To my father: nereden nereye. Acknowledgements If there is one person responsible for this project, it is my father, Huseyin Ozyurtcu. For over thirty years, he has been my biggest influence and my best friend. Together with my late my mother, he taught me to love knowledge, think independently, and trust my instincts. In his love and unwavering support, I have found the strength and confidence to be myself. I owe him everything. I am also very grateful for my stepmother Vanessa, my brother Marcos, and my sister Yasmin. It has been almost ten years since our families came together and I cannot imagine life without them—to be in their presence is to know how good life can be. I consider myself fortunate to have had the support of Dr. Jan Todd since I began my graduate education in 2008. As my dissertation advisor, Dr. Todd gave me the freedom, encouragement, and feedback necessary to complete a large and ambitious project.

  • Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and Involved an Axelrod-Like Writer, a Monroe-Like Star, and a Satanic Agent Who Collected Percentages of Souls Rather Than Salaries
    The American Century Theater presents by George Axelrod Audience Guide Written and compiled by Jack Marshall January 15–February 6 Theatre II, Gunston Arts Center Theater you can afford to seesee———— ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. This arts event is made possible in part by the Virginia Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as by many generous donors.

  • Newsmaker: Mariska Hargitay Mariska
    Newsmaker: Mariska Hargitay Mariska Hargitay is known to many as Det. Olivia Benson of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Her works off-screen helping victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse are more noteworthy, though less known. In 2004, Hargitay founded the Joyful Heart Foundation to “to heal, educate and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and to shed light into the darkness that surrounds these issues.” http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/ourprograms.htm The Foundation’s mission is directly linked to Hargitay’s role on SVU; her fan letters included many from victims who reached out to her and spoke of the violence they had suffered. http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/ourstory.htm Hargitay was moved to help, both by providing resources and by using her celebrity to advocate for victims. Hargitay was born in Los Angeles in January 1964 to actress/sex symbol Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, an actor, body-builder and former Mr. Universe. (You may recall the 1980 movie The Jayne Mansfield Story, which starred Loni Anderson as Mansfield and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mickey Hargitay.) In addition to Mariska, Mansfield and Hargitay had two sons together. The three children they shared were in the car during the June 1967 accident that took Mansfield’s life, as well as the lives of her boyfriend and the driver. Mariska, 3 ½ at the time, was left with a scar on her face. As with most actresses, Hargitay held a number of roles before winning the one that defines her career. She began with beauty pageants and music videos in the early 1980s, before being cast opposite Christopher Meloni in SVU in 1999.

  • Diamonds to Dust
    Press Kit for Diamonds to Dust A Film by Rob Villano Premiere May 31, 2014 Hoboken International Film Festival Press Contact: Frank Ferruccio CEO Ferruccio Enterprises 181 Kendall Road Kendall Park, NJ 08824 732-297-2548 Synopsis Mansfield was a legend just like Marilyn Monroe. They were both bleached blonds with hourglass figures, were married three times and had numerous lovers, and each appeared in 29 films. The only real difference is Jayne had five children and Marilyn had none. They both died tragically in their thirties... so why is Marilyn Monroe so remembered and Jayne not at all? Jayne Mansfield was an amazing woman with an IQ of 163. She played the violin and piano, had a degree in Science, spoke five languages fluently, and became a celebrity by portraying a dumb blond. Within one year of moving to Hollywood she starred in her first film. By the age of 23, she was the most publicized Hollywood star in the world. Marilyn Monroe's own studio, 20Th Century Fox, signed Jayne Mansfield to an exclusive seven year contract. Jayne starred in four big budget films back to back with Fox which catapulted her career to stardom. When Marilyn settled her legendary dispute with the studio, Jayne abruptly became yesterday's news. Jayne Mansfield spent the next 9 years of her short life searching for highs like she had experienced as a newcomer in Hollywood. When they didn't happen onscreen she turned to the tabloids. Having children, getting married and divorced, and parading the world with scores of lovers took its toll on Jayne.

  • Issue #67 Winter/Spring 2007
    Issue #67 Winter/Spring 2007 Featuring: Dolores Claman Interview, English Film Dubbing: Brendan Young Interview, TASTE OF KILLING Review, BOOT HILL, DVD Reviews WAI! #67 The Swingin’ Doors Well welcome to our first try at an on-line edition of Westerns… All’Italiana! With this issue we finally are using modern technology in launching an edition of the fanzine by using the world-wide-web. We’ve come along way from Tim Ferrante’s early Xeroxed editions and the old print and paste method of producing a fanzine. I ran this idea by several of the long time readers and they said, “Heck yes!” The quality is great and you can always print out a copy for your personal pleasure. I will continue to send printed copies to those of you who still wish to have it that way. The content will be the same and it really is easier to do it this way and send it to as many of you who want it. I can store the issues and can send them to new readers. I can stay on top of things as they happen and hopefully we can do more issues per year. We should reach a larger audience and be able to bring in new information for all of us to share. The limits are endless and I sure want to thank all of you out there in Cyberspace for the interest in the fanzine and the genre. We haven’t had this much available to us through DVD, CD and websites since the genre was in it’s prime 35 years ago.
