The room was lush with palm trees, bamboo, tapa, coconuts and even sported a periodic tropical rainstorm, said Greg Traynor, who visited with his family in 1940. The Hawaiian entertainers were the best in the world. The Hawaiian Room was so successful it created a wave of South Seas bars and restaurants that swept the country after World War II. In this column, we'll hear from some of the women who sang and danced there. They call themselves Ex-Lexes. courtesy Mona Joy Lum, Hula Preservation Society / 1957Some of the singers and dancers at the Hawaiian Room in the Lexington Hotel. The women relished the opportunity to "Singing at the Hawaiian Room was the high point of my life," perform on such a marquee stage. said soprano Mona Joy Lum. "I told my mother, if I could sing on a big stage in New York, I would be happy. And I got to do that." Lum said the Hawaiian Room was filled every night. "It could hold about 150 patrons.

  • Larry Lasker
    LARRY LASKER Although I grew up with parents in the movie business, I always intended to make a career in medicine. After college I returned to work with the doctor I had worked for during summer vacations, but started spending more and more time hanging out at the American Film Institute, where my brother Albert (now Alex) was enrolled, attending seminars and screenings and crewing for student films, until the doctor finally suggested I seemed more interested in movies than medicine and maybe I should get that out of my system... I worked as a prop man for a while and then landed a job as a script reader with United Artists, a job my brother had vacated to write his first screenplay, and I read so many lousy scripts with fancy names attached to them I finally decided I could do at least as badly myself and quit after a year and a half to write one with my college friend Walter Parkes. I had seen a TV show about Stephen Hawking and was fascinated by the idea that one day he might figure out the unified field theory but, due to his condition, wouldn't be able to communicate it to anyone. This suggested he needed someone to mentor, who could understand him, and this in turn suggested the character of a troubled kid who was was too smart for his environment. When I was a reader, I learned that executives almost never read anything themselves, they read "coverage', the 2 or 3 pages we readers write to summarize scripts ‐‐ and even the 15‐ or 20‐page "treatments" writers submit for script proposals.

Historical Background 7. Map Activity 8. Discriminatory Housing Practices And School Segregation 9. Did They Get What They Wanted, But Lose What They Had? 10. Images 11. Maps 12. Citations 1. California Curriculum Content Standard, History/Social Science, 11th Grade: 11.10.2 — Examine and analyze the key events, policies, and court cases in the evolution of civil rights, including Dred Scott v.

CENTRAL HISTORICAL QUESTION: Considering issues of race, housing, and the struggle for civil rights in post-World War II Los Angeles, how valid is the statement from some in the African American community looking back: “We got what we wanted, but we lost what we had”? Before WWII: • 1940s and 1950s - Segregation in housing. • Shelley v. Kraemer, 1948 and Barrows vs. Jackson, 1953 – U.S. Supreme Court decisions abolish. • Map activities - Internet-based research on the geographic and demographic movements of the African American community in Los Angeles. • Locating homes of prominent African Americans. • Shift of African Americans away from central city to middle-class communities outside of the ghetto, resulting in a poorer and more segregated central city.

TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end.

  • When Quincy Jones
    BY CHRIS HEATH PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROBERT MAXWELL 4 days ago Frank Sinatra. Michael Jackson. Ray Charles. Malcolm X. Elon Musk. Truman Capote. Buzz Aldrin. Prince. Tupac. Even Leni Riefenstahl. Quincy Jones has run with them all. Chris Heath stays up late with the 84-year-old music legend who has a tale to go with every famous name. ......................................... "I feel like I'm just starting," Quincy Jones explains as he slowly takes a seat in the grand living room of his hilltop Bel-Air mansion, a wide arc of nighttime Los Angeles visible through the windows in front of him. "It seems like at 84 all the things you used to wonder about come clear to you." TRENDING THIS VERY SECOND entertainment Quincy Jones Has a Story About That So he begins. He begins talking about his life. It's a life punctuated by so many disparate encounters and achievements and circumstances that it is hard to believe they are the experiences of a single man. There is a lot of talking to do. 1. The Oscar was awarded in 1994 for his humanitarian work. He won the Emmy for the soundtrack to Roots and the Tony for the revival of the musical The Color Purple. He has won 28 Grammy Awards. There is the career, of course: the jazz musician, the arranger, the record executive, the soundtrack composer, the solo artist, the producer of the biggest pop album in history, the entrepreneur, the media magnate, the film and TV producer, the philanthropist…and on and on. Jones is one of just a handful of people who have accomplished the EGOT—winner of at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

  • You People Almost Had Me Hating You Because of the Color of Your Skin” Symbolic Violence and Black In-Group Racism in Percival Everett’S I Am Not Sidney Poitier
    “You People Almost Had Me Hating You Because of the Color of Your Skin” Symbolic Violence and Black In-Group Racism in Percival Everett’s I Am Not Sidney Poitier JOHANNES KOHRS imagine!...words were coming…a voice she did not recognize…at first…so long since it had sounded…then finally had to ad- mit…could be none other…than her own. SAMUEL BECKETT / NOT I What does it mean to be not Sidney Poitier? More precisely: What does it mean to be black, male but not Sidney Poitier? Or, more precisely and con- fusingly: What does it mean to be black, male but not Sidney Poitier and have, as prime social identifier, a name that proclaims this very differential status? These questions lie at the core of I Am Not Sidney Poitier (hence- forth: Not Sidney). The 2009 satiric novel by African American author Percival Everett portrays the absurdly funny, crisis-ridden coming of age of the wealthy black orphan Not Sidney Poitier. The novel’s eponymous nar- rator struggles for (self-)recognition in an episodic rite of passage through the starkly satirized cultural scene of the 1980s and 90s U.S. Due to his peculiar name the Sidney Poitier look-alike Not Sidney sets off a sequence of ragingly racist episodes, all of which parody various film- ic Sidney Poitier scenarios. In one of these, Everett changes the interracial conflict negotiated in the Poitier movie Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? 124 | JOHANNES KOHRS (dir. Stanley Kramer, 1967; henceforth: Guess) into an intraracial confron- tation. Here, as a victim of in-group racism in the social domain of a black upper class family, Not Sidney is marginalized not by way of overt, physi- cally transacted racial oppression but on the basis of what Pierre Bourdieu has termed symbolic violence.1 By juxtaposing the icon of benign black masculinity, Sidney Poitier, with his elusive character Not Sidney Poitier, Everett insinuates a race-based analogy between the Civil Rights conflicts at the peak of Poitier’s career and the multiculturalist entertainment indus- try in the era satirized in Not Sidney.
