Besøg hendes Karl Danes specielle udseende, der hjemmeside på: WWW.KARL-DANE.COM gjorde ham i stand til at spille både falde på halen-komiker og udspekuleret skurk, var en af årsagerne til hans succes lim fra ‘Big Parade’ død i fattigdom,” “Fra rigdom til pjalter,” S “Skuespiller, som engang tjente $1500 om ugen, reddet fra de fattiges grav.” Det var nogle af de overskrifter, der duk- kede op i de amerikanske aviser i april 1934, efter den danskfødte stumfilmstjerne Karl Dane’s selvmord. Men i dag på den engang så feterede stjernes 120 års fødselsdag er navnet Karl Dane næsten ukendt i hans fø- deland. Og i USA er han stort set kun kendt blandt stumfilmsfanatikere og inkarnerede læsere af Hollywoods skandalebøger. Fortællingen om Karl Danes op- og ned- tur er ellers uden sidestykke I filmhistorien. I 1925 skød han direkte mod stjernerne, da han dukkede op i topinstruktøren King Karl Dane endte sine dage i hans ydmyge hjem i dette lejlighedskompleks på South Burnside Avenue Vidor’s klassiker ’The Big Parade’ som mak- ker til filmens stjerne John Gilbert. Men blot Karl var en høj mand (1,92 m), og selvom Efter godt et år i USA besluttede Karl at ni år senere, da hans tykke, danske accent han kunne virke lidt ranglet, var han stadig supplere sin sparsomme indtægt som statist havde gjort ham ubrugelig for Hollywood, både muskuløs og atletisk.

  • “What's Wrong with the Way I Talk?” the Effect of Sound Motion Pictures
    “What’s Wrong with the Way I Talk?” The Effect of Sound Motion Pictures on Actor Careers F. Andrew Hanssen John E. Walker Department of Economics Clemson University Clemson, SC 29634 phone: (864) 656-5474 e-mail: [email protected] April 11, 2019 ABSTRACT: Economists have long debated the effect of technological innovation on employment. The development of sound motion pictures in the late 1920s provides one of history’s most evocative examples – film historians have long believed that the transition to sound cut short the careers of a number of silent film stars. However, whether this was due to the new technology itself (actor careers are unpredictable at the best of times), and if so, whether more than a small number of famous stars were affected, has not been explored systematically. In this paper, I analyze a data set of nearly 10,000 actors who played in motion pictures from 1920 through 1940, inclusive. I find that the transition period is associated with a substantial increase in career terminations, not only among major stars, but also among more minor actors. However, I also find that sound films raised hazard rates generally, so that whereas the silent era is associated with a hazard rate that is 30-to-50 percent lower than that of the transition period, the sound era it is associated with only a 10 percent lower hazard rate. Finally, I calculate that the total number of actors cast in feature films rose substantially in the sound era (partly reflecting increased demand spurred by the innovation), illustrating the potentially heterogeneous effects of innovation on employment.

Hindi with EST. 12A This romantic comedy-drama follows the misadventures of a family, their friends and a dog as they embark on a cruise to celebrate a 30th wedding anniversary. Yet it’s not long before suppressed emotions, resentments and insecurities emerge and threaten to upset the holiday. The film itself is a family affair too: the director and producer are brother and sister and both children of lyricist Javed Akhtar.
