  • WORST COOKS in AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios
    Press Contact: Lauren Sklar Phone: 646-336-3745; Email: [email protected] WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios MINDY COHN Mindy Cohn made her acting debut as the witty, precious Eastland Academy student Natalie Green in the hit comedy series The Facts of Life. She was discovered while attending Westlake School for Girls in Bel Air, California, when actress Charlotte Rae and producer Norman Lear came to the school to authenticate scripts for their new show. Ms. Rae was so taken with the vivacious eighth grader she convinced producers to create a role for her. Mindy remained on the show for all nine seasons, also traveling to Paris and Australia with her co-stars to produce two successful television movies based on the series. Concurrently, with her role in Facts, Mindy played “Rose Jenko” in Fox’s 21 Jump Street. Other notable television appearances included Diff’rent Strokes, Double Trouble, Charles in Charge, Dream On and Suddenly Susan. In 1983, Mindy appeared in her first professional stage performance in Table Settings, written and directed by James Lapine and filmed for HBO Television. The illustrious cast included Eileen Heckart, Stockard Channing, Robert Klein, Peter Riegart, and Dinah Manoff. She went on to make her feature film debut in The Boy Who Could Fly, which co-starred Colleen Dewhurst, Fred Gwynne and Fred Savage. Mindy took a hiatus from her career to attend university, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters in Education. During this time, she studied improvisation and scene work with Gary Austin and Larry Moss.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

  • Race on the Road: from the Periphery to the Centre in Jonathan Kaplan's Love Field
    RACE ON THE ROAD: FROM THE PERIPHERY TO THE CENTRE IN JONATHAN KAPLAN’S LOVE FIELD Carmen Indurain Eraso Universidad Pública de Navarra Following a general cinematic trend, the road movie genre in its beginnings relegated the representation of non-whites to the periphery. After analysing the general state of affairs of racial representation in the genre, we witness in the 1990s a timid but remarkable trend to produce “racial” road movies which vindicate the rights of central representation of racial minorities. This paper analyses a representative racial road film, Jonathan Kaplan’s Love Field (1992), in an attempt to show that the road movie’s generic conventions and traditional liberal pedigree may provide a context where the depiction of racial minorities and race relations may finally reach a central status. In the road movie we have an ideogram of human desire and the last ditch search for self, and who is more plagued for hunger and lostness than the socially disenfranchised? (Atkinson 1994:14). 1. RACE ON THE ROAD: A PERIPHERAL PRESENCE While it reminds us of the inner search, a basic trait of the road movie genre, this quotation by Michael Atkinson also makes the significant point that the socially marginalised are liable to experience an even greater need for this personal quest. As members of this underprivileged group together with women, non-whites can feel more intensely the “call to adventure”, to flee from an emotionally retarded society which has failed to integrate them satisfactorily. Thus, given their unfavourable condition in society which has traditionally allotted them a peripheral position as mere accessories to the white male, African Americans, Hispanics or Native ES 27 (2006-7): 75-94 76 CARMEN INDURAIN ERASO American Indians have started to find a central space of cinematic representation in the road genre.
