The Dehavilland Law Screenplay.Pdf FADE IN: A 1938 NEWSREEL ON SCREEN. Video news segments follow. A graphic appears on screen: SPOTLIGHT on HOLLYWOOD! ANNOUNCER (V.O.) The Movie Event of the Century! Gone With the Wind. Based on the book: movie mogul David O. Selsnick buys the rights before the book was even published. O’SELSNICK It’s going to be a spectacle! ANNOUNCER They are shooting in technicolor. Victor Flemming to direct. And legendary Max Steiner to score. A pause. Another Graphic Appears: SEARCH for SCARLET! ANNOUNCER (CONT’D) Debutantes from all over the south flock to Hollywood to audition for the lead role in Gone With The Wind. SELSNICK “This is no publicity stunt.” ANNOUNCER But do any of these Southern Belles stand a chance against Lucille Ball and Betty Davis? EXT. STUDIO LOT, DAY. Girls are lined up around the outside film stage for a chance to audition. The lineup includes a variety of amateurs. The camera follows George Cukor on his way to work. The girls perk up at the sight of him. 39 GIRL #1 Good morning! Cukor walks past dismissively. CUKOR Fine, yes. He passes another girl dressed in a Southern pageant dress. Who curtsies and says in a thick southern twang... GIRL #2 How do you do Mr. George? CUKOR Fine, yes. Cukor’s assistant opens the stage door for him. GIRL #3 (O.S.) Mr. Cukor! She rushes after him. Cukor hustles to the privacy into the stage and the heavy stage door closes behind him. Cukor looks at his assistant and frowns. CUKOR (exasperated) Let’s get this over with. INT. AUDITION STUDIO Cukor sits dejectedly. His assistant makes notes. Bad auditions performed in front of him. Finally Cukor has had enough. ASSISTANT Ok, we will continue after lunch. The door is closed. The stage is now empty. Cukor and his assistant sit at the table. ASSISTANT (CONT’D) Katherine Hepburn went to see O. Selsnick last night. CUKOR Oh really? 40 ASSISTANT Demanded more like... She walked in and said: “I am Scarlet O’Harra, I was practically born for the part.” CUKOR What a brat. What did he say? ASSISTANT "I can't imagine Rhett Butler chasing you for twelve years." Cuckor laughs. ASSISTANT (CONT’D) Every actress in the world wants to be Scarlet O’Hara. CUKOR Yes. We are wasting our time. ASSISTANT Then who will be left to play Scarlet's cousin Melanie? CUKOR Great part. CUT TO: INT. DE HAVILLAND RESIDENCE Olivia De Havilland, 21, answers the phone, as if she has just emerged from a bath after a long day of work. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Hello? CUKOR You don’t know me, we’ve never met... but I’m George Cukor. I’ve been supervising preparations for Gone With the Wind. De Havilland can’t contain her excitement. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Yes, I want to play Melanie! CUKOR You want to play Melanie? 41 OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND I want to play Melanie. CUKOR Then would you consent to doing something highly illegal? OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND What would that be? CUKOR You are on contract with Warner Brothers. We have absolutely no right to ask you, but you would come secretly to the studio? A beat. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Yes. CUKOR See you in hour. Tell no one. Especially not your boss. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Jack Warner will never know. Cukor hangs up and Olivia is left alone on the line to realize the opportunity that just presented itself. She dances around the room for joy. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND (V.O.) This was the beginning of my life of crime. Hollywood crime, which my mother would still disapprove. INT. AUDITION STUDIO CUKOR Thank you Olivia. ASSISTANT You sure you don’t want to play Scarlet? A beat. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Melanie is the true heroine of the novel: most interesting of the two characters... to me that is... (MORE) 42 OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND (CONT'D) her feminine qualities had to be kept alive... Cukor looks at his assistant speechless. CUKOR I need to call David. He walks off. The Assistant silently gives Olivia the thumbs up. CUT TO: INT. LAWYERS OFFICE Olivia de Havilland sits with her agents, Phil Berg and Bert Allenberg (Phil’s the cream to Bert’s coffee) and her attorney, Martin Gang Esq., preparing for a deposition. MARTIN GANG So... David O. Selsnick calls Jack Warner, head of production at Warner Brothers, who lets you play the part. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Not quite: Jack told him no. A beat. The Martin Gang is confused. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND (CONT’D) Then I asked Jack Warner myself. BERT ALLENBERG More like begged. PHIL BERG Begged sounds better to a jury. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND I begged Jack. BERT ALLENBERG Mr. Warner. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND I begged Mr. Warner. MARTIN GANG And then he let you have the part? 43 OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Not quite. I called his wife, and asked for tea at the Brown Derby. I explained to her what the part meant to me. PHIL BERG Clever girl. INT. THE BROWN DERBY, 1939. Olivia walks up to Ann Warner, who sits alone at a booth. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Hello Ann. Sometimes I forget that this is basically your restaurant, I can never get this table. Ann laughs as she stands up to embrace her. ANN WARNER Olivia, dear, so good to see you. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Ann, I need your help. ANN WARNER Uh, oh: if it is about my husband... OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND I would never ask, but its Gone With the Wind. ANN WARNER For Scarlet? I thought Bette wanted that part. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND For Melanie. It is like asking me to give away the winning lotto ticket. It is the chance of a lifetime. ANN WARNER And he won’t loan you out? OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND (with aplomb) David asked, I asked... would you, please, tell him what it means to me... I’m begging you. 44 The waiter arrives with drinks. INT. JACK WARNER’S OFFICE Ann and Jack argue. ANN WARNER “Can you possibly think of anyone else in that role, Jack? And think of the prestige for Warner’s. After all, you discovered her and made her into a star.” JACK WARNER Honey, if I give her this. She is going be hard to handle. She might turn into another Bette Davis. ANN WARNER And would that be so bad? You and your brother Henry would make so much money. CUT TO: INT. LAWYERS OFFICE MARTIN GANG And then you got the part. BERT ALLENBERG Jack eventually agreed when Selznick gave him a one picture deal with your boyfriend Jimmy Stuart and traded him over to Warner Brothers for a one picture deal. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND It was a loan out: and at the time, Jimmy was just a friend. MARTIN GANG So you were “traded” for Jimmy Stewart... BERT ALLENBERG (interrupting) Like chattel property: bought and sold like a slave. 45 MARTIN GANG How much were you paid? OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND $1000 per week. MARTIN GANG That’s 58% of what the average American made that year. BERT ALLENBERG Really? Will that be a problem? PHIL BERG She is going to look like one very expensive slave. OLIVA I don’t suppose we are planning a rendition of Aida. MARTIN GANG It will be to cast you traditional “labor”. Especially in the press. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND I see. BERT ALLENBERG Warner Brothers will cast you as the spoiled brat. Oliva scowls. MARTIN GANG Are you married? OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND No. Is that relevant? MARTIN GANG If you were the “breadwinner” in your household, if you had dependants, it would. BERT ALLENBERG She is a modern independent woman. PHIL BERG The studio has been trying to Olivia up with every eligible bachelor they could find on the lot. 46 BERT ALLENBERG Even Errol Flynn. Martin Gang shows no reaction. MARTIN GANG Warner Brothers has already denied your contractual demands. BERT ALLENBERG Which were very reasonable: a modest pay raise and the right to do one picture outside the studio every year. PHIL BERG Don’t forget the vacation time. Proving that Warner Brothers exploited you, and would continue you to do so should be easy. MARTIN GANG Convincing a jury, the public, and your peers that this fight was necessary will be near impossible... why don’t you just go back to work? Olivia stands up to leave. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Well, thank you for your time. MARTIN GANG Where are you going? OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND You don’t want my case. MARTIN GANG I am sorry if I gave you that impression. When I asked you why not go back, my question really is: do you want to jeopardize your career, everything you have earned thus far, and your relationships with everyone in this town? BERT ALLENBERG The studios will wage a vicious public relations battle. You will be ridiculed. Your every action will be brought into question for the public to judge you... 47 PHIL BERG Olivia was born for that. MARTIN GANG This might be the most important role you ever play. But I need to know that you are all in: because there cannot be any doubt... OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND Where do we start? RALPH E. LEWIS Tell me about your contract. INT. DRESSING-ROOM, HOLLYWOOD BOWL. 1935: Alone in the ensemble dressing room. Olivia is putting stage make up on her face. MAX REINHARDT (O.S.) Olivia! Olivia looks at the clock on the desk.

  • See It Big! Action Features More Than 30 Action Movie Favorites on the Big
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

  • Withering Heights
    Withering Heights When one mentions the Presbyterian Church, the name that first comes to mind is that of the Scottish Calvinist clergyman John Knox. This dynamic religious leader of the Protestant Reformation founded the Presbyterian denomination and was at the beginning of his ministry in Edinburgh when he lost his beloved wife Marjorie Bowes. In 1564 he married again, but the marriage received a great deal of attention. This was because she was remotely connected with the royal family, and Knox was almost three times the age of this young lady of only seventeen years. She was Margaret Stewart, daughter of Andrew Stewart, 2nd Lord of Ochiltree. She bore Knox three daughters, of whom Elizabeth became the wife of John Welsh, the famous minister of Ayr. Their daughter Lucy married another clergyman, the Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon. Their descendant, John Knox Witherspoon (son of another Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon), signed the Declaration of Independence on behalf of New Jersey and (in keeping with family tradition) was also a minister, in fact the only minister to sign the historic document. John Knox Witherspoon (1723 – 1794), clergyman, Princeton’s sixth president and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Just like Declaration of Independence signatory John Witherspoon, actress Reese Witherspoon is also descended from Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon and his wife Lucy (and therefore John Knox). The future Academy Award winner, born Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, was born in New Orleans, having made her début appearance at Southern Baptist Hospital on March 22, 1976. New Orleans born Academy Award winning actress, Reese Witherspoon Reese did not get to play Emily Brontë’s Cathy in “Wuthering Heights” but she did portray Becky Sharp in Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair”.

Swing: From Time to Torque (Dance Floor Democracy at the Hollywood Canteen) by Sherrie Tucker 2013 This is the published version of the article, made available with the permission of the publisher. The original published version can be found at the link below. Sherrie Tucker. (2013). “Swing: From Time to Torque (Dance Floor Democracy at the Hollywood Canteen.” Daedalus: Journal of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences 142(4):82-97.

Swing: From Time to Torque (Dance Floor Democracy at the Hollywood Canteen) Sherrie Tucker Abstract: The Hollywood Canteen (1942–1945) was the most famous of the USO and USO-like patriotic nightclubs where civilian hostesses jitterbugged with enlisted men of the Allied Nations during World War II. It is also the subject of much U.S. national nostalgia about the “Good War” and “Greatest Gen- eration.” Drawing from oral histories with civilian volunteers and military guests who danced at the Hol- lywood Canteen, this article focuses on the ways that interviewees navigated the forceful narrative terrain of national nostalgia, sometimes supporting it, sometimes pulling away from or pushing it in critical ways, and usually a little of each. This article posits a new interpretative method for analyzing struggles over “democracy” for jazz and swing studies through a focus on “torque” that brings together oral history, improvisation studies, and dance studies to bear on engaging interviewees’ embodied narratives on ideo - logically loaded ground, improvising on the past in the present.

  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.
