  • Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess
    PRESS RELEASE: June 2011 11/5 Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess BFI Southbank Salutes the Hollywood Legend On 23 March 2011 Hollywood – and the world – lost a living legend when Dame Elizabeth Taylor died. As a tribute to her BFI Southbank presents a season of some of her finest films, this August, including Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Throughout her career she won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a further three, and, beauty aside, was known for her humanitarian work and fearless social activism. Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on 27 February 1932 to affluent American parents, and moved to the US just months before the outbreak of WWII. Retired stage actress Sara Southern doggedly promoted her daughter’s career as a child star, culminating in the hit National Velvet (1944), when she was just 12, and was instrumental in the reluctant teenager’s successful transition to adult roles. Her first big success in an adult role came with Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride (1950), before her burgeoning sexuality was recognised and she was cast as a wealthy young seductress in A Place in the Sun (1951) – her first on-screen partnership with Montgomery Clift (a friend to whom Taylor remained fiercely loyal until Clift’s death in 1966). Together they were hailed as the most beautiful movie couple in Hollywood history. The oil-epic Giant (1956) came next, followed by Raintree County (1958), which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination and saw Taylor reunited with Clift, though it was during the filming that he was in the infamous car crash that would leave him physically and mentally scarred.

  • Commercial Films/Video Tapes on Teaching
    Commercial Films/Video Tapes On Teaching Prepared by Gary D Fenstermacher Three categories of film or video are included here, depending on whether teaching occurs in the setting of a school (Category I), in a tutorial relationship between teacher and student (Category II), or simply as a plot device in a comedy about or parody of teaching and schooling (Category III). Films described in Category I are listed alphabetically, within decade headings; it is the year the film was made, not the time period it depicts, that determines the decade in which the film is classified. Category I: Depicting Teachers in School Settings 1930's Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). Robert Donat, Greer Garson. British schoolmaster devoted to "his boys." Remade as musical in 1969, starring Peter O'Toole; remake received poor reviews. If you select this film, please do not use the remade version; use the original, 1939, film. It is a first-rate film. 1940's The Corn is Green (1945). Bette Davis, Nigel Bruce. Devoted teacher copes with prize pupil in Welsh mining town in 1895. (1 hr 35 min) Highly regarded remake in 1979 stars Katherine Hepburn in her last teaming with director George Cukor. OK to use either version (1945 or 1979). 1950's Blackboard Jungle (1955). Glenn Ford, Anne Francis. Teacher's difficult adjustment to New York City schools. First commercial film to feature rock music. 1960's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969). Maggie Smith. Eccentric teacher in British girls school. Smith wins Oscar for her performance. Remade as TV miniseries. To Sir With Love (1967, British).

  • Celebrating 75 Years in 2020 HB Studio Celebrates 75 Years As a Crucial Training and Practice Space for Theater Artists
    ONGOING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND PRACTICE FOR ACTORS, PLAYWRIGHTS, AND DIRECTORS Celebrating 75 Years In 2020 HB Studio celebrates 75 years as a crucial training and practice space for theater artists. Herbert Berghof, a rising star of the German-Austrian theater who became a refugee from the Nazi Anschluss, founded HB in his new American home in 1945. In 1946 he joined forces with the magnificent actress Uta Hagen, who would become his life’s partner. Together they established the vital teaching legacy that now survives them, training some of the finest, most lauded actors of the American stage and screen. Having had to restart his artistic life in a new country and a new language, Berghof extended his compassion to other artists from “outside” in the form of an open door. HB is a place of opportunity, access, and community where anyone with serious intent is welcomed. “The instructors are the best in the Berghof was seeking the continuity and experimental business.
