  • Elizabeth Marianne Ploger January 24, 1934 - October 11, 2019
    Elizabeth Marianne Ploger January 24, 1934 - October 11, 2019 Elizabeth Marianne Ploger was born on January 24, 1934 at St. Mary’s hospital in Hoboken, New Jersey. She was the only child of Elsa and Walter Ploger and was raised in Jersey City, N.J. Liz and her parents spoke only German in the house. She learned to speak English in elementary school. Liz was an excellent student attending PS 27 (skipping two grades) and Dickinson High School where she graduated in June 1950 at age 16. In May 1953, Liz and her parents made a three month journey to Europe leaving New York City aboard the Queen Elizabeth to Cherbourg, France. They traveled throughout Europe. This trip developed a life-long love of travel that Liz and her parents enjoyed throughout their lives. Liz worked for Lowe’s Inc/MGM in New York City for seven years and jumped at the chance to move to Los Angeles when an in-house opportunity to transfer came up. She and her parents made the move to LA in 1957, purchasing a small home on Weddington Street in Sherman Oaks that Liz lived in until she developed the illness that would take her from us. She thrived in LA, and while continuing to work for Lowe’s/MGM she attended Los Angeles City College for two years, majoring in journalism. In 1971, Liz moved to Switzerland for a year. During her time in Lausanne, she traveled to England, Norway, Italy, Germany, and many points in between. After moving back to Los Angeles, Liz worked for the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond Company as well as Lion Country Safari.

  • The Shoah on Screen – Representing Crimes Against Humanity Big Screen, Film-Makers Generally Have to Address the Key Question of Realism
    Mémoi In attempting to portray the Holocaust and crimes against humanity on the The Shoah on screen – representing crimes against humanity big screen, film-makers generally have to address the key question of realism. This is both an ethical and an artistic issue. The full range of approaches has emember been adopted, covering documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions such as Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, depicting reality in all its details, and more symbolic films such as Roberto Benigni’s Life is beautiful. Some films have been very controversial, and it is important to understand why. Is cinema the best way of informing the younger generations about what moire took place, or should this perhaps be left, for example, to CD-Roms, videos Memoi or archive collections? What is the difference between these and the cinema as an art form? Is it possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit? Is emotion itself, though often very intense, not ambivalent? These are the questions addressed by this book which sets out to show that the cinema, a major art form today, cannot merely depict the horrors of concentration camps but must also nurture greater sensitivity among increas- Mémoire ingly younger audiences, inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. ireRemem moireRem The Shoah on screen – www.coe.int Representing crimes The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe.

    FOR FURTHER STUDY: DIRECTED BY IDA LUPINO COLLECTION RESOURCES Rumored to have been born underneath a dining room table during a Zeppelin raid over London in World War I, by 1933, at sixteen years old, Ida Lupino arrived in Hollywood appearing in films such as Search for Beauty (1934), Ready for Love (1934) and Anything Goes (1936). By the 1940s, Lupino became known for starring roles in notable films including They Drive by Night (1940), High Sierra (1941) and The Man I Love (1946). At the end of the decade, the actress founded her own independent production company where she would write, produce and direct several films – an uncommon accomplishment for any actor of her generation, especially as one of the only women directors in the industry during this period. As a feature film director, Lupino frequently captured a common theme of post-World World II domestic alienation, exploring ordinary citizens struggling amid Ida Lupino was one of the few women working behind social issues such as unwanted pregnancy (Not the camera in both film and television during the 1940s Wanted, 1949), polio (Never Fear, 1949) and rape – 1970s. In addition to her credits as a writer, director and producer, she continued to perform throughout her (Outrage, 1950). While active behind the camera, career. Lupino continued to star in films including On Dangerous Ground (1952), The Big Knife (1955) and While the City Sleeps (1956).

During the 1950s, Lupino crossed-over into television where she appeared in a wide range of series, including Mr.

  • MOVIE REVIEW: the HIGH and MIGHTY, OR the BIRTH of DISASTER FILMS for OUR ENTERTAINMENT Recently, a Friend of Mine Who Like
    MOVIE REVIEW: THE HIGH AND MIGHTY, OR THE BIRTH OF DISASTER FILMS FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT Recently, a friend of mine who like me, appreciates classic movies and television shows told me I needed to watch a film called "The High and Mighty" from 1954. I only knew the film by it's cover; the DVD having circulated fairly regularly at the library over the years. One reason I probably only had a passing interest in it; is because it stars John Wayne. While I don't dislike John Wayne and I love a good western, I've never really been a big fan. But having said that, I can't say that I've ever seen a John Wayne film that I didn't like. And although John Wayne is billed as the star, he's really only one of it's many stars. In fact, as I subtitled my title, this film is really a precursor of the disaster films that would thrive in the 1970's, such as Airport, the Towering Inferno, and Soylent Green. These movies, like The High and Mighty, would feature all star casts of actors. Where else are you going to find Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, William Holden, and Fred Asaire in the same movie? Disaster films it seemed, were a novel way to get a bunch of well known actors together in one movie. While many of the actors in the High and Mighty may not be all that familiar to audiences today, most were well known at that time. Robert Stack would go on to play in the Untouchables TV series in the early 1960's.
