Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • 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.

  • Report to the U. S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2010
    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2010 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage April 14, 2011 Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2010 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. Twelve years have passed since the NFPF gave its first film preservation grant, and it is tremendously heartening to see how far we have come. At that time, only the largest institutions had the money and know-how to preserve their film collections. Now, thanks to the federal funding secured by the Library of Congress and resources contributed by the entertainment industry, we have broadened the playing field and enabled 217 archives, libraries, and museums across 48 states to step up to the plate. These efforts have rescued 1,706 films that might otherwise have been lost—newsreels, docu- mentaries, silent-era features, avant-garde films, home movies, industrials, and independent productions that record our history and culture. Films preserved through the NFPF programs are used widely in education and reach audiences everywhere through exhibition, television, video, and the Internet. Repatriation is the newest film preservation frontier. In 2009, I reported the beginnings of a ground- breaking collaboration to preserve and make available American silent-era films discovered at the New Zealand Film Archive.
