  • Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess

    Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess

    PRESS RELEASE: June 2011 11/5 Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess BFI Southbank Salutes the Hollywood Legend On 23 March 2011 Hollywood – and the world – lost a living legend when Dame Elizabeth Taylor died. As a tribute to her BFI Southbank presents a season of some of her finest films, this August, including Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Throughout her career she won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a further three, and, beauty aside, was known for her humanitarian work and fearless social activism. Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on 27 February 1932 to affluent American parents, and moved to the US just months before the outbreak of WWII. Retired stage actress Sara Southern doggedly promoted her daughter’s career as a child star, culminating in the hit National Velvet (1944), when she was just 12, and was instrumental in the reluctant teenager’s successful transition to adult roles. Her first big success in an adult role came with Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride (1950), before her burgeoning sexuality was recognised and she was cast as a wealthy young seductress in A Place in the Sun (1951) – her first on-screen partnership with Montgomery Clift (a friend to whom Taylor remained fiercely loyal until Clift’s death in 1966). Together they were hailed as the most beautiful movie couple in Hollywood history. The oil-epic Giant (1956) came next, followed by Raintree County (1958), which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination and saw Taylor reunited with Clift, though it was during the filming that he was in the infamous car crash that would leave him physically and mentally scarred.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

Henrik Ibsen, with the exception of Shakespeare, is the most frequently produced playwright in the world. He is also universally known as "The Father of Modern Drama" and "The Father of Realistic Drama." For over a century and a half, Ibsen's plays have been renowned for displaying a fierce revolt by the individual against an oppressive middle-class society. Specifically, A Doll's House has been a trailblazer for women's liberation and feminist causes around the world. Portrait of Henrik Ibsen. Photograph by Gustav Borgen .

  • And the Oscar Goes To

    And the Oscar Goes To

    SOCIETY & CULTURE Oscar de la Renta with Spanish socialite and exhibits former fashion model Naty Abascal in the 1960s. AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... As the Museum of Fine Arts pays tribute to prolific fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, local style icons look back on his impact on both their lives and the world. By Michele Meyer The first major fashion exhibit at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston began with one phone call, when philanthropist Lynn Wyatt rang up Museum Director Gary Tinterow. Having seen a tribute to the late, great Oscar de la Renta at San Francisco’s de Young museum, Wyatt believed Houston should stage its own showcase of the dapper designer. After all, he’d often visited our city and had clad not only Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey and every first lady of the United States—from Nancy Reagan to Michelle Obama— but also many local fashionistas, Wyatt among them. Needless to say, Tinterow agreed. Rest assured that the resulting exhibit, The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta—on view through Jan. 28—is no knock-off. Not only did de la Renta’s heirs and French label Pierre Balmain share corporate and personal archives, but some of Houston’s best-dressed denizens opened their own closets to the MFA. Each section features gorgeous garb loaned by Wyatt; former Mayor Bob Lanier’s wife, Elyse Lanier; fine arts patron Rosanette Cullen; anesthesiologist Yvonne Cormier; and former first lady Laura Bush. “He told me he had a special affection for the women of Houston because they had style and wore their clothes beautifully,” Cormier says.
