Problems are intrepid to all of us. Like last month, we’re at the Silver Dollar Stack pancake house, when bang! We’ve reared right back into this guy’s minivan. Guy gets out real steamed, saying he’s going to call 911 and get the police over. My mind is spinning like bicycle pedals on a downhill. I’ve got a D‐Dub from driving home from a high school party nine months back, and here we are in the parking lot not having learned our lesson, Ted drinking rum in his orange juice. I can see the whole scenario in cop eyes. “Dump it,” I told Ted.

  • Ellie Dean Warren Pendleton Aug
    Ellie Dean Warren Pendleton Aug. 29, 1930 ~ Jan. 8, 2021 If you noticed that the world felt a little less bright on Friday, January 08, 2021, it was because Ellie Dean Warren Pendleton (90) of Salt Lake City (SLC) — a compassionate soul with many talents and a phenomenal wit, embarked on her next adventure, rejoining her eternal companion, M. Keith Pendleton. Those who knew her called her by first name, of course, but also, she was Daughter, Granddaughter, Sister, Cousin, Wife, Mom, Aunt, Ellie Oma/Grandma, Great-grandma, Sister Pendleton, Mrs. Pendleton, and Teacher. When one of the aforementioned conditions didn’t fit — although she never allowed a silly thing like genetics from holding you back from using a familial term — you surely called her Friend. Ellie was born on August 29, 1930, in SLC to Charles Albert Warren and Effie Dean Woolley Warren. She had an enterprising single mom, one who moved the family multiple times in search of the best opportunities. This semi-nomadic experience influenced Ellie’s resiliency, ingenuity, and appreciation for diversity. As a five-year-old, she began cooking for her older brothers and performing household chores, so her mother could focus on working and providing necessities for their family unit. Ellie reported that her mother, who was a hair stylist, or beautician as the profession was known then, would experiment on her with the latest colors, bleaching, permanents (“perms”), and styles — some of which had less-than-ideal outcomes. Because her mother recognized Ellie’s natural beauty, she enrolled a young Ellie in an open casting for a movie production company that was looking for a child actress similar to Shirley Temple.

  • The Face of a Saint
    one The Face of a Saint From the beginning, Montgomery Clift was hailed as exceptional. In December 1948, Life magazine featured an earnest Clift on its cover over the title “New Male Movie Stars.” While the other candidates for stardom (including Richard Widmark, Ricardo Montalban, Louis Jourdan, Peter Lawford, and Farley Granger) were presented as a group, Clift had already been singled out. 1 “Clift, 28, heads the list of new male movie discoveries,” Life proclaimed. 2 This pronouncement was widely seconded at the time and would be reiterated for decades. One critic, comparing him with con - temporaries Marlon Brando and James Dean fifty years later, asserted that Clift was “the purest, and least mannered of these actors, perhaps the most sensitive, certainly the most poetic. He was also remarkably beautiful.” 3 Spencer Tracy put it more bluntly: “He makes most of today’s young play - ers look like bums.” 4 One distinct advantage Clift had over the other newcomers in Decem - ber 1948 was the recent release of his first two films, The Search and Red River. The first appeared in March, the second in September. As with much of Clift’s legend, the question of which film should be considered his first is subject to debate. Although The Search was the first to appear in theaters, Red River was the first film Clift made, having been produced two years earlier and its release delayed. Choosing to begin with one film over the other has important conse - quences, not least raising the question of whether we give precedence to the actor’s experience or to that of the viewer.
