My contribution is to take the character -- created by the playwright and acted out by the actor -- and reinvent it for the reader.” Al Hirschfeld in The World of Hirschfeld, 1970 Al Hirschfeld was born in St. Louis in 1903 but his family moved to New York City in 1914 where he would remain for most of the next 90 years. Always the artist making drawings, prints and paintings, Hirschfeld completed artwork for more than twenty publications including The Herald Tribune, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, Business Week, Playbill, TV Guide, Town & Country, Playboy, People, Collier’s, Life, Time, Look, Rolling Stone, and Reader’s Digest. In 1943 Hirschfeld married Dolly Haas who was a well-known European actress he met when on assignment to draw a sketch of a summer theater company. The two were married for just over 50 years and had one daughter, the famous Nina. Finding her name hidden in his drawings became an obsession for some of his fans. Less well known is that his wife Dolly occasionally appeared in the background of his drawings. Al Hirschfeld became the first artist in history to have his name on a U.S.

  • The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart”—Bob Newhart (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart”—Bob Newhart (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Bob Newhart Bob Newhart’s landmark comedy album of 1960 has the distinction of being the first comedy album to ever win the Grammy for Best Album of the Year. It is also, to date, one of only two comedy albums ever to obtain that honor. (Vaughn Meader’s “First Family,” made two years later, would be the other.) Though it was just the third time the award had ever been given out, it was still no small feat; Newhart’s competition that year included music by Frank Sinatra, Harry Belafonte, and Nat King Cole. For Newhart, formerly a professional accountant living in Chicago, “Button-Down” was the spectacular start of a remarkable performing, recording and television career. The album would also prove to be a high water mark in American comedy as well as signify a major tonal shift in the world of “what’s funny.” George Robert Newhart was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1929. By his own admission, Newhart’s childhood gave him little reason to grow up to be funny. Unlike most professional comedians, he never felt h had anything to rebel against or defend himself from. Newhart claims to have had a happy, contented childhood in a Midwest, middle class and intact family. Still, from an early age, his knack for impressions (including Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney) and a highly dry wit, garnered him some attention as a low-key class clown.

  • The Thanksgiving House’
    ‘THE THANKSGIVING HOUSE’ CAST BIOS EMILY ROSE (Mary Ross) — Emily Rose has become one of television’s fastest rising young stars with an already impressive and diverse body of work. Rose returned for another season as the star of Syfy’s hit supernatural drama series, “Haven,” based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. Rose stars as Audrey Parker, the shrewd and confident FBI agent who continues to navigate the unpredictable and often treacherous town of Haven, that doubles as a refuge for people that are afflicted with a remarkable range of supernatural abilities. Rose’s other television credits include NBC’s “E.R.” as Dr. Tracy Martin, ABC’s hit drama series “Brother & Sisters” as Lena Branigan, CBS’s “Jericho” as Trish Merrick and David Milch’s HBO series “John from Cincinnati” as Cass. Additional television credits include the USA pilot “Operating Instructions” and guest starring roles in ABC’s “Private Practice,” CBS’s “Two and a Half Men,” “Without a Trace” and “Cold Case.” Rose also has a cult following for her role in the extraordinarily popular video game franchise “Uncharted,” for which she voices and portrays the game’s heroine, Elena Fisher. Rose received her undergraduate degree in theatrical arts from Vanguard University in Orange County, California and went on to study Shakespeare in Oxford, England at the British American Drama Academy. She continued her studies at UCLA, where she received her MFA in acting. While at UCLA, Rose was an active participant in Arts Bridge America, a program which fights to keep arts education in public schools and also taught at the UCLA summer Youth Performance Conservatory.

  • HEART-TO-HEART with BOB NEWHART by Jennifer Pfaff
    HEART-TO-HEART WITH BOB NEWHART By Jennifer Pfaff Bored in his job as an accountant in Chicago, Bob Newhart decided he would rather talk to imaginary people all day than crunch numbers. Apparently, it wasn't such a crazy career move after all. Taking up comedy, Newhart became known for performing stand-up routines in which he portrays one end of a conversation, usually on a phone call, implying what the other person is saying. He delivers most lines with an intentional stammer and a dry sense of humor, becoming the definition of deadpan. His debut album, “The Button-Down mind of Bob Newhart,” released in 1960, was the first comedy album to reach No. 1 on the charts and still ranks as the twentieth best-selling album of all time. Seven more albums followed, earning Newhart three Grammys. His 1961 variety show, The Bob Newhart Show, only lasted one season but received an Emmy nomination and a Peabody Award. He created a sitcom by the same name a decade later, playing the starring role of dry-humored psychologist Dr. Bob Hartley. Ironically, when the show ended after six seasons, it provided the perfect ending for his second sitcom, Newhart, which ran from 1982-1990. In the last episode of that show, in which Newhart played Vermont innkeeper Dick Loudon, he woke up in bed with Suzanne Pleshette, who played Newhart’s wife, Emily, on The Bob Newhart Show. It turns out the entire Newhart series was dreamt by Hartley. The script is considered one of the best finale episodes ever written.

  • I Ought to Be in Pictures Study Guide
    Sacramento Theatre Company Study Guide I Oughta Be in Pictures By: Neil Simon Study Guide Materials Compiled by Anna Miles Sacramento Theatre Company Mission Statement The Sacramento Theatre Company (STC) strives to be the leader in integrating professional theatre with theatre arts education. STC produces engaging professional theatre, provides exceptional theatre training, and uses theatre as a tool for educational engagement. Our History The theatre was originally formed as the Sacramento Civic Repertory Theatre in 1942, an ad hoc troupe formed to entertain locally-stationed troops during World War II. On October 18, 1949, the Sacramento Civic Repertory Theatre acquired a space of its own with the opening of the Eaglet Theatre, named in honor of the Eagle, a Gold Rush-era theatre built largely of canvas that had stood on the city’s riverfront in the 1850s. The Eaglet Theatre eventually became the Main Stage of the not-for-profit Sacramento Theatre Company, which evolved from a community theatre to professional theatre company in the 1980s. Now producing shows in three performance spaces, it is the oldest theatre company in Sacramento. After five decades of use, the Main Stage was renovated as part of the H Street Theatre Complex Project. Features now include an expanded and modernized lobby and a Cabaret Stage for special performances. The facility also added expanded dressing rooms, laundry capabilities, and other equipment allowing the transformation of these performance spaces, used nine months of the year by STC, into backstage and administration places for three months each summer to be used by California Musical Theatre for Music Circus.

  • Take a Look Ahead
    TAKE A LOOK AHEAD The Rev. J. Donald Waring Grace Church in New York The Second Sunday of Advent December 10, 2017 Do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. (2 Peter 3:8) When I was growing up in the 1970’s my mother had a favorite line up of Saturday evening television programs. One of these was a situation comedy called The Bob Newhart Show. Bob Newhart played Dr. Robert Hartley, a Chicago psychologist who worked in a downtown office suite. The cast included Bob’s amusing clients, and most especially, Bob’s wife Emily, portrayed by Suzanne Pleshette. The show ran from 1972-1978, and then, as is eventually the case with all sit-coms, the powers that be decreed it was time to pull the plug. In the series finale, Bob and Emily decided to move out of state, and that was the end of it. Four years later Bob Newhart launched a new situation comedy, this one simply called Newhart. In the new series Bob’s character was Dick Loudin, a New York City author, who with his wife, Joanna, had moved to a small town in Vermont to operate an inn. The reality they encountered in Vermont was beyond quirky, and often surreal. Nothing quite made any sense. Perhaps oddest of all were the three brothers named Larry, Darryl, and Darryl who lived deep in the woods. Every time they appeared in a scene Larry would introduce them by saying, “Hi, I’m Larry, and this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl.” The show ran from 1982-1990 until, once again, the powers that be decided to pull the plug and end it.

Medic also established the template that most later doctor shows followed: Hospital-based, acute illnesses resolved in the allotted time.

The latter reviewed all scripts to ensure an idealized presentation of doctors.
