  • Gender Roles & Occupations
    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.

  • Sian Reeves Reveals Why She's Right at Home on The
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pulse Records Limited in association with Bill Elms present SIAN REEVES REVEALS WHY SHE’S RIGHT AT HOME ON THE COBBLES OF WEATHERFIELD AND BY THE WATERS OF LIVERPOOL Most actors would be serenely content to have landed a fantastic storyline in one of the country’s leading soaps - but for stalwart Sian Reeves, there will be no time to sit back and relax as this February sees rehearsals begin for the UK premiere tour of Helen Forrester’s, By The Waters Of Liverpool. But first, having already graced our screens with stints in Eastenders and Emmerdale, Sian is about to send shock waves around Coronation Street when she rolls up as Charlie Wood, the deluded wife Tim Metcalfe didn’t know he had. Charlie and Tim got married after a boozy holiday fling in Las Vegas, which he assumed was a spoof wedding. He was wrong, and is now mortified to realise the drunken ceremony in which he and Charlie got hitched years ago was, in fact, the real deal. Fearful of being charged with bigamy, Tim tracked Charlie down and asked for a divorce. But he gets more than he bargained for when she turns up on the street... Sian explains: “Charlie Wood is a sweet girl. When they meet up again, Tim never mentioned being married to Sally and all the attention he lavished on her, just to get a divorce, makes her think he is in love with her. Consequently, she feels really humiliated when Sally confronts them - so she runs off without signing the papers.
