He’s had the pleasure to work on many film and TV projects at Warner Bros., Disney, Fox, Universal, Sony, Paramount and Lionsgate. He’s relentless in his effort to fully immerse himself into any project, both big and small, and truly loves to create. Gina DeDomenico Flanagan has more than 25 years’ experience working as a costume concept artist, muralist and cartoonist. In the past two decades, her work has spanned more than 50 films. DeDomenico Flanagan has been featured in several books, teaches Graphic Representation of Design: Life Drawing at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, and frequently serves as a panelist at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

For the past ten years, Nedavniaya has been illustrating costumes for film, television and live event productions in the United States and abroad. Christian Cordella was born in Italy, an eighth-generation member of a family of prominent Italian fashion designers. Since his graduation from the Academy of Fine Art of Brera, in Milan and Kingston University, in London, he has received commissions in cities from Hiroshima, Japan, to the Vatican.

Aasha Ramdeen was born in Trinidad, and currently works and resides in Los Angeles. She is a costume and fashion illustrator, as well as a textile designer whose career spans almost 20 years.

    38 The Henry James Review Appeals to Incalculability: Sex, Costume Drama, and The Golden Bowl By Dianne F. Sadoff, Miami University Sex is the last taboo in film. —Catherine Breillat Today’s “meat movie” is tomorrow’s blockbuster. —Carol J. Clover When it was released in May 2001, James Ivory’s film of Henry James’s final masterpiece, The Golden Bowl, received decidedly mixed reviews. Kevin Thomas calls it a “triumph”; Stephen Holden, “handsome, faithful, and intelligent” yet “emotionally distanced.” Given the successful—if not blockbuster—run of 1990s James movies—Jane Campion’s The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Agniezka Holland’s Washington Square (1997), and Iain Softley’s The Wings of the Dove (1997)—the reviewers, as well as the fans, must have anticipated praising The Golden Bowl. Yet the film opened in “selected cities,” as the New York Times movie ads noted; after New York and Los Angeles, it showed in university towns and large urban areas but not “at a theater near you” or at “theaters everywhere.” Never mind, however, for the Merchant Ivory film never intended to be popular with the masses. Seeking a middlebrow audience of upper-middle-class spectators and generally intelligent filmgoers, The Golden Bowl aimed to portray an English cultural heritage attractive to Anglo-bibliophiles. James’s faux British novel, however, is paradoxically peopled with foreigners: American upwardly mobile usurpers, an impoverished Italian prince, and a social-climbing but shabby ex- New York yentl. Yet James’s ironic portrait of this expatriate culture, whose characters seek only to imitate their Brit betters—if not in terms of wealth and luxury, at least in social charm and importance—failed to seem relevant to viewers The Henry James Review 23 (2002): 38–52.

  • MASTERPIECE Launches 50Th Anniversary Season with Hit Drama
    MASTERPIECE Launches 50th Anniversary Season with Hit Drama Elizabeth is Missing Starring Glenda Jackson Flagship PBS Drama Series Turns 50 on Sunday, January 10, 2021 Boston, MA; July 29, 2020---MASTERPIECE on PBS will kick off its 50th anniversary season in January 2021 with Elizabeth is Missing, a BAFTA-nominated mystery starring two-time Academy Award® winner Glenda Jackson in her triumphant return to MASTERPIECE. In a performance described by the Guardian (UK) as “harrowing, compelling, unsentimental and altogether magnificent,” Jackson portrays a woman in the grip of dementia trying to solve the case of her missing friend. Almost 50 years ago, in 1971, Jackson won two Emmy® awards for her role as Queen Elizabeth I in MASTERPIECE’s Elizabeth R. Elizabeth is Missing will premiere on Sunday, January 3 at 9pm ET. January will also see the premiere of a new adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small, a seven-part series based on James Herriot’s heartwarming, entertaining and hilarious adventures as a veterinarian in 1930s Yorkshire; a 1970s adaptation was a hit when it aired on public television. Later in January at the special time of 8pm, MASTERPIECE will air Miss Scarlet and the Duke, a new six-part mystery starring Kate Phillips (Peaky Blinders) as the feisty, first-ever female detective in Victorian London. “We’re thrilled Glenda Jackson will lead off our 50th anniversary year,” says MASTERPIECE executive producer Susanne Simpson. “MASTERPIECE has been home to some of the best British dramas of our time, and a showcase for British ‘acting royalty’ such as Maggie Smith, Kenneth Branagh, Helen Mirren and Benedict Cumberbatch, and of course, Glenda Jackson.” One of the longest-running weekly series on primetime television, MASTERPIECE is presented by WGBH Boston and is funded by Viking, Raymond James and the MASTERPIECE Trust.

  • Women in Comedy
    WOMEN IN COMEDY BACKGROUND: MAKERS: Women In Comedy tracks the rise of women in the world of comedy, from the “dangerous” comedy of 70s sitcoms like Norman Lear’s Maude to the groundbreaking women of the 1980s American comedy club boom and building to today’s multifaceted landscape. Today, movies like Bridesmaids break box office records and the women of Saturday Night Live are often more famous than their male counterparts, but it didn’t start out that way. Early breakout female comics had to keep their jokes within the safe context of marriage, motherhood, and a man’s world. But they still found a way to be subversive. As Joan Rivers puts it, “I was furious about having to get married… It all comes out on stage. So that’s what I do onstage. I really tell them the truth.” Soon comedy became a vehicle for women to take on some of the most sensitive and controversial issues of the day. On television in the 1960s, entertainers like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore illuminated the core issues of feminism with humor that was both sly and truthful. But it took a powerful male producer to bring the most provocative feminist characters onto the screen. Maude, who Lear introduced to audiences in 1971, was a feminist firebrand on her fourth husband, strong and independent with a razor sharp wit. “When Maude was on the air,” Lear tells us, “I used to get letters from the First Lady, Betty Ford…. And she always signed every letter ‘Maude’s #1 fan’.” When Maude chose to have an abortion at 47, religious groups protested, but the episode was watched by 65 million Americans.
