    ‘ICE DREAMS’ CAST BIOS SHELLEY LONG (Harriet Clayton) – Shelley Long is an Emmy® and Golden Globe-winning actress. She began her career after attending Northwestern University by performing in small films and local theater, eventually becoming co-host and associate producer of a critically acclaimed Chicago magazine show “Sorting it Out,” for which she won three local Emmys. She eventually returned to her first passion, acting, and joined Chicago’s famed Second City improvisational comedy troupe. Shortly after, Long landed a role as barmaid Diane Chambers in the long-running NBC comedy “Cheers.” Long entertained audiences for five seasons, garnering an Emmy and two Golden Globes. She returned for the series’ top-rated finale and has reprised her “Cheers” role in guest appearances on NBC’s “Frasier,” one episode garnering an Emmy nomination. Long recently starred in a film short titled “A Couple of White Chicks at the Hairdresser,” and starred in a children’s DVD, “Mr. Vinegar and the Curse.” In 2006, Long starred in “Honeymoon With Mom” on Lifetime, and co-starred in the Hallmark Channel Valentine’s Day movie, “Falling In Love with the Girl Next Door.” She has made a number of guest TV appearances including “Boston Legal,” “Yes, Dear, “Joan of Arcadia,” “Complete Savages” and, most recently, ABC’s hit comedy “Modern Family.” Long was seen in the Robert Altman film “Dr. T and the Women” for Artisan Entertainment. Written by Anne Rapp and executive produced by Cindy Cowan and James McLindon, the film tells the story of a gynecologist, played by Richard Gere, who is battling a mid-life crisis.

  • Chicago's Second City Comedy Group to Appear One Night Only in the UCSD Mandeville Center
    Chicago's Second City comedy group to appear one night only in the UCSD Mandeville Center September 9, 1988 Contact: Ruth Baily, University Events Office, 534-4090 or Alixandra Williams, Public Information Office, 534-3120 CHICAGO'S SECOND CITY COMEDY GROUP TO APPEAR ONE NIGHT ONLY AT UCSD ON OCTOBER 3 The touring group of Chicago's famed comedy theatre, Second City, will appear at 8 p.m. October 3 in the Mandeville Center at the University of California, San Diego. Second City became the parent of improvisation more than 25 years ago and, in doing so, changed the face of American comedy. Since then, each decade has brought a wave of such notables as Mike Nichols, Elaine May and Ed Asner, followed by Jerry Stiller, Joan Rivers, Shelly Berman, Anne Meara and Alan Arkin, and later by Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and the brothers Belushi. From Second City in Chicago and (later) Toronto came the first headliners for the television show "Saturday Night Live": John Belushi, Bill Murray, Aykroyd and Radner. Second City also fueled the television series "SCTV Comedy Network," produced by the Toronto chapter. The show was aired by NBC in the late-Friday-night slot. Movies also felt the influence of Second City theatre, with such films as "Animal House," "Meatballs," "Stripes," and "Caddyshack." Second City member Harold Ramis, who was a regular from 1969 through the mid-1970s, co- wrote "Animal House" which featured John Belushi. Second City stars also made the cast of other projects. Joyce Sloan, Second City's producer for its entire history, said the touring company's performers will eventually become the people who perform in the resident company.

    A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE CARLIN HOSTED BY WHOOPI GOLDBERG March 24, 2010 LIVE from the New York Public Library www.nypl.org/live Celeste Bartos Forum GEORGE CARLIN: To get around a lot of this, I decided to worship the sun, but as I said, I don’t pray to the sun. You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. (laughter/applause) Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons. First of all, I think he’s a good actor, okay? To me that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. (laughter/applause) Joe Pesci doesn’t fuck around. (laughter/applause) Doesn’t fuck around. In fact—in fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with. For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. (laughter/applause) LIVECarlin_3.24TranscriptQUERIES 1 There is no God. None. Not one. No God, never was. In fact, I’m going to put it this way. If there is a God, if there is a God, may he strike this audience dead. (laughter/applause) See, nothing happened. Nothing happened, everybody’s okay. Tell you what. Tell you what. I’ll raise the stakes, I’ll raise the stakes a little bit. If there is a God, may he strike me dead. See, nothing happened. Wait.

  • METRO DINER More Than Coffee: New York's Vanishing Diner Culture
    George Blecher (b. 1941) is an American writer, journalist and translator. He was born and lives in New York City. He is a former teacher at City University of New York. The article was published in The New York Times in 2016. METRO DINER METRO DINER Metro Diner, at 100th Street and Broadway in Manhattan, opened in 1989. Credit An Rong Xu for The New York Times George Blecher More Than Coffee: New York’s Vanishing Diner Culture For the past 25 years – since the divorce – I’ve lived a good part of my life in diners. Without them I might be slimmer, but also crazier and more unhappy. Judging by the crowds at the Metro Diner, on 100th Street and Broadway, my current haunt, I suspect that other New Yorkers feel the same way. To say that the Metro has become my second home would be too vague and sentimental. Better to use the 5 sociological term “the third place” (home and work being the first two), or to quote Robert Frost, the place “where, when you have to go there/ They have to take you in1.” American coffee shops, like English pubs, Viennese coffee houses and Greek kaffenions, tend to engender klatches, informal clubs. At the old Key West Diner on 94th Street and Broadway, now known as the Manhattan Diner, the laughter of the comedian Anne Meara2 and her friends used to fill the room. And where would the 10 sitcom classic Seinfeld3, the idea of which was conceived in a coffee shop, have been without the regular scenes at Monk’s Café? The best days of the New York City diner, however, appear to be over.
