Schiavo Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) musician, artist songwriter, and founder of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, Nirvana, was dubbed, “the voice of a generation”; a moniker he wore like his faded cardigan sweater, but with more than some distain. Cobain’s journey to the top of the Billboard charts was much more Dickensian than many of the generations of fans may realize. During his all too short life, Cobain struggled with physical illness, poverty, undiagnosed depression, a broken family, and the crippling isolation and loneliness brought on by drug addiction. Cobain may have shunned the idea of fame and fortune but like many struggling young musicians (who would become his peers) coming up in the blue collar, working class suburbs of Aberdeen and Tacoma Washington State, being ii on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine wasn’t a nightmare image. Cobain, with his unkempt blond hair, polarizing blue eyes, and fragile appearance is a modern-punk-rock Jesus; a model example of the modern-day hero.

  • Jessica Lange Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Jessica Lange Regis Dialogue with Molly Haskell, 1997 Bruce Jenkins: Let me say that these dialogues have for the better part of this decade focused on that part of cinema devoted to narrative or dramatic filmmaking, and we've had evenings with actors, directors, cinematographers, and I would say really especially with those performers that we identify with the cutting edge of narrative filmmaking. In describing tonight's guest, Molly Haskell spoke of a creative artist who not only did a sizeable number of important projects but more importantly, did the projects that she herself wanted to see made. The same I think can be said about Molly Haskell. She began in the 1960s working in New York for the French Film Office at that point where the French New Wave needed a promoter and a writer and a translator. She eventually wrote the landmark book From Reverence to Rape on women in cinema from 1973 and republished in 1987, and did sizable stints as the film reviewer for Vogue magazine, The Village Voice, New York magazine, New York Observer, and more recently, for On the Issues. Her most recent book, Holding My Own in No Man's Land, contains her last two decades' worth of writing. I'm please to say it's in the Walker bookstore, as well. Our other guest tonight needs no introduction here in the Twin Cities nor in Cloquet, Minnesota, nor would I say anyplace in the world that motion pictures are watched and cherished. She's an internationally recognized star, but she's really a unique star.

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY An essay submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre by Robert T. Hollander June, 1981 The Essay of Robert T. Hollander is approved: Prof. c(§!g Nieuwenhuysel Dr. Georg~ Gunkle, Committee Chairman California State University, Northridge ii ABSTRACT THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY by Robert T. Hollander Master of Arts in Theatre Golden Boy was first produced by the Group Theatre in New York in 1937. Directed by Harold Clurman, this 1937 production included in its cast names that were to become notable in the American theatre: Luther Adler, Frances Farmer, Lee J. Cobb, Jules (John) Garfield, Morris Carnovsky, Elia Kazan, Howard Da Silva and Karl Malden. Golden Boy quickly became the most successful production 1 in Group Theatre history and was followed in 1939 by the movie of the same name, starring William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck. Since then, there have been countless revivals, including a musical adaptation in 1964 which starred Sammy Davis Jr. Golden Boy certainly merits consideration as one of the classics of modern American drama. 1Harold Clurman, The Fervent Years: The Story of the Group Theatre and the Thirties. (New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich. A Harvest Book, 1975), p. 211. 1 2 The decision to prepare the character of Torn Moody as a thesis project under the direction of Dr. George Gunkle was made during the spring semester of 1980 at which time I was performing a major role in The Knight of the Burning Pestle, a seventeenth century farce written by Beaumont and Fletcher.

  • INDIANA LAW REVIEW [Vol
    James F. Bailey, III A Tribute to Professor James F. Bailey, III, AND A Review of His Work William F. Harvey* When a person holds a joint appointment as a law school librarian and a law school professor, when he is tenured in both the faculty tenure system for the law school and in the Indiana University library system, by what standard is he reviewed and remembered? Rather clearly, two are available. The first measures him as a professor of law. Professor James F. Bailey, III is a meticulous scholar who taught International Law, Legal Bibliography 1 and 2, Law and Development in the Hispanic World, and Lexis and Westlaw. He taught these courses well, and he was highly appraised by his students and his peers. He was an Exchange Scholar from Indiana University to Universidad de Sevilla, in Seville, Spain, and to Eotvos Lorand University of Budapest, Hungary. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. degree, (after he was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa) and then from the law school at the University of Michigan. He has important and extensive publications in multiple volume sets. There is more. He is a linguist. He is bilingual in English and Spanish, and he works reasonably well in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, and Catalan. The second reviews his thirty years as the Indiana University School of Law at Indianapolis Law Librarian—perhaps this was first for Professor Bailey, and his law professorship was second, even though each has been an almost total commitment. Another question appears: how does one review thirty years of work as the law school's librarian? C.

    "FRANCES" Screenplay by Eric Bergren, Christopher De Vore and Nicholas Kazan PROLOGUE BLACK. We HEAR the soft voice of Frances Farmer. FRANCES (V.O.) No one ever came up to me and said, 'You're a fool. There isn't such a thing as God. Somebody's been stuffing you.' FADE IN: EXT. PUGET SOUND - DAY On an expanse of water, calm and undisturbed. After a moment, it begins to ripple as something rises toward the surface. A girl's face breaks through. FRANCES (V.O.) It wasn't a murder. I think God just died of old age. And when I realized He wasn't any more, it didn't shock me. It seemed natural and right. The girl, FRANCES, is 16, blond, very pretty: she seems like the most persuasive proof imaginable of God's existence. She swims toward the shore with long graceful strokes... then climbs the steps of the old wood jetty on West Point Beach. FRANCES (V.O.) And yet I began to wonder what the minister meant when he said, 'God, the Father, sees even the smallest sparrow fall. He watches over all his children.' That jumbled it all up for me.

Frances sits comfortably in the fork of a tree writing in her diary. Towel around her neck, her hair splayed out and drying golden in the sun. FRANCES (V.O.)

    FRANCES FARMER TENDRÁ SU VENGANZA EN SEATTLE1 FRANCES FARMER WILL HAVE HER REVENGE ON SEATTLE Juncal Caballero Guiral Universitat Jaume I de Castellón RESUMEN Frances Farmer fue una actriz valiente y comprometida. Siempre observó su carrera artística desde su propia condición de mujer, atea y comunista. Su rechazo al mundo hollywoodiense de los años treinta y cuarenta, unido a las difíciles relaciones familiares, provocó en ella una reacción que la sociedad de ese momento atajó amparándose en el mundo legal. Acusada de maltrato y de violar la libertad condicional su vida acabó bajo la tutela materna. A partir de ese momento, Farmer se paseó por el abismo, por la frontera de la cordura y de la locura. Palabras clave: Frances Farmer, locura, independencia. ABSTRACT Actress Frances Farmer was brave and committed. She always considered her artistic career from her own identity as a woman, atheistic and communist. Her rejection to the 30s and 40s Hollywood world, together with difficult family relationships, caused her a reaction that society at the time interrupted by invoking the legal sphere. She was accused of abuse and probation violation, and thus ended her life under her mother’s tutelage. Since then, Farmer walked into the abyss, on the border between sanity and madness. MUJERES, CREACIÓNMUJERES, Y DOLOR Key words: Frances Farmer, madness, independence. Frances Farmer tendrá su venganza en Seattle es el título de una canción recogida en el último disco de Nirvana, In Utero, editado en 1993. En ella, el grupo dedica unas crípticas palabras a una mujer casi desconocida para el público en general.

    Frances Farmers tragiske skæbne Med udgangspunkt i bogen »Shadowland« beretter Niels Jensen om en Hollywood-skuespillerinde, der efter succes i trediverne blev et offer for fyrrernes sorte reaktion I billedbøger fra den filmiske højglanspe­ riode i trediverne og fyrrerne finder man por­ trætter af Frances Farmer. Kølig, statelig og uantastelig. Den lady var ingen tramp. Men hvad blev der egentlig af hende, og hvem var hun? De spørgsmål har en Seattle-journalist ved navn William Arnold besvaret i en ny bog, »Shadowland«, der er ligeså uheldssvanger, skæbneladet og mørk som mange af de efter­ krigstidens paranoide, psykologiske gysere, i hvis periode dens sorteste kapitler foregår. Man tror ikke sine egne øjne mens man læ­ ser, men man bliver ved til den bitre ende. F ra n ce s Farmer kom til verden i Seattle den nittende september 1914. Faderen var en venlig* men lidet duelig mand med venstreori­ enterede sympatier. Det var moderen, der havde foden på hjemmet og et hjerte, der brændte for de nationale værdier. Splittelse kendte Frances fra sit livs begyndelse. Og hun kom også næsten fra starten til at føle sødmen og smerten ved virak. Første gang var da hun 17 år gammel vandt en stilekon­ kurrence over emnet Guds Død. Inspirationen Frances Farmer i tre trediver-versioner kom fra Dostojevskij og Nietzsche men anlig­ gendet var personligt nok og tonefaldet der­ v ^ g det var der andre, der gjorde. Hun ville efter.
