RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 7, 2012 PRESS CONTACT: James Ford 972-865-2239, Ext RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 7, 2012 PRESS CONTACT: James Ford 972-865-2239, Ext. 6 [email protected] ACTRESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST MEREDITH BAXTER TO KEYNOTE SOLD-OUT 31ST ANNUAL BLACK TIE DINNER DALLAS — (September 7, 2012) — Meredith Baxter, acclaimed actress, producer and advocate for women’s and human rights and breast cancer research, will keynote the 31st annual Black Tie Dinner, co- chairs of the event announced today. The sold-out event is the largest one-night GLBT black-tie fundraiser in the nation. This year’s dinner will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel. Baxter recently came out as a lesbian on national television during an interview with Matt Lauer on The Today Show and in an interview in People Magazine. She also signed a deal with Broadway Books to write a candid and revealing memoir of her eventful personal and professional life. “Meredith Baxter is a champion of women’s rights and devotes much of her time speaking out on issues about which she is passionate,” said Black Tie Dinner Co-Chair Chris Kouvelis. “Her life experiences reflect our theme for this year’s dinner: ‘Affair of the Heart.’ Every cause that Meredith involves herself with is an affair of her heart in every way.” Noted for her accessible portrayals of intelligent, independent women who struggle with the challenges before them, Baxter achieved early success with a string of television hits, including the CBS situation comedy Bridget Loves Bernie; the critically acclaimed ABC drama Family, for which she received an Emmy nomination; and, most notably, the long-running and perennially popular NBC sitcom Family Ties, in which she starred in the role of Elyse Keaton. Following Family Ties, Baxter made a seamless transition to drama, quickly establishing herself as one of the most sought-after actors for television movies. In 1991, she received an Emmy nomination for her performance as the lead character in A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story. In 1994, she garnered a Daytime Emmy nomination for her role as a lesbian mother raising a young son in the CBS After School Special, Other Mothers. She also received a special award for public awareness from the National Breast Cancer Coalition for her work on the television film, My Breast (1994), a black comedy about the true story of journalist Joyce Wadler’s successful battle with breast cancer. —MORE— B L A C K T I E D I N N E R , I N C . 4015 Lemmon Ave., Ste. 4001 PMB #321 Dallas, TX 75219-3737 972-733-9200 WWW.BLACKTIE.ORG MEREDITH BAXTER TO KEYNOTE BLACK TIE DINNER | Page 2 “In many respects, Meredith Baxter is America’s favorite mom,” said Black Tie Dinner Co-Chair Mitzi Lemons. “When she decided to come out in a very public way, she paved the way for so many people to follow in her footsteps. In Meredith, they see a friendly, accessible and non-threatening person who has made the decision to come out, and perhaps that removes some of the fear and stigma from their own coming-out process.” Baxter developed a line of skin care products over 10 years ago and donates a portion of the profits from sales to the Meredith Baxter Fund for Breast Cancer Research, which promotes prevention and research as well as free mammograms for low-income women. In her book, Untied, Baxter presents a fully realized portrait of her life as an actress, mother of five children and grandmother, and candidly discusses her fight with breast cancer, her 19 years of sobriety, entrepreneurship and her decision to come out. Caroline Rhea, beloved comedian and star of stage and screen, will serve as master of ceremonies at this year’s Dinner. Chaz Bono will receive the Elizabeth Birch Equality Award, an award given to an individual, organization or company that has made a significant contribution of national scope to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Architect, volunteer and humanitarian Lucilo Peña will receive the Kuchling Humanitarian Award, presented to individuals who have made extraordinary gifts of their time and talents on behalf of the GLBT community. Plano-based JCPenney will receive the Black Tie Dinner Media Award, given in recognition of positive, increased awareness of GLBT issues in the media. Although this year’s Black Tie Dinner is officially sold out, anyone interested in tickets that may become available should contact Dan Godfrey at [email protected]. —MORE— B L A C K T I E D I N N E R , I N C . 4015 Lemmon Ave., Ste. 4001 PMB #321 Dallas, TX 75219-3737 972-733-9200 WWW.BLACKTIE.ORG MEREDITH BAXTER TO KEYNOTE BLACK TIE DINNER | Page 3 About Black Tie Dinner Black Tie Dinner Inc. is a nonprofit organization that raises funds for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender supportive organizations through a premier event of empowerment, education and entertainment in partnership with the community.

  • What People Say About Chiropractic
    What people say about Chiropractic "I am very fortunate to have, so-to-speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. So, I visit Franco regularly, and he comes over to my house. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries he's always there for me, and helps me. So it's really terrific, and I know that first hand. That's why I always will be traveling around, all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers, and that's why it's really great to have you here, part of the Arnold Classic. Because, like I said, the Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend are about health and about fitness and preventive care." Arnold Schwarzenegger "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal." Dan O'Brien Decathlon Gold Medallist Appearing in films like The Patriot and Braveheart has taken its toll on Mel Gibson. "You get hurt all the time. All you gotta do is just like eight takes of running down a hill and you twist an ankle," the action pic veteran tells TV Guide Online. "I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot] shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina spend a week and work on the entire crew.

The first up is Emmy-winning actor and television icon Ed Asner, starring in “A Man and His Prostate,” a one-man show written by Philadelphia native and nine-time Emmy winner Ed Weinberger. Based on a real experience, the stage comedy is an unflinching and heartwarming examination of Weinberger’s encounter with pain, relief and the retrieval of his manhood when his vacation in Italy takes an unexpected turn after he is rushed to a hospital for prostate-cancer surgery. Faced with an operation he doesn’t want, in a medical system he doesn’t understand, he decides he won’t take any of life’s injustices sitting down. “It’s wonderfully funny,” Asner told PGN about the show, running March 30-April 1. “It’s written beautifully enough and we keep them entertained the whole time. Women are the hardest laughers of all.” Asner said that while the show overflows with humor, it also touches on some less-than-pleasant facts about prostate cancer. “The salient point is, a man dies of prostate cancer in this country every 16 minutes.” Asner has portrayed a wide range of characters, both comedic and dramatic, throughout his long and storied career, ranging from kind-hearted souls to irrepressible scoundrels. Asner said he’s never shied away from taking roles that are the opposite of his personality.

  • Meredith Baxter Turns Painful History Into a Message of Hope for Women
    MEREDITH BAXTER TURNS PAINFUL HISTORY INTO A MESSAGE OF HOPE FOR WOMEN In the Hallmark Channel Original Movie “Bound By a Secret” (Saturday, March 7 at 9/8c ), Meredith Baxter plays Ida, whose best friend, a famous soap actress played by Lesley Ann Warren, returns to their hometown when she discovers that she will soon succumb to cancer. Although Baxter plays the role of loving and supportive friend, she can easily identify with both characters. “I am a breast cancer survivor, and I’ve been speaking around the country about my experiences for about six years now,” she says. “It’s very gratifying to open up to other survivors.” But it wasn’t always so easy for the “Family Ties” actress to speak freely about the affliction. It was a slow process that was helped by, of all things, dry skin. In 1997, she launched Meredith Baxter Simple Works, a line of skin care products created initially to correct her own dry skin problem. But response from family and friends was so great that she decided to take it to the public. She also founded The Meredith Baxter Fund for Breast Cancer Research, which supports vital breast cancer programs throughout the United States. Baxter announced that a portion of all profits from Simple Works would go to the foundation. “I would be at trade shows to present Simple Works and women – some of them still wearing head scarves because of radiation treatment - would see the pink ribbon and want to talk to me,” she explains. “My first reaction was to close down and not want to talk, but I began to open up, slowly.

  • Michael J. Fox's Crusade for a Parkinson's Cure
    Michael J. Fox's Crusade for a Parkinson's Cure How the actor's Parkinson's diagnosis changed his life -- for the better, he says. Michael J. Fox has always been a poster boy. With his youthful good looks and intelligent charm, he rose to fame playing a sassy Republican teenage son of ex-hippie parents in the TV sitcom Family Ties. In the blockbuster Back to the Future film trilogy, he was a time traveler with perfect comedic timing. And in a later sitcom, Spin City, he made us wish all politicians were as personable as his Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty. In 1998, Fox became a poster boy for another reason: He went public with the news he had Parkinson's disease, diagnosed 7 years earlier when he was 30. Parkinson's is marked by: Trembling in the hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face Stiffness of the body Slow movements Impaired balance and coordination. The disease had become unmanageable for the actor, who until then was able to minimize his symptoms thanks to medication, surgery, and good timing. Eventually, the effort became too much. "I needed every bit of those 7 years to say, 'I want to be out there,'" Fox says. "But at a certain point I woke up and said, 'What's the risk? That people will judge you? People are already judging you about whether you wear red shoes or blue shoes. So I talk funny or shake -- why should I restrict myself?'" "You have to take your time and do what you need to do," he says.

  • This Is a Test
    ‘SHADOW ON THE MESA’ CAST BIOS KEVIN SORBO (Ray Eastman) – For seven years, Kevin Sorbo played the hulking, heroic lead in USA Network’s “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” a role that made him a star. But the self-described jock from Minnetonka, Minnesota (the home of Tonka Toys), the fourth of five kids, got the acting bug at age 11 seeing something quite different – the musical Oklahoma and Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice at Minneapolis’s famed Guthrie Theater. Though he made his first commercial - for Target - while attending the University of Minnesota, Sorbo graduated from Moorehead State University in Fargo, North Dakota, with a dual degree in advertising and marketing. In 1982, after college, Sorbo moved to Texas, where he began studying acting in earnest. A model friend there convinced him to travel to Europe, where he stayed for three years, building a tremendous commercial reel, with spots shot in cities from Milan and Munich to Paris and London. Within days of his return to the States in 1985, he shipped off to Australia for new commercial assignments, returning to L.A. six months later. Sorbo remained in demand through the early 90s, for both television and commercial work – he estimates appearing in 57 spots in the three years prior to being cast as Hercules. After appearing in such series as “Murder, She Wrote,” “Cheers” and “The Commish,” and after seven call backs with producer Sam Raimi, Sorbo was given the role of Hercules. The character appeared first in a series of two hour movies as part of USA Network’s “The Action Pack,” alongside William Shatner’s “Tek Wars” and others – Hercules being the sole survivor of the group and landing its own series.
