Now picture your name in flashing lights outside some of the biggest and most well-known theatres in the world as you sell out comedy shows night after night. This is the reality of Natasha’s life and how humble beginnings can lead to an extraordinary endings. (more) 1 The Life and Times of Natasha Leggero From an early age she was never really into comedy. She was a child actor, not a child star, but a thespian. Leggero loved to act and was in many of her high school plays in Rockford, Illinois. As quickly as she graduated she moved even quicker to New York City to go to Hunter College and get her degree in theatre criticism. She began reviewing plays after she graduated but that was not cutting it for her so she moved to Los Angeles. In an interview with Comedy Central, Leggero exclaimed, “I just got onstage one night and I just was really talking about what I thought about Los Angeles. I didn’t really think people would laugh or I didn’t even know what a comedian really was.

  • Celebrating Uncommon Courage
    th Celebrating5 Annual Gala Uncommon Courage Hollywood, CA | March 28, 2018 Hosted by Lauren Ash Mission The California Fire Foundation, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, aids fallen firefighter families, firefighters and the communities they protect. Owned and operated by California Professional Firefighters (California Lou Paulson Professional Firefighters is the largest Chair of California Fire Foundation statewide organization dedicated exclusively President of California Professional Firefighters Over 30 years in the Fire Service to serving the needs of career firefighters), the California Fire Foundation’s mandate includes an array of survivor and victim assistance projects and community initiatives. Note from the Chair As a former career firefighter, I have experienced the shattering loss of comrades on the frontlines, and seen countless tragedies affecting the people and communities of this great state that I love. Not too long ago, we could expect fire season to last a couple of months, however the “new normal” we have come to endure is a year-long fire season. California’s ongoing drought has greatly exacerbated this compound threat to public safety, creating a deadly mix of hotter, more intense and more unpredictable fires. This current state of affairs has severely heightened the risk of life, limb and property of our citizens and our first responders. When tragedy strikes, whether it’s a fallen firefighter’s family at home or the station that are left behind, or the victims of fire and natural disaster that are left in peril, it is my priority, as Chair of the California Fire Foundation, to assist those impacted. We are there at every step, providing aid to our first responders, families of the fallen, and victims of devastating loss.

Together via videoconference, the entertainers will call out the victories and agonizing defeats caused by paint colors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and open concept spaces. The House Hunters: Comedians on Couches celebrity lineup is led by Dan Levy and Natasha Leggero and features their comedian friends Whitney Cummings, Eliot Glazer, John Mulaney, Chris Redd and J.B. Smoove. “House Hunters is a pop culture phenomenon that inspires strong reactions from viewers who like to play along with its familiar house selection process,” said Jane Latman, president, HGTV. “While we may not agree with the house each family chooses or the reasons they select it, we can agree that it’s a good time to lean on talented people who can find the humor in everything and make us laugh out loud—even when it comes to the challenges and triumphs of house hunting.” And, the comedic fun on the couch supports a good cause.

  • MEATS Press Notes.Final Clean
    MEATS Written & Directed by: Ashley Williams Starring: Ashley Williams Giancarlo Sbarbaro Produced by: Neal Dodson Ashley Williams Film Contact: Neal Dodson, producer 818.481.5473 [email protected] Press Contact: Prodigy Public Relations Erik Bright 310.857.2020 [email protected] For HIGHER-RES still photos & more information please visit: www.ashleywilliams.work MEATS SYNOPSIS Director-writer Ashley Williams also stars in MEATS -- a short film about a pregnant vegan who wrestles with her newfound craving for meat. The film is produced by Williams and her husband, Independent Spirit Award winner and Sundance alum Neal Dodson (Margin Call). MEATS is an exploration of the ethics of meat-eating and the fears inherent with becoming a parent. In the short film, Williams plays Lane, who has hired a whole-animal butcher named Chris (played by real-life master butcher Giancarlo Sbarbaro), to educate her on how to responsibly break down a lamb and use every part. Upon arrival, Lane is simultaneously disgusted and mesmerized by the carcass in front of her. As Lane liberates the meat from the bone, she also frees a whole new side of herself, revealing humor, pain, connection, and a newfound mother-to-be. CounterNarrative Films presents MEATS. The cinematographer is Roman Vasyanov (Triple Frontier, Fury, Sundance alum with The East and Charlie Countryman). The editor is Cecilia Delgado. Color is by Roman Hankewycz (Sundance alum with Sound of Silence and Equity, among others) from Harbor Picture Company. Sound design is by three- time Academy-Award nominee Steve Boeddeker (All Is Lost, Black Panther, Sundance alum with I Origins, among others) at Skywalker Sound.

  • First Look Program 2021
    WELCOME to FIRST LOOK 2021 Welcome to the First Look Festival of 2021! One of my great pleasures as Dean of the School of Cinematic Arts is being able to introduce our festival films each year, and congratulate all the deserving students who contributed to them. This year I am especially proud of the determination and dedication inherent in these projects, as they were completed within the limitations of Covid 19 protocols. Despite this, the work you will see here is of the highest quality, and many will go on to tour the film festival circuit and win awards in the year ahead. They will also serve as calling cards for the talented young professionals who are graduating from the School and launching careers as filmmakers. Our students always depend on their family and friends to help them through their programs. Filmmaking is a challenging endeavor, and it takes a village of encouragement to have the confidence needed to bring a project to fruition. This year our students truly needed support, as our campus was shut down and many of them had to return home. Despite not being able to meet in person, the filmmakers found ways to collaborate. And as their films will attest, did so brilliantly! So please enjoy this year’s festival. And congratulations to all the students whose names appear in the end credits of these films. Elizabeth M. Daley Steven J. Ross/Time Warner Professor and Dean USC School of Cinematic Arts I firmly believe that film has been the major art form of the 20th century, and will continue to have a powerful influence on our culture and society.

Endnotes RIZWAN 3 Abstract The female broadcaster provides one of the most stereotypical images of contemporary journalist in popular culture. Often, female journalists are portrayed as vivacious, ruthless, and driven individuals who must compete fiercely to survive in a man’s profession. Robin Scherbatsky (played by Cobie Smulders) of How I Met Your Mother is depicted as an attractive Canadian journalist with a tomboy past on the highly popular television series. Scherbatsky struggles to break free from covering stereotypical “fluff” stories, a genre that is common to female broadcast journalists. While she maintains a rugged and unemotional facade, she is still very womanly and vulnerable in both her career and personal life. This study will examine Scherbatsky’s dichotomous character, compare her image on the series to that of other female journalists in popular culture, and analyze her influence on the current stereotype of female broadcasters.
