  • WWII Real Hollywood Heroes
    On The Flip Side of Hollywood In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's "Hollywonk" the real actors of yester- year loved the United States. They had both class and integrity. With the advent of World War many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love. They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men & women, many as simple "enlisted men". This page lists but a few, but from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor, spanning from Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, Distinguish Service Cross', Purple Hearts and one Congressional Medal of Honor. So remember; while the "Entertainers of 2003" have been in all of the news media lately (for it seems Newspaper, Television and Radio has been more than ready to put them and their anti-American, anti-Bush message before the public) I would like to remind the people of what the entertainers of 1943 were doing, (60 years ago). Most of these brave men have since passed on. Real Hollywood Heros Alec Guinness (Star Wars) operated a British Royal Navy landing craft on D-Day. James Doohan ("Scotty" on Star Trek) landed in Normandy with the U. S. Army on D-Day. Donald Pleasance (The Great Escape) really was an R. A. F. pilot who was shot down, held prisoner and tortured by the Germans. David Niven was a Sandhurst graduate and Lt. Colonel of the British Commandos in Normandy. James Stewart Entered the Army Air Force as a private and worked his way to the rank of Colonel.

  • Al Pacino Retrospective at BFI Southbank February – March 2014
    Al Pacino Retrospective at BFI Southbank February – March 2014 16 January 2014, London. Throughout February and March BFI Southbank will celebrate the career of one of the world’s most popular living stage and screen actors, Al Pacino. Starring in some of the most iconic roles of all time, Pacino’s illustrious career has spanned from such classics as The Godfather Trilogy (1972, 1974 & 1990), Scarface (1983), and Serpico (1973) to Sea of Love (1989), Scent of a Woman (1992) and Insomnia (2001). The recipient of countless awards, including an Oscar, 5 Golden Globes, 2 Emmys, a BAFTA and 2 Tonys, Pacino’s acting talents are undisputable; however, he has not always been content to stay in front of the camera, taking on directing duties for Looking for Richard (1996), Chinese Coffee (2000), Wilde Salomé (2011) and most recently Salomé (2013). From a career that has (so far) produced over 40 film roles, the BFI Southbank season will screen 20 of his greatest films, with the centrepiece of the season being an Extended Run of a 4K restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterly The Godfather Part II (1974), which returns to cinemas in a nationwide release from 21 February. Pacino studied acting first at the Herbert Berghof Studio, then under Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York (where he is currently co-president alongside Ellen Burstyn and Harvey Keitel). During this time Pacino performed a number of minor stage roles, which eventually led to his breakthrough film role in The Panic in Needle Park (1971). Under the direction of Jerry Schatzberg, (whom he would work with again on the Palme d’Or winning Scarecrow) Pacino shone as a young New Yorker addicted to heroin.
