(August 2012) Evleen Michelle Nasir, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirsten Pullen There is a discursive formation of incapability that surrounds senior women’s sexuality. Senior women are incapable of reproduction, mastering their bodies, or arousing sexual desire in themselves or others. The senior actresses’ I explore in the case studies below insert their performances of self and their everyday lives into the large and complicated discourse of sex, producing a counter-narrative to sexually inactive senior women. Their performances actively embody their sexuality outside the frame of a character. This thesis examines how senior actresses’ performances of sexuality extend a discourse of sexuality imposed on older woman by mass media. These women are the public face of senior women’s sexual agency.

  • Joan Rivers Saturday, May 5
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 15, 2011 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS JOAN RIVERS SATURDAY, MAY 5 Richmond, BC – The one and only Joan Rivers is a force of nature whose career skyrocketed in 1965 when after performing in comedy clubs for nearly a decade, she appeared on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Within three years she was hosting That Show with Joan Rivers which was one of the first syndicated daytime shows on television before becoming the first sole guest host of The Tonight Show in 1983. Joan then hosted her own late night talk show, The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers which aired on FOX in 1986. Three years later, she returned to daytime television with The Joan Rivers Show … a syndicated talk show where she won an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Talk Show Host” in 1990. That same year, she launched her fashion jewelry line on QVC achieving unprecedented and continued success with record-breaking 300 million dollars plus in sales. Her line is also featured here in Canada on The Shopping Channel. In 2009, Donald Trump “hired” Joan as the winner on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice where she earned more than $500,000 for God’s Love We Deliver … a New York City-based organization that prepares and delivers meals to people living with illnesses. That same year, she was the guest of honour on the Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers. Earlier this year, she and her daughter, Melissa Rivers starred on their own reality television series, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best which airs on the US cable channel, WE tv.

When she died in September 2014, of complications during a routine throat operation, the Anglosphere media reacted with an overwhelming expression of collective surprise. This is at least partly because, despite being 81 years old, Rivers maintained a relentless schedule of live performances and televised appearances up to almost the moment of her death. In January 2014 alone, for instance, she appeared live four times on the shopping network QVC, selling her own branded products; recorded three episodes of her internet talk show, In Bed With Joan; and performed seven full length, hour long, solo concert shows as a stand-up in casinos, theatres and supper clubs as far apart as Arizona and Michigan.

LEADERSHIP AWARD MUSICAL PERFORMANCE Melissa Rivers Eva LaRue BEATRICE STERN MEDIA AWARD EMCEE April 28, 2016 Your Supporters, The Beverly Hilton Merle and Peter Mullin 9876 Wilshire Boulevard Beverly Hills, CA 90210 DIDI HIRSCH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES The idea that mental illness is shameful grew out of fear and ignorance about its causes, effects and treatments. Today, we know more about brain chemistry and its disturbances than ever before, yet stigma around mental illness persists. In 1997, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services took a lead role in sparking positive conversations about mental illness by honoring Tipper Gore at its first Erasing the Stigma Leadership Awards. Since she candidly shared her history of depression, we have honored researchers, physicians, writers, actors, musicians, sports figures and others who have kept the conversation going. Thanks to their BEATRICE STERN MEDIA AWARD advocacy, we have made significant progress in erasing the stigma of mental illness, which will affect half of us sometime in our lives. In 2007, Beatrice Stern established the Beatrice Stern Media Award to recognize creative individuals who use the media to help erase the stigma of mental illness. A dear friend of Didi Hirsch, Bea believed that the constructive power of media can change hearts and minds as well as influence policy. The Media Award honors people in film, television, print, Internet or social media who have used their power to enlighten us about mental illness and inspire hope.
