Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

  • March 28, 2001 (III:10) Notable Recent Job Has Been Playing Tony Soprano’S Psychiatrist’S Psychiatrist
    PETER BOGDANOVICH (30 July 1939, Kingston, New York, USA ) most March 28, 2001 (III:10) notable recent job has been playing Tony Soprano’s psychiatrist’s psychiatrist. “Many French cineasts and film critics went on to become major filmmakers, but in America only one such scholar made that transition: Peter Bogdanovich. This lifelong film buff wrote dozens of articles, books, and program notes about Hollywood before settling there in the mid 1960s. He fell in with producer Roger Corman, becoming a jack-of-all-trades on The Wild Angels (1966) and reworking a Russian sci-fi epic into Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1967). Bogd anov ich's first real film was the suspenseful Targets (1968), which he directed, produced, and cowrote with then-wife Polly Platt. After making a documentary, Directed by John Ford (1971), he directed the melancholy Larry McMurtry story The Last Picture Show (1971), which becam e a major critical and commercial hit…. “Celebrated as Hollywood's latest wunderkind, he made two more big hits: the screwball farce What's U p, Doc? (1972) and another period piece, Paper Moon (1973), which brought an Oscar to debuting Tatum O'Neal. Both films were very much dependent on references to earlier films and directors, but there was no denying his superb craftsmanship and assu red handling of actors. Bu t it was perceived that his relationship with Cybill Shepherd led to his undoing. Two Shepherd vehicles-Daisy Miller (1974) and At Long Last Love (1975)-were major stiffs, and the well-intentioned Nickelodeon (1976) was pronounced D.O.A.

The insistence that all facilitators have doctorates in the humanities is, on the other hand, a requirement that the National Endowment for the Humanities builds into all its educational program grants. Some of you have had to ask for exceptions to this requirement, and in all instances, we have approved these exceptions because you have come up with people who are both experienced teachers and also have a special interest in film, literature, and/or aging. In short, we are fully confident that you will all do an excellent job introducing your students to this new, timely, entertaining and yet extremely important subject, one that promises to have a direct personal impact on its participants.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
