Get Ready for Your Stay at the WHITE LOTUS When the New Limited Series Debuts July 11 Get ready for your stay at THE WHITE LOTUS when the new limited series debuts July 11 MIAMI, FL., May 11, 2021 - From Mike White (HBO’s “Enlightened”), the six-episode HBO Original limited series THE WHITE LOTUS, a social satire set at an exclusive Hawaiian resort, debuts Sunday, July 11. The series will premiere on HBO Max and HBO. Starring Murray Bartlett (HBO’s “Looking”), Connie Britton (“Nashville”), Jennifer Coolidge (“2 Broke Girls”), Alexandra Daddario (HBO’s “True Detective”), Fred Hechinger (“Eighth Grade”), Jake Lacy (HBO’s “Girls”), Brittany O'Grady (“Little Voice”), Natasha Rothwell (HBO’s “Insecure”), Sydney Sweeney (HBO’s “Euphoria”) and Steve Zahn (HBO’s “Treme”), the series follows the vacations of various hotel guests over the span of a week as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise. But with each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel’s cheerful employees and the idyllic locale itself. Recurring guest stars include: Molly Shannon (HBO’s “Divorce”), Jon Gries (“Dream Corp LLC”), Jolene Purdy (“WandaVision”), Kekoa Kekumano (“Aquaman”), and Lukas Gage (HBO’s “Euphoria”). Among the employees at The White Lotus are the fastidious resort manager Armond (Murray Bartlett), who, after a sudden trauma, begins a dramatic downward spiral - and the down-to-earth spa manager, Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) who gets taken on an emotional roller coaster ride by a needy guest. The vacationers include the Mossbacher family – Nicole (Connie Britton), a successful type-A exec, who can’t help but treat her family like disobedient employees; her husband, Mark (Steve Zahn), dealing with both an embarrassing health crisis and a terminal inferiority complex; their teenaged son, Quinn (Fred Hechinger), a socially awkward gamer, experiencing the wonder of nature for the very first time; their daughter, Olivia (Sydney Sweeney), and her friend, Paula (Brittany O’Grady), sharp-tongued college sophomores who cast a sardonic eye on the lifestyles and belief systems of everyone around them. The handsome, entitled Shane Patton (Jake Lacy) is here with his beautiful bride, Rachel (Alexandra Daddario). Shane and Rachel are in the throes of young love, but as they get to know each other better in this new, intimate environment, clouds of doubt appear – and by the time Shane’s intrusive mother, Kitty (Molly Shannon) surprises them with an unwelcome visit, their fairytale honeymoon has begun to unravel. And finally, there is Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge), a wealthy, unstable woman, recovering from the death of her mother, traveling alone to the hotel, looking for love and in desperate need of a massage. THE WHITE LOTUS is created, written and directed by Mike White; executive produced by White, David Bernad and Nick Hall; co-executive produced by Mark Kamine. The series was filmed on the island of Maui.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my committee chair, Professor Joyce Noe, for her support, guidance and insight throughout this doctoral project. Many thanks to my wonderful committee members William Chapman and Brian Takahashi for their precious and valuable guidance and support. Salute to my dear professor Spencer Leineweber who inspires me in spirit and work ethic. Thanks to all the professors for your teaching and encouragement imparted on me throughout my years of study.

  • “Baywatch” and “Letters from Baghdad”
    The Current Cinema June 5 & 12, 2017 Issue “Baywatch” and “Letters from Baghdad” An adaptation of the iconic television series, starring Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Kelly Rohrbach, and a documentary about Gertrude Bell. By Anthony Lane Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Kelly Rohrbach star in Seth Gordon’s movie. Illustration by Bendik Kaltenborn here are so many things you can do with a beach in the movies. You can clear it by shouting, “Shark!” You can storm it in the T face of German guns. If you’re Steve McQueen, you can race around it in an orange dune buggy. If you’re Elvis, you can stand on the sand, in little white shorts, and pluck at your ukulele. And, if you’re Gérard Philipe, in “Une Si Jolie Petite Plage” (1949), the saddest of all beach lms, you can mooch along the strand, in the rain, with a face like rolling thunder. Then there is “Baywatch,” where no rain falls. The television series started in 1989 and, after a hiccup, ran for most of the following decade, earning “a wider audience on the planet Earth than any other entertainment show in history,” according to a Times report, in 1995. “Baywatch” aired in more than a hundred and forty countries and was dubbed into many tongues: a triumph of metamorphosis, since the dialogue was only just recognizable as English in the rst place. There were three attempts to promote the show from the small screen to the big, including “Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding” (2003), whose plot is anyone’s guess, but, https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/06/05/baywatch-and-letters-from-baghdad 1/3 tragically, all three swam straight to video.

  • WEEKSWORTH, DAILY COURIER, Grants Pass, Oregon • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS Saturday Wednesday the Goldbergs 90 Day: the Single Life ABC 8 P.M
    Daily Courier We e k’sWor th THE TV MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2021 Nathan Fillion returns as THE ROOKIE for a fourth season on CBS ‘The Rookie’ returns after cliffhanger drama By Kyla Brewer TV Media Cop shows have been around practically since the dawn of television, and there’s still nothing quite like a good police drama, especially one with a nail-biting cliffhanger season finale. After months of waiting, anxious fans will finally find out what happens when a prime-time hit returns to the airwaves. Nathan Fillion reprises his role as John Nolan, a cop who sets out to find a col- league after she goes missing in the sea- son premiere of “The Rookie,” airing Sun- day on ABC. The debut marks the fourth season of the hour-long drama centered on Nolan, a 40-something cop — and oldest rookie in the history of the LAPD — who works at the Mid-Wilshire Division of the Los Ange- les Police Department. The police drama is the latest in a string of hits for Canadian-American actor Fillion, who rose to fame as Capt. Mal- colm Reynolds in the cult favorite TV series “Firefly” and its subsequent spinoff film, “Serenity” (2005), and as sleuthing mystery writer Richard Castle in the ABC crime drama “Castle.” Born and raised in Edmonton, Fillion moved south to pursue a career in acting, landing roles in TV shows “One Life to Live” and “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” and in the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (1998). Now, he’s leading the cast of one of prime time’s highest-rated network series: “The Rookie.” At the end of last season, pregnant Det.

  • Sydney Sweeney Was Nine Years Old, Her Class Took a Field Trip to the Foothills of the Selkirk Mountains in W Eastern Washington
    Hollywood Rising | CULTURE hen Sydney Sweeney was nine years old, her class took a field trip to the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains in W eastern Washington. There, she and her fellow fourth graders measured the pH levels of the Little Spokane River. “We learned hands-on in the environment,” says the actress, who went on to graduate as high school valedictorian. “It made me love learning.” Over the past few years, Sweeney, now 22, has con- tinued taking litmus tests, but of an altogether different ilk. In a slew of prestige projects, she’s plumbed the cul- tural waters, providing timely visualizations of author- itarian rule (Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale) and teenage drug use (HBO’s Euphoria). In the latter, she plays fan favorite Cassie Howard, whose pinup-girl pout often betrays the character’s quiet kindness. In the season one finale, Cassie is seen lying on a sterile operating table, readying herself for an abortion. (HBO has confirmed a second season will air this year, but Sweeney’s mum on the details.) “I always find a little bit of myself in every character, but Cassie is probably the closest to me,” she says. “Being a blond-haired, blue-eyed girl with a body, I can be typecast. But I love math. I’m going to college for business. People are always thrown off.” Last fall, Halsey tapped the actress to star in her downright euphoric music video for “Graveyard.” One YouTube commenter wrote, “It’s good to see happiness on Cassie Howard.” In fact, Sweeney has been chasing happiness for years.
