  • Feminine Wiles: Empowered Women, Heroic and Evil
    FEMININE WILES: EMPOWERED WOMEN, HEROIC AND EVIL Dr. Kate Kane of DePaul University presided over a panel that included Yvonne Craig, who played librarian Barbara Gordon and her alter ego Batgirl on the Batman series; Dr. Julie D'Acci of the University of Wisconsin -Madison, who researches television from a feminist perspective; Erin Gray, Col. Wilma Deering on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century; Julie Newmar who was Rhoda the robot on My Living Doll and Catwoman on Batman; and Ronald Smith, author of Sweet- hearts of 60s TV. JULIE D'ACCI: The TV industry had always claimed that male viewers would not watch shows that had women as heroes, that had a woman as the primary protagonist. But as the 60s wore on and the sexual revolution heated up and as people like Helen Gurley Brown in 1962 wrote Sex and the Single Girl, the industry became more interested in trying to feature women in leading roles. One of the first women to break the barrier was Anne Francis in Honey West in 1965. The reason she was able to be the lead in a drama program was that ABC was the fledgling network at the time and was trying to go out and attract an audience that CBS and NBC were not attract- ing. ABC was willing to take a risk with a woman as a hero. But the contradictions are very evident, because the industry wouldn't let her star by herself. Even ABC, which was willing to take the risk with a sexualized woman lead, decided almost at the last minute that she had to co -star with a man.

An Olympic Gold Medalist in swimming, and a hero on the silver screen, he wasn’t L bigger than life—he was as big as life could be. Al- though, early in his career, he shared the role of Tarzan with fellow Olympic hero, Johnny Weissmuller, he was known to several generations as the personification of both of America’s first science fiction heroes, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. In his later years, he shared reminiscences of his life and screen careers with author Karl Whitezel, who has gathered them into a wonderful volume titled Buster Crabbe: A Self Por- trait (see ad on page 13).

  • Announces: BUCK ROGERS in the 25TH CENTURY – SEASON
    Announces: BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY – SEASON ONE Composed and Conducted by LES BAXTER, JOHNNY HARRIS, STU PHILLIPS, and RICHARD LASALLE Intrada Special Collection Volume ISC 255 Intrada follows its series of Battlestar Galactica albums with the release of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, featuring music from a selection of season one episodes. Unlike Galactica which featured music composed exclusively by Stu Phillips, Rogers relied on a stable of different composers. While each composer has his own distinctive voice, they all shared a basic understanding that Buck is an old-fashioned hero. He is brave, generous and honorable; always quick to do what is right. He is also suave, funny and fiercely competitive. The series’ humanity and good humor needed to come through in every episode, however intense the action, however cornball the sentiment, and however outlandish the alien trappings. Music played a major role in striking that balance. The scores of Buck Rogers are exciting, funky, tender and strange– but they are never less than fun, and they never lose sight of the hero at the heart of it all. For this volume, Intrada presents suites from the following episodes on this 3-CD set: Planet of the Slave Girls (Johnny Harris) The Plot to Kill a City (Stu Phillips) Return of the Fighting 69th (Johnny Harris) Vegas in Space (Les Baxter) Aradala Returns (Johnny Harris) Space Rockers (Johnny Harris) Unchained Woman (Richard LaSalle) The album also includes the added bonus of "Jelly Belly,” a source dance cue from the pilot The Awakening that fans have been seeking for years.
