated to the Bay Area, where Schuyler was part of the team that built KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland.

Through the years of researching and writing, they gave me feedback, guidance, and above all, encouragement. In particular, I thank Kevin, who, as my initial graduate adviser, helped shepherd me through life as a doctoral candidate. I also acknowledge the very helpful feedback provided by my peers in the dissertation writing group led by Kevin Murphy and Regina Kunzel during the 2011- 2013 academic years. Their varied suggestions, praise, and criticism were especially helpful during the formative years of turning years of research into a workable thesis. My fellow graduate students within the American Studies program were unfailing in their personal and professional support. My colleagues at the University of Minnesota-Morris, particularly within the history discipline, were extremely supportive to me during my final two years working on this project. They provided time and funding to assist my research and the presentation of my work. I am particularly thankful for their cheerful willingness to support a colleague during a year of teaching and writing. Finally, I thank my family, friends, and church family, who provided years of love and support while I finished this project.
