Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess
PRESS RELEASE: June 2011 11/5 Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess BFI Southbank Salutes the Hollywood Legend On 23 March 2011 Hollywood – and the world – lost a living legend when Dame Elizabeth Taylor died. As a tribute to her BFI Southbank presents a season of some of her finest films, this August, including Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Throughout her career she won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a further three, and, beauty aside, was known for her humanitarian work and fearless social activism. Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on 27 February 1932 to affluent American parents, and moved to the US just months before the outbreak of WWII. Retired stage actress Sara Southern doggedly promoted her daughter’s career as a child star, culminating in the hit National Velvet (1944), when she was just 12, and was instrumental in the reluctant teenager’s successful transition to adult roles. Her first big success in an adult role came with Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride (1950), before her burgeoning sexuality was recognised and she was cast as a wealthy young seductress in A Place in the Sun (1951) – her first on-screen partnership with Montgomery Clift (a friend to whom Taylor remained fiercely loyal until Clift’s death in 1966). Together they were hailed as the most beautiful movie couple in Hollywood history. The oil-epic Giant (1956) came next, followed by Raintree County (1958), which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination and saw Taylor reunited with Clift, though it was during the filming that he was in the infamous car crash that would leave him physically and mentally scarred.

As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

Segundo reza a história, foi a mulher de Lewis Milestone, grande amiga de Olivia de Havilland, quem sugeriu à estrela que fosse a correr ver a peça, dizendo que seria um veículo ideal para ela. De Havilland concordou e convenceu William Wyler a fazer o mesmo. A Paramount comprou os direitos e pediu aos autores para escreverem a versão cinematográfica. Hiller e Cookson foram despachados, mas Richardson foi escolhido para repetir o seu devastador desempenho na tela, na companhia de de Havilland e de um jovem actor que, até à data, tinha feito dois filmes: o mítico Red River de Howard Hawks e The Search de Fred Zinnemann.

Montgomery Clift's
Montgomery Clift’s ‘Longest Suicide in Hollywood’ Detailed in New Book “The Longest Suicide in Hollywood Explores the Last Years and Death of the 1950s Star SAN FRANCISCO, May 29, 2021: On May 12, 1956, Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor were in the midst of filming the MGM epic Raintree County. They were due to head off for location shooting when Taylor decided to throw a small dinner party at her home in Beverly Hills before the trip. In addition to Taylor and then-husband Michael Wilding, Rock Hudson, Phyllis Gates and Kevin McCarthy were joined by Montgomery Clift for a quiet evening at the secluded home. At about 12:30 am the party began to break up and Montgomery Clift headed home, following actor Kevin McCarthy down the winding roads in the hills above Hollywood. The night would forever alter the life of Montgomery Clift when he blacked out behind the wheel and drove off the road. Clift’s car cascaded off the side of the road, over an embankment and became wrapped around a telephone pole. He was found crumpled up under the dashboard, bloody and nearly dead. Now, 65 years later, a new book from Aplomb Publishing and author John William Law details the fateful night and the impact it had on Clift’s life as well as the filming of Raintree County. The Longest Suicide in Hollywood – The Death of Montgomery Clift will be published in print and ebook on July 23, 2021, on the 55th anniversary of Montgomery Clift’s death in 1966. With details from those who were there that night and the months it took for the actor to recover, The Longest Suicide in Hollywood chronicles the years of drug and alcohol abuse and the toll it took on Clift’s mind and body.

the director’s cut THE DIRECTOR’S CUT Freud’s Doppelgaenger, The Cut, and Deleted Scenes Geoffrey Garrison Contents Introduction 9 Freud’s Doppelgaenger 13 The Cut 157 Deleted Scenes 189 Bibliographical Essay 239 Introduction When the John Huston fi lm Freud the Secret Passion was dubbed into German, nineteen minutes of the English version were left out of the fi lm. This omission occupied the place of desire that led the short video The Cut, realized in 2005 with the support of the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands. I had originally proposed to fi nd the material left out of the German version of the fi lm as the basis for a piece—what exactly that art work would be, I did not know at the time. Three years later, I am putting the fi nishing touches on this book as a way of driving the last nail into the coffi n of what has been a long and obsessive production, with many detours. Taking its title from the practice of releasing expanded versions of fi lms on DVD, The Director’s Cut supplements the nineteen minute fi lm The Cut—nineteen minutes to fi ll, in a roundabout way, the space left by the deleted footage—by supplying some needed background and following some abandoned routes. The fi rst and longest screenplay, Freud’s Doppelgaenger, tells of the fi lming of Freud the Secret Passion through the life of Montgomery Clift, 10 i n t r o d u c t i o n Introduction 11 the actor who portrayed Freud in Huston’s fi lm.

This portrayal of the character was released to a backdrop of a world in tension, hitting theaters on the first official day of World War II, once Nazi Germany invaded Poland. In sharp contrast to its predecessor, however, the 1979 Murder by Decree pitted Holmes [Christopher Plummer] against what some might call the ‗phantom‘ menace of a fictionalized Jack the Ripper, following hot on the heels of both the Watergate scandal as well as the American feminist movement.
