  • Millie. Off-Broadway, She Starred in a Coupla' White Chicks Sittin Around
    ‘OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS’ CAST BIOS DIXIE CARTER (Evie Baer) – Emmy ®-nominated actress Dixie Carter is one of America’s most beloved entertainers. A proud daughter of Tennessee, Carter has arguably created some of the most memorable strong Southern female characters in television history. Her celebrated portrayal of the daring design darling Julia Sugarbaker on the long-running hit series “Designing Women” made her instantly recognizable. The series also allowed the producers to showcase her formidable vocal talents, a gift she continues to share with her fans through sold-out concerts across the country. Carter has starred in no less than six television series, most recently as attorney Randi King on CBS’s “Family Law.” She is also a frequent guest-star on television’s most popular shows. In 2007, Carter received an Emmy ® Award nomination for her guest-starring role as Gloria Hodge on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.” Carter is no stranger to the Great White Way, first gracing the Broadway stage in Sextet in 1974, followed by Pal Joey in 1976. More recent Broadway turns include her triumphant Maria Callas in Terrence McNally’s Master Class , for which she earned stellar reviews and consistently garnered standing ovations. Carter returned to Broadway to smashing success in 2004 as corrupt, funny landlady Mrs. Meers in the Tony Award-winning musical Thoroughly Modern Millie . Off-Broadway, she starred in A Coupla’ White Chicks Sittin Around Talkin’ and at the New York Public Theatre in Taken in Marriage, Fathers and Sons (Drama Desk Award) and Jesse and the Bandit Queen , for which she won a Theatre World Award.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. 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.

  • Hal Holbrook
    HAL HOLBROOK Hal Holbrook was born in Cleveland in 1925, but raised mostly in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. His people had settled there in 1635 and were, according to his grandfather, “some kind of criminals from England.” His mother disappeared when he was two, his father followed suit, so young Holbrook and his two sisters were raised by their grandfather. It was only later he found out that his mother had gone into show business. Holbrook, being the only boy, was the “white hope of the family.” Sent away at the age of 7 to one of the finer New England schools, he was beaten regularly by a Dickensian headmaster who, when forced to retire, committed suicide. But when he was 12 he was sent to Culver Military Academy, where he discovered acting as an escape from his disenchantment with authority. While not the model cadet, he believes the discipline he learned at Culver saved his life. In the summer of 1942 he got his first paid professional engagement playing the son in The Man Who Came To Dinner at the Cain Park Theatre in Cleveland at $15.00 per week. That fall, he entered Denison University in Ohio, majoring in Theatre under the tutelage of his lifelong mentor, Edward A. Wright. World War II pulled him out of there and put him into the Army Engineers for three years. The Mark Twain characterization grew out of an honors project at Denison University after the War. Holbrook and his first wife, Ruby, had constructed a two-person show, playing characters from Shakespeare to Twain.
