Adler Psych Film Group for August “On Golden Pond” Friday, August 10 ● 6:30 - 9:00 pm Adler Graduate School ● Room 232 ● Please RSVP to: [email protected] ● In honor of summertime, the Adler Psych Film Group will show the critically recognized film "On Golden Pond" in August. "On Golden Pond" tells the story of a family on vacation at their lake house. The father, played by Henry Fonda, faces potential memory loss as he celebrates his eightieth birthday. The daughter, played by Jane Fonda, arrives with her new boyfriend and his son. She struggles to reconcile the often times prickly and critical relationship she has with her father. The mother, played by Katharine Hepburn, uses her seemingly limitless energy to support her husband in the face of possible dementia and smooth over the difficulties in the family. “Watching the movie, I felt I was witnessing something rare and valuable.” Roger Ebert – Chicago Sun Times “Without question, these are major, meaty roles for Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda, and there could have been little doubt that the two would work superbly together.” Variety Staff - Variety Starring: Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Doug McKeon, Dabney Coleman Directed by: Mark Rydell Rated: PG Awards: Won 3 Oscars in 1982 for: “Best Actor in a Leading Role” (Henry Fonda), “Best Actress in a Leading Role” (Katharine Hepburn), “Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium” (Ernest Thompson). Nominated for an additional 7 Oscars, including “Best Picture.” Psychological focus: Life transitions and aging, memory loss, marriage, blended families, father-daughter relationships, reconciliation .

Politicising Stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982
1 Politicising Stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982 James Michael Rafferty Queen Mary, University of London Thesis submitted for the qualification of Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) 2 Abstract This thesis is an empirical analysis of Jane Fonda’s films, stardom, and political activism during the most commercially successful period of her career. At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to contemporaneous moral and political ideologies in the United States and how she functioned as both an agent and symbol of these ideologies. Her anti-war activism in the early-1970s constituted the apex of Fonda’s radicalisation and the nadir of her popular appeal; a central question of this thesis, therefore, is how her stardom was rehabilitated for the American mainstream to the point of becoming Hollywood’s most bankable actress. As the star and producer of IPC Films, Fonda developed political projects using commercial formats, namely Coming Home (1978), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980), and Rollover (1981). The final IPC film, On Golden Pond (1981), signalled an ideological breach in this political strategy by favouring a familial spectacle, and duly outperformed its predecessors significantly. The first and last chapters of this work provide historical parameters for IPC in Fonda’s career, while the remaining chapters are structured by the conceptual and political aspects of each IPC project. Julia (1977) is discussed as an IPC prototype through its dramatisation of political consciousness. Coming Home, The China Syndrome, Nine to Five, and Rollover all exhibit this motif whereas On Golden Pond employs melodramatic nostalgia.

For Immediate Release
‘MOONLIGHT & MISTLETOE’ PRODUCTION BIOS CRAIG ANDERSON (Executive Producer) – Founded by four time Tony Award-winning producer Craig Anderson, Craig Anderson Productions has recently presented 12 movies and miniseries for television, including CBS's "The Christmas Blessing" with Neil Patrick Harris and Rebecca Gayheart, "American Meltdown" starring Bruce Greenwood and Arnold Vosloo for FX, and the Johnson & Johnson Spotlight Presentation "Wilder Days" starring Peter Falk , Josh Hutcherson and Tim Daly for TNT. Recently, the success of Lifetime's "For the Love of a Child" with Peri Gilpin and Teri Polo led to the film being honored at the White House in Washington D.C. In April 2001, Anderson put his theatrical expertise to work with one of his most ambitious undertakings: a live production of the award-winning play On Golden Pond, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Originally produced and directed by Anderson on Broadway, the television presentation was broadcast live as the First Annual State Farm Showcase. For Lifetime Television, CAP presented "Range of Motion" and "Midwives," the latter becoming the highest rated movie in the network's history, earning a 2002 Screen Actors Guild nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for Sissy Spacek's role as Sybil Danforth. Craig Anderson first found success upon the boards of Broadway and, after producing and/or directing over 30 productions in New York, he returned to his native California and formed CAP. The first film, "Bump in the Night" starring Meredith Baxter and Christopher Reeve, was broadcast on CBS in 1991 and became one of the highest-rated movies of the season.
