Edited by Corinne Steinbrenner TOWEY: You were an acting student at Boston University in the 1980s. Are there things you learned at BU that are still important in your everyday life as an actress? MOORE: Absolutely. I had a variety of sources to draw from while I was there. Different techniques and methods were taught each year, and the one thing that I came away with is that there is no one method to acting, to performing. You have to find it yourself. You spend four years with some teachers you really respond to, and then there are other teachers whose methods you don’t respond to. At the end of the four years, you realize what you like and what works for you. So, absolutely, there are things that became fundamental to my acting. TOWEY: I was thinking about how, especially having children in college myself, so much of a person’s education depends on what you bring to it as a student. I don’t know if all students realize the responsibility they carry when they go to university and how important it is for them to make choices and open themselves up to possibilities. MOORE: I don’t think they do. I was at BU not long ago and spoke to some acting students. I talked about what was expected of them when they got out of school, but I think they should require those same things of themselves PHOTOGRAPH!BY!MATTHEW!HRANEK Summer 2012 BOSTONIA !" 442-45_BostoniaSummer12_03.indd2-45_BostoniaSummer12_03.indd 4343 55/30/12/30/12 44:29:29 PMPM GAEL TOWEY Gael Towey’s career has spanned the publishing spectrum: she got her start as a paste-up artist for Studio Books, her creative direction brought Martha Stewart Living Omnime- dia (MSLO) numerous magazine design awards (including the prestigious Towey drove the 2010 launch of “Boundless In 2010, Towey took As MSLO’s chief American Society of Beauty,” a special iPad edition of Martha Stewart part in the rebranding creative director, Magazine Editors Award Living, which won the Society of Publication of health and lifestyle Towey helped to Designers inaugural Tablet App of the Year magazine Body+Soul spearhead the launch for Design), and she now Award.

  • Revlon Signs Oscar-Nominated Actress Julianne Moore
    Revlon Signs Oscar-Nominated Actress Julianne Moore November 20, 2001 NEW YORK, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Revlon announced today that two time Oscar-nominated actress Julianne Moore has joined the company's exclusive group of spokespeople. Moore, star of the highly acclaimed films ``Hannibal,'' ``Boogie Nights'' and ``The Big Lebowski,'' will appear in advertising campaigns for the company and will participate in philanthropic efforts dedicated towards the fight against women's cancers. Moore will appear in various advertising campaigns for the Revlon brand, with the first television commercial scheduled to break nationally in January 2002. In addition, Revlon and Moore have committed to work together towards a common goal -- the fight against breast and ovarian cancers. Moore will participate in select corporate and philanthropic events for the company. ``Julianne is the perfect example of today's modern woman,'' said Revlon CEO and President Jeff Nugent. ``As a beautiful, respected actress and dedicated mother, Julianne balances her hectic schedule with grace and ease. She knows what's important in life and pursues it with confidence and integrity. We're thrilled to have such a remarkable woman representing the company,'' Nugent said. Moore most recently starred in the blockbuster hit ``Hannibal,'' opposite Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldham. Her next role will be in the highly anticipated Miramax film, ``The Shipping News'' co-starring Kevin Spacey, Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. The film is scheduled to be released in December 2001. ``I'm very excited to be working with a well-respected company like Revlon,'' said Julianne Moore. ``I have always admired their dedication to women's health issues and their long-standing position as a truly iconic American beauty company.

  • Novel to Novel to Film: from Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to Michael
    Rogers 1 Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ Novel to Novel to Film: From Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway to Michael Cunningham’s and Daldry-Hare’s The Hours Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2015 By Jacob Rogers ____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Kirk Boyle ____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Lorena Russell Rogers 2 All the famous novels of the world, with their well known characters, and their famous scenes, only asked, it seemed, to be put on the films. What could be easier and simpler? The cinema fell upon its prey with immense rapacity, and to this moment largely subsists upon the body of its unfortunate victim. But the results are disastrous to both. The alliance is unnatural. Eye and brain are torn asunder ruthlessly as they try vainly to work in couples. (Woolf, “The Movies and Reality”) Although adaptation’s detractors argue that “all the directorial Scheherezades of the world cannot add up to one Dostoevsky, it does seem to be more or less acceptable to adapt Romeo and Juliet into a respected high art form, like an opera or a ballet, but not to make it into a movie. If an adaptation is perceived as ‘lowering’ a story (according to some imagined hierarchy of medium or genre), response is likely to be negative...An adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative—a work that is second without being secondary.

The midwinter wind is whipping down Broadway and seeping determinedly through the windows into this loud, overcrowded café, which compensates by having the radiators on overdrive: They hiss and splutter indignantly against the walls, steaming up the windows.

    Publication Date: September 4, 2018 Media Contact: Diane Levinson, Publicity [email protected] 212.354.8840 x248 The Endings Photographic Stories of Love, Loss, Heartbreak, and Beginning Again By Caitlin Cronenberg and Jessica Ennis • Foreword by Mary Harron 11 x 8 in, 136pp, Hardcover, Photographs throughout ISBN 978‐1‐4521‐5568‐5, $29.95 Featuring some of today’s most celebrated actresses, including Julianne Moore, Alison Pill, and Imogen Poots, the photographic vignettes in The Endings capture female characters in the throes of emotional transformation. Photographer Caitlin Cronenberg and art director Jessica Ennis created stories of heartbreak, relationship endings, and new beginnings—fictional but often inspired by real life—and set out to convey the raw emotions that are exposed in these most vulnerable states. Cronenberg and Ennis collaborated with each actress to develop a character, build the world she inhabits, and then photograph her as she lived the role before the camera. Patricia Clarkson depicts a woman meeting her younger lover in the campus library—even though they both know the relationship has been over since before it even began. Juno Temple portrays a broken‐hearted woman who engages in reckless and self‐destructive behavior to numb the sadness she feels. Keira Knightley ritualistically cleanses herself and her home after the death of her great love. Also featured are Jennifer Jason Leigh, Danielle Brooks, Tessa Thompson, Noomi Rapace, and many more. These intimate images combine the lush beauty and rich details of fashion photographs with the drama and narrative energy of film stills. Telling stories of sadness, loneliness, anger, relief, rebirth, freedom, and happiness, they are about relationship endings, but they are also about beginnings.

  • From Novel to Film
    FROM NOVEL TO FILM AUTHOR MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM ON THE HOURS I may be the only living American novelist who is entirely happy with what Hollywood has done to his novel. I naturally feel slightly embarrassed about that. I worry that if I were a more substantial person, I’d be outraged. And yet, they did a remarkable job. I felt good about the movie from the beginning, when Scott Rudin told me that David Hare was interested in writing the screenplay. I find that, unlike many novelists, I don’t feel much allegiance to the "sacred text". A novel, any novel, I write is neither more nor less than the best I could do right then with those characters and situations. Five or more years later, I’d surely write the book differently. If I’m fortunate enough to find that someone gifted and intelligent, "someone I respect", wants to turn my story into a movie or an opera or a situation comedy, the only sensible response is to turn it over and see where he or she will take the story, and to hope that I’ll be surprised. I wouldn’t want an entirely faithful adaptation. What would be the fun of that? Before David started writing, I spent a day with him and Stephen Daldry, the director, in London. We talked for hours about the characters’ lives outside the scope of the book: How did Clarissa and Sally meet? Had Richard been an AIDS activist? If Laura were to truly consider taking her own life, what means would she use? Then, armed with that information, David went to work, very much on his own.
