  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors And
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors and Actresses Depicting Famous People: The Weekly News of December 11, 2006, was entitled “Let’s Go to the Movies.” When I was young during the Golden Age of Hollywood, I loved the movies, culminating in the Club House Theater in Yorklyn, which I operated for two seasons in 1947 and 1948. From the 1930s through the ‘50s, leading stars of the screen were under contract with the big studios and often took roles not to their liking. Among the features during this period was the portrayal of American heroes in full-length films, which carried over to historical documentaries on TV. The earlier movies took liberties with actual facts, but they were popular. Big name stars were often asked to portray historical figures. Sometimes they were honored to do it; often they “had to.” Following is the list of those I can recall. Spencer Tracy: Clarence Darrow, Father Flanagan, Christopher Jones, Jimmy Doolittle, Thomas Edison, Robert Rogers. Edward Arnold: Pawnee Bill, Daniel Webster Walter Hampden: Thomas Jefferson Hal Holbrook: John Adams, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln Henry Fonda: Abraham Lincoln James Stewart: Glenn Miller, Charles A. Lindbergh Cary Grant: Cole Porter Don Ameche: Alexander Graham Bell, Stephen Foster James Cagney: George M.

  • Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History by Quinlan Miller
    Reviewed by Ken Feil Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History by Quinlan Miller. Duke University Press. 2019. 232 pages. $99.95 hardcover; $25.95 paper; also available in e-book. In Camp TV: Trans Gender Queer Sitcom History, Quinlan Miller presents a revelatory historical reassessment of the US network sitcom of the 1950s and 1960s in addition to rethinking camp, an ironic performance and reception sensibility usually associated with white, gay male culture. Arguing that non- binary gender is a constitutive element of both camp and situation comedy formulas, Miller disputes the assumptions of both television history and camp studies with meticulous research spanning institutional procedures, social- historical context, and textual features. The subject of camp remains marginal in television studies, as W. D. Phillips and Isabel Pinedo recently observed, despite holding a pivotal position in television history.1 Genealogies of cult TV, furthermore, have rendered camp either invisible or hovering in the fringes.2 Miller confirms the centrality of camp to television aesthetics at the same time as they challenge the typical historical narrative of camp TV, which begins in the 1960s with the iconic network series Batman (ABC, 1966– 1968) and the burgeoning mainstream currency of “camp” sensibility generated by 1 W. D. Phillips and Isabel Pinedo, “Gilligan and Captain Kirk Have More in Common Than You Think: 1960s Camp TV as an Alternative Genealogy for Cult TV,” Journal of Popular Television 6, no. 1 (2018): 23– 27, https://doi.org/10.1386/jptv.6.1.19_1. 2 Phillips and Pinedo, “Gilligan and Captain Kirk,” 21– 23; Philippe Le Guern, “Toward a Constructivist Approach to Media Cults,” in Cult Television, ed.
