RUPERT HOLMES The L.A. Times calls him “an American treasure” while News- week deems him “the true Renaissance man.” Award-winning composer, playwright, lyricist, mystery novelist, arranger-con- ductor, screenwriter, record producer, hit singer-songwriter and lifelong NYGASP devotee Rupert Holmes was the first per- son in theatrical history to solely win Tony® awards for Best Music, Best Lyrics and Best Book of a Musical for his creation The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which also won the Tony award for Best Musical. In 2014, the American Society of Composers and Publishers, better known as ASCAP, presented him with its prestigious “George M. Cohan Award” in honor of the range and depth of his remarkably diverse career. Holmes considers himself to have been environmentally blessed. His father was a Julliard graduate who played lead alto in the big band era, conducted Toscanini’s string section and was head of auditions for NBC. His literate, witty British mother raised him to appreciate the lyrics of Noel Coward and Lorenz Hart. And his younger brother Rich- ard Holmes is an internationally-renowned vocalist from Glimmerglass to Glinka Concert Hall, a fixture of the Metropolitan Opera from boyhood (recently featured prominently throughout the PBS documentary The Opera House), and a pillar of the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players, delighting audiences and critics alike for decades. It was Richard who turned the family’s home into a nonstop Savoyard festival, steeping his older brother in everything from Trial by Jury through The Grand Duke. While still in his teens attending The Manhattan School of Music, Rupert Holmes was already breaking into the music business, arranging recordings for The Drifters and The Platters while writing songs for The Partridge Family. But it was his own first album as a solo singer-songwriter, the critically-acclaimed Wi- descreen, that earned him the attention of Barbra Streisand, for whom he consequently wrote, arranged and conducted her platinum Lazy Afternoon album, also contributing songs to the Golden Globe-winning score of A Star is Born. His songs have since been recorded by many of the most popular vocalists of our time, including (to name a few) Barry Manilow, Judy Collins, Vanessa Williams, Dolly Parton, Britney Spears and opera’s Renée Fleming. In the eighties, he had his own Top Ten hits as both a singer and songwriter, including the now-iconic Billboard #1 record, “Escape,” known to most of the planet as “The Pina Colada Song,” and heard through the decades in countless motion pictures and T.V. shows, most recently Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool 2, True Blood, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Grownups, and Better Call Saul. Growing restless with the three-minute story form, Holmes spent three years single-handedly creating the book, lyrics, music and orchestrations for his first theatrical work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, set in the time, milieu and idioms of Gilbert and Sullivan, and influenced not only by the team’s classic operet- tas but also by his brother’s performances in NYGASP’s impeccable and inspiring productions, under the visionary leadership of Albert Bergeret. It was most fitting that, after Drood’s Broadway triumph, it made its London premiere at G&S’s own Savoy Theatre. It was recently revived on Broadway by the Roundabout Theatre. He has written seven more Broadway productions to date, with several more on the way. His script and additional lyrics for Kander and Ebb’s Broadway score of Curtains won him the Drama Desk award for Best Book and two further Tony® nominations. His comedy-drama Say Goodnight, Gracie earned Holmes the National Broadway Theatre Award and a Tony® nomination for Best Play. He’s since adapted John Grisham, Paddy Chayefsky, Agatha Christie, Oscar Wilde and Jerry Lewis for major stages around the world. As a mystery writer, he’s twice received the Oscar of Crime, the coveted “Edgar” award, for his comedy thrillers. His first novel, Where the Truth Lies earned him a Nero Wolfe nomination for Best Ameri- can Mystery Novel and became a motion picture starring Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon. Holmes also cre- ated and scripted all 56 episodes of AMC’s acclaimed TV series Remember WENN. He is currently working on commissioned musicals about Andy Warhol, the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, and the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, while also completing his latest novel for Simon and Schuster.

    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE May 2016 Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network Laura Osur Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Osur, Laura, "Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network" (2016).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Nanuet, New York Brief Biography: Rupert Holmes Was Born
    11. Name: Rupert Holmes Years: February 24, 1947 – Present Residence: Nanuet, New York Brief Biography: Rupert Holmes was born under the name David Goldstein in Northwich, Cheshire, England. His father was an American army officer and his mother was an English woman. His family was musically inclined, evidenced by his father being a band leader and his brother growing up to be an opera singer. His family relocated after a few years to Nanuet, New York, where Holmes grew up and attended nearby Nyack High School. After graduating, Holmes went on to study at the Manhattan School of Music where he majored in clarinet. He married in 1969 to Elizabeth Dreifuss, whom he had three children with. In his twenties, Holmes was a session musician (composing, playing, and recording) and worked with groups such as The Cuff Links, The Buoys, and The Archies. It was at this time that he made his first appearances on the billboard charts. He went on to be a recording artist in his own right by 1974. His work was noticed by Barbra Streisand and was utilized in the movie A Star Is Born. "Escape" debuted on Holmes' fifth album, Partners in Crime, and reached the Hot 100 No. 1 Hits of 1979 becoming the last number one song of the 1970s. A number of his songs such as “Town Square” and “Terminal,” directly or indirectly reference where he grew up around Nyack. He wrote a single for The Jets called "You Got It All" which was later rerecorded by Britney Spears in 2000. Holmes also went on to become a playwright with plays such as The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the Tony Award-nominated ("Best Play 2003") Say Goodnight, Gracie, and musical theatre version of the film The First Wives Club.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • Rundt Om Mad Men
    Rundt om Mad Men Af JAKOB ISAK NIELSEN Da New York Times-journalisten Alex Witchel i sommeren 2008 skrev en længere interviewbaseret artikel om Mad Men (2007-), fandt hun det nødvendigt at anføre, hvordan Matthew Weiners efternavn skulle udtales: ”(pronounced: WHY-ner)” – ikke ”wee-nah.” I mellemtiden er Mad Mens ophavsmand og showrunner blevet en idoliseret stjerne, og forårets treparts- forhandlinger om sæson fem-syv skulle efter sigende indbringe Weiner i omegnen af 30 millioner dollars (Boorstin 2011, Frankel & Molloy 2011). Matthew Weiner aspirerede først mod at blive digter (læste litteratur, fi- losofi og historie på Wesleyan University) og senere filminstruktør (fuldførte University of Southern Californias kandidatuddannelse i film og tv). Hans afgangsfilm var en humoristisk dokumentarfilm om paparazzijournalistik, og midt i en frustrerende periode skrev og instruerede han sågar en spillefilm for bare 12.000 dollars med titlen What Do You Do All Day? Efter perioder med arbejdsløshed måtte han løbende nedskalere sine ambitioner og endte lavt i fødekæden: som vitsleverandør til Foxs Party Girl (1996). Herfra krav- lede han langsomt op i hierarkiet og arbejdede f.eks. på The Naked Truth (ABC/NBC, 1995-1998). Weiner fristede en tilværelse som ”rugbrødsskri- bent” på situationskomedien Becker (CBS, 1998-2004) med Ted Danson i hovedrollen, da han om aftenen begyndte at arbejde på manuskriptet til Mad Men. Over to år skrev han passager, samlede materiale, betalte for re- search om tiden (de sene 1950’ere på det tidspunkt), men i forbindelse med en pitch i 1999 faldt to vigtige brikker på plads for Weiner: Hoved- personen skulle være gift, og det faktum skulle først afsløres i slutningen af pilotafsnittet.
