    Audrey Hepburn at the National Press Club, April 7, 1989 Audrey Hepburn, April 7, 1989. Photo by Stan Jennings. National Press Club Archives Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children’s Fund, or UNICEF, spoke at a National Press Club luncheon a few days before journeying to Sudan, where she publicized the organization’s attempt to distribute food, medicine, and supplies to more than two million people in the southern portion of that war-torn country before the rainy season made conditions impossible for relief efforts to operate. UNICEF’s director, James P. Grant, had negotiated an unprecedented agreement with government and guerrilla forces to allow aid workers safe corridors through which to transport materials. Hepburn’s role was to act as a witness to the effort, named Operation Lifeline Sudan, and thereby attract the press’s attention to the plight of children in danger, a cause to which she dedicated herself during the last five years of her life. In her talk to the Press Club, she urged reporters to focus on the Sudan. A day earlier, she appealed to a House appropriations subcommittee to take action to help relieve the mounting third world debt problem, arguing that children, the principle victims, “are too fragile to wait until the economic crisis is past.” The voyage to the Sudan was Hepburn’s sixth since she joined UNICEF in 1988, a decision motivated in part by the deprivations she herself had suffered as a child in occupied Holland during World War II. Her uncle was executed by Nazi troops.

    ____________________________________________________________________ Glorifying the Jewish-American Girl: Fanny Brice, Funny Girl, and “The Streisand Phenomenon” ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ “What makes [a contemporary production of Funny Girl] all the more impressive is that few actors, or theater companies outside of summer stock, dare to attempt Jule Styne's and Bob Merrill's grand spectacle that propelled Barbra Streisand's career nearly 40 years ago.” Jillian Hornbeck Ambroz, The New York Times (April 2001) “Our renewed fondness, even adoration, of Streisand is evidence of a nostalgia for a time when striving for excellence was at least as important as making a buck, and when originality was prized over focus- grouped packaging. In the early 1960s, Streisand reset the cultural parameters when she walked onstage in Funny Girl and said ‘Hello, Gorgeous’ to herself in the mirror – a slender, unusual girl who wouldn’t compromise on appearance, performance, or integrity.

  • Anita Loos: a Hollywood Legend with Roots in the Small Siskiyou County Town of Etna
    Anita Loos: A Hollywood legend with roots in the small Siskiyou County town of Etna By Jon Lewis The gravestone is rather unassuming, as is its location in the Etna Cemetery. What’s not unassuming, however, is the story of the diminutive woman whose fi nal resting place is in Siskiyou County’s Scott Valley. Anita Loos, who stood an inch short of fi ve feet and weighed in at 90 pounds, was a giant in early 20th- century Hollywood and Broadway. In a career spanning 60 years, she wrote some 200 screenplays and played a key role in advancing the acting careers of Douglas Fairbanks, Jean Harlow and Audrey Hepburn. She’s best known for “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” a best-selling comic novel published in 1925 that introduced the world to Lorelei Lee, a gold-digging fl apper. The fi rst edition of the book sold out overnight and it was ultimately printed in 13 diff erent languages in some 85 editions. It garnered praise from literary stalwarts William Faulkner and Aldous Huxley while Edith Horton called it “the great American novel.” The infl uential director D.W. Griffi th dubbed Loos “the most brilliant young woman in the world.” Helen Gurley Brown, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, would later remark that the prescient and pioneering Loos had managed the twin goals of “being PHOTO AND COVER PHOTO / Everett Collection / Courtesy Everett Collection - stock.adobe.com sexy and having a fantastic career at the same time before anybody.” Anita Loos, right, and Jean Harlow in a publicity still for the 1932 movie “Red-Headed Woman,” which Loos’s roots in Siskiyou County Loos wrote the screenplay for and Harlow starred, in one of the more famous pre-code era fi lms.

    15 Members of the EGOT Winners' Circle (and 20 Almost-EGOTS) BY JENNIFER M WOOD https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/551084/egot-emmy-grammy-oscar-tony-award-winners FEBRUARY 11, 2019 ALBERTO E. RODRIGUEZ, GETTY IMAGES 1. RICHARD RODGERS GETTY IMAGES Before there was even a name for it, American composer Richard Rodgers became the first person to EGOT (yes, the acronym can also be used as a verb) when he won an Emmy for the television documentary Winston Churchill: The Valiant Years. His Oscar came in 1945, when his “It Might as Well Be Spring” from State Fair was named Best Song. He earned Grammys in both 1960 and 1962, for the original cast recordings of The Sound of Music and No Strings, respectively. Between 1950 and 1962, he won six Tony Awards, three of them in that first year for South Pacific. The same year, South Pacific also earned Rodgers a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, which we guess makes him a PEGOT. 2. HELEN HAYES00:00 GETTY IMAGES In 1977, 15 years after Rodgers inaugurated the honor, actress Helen Hayes joined him as the first female EGOT—an honor that took her 45 years to achieve, the longest of any of her EGOT peers. Her road began in 1932, when she won the Oscar for The Sin of Madelon Claudet (she won a second Oscar for 1970’s Airport). Her first Tony came in 1947, for Happy Birthday, followed by another in 1958 for Time Remembered. And she won a Best Actress Emmy in 1953 for an episode of Schlitz Playhouse of Stars.

  • Sangre De Cristo Arts Center Presents Forbidden Hollywood with Red
    210 N Santa Fe Avenue | Pueblo, CO 81003 www.sdc-arts.org | 719-295-7200 FOR RELEASE: January 22, 2015 Contact: Alyssa Parga, Marketing Manager 719-295-7211 | [email protected] Sangre de Cristo Arts Center presents Forbidden Hollywood with Red Carpet Happy Hour to Kick Off Oscar Weekend (Pueblo, Colo.-January 22, 2015) The Pueblo Arts Center will present Forbidden Hollywood on February 20, 2015 at 7:30 pm in the Arts Center Theater as part of the Center Stage Series. Hot on the heels of its wicked, long-running predecessor, Forbidden Broadway, Forbidden Hollywood has come to town, guns blazing and smoking with attitude. When the dust clears, industry icons are everywhere in the street, lovingly littered by creator Gerard Alessandrini whose Broadway blowout has run in New York for more than 20 years and has toured the world. With pacing as furious as Forbidden Broadway, Forbidden Hollywood cuts through tinseltown’s bombast and starpower with surgical precision. Recent classics like “Titanic” “Star Wars”, “Harry Potter” and “Austin Powers” all receive the comic once-over from Forbidden Hollywood’s cast. The bigger the production, the harder it falls. The cast revels in its wicked destruction of blockbusters like “Shrek”, “Lord of the Rings”, and “Chicago”. Disney, fattened beyond counting by its recent string of hits, endures a riotous ribbing of its cartoon world and its theme park megalomania. In one of the revue’s funniest bits, Sharon Stone takes center stage belting out a twisted take on TV’s long-running “Rawhide” show. Alessandrini keeps the show topical by constantly updating the material.
