Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

    MADE MEN: THE WHITENING OF ITALIAN-AMERICANS 1950-1975 ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History ____________________________________ By Amanda Bisesi Thesis Committee Approval: Robert McLain, Department of History, Chair Steven Smith, Departments of History and Psychology Susie Woo, Department of American Studies Spring, 2017 ABSTRACT This study argues that in the decades following the end of the Second World War, Italian-Americans achieved the status of “whiteness” in the United States due to the increasing popularity and romanticization of Italians in American pop culture. Through analyzing the growth in popularity of Italian celebrities in the 1950-60s, and the cultural impact of The Godfather films in the 1970s, the shifting image and whitening of Italians in the American mind can be seen clearly and understood. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................. iv 1.

When specific actors and actresses suddenly became valuable, sought-after property, when the ticket-selling faces took on names, then the star system was born. Or as Kenneth Anger puts it, "Cinemaland was cursed in its cra dle that fateful by chimera, the 'Star'" (28). The cult of celebrity experi enced such rapid and prodigious expansion that by the middle years of the current century audiences were accustomed to being persuaded that they had special and privileged access to the off-screen, day-to-day lives of the "stars." In certain circumstances, fans found themselves encouraged by stu dio publicity mechanisms to attempt to erode the boundaries separating the individual from ego the personality of the celebrity, thereby allowing rhe fan to identify completely with the blessed life of the star.

  • Comic Actor Dom Deluise Dies at Age 75
    Comic actor Dom DeLuise dies at age 75 WASHINGTON – Dom DeLuise, the Catholic comic actor who mastered the double- take look of surprise on film, died May 4 at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., after a long illness. He was 75. First bursting into national consciousness with guest appearances on TV’s “The Gary Moore Show,” he cemented his fame with his appearances in some of Mel Brooks’ zaniest movie spoofs, including “Blazing Saddles,” “Spaceballs,” “Silent Movie” and “History of the World Part 1.” DeLuise also partnered with Burt Reynolds in several movies, among them “Smoky and the Bandit II,” “The End,” “The Cannonball Run” and “Cannonball Run II.” In a 2006 interview with Monsignor James Lisante for the priest’s TV show, “Personally Speaking,” DeLuise told of his fealty for Mary. “People give me Blessed Mothers,” DeLuise said in an interview “I have one here, I have one there. I have them all over the house.” “I said to my wife – before we had all these Blessed Mothers – ‘I want a Blessed Mother, but only a small one.’ We pull over to the side of the road, and there’s a Blessed Mother. But the smallest one was only about 3 feet (tall). “I don’t mind them. I like them. They give me comfort,” DeLuise noted. “The Blessed Mother is someone that I pray to all the time, and in fact, I use her as a mantra. When I’m in my car and there’s traffic, ‘Hail Mary, full of grace …,’ ” he said, reciting the complete prayer.

  • Chapter Seven: the Main Event – Round One – 1958-1970 the Contest for Supremacy in Western Australian Commercial Television TVW7 Versus STW9
    Chapter Seven: The Main Event – Round One – 1958-1970 The Contest for Supremacy in Western Australian Commercial Television TVW7 versus STW9. The actual correlation of Local (Live) Production, Financial Returns and Survey Ratings. Introduction: Examination of the relationship between local (live) production, financial returns and audience survey ratings presented two possible main methods. These were ‘thematic’ or ‘chronologic’. I decided to use the latter method, as it made for easier comparison of the three elements, as they influenced each other during specific periods. The comprehensive record of audience survey ratings may prove valuable to future scholars, wanting to pursue other avenues in regard to the various imported (mainly American) fare which found favour with the viewers. Possibly the only complete set of Western Australian ratings survey books to survive intact were lodged with Government Archives in Sydney by the A.C. Nielsen company. The company retrieved them for my examination in September 2000. During the five years of research for this thesis, no evidence has been uncovered that a similar investigation has taken place. The research commenced from a different starting point, adopting a new slant, in that this work is believed to be the first systematic analysis of three main factors which occurred in Western Australian commercial television, each having a deep relationship to the other. These were the actual programs, both local ‘live’ and outsourced, financial returns as shown in the Annual Reports of the Companies concerned and the regular Television Audience Ratings Surveys. Through their correlation it has been possible to trace the evolution of local ‘live’ production in Perth.
