(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.
