After the 1969 demise of the genre’s one true early hit, Peyton Place, the soap had languished, asleep, through most of the 1970s. Then, in the spring of 1978, CBS did Dallas. Dallas brought Texas-sized drama to the small screen, and soon notched the No. 1 spot in TV’s Nielsen ratings. In the fall of 1979, CBS introduced Dallas spinoff Knots Landing, and in December 1981 came a third hit, Falcon Crest. The juicy, wine industry-set Falcon Crest would prove to be the decade’s last successful soap. ABC’s Dynasty spinoff The Colbys quickly fi zzled, and NBC never found serialized success, with fl ops including Flamingo Road, Berrenger’s and 1983’s Yellow Rose— also set, suspiciously enough, on a Texas ranch.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Microfilmed - 1064 Information to Users
    MICROFILMED - 1064 INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they ari spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note wfll appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—bepnning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

  • Oscar-Winning Actress Jane Wyman Dies
    Oscar-winning actress Jane Wyman dies RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Oscar-winning actress Jane Wyman, once married to future president Ronald Reagan, joined the Catholic Church as an adult and became a benefactor to several Catholic causes. Ms. Wyman died Sept. 10 at her home in Rancho Mirage. The cause of death was not disclosed. While her age was placed at 90, other sources suggested she may have been 93. “The death of Ms. Wyman marks the loss not only of a great actress, but a great woman of faith and a personal friend,” said a Sept. 10 statement from Bishop Gerald R. Barnes of San Bernardino. “Her support of the work of the Catholic Church in the Coachella Valley and the Diocese of San Bernardino made possible many wonderful things, including the Blessed Junipero Serra House of Formation,” Bishop Barnes said. Ms. Wyman also was a strong supporter of Hollywood’s Covenant House and Our Lady of Angels Monastery. She also reportedly went to Mass with fellow Catholic actress Loretta Young, who died in 2000. She won an Oscar for her portrayal of deaf-mute Belinda McDonald, who is made pregnant from rape and becomes a source of scandal, in 1948’s “Johnny Belinda.” She also was nominated three other times for roles in “The Yearling” (1946), as the backwoods wife of Gregory Peck; “The Blue Veil” (1951), as a nursemaid viewed over many decades; and “Magnificent Obsession” (1954), as a blind woman romanced by the playboy who accidentally killed her husband. Her breakout role was in the 1938 movie “Brother Rat,” where she met Mr.

  • Bob Crutchfield
    Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub November 19, 2014 Going a Long Way with “Janie”: BOB CRUTCHFIELD Crossed Jane Wyman’s Paths More Than Once Interview by THOMAS J. PUCHER (German FALCON CREST Fan Club) Bob Crutchfield, who worked as Senior Vice President TV Publicity at Lorimar Productions between 1980 and 1986, and I met on a social network on the Internet. I instantly realized that he would be a great interviewee. After exchanging a few private messages, we decided to switch to e-mail communication and finally set up an ap- pointment for a phone interview. He lives in the Palm Springs area and mentioned that, whenever he comes near the Rancho Mirage Country Club or drives by, he always says “Hi, Janie,” thinking of Jane Wyman because that is where she moved in 1996; she had a small home on the golf course and spent the final years of her life there until she passed away in 2007. Bob mentioned that he sometimes realizes that she is gone only after he murmurs his hello. It is probably because he and Jane go back such a long way. Getting to Know Jane Wyman “She and I were friends long before Falcon Crest. I was working for a private PR firm,” Bob began to explain how he first met Jane. He pointed out that the company he worked for went bankrupt and that he was fortunate to land a job with a well - estab- lished Hollywood agency, which represented many of the major movie stars at that time in the late 1960’s.
