1974 Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore 9/27 1974 Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore 9/27 Screen-writer Robert Getchell also wrote Mommie Dearest (1981) and This Boy’s Life (1993), studied English at the University of Missouri in Columbia, graduating in 1965. After working as a free-lance writer and reviewer, he penned his first screen-play, 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore', which garnered him an Oscar nomination for best original screen-play of 1974 and gained him a British Film Academy award. He was also instrumental in turning the basic theme into a TV series, 'Alice', which ran intermittently from 1976 to 1981 with Linda Lavin as Alice and Diane Ladd reprising her role as Flo in later episodes. Flo went on to have her own series, also created by Getchell, with Polly Holliday taking over from Ladd. Getchell's recurrent theme in most of his films is the relationship between a parent or parent substitute and a child or young person in trying or dangerous situations, the exceptions being his biopics of country singers 'Bound For Glory', also Oscar-nominated, and 'Sweet Dreams'. His output has not been prolific due to his 'day job.' Since the mid-1990s he has been a teacher of Literature at the University of Missouri and the University of Miami, Ohio. (imdb) Cinematographer Kent Wakeford also Mean Streets (1973) and 13 episodes of LA Law. In 1975, Marty “accepted the Oscar for "Best Actress in a Leading Role" on behalf of Ellen Burstyn, who wasn't present at the awards ceremony. She won for her performance in Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)” IMDB .

  • SUMMER NYC LEVEL 2 CLASS Wild Swans by Alice Munro from The
    5th Exercise - SUMMER NYC LEVEL 2 CLASS Wild Swans By Alice Munro from The Beggar Maid . Published by Vintage Contemporaries © 1977 all rights reserved. As we come into the scene below, Rose has been joined by a minister, a stranger, on the train. He has been describing some the Wild Swans of the story title that he happened to see by accident…. Rose was unable to think appreciatively of the wild swans because she was afraid he was going to lead the conversation from them to Nature in general and then to God, the way a minister would feel obligated to do. But he did not, he stopped with the swans. “A very fine sight. You would have enjoyed them.” He was between fifty and sixty years old, Rose thought. He was short, and energetic-looking, with a square ruddy face and bright waves of gray hair combed straight up from his forehead. When she realized he was not going to mention God she felt she ought to show her gratitude. She said they must have been lovely. “It wasn’t even a regular pond, it was only some water lying in a field. It was just luck the water was lying there and they came down and I came driving by at the right time. Just luck. They come in at the east end of Lake Erie, I think. But I was never lucky enough to see them before. “ She turned by degrees to the window, and he returned to his paper. She remained slightly smiling, so as to not seem rude, not to seem to be rejecting conversation altogether.

  • "Spelling:" Alice Munro and the Caretaking Daughter
    “SPELLING”: ALICE MUNRO AND THE CARETAKING DAUGHTER Debra Nicholson A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts August 2010 Committee: Dr. Bill Albertini, Advisor Dr. Beth Casey, Emeritus © 2010 Debra Nicholson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Dr. Bill Albertini, Advisor Alice Munro, the renowned Canadian short story writer, has written, over the course of her long career, no fewer than seventeen stories that feature an ill mother as the primary or tangential theme in a daughter’s narrative. While some critics focus on uncovering autobiographical elements of the stories (Munro’s mother endured early-onset Parkinson’s disease), and others vaguely complain that Munro is merely re-writing the same story again and again, no critic has investigated the range and depth of affect produced by maternal illness proffered in her stories, a topic that appears to be a major concern of Munro’s creative life. Not only is it important to analyze the stories of daughters and their ill mothers because of the topic’s importance to Munro, it is essential to illuminate the texts’ contributions to the intersecting discourses of illness, death, and daughters and mothers. This thesis serves to initiate this critical discussion. An analysis of Munro’s story, “Spelling,” provides fruitful material for the discussion of the discourse of caretaking. I track Rose’s caretaking journey by first discussing her entrapment in the gendered norms of caretaking. Then, I argue that Rose capitulates to the discourse of sacrificial caretaking by desiring to care for Flo in a full-time capacity.
