  • Genuneit Tarzan Vor 100 Jahren
    Jürgen Genuneit Aaaaaihaihaaaaihaihaaaaa! Vor 100 Jahren lernte Tarzan lesen und schreiben „Aaaaaihaihaaaaihaihaaaaa!“ – sicherlich haben Sie diesen Schrei gleich als den berühmten Tarzanschrei erkannt und erinnern sich zurück an die Tarzan-Comics Ihrer Jugend, an die Tarzanfilme mit Johnny Weismüller und Lex Barker oder an die Disney-Verfilmung und vielleicht an einen der 26 Tarzan- Romane des Amerikaners Edgar Rice Burroughs. Aber wie Tarzan lesen und schreiben gelernt hat, daran erinnert sich meistens kaum einer. Tarzans unglaubliche Lese- und Schreiblerngeschichte steht in dem ersten Band der Romanserie „Tarzan bei den Affen", der vor genau hundert Jahren im September/Oktober 1912 zum ersten Mal erschienen ist. Tarzan war bekanntlich als Säugling von den Affen geraubt und großgezogen worden. Von ihnen lernte er auch die Affensprache, die lediglich auf einer reduzierten mündlichen Basis bestand. Auf seinen Streifzügen durch den Dschungel entdeckt der Zehnjährige die Hütte seines Vaters und dort findet er eine Fibel. Mit Hilfe der Bilder und der Bildunterschriften, deren Buchstaben er zunächst für „eine seltene Art Käfer" hält, bringt er sich selbst das Lesen bei, was ihm bei denjenigen Abbildungen, die er aus der Dschungelwelt kennt, leichter gelingt als bei „Eisenbahn" oder „Schiff" – eine wichtige Bestätigung des in der Erwachsenenalphabetisierung angewandten Spracherfahrungsansatzes, der die Alltagserfahrung des Lernenden zum Ausgangspunkt des Lese- und Schreiblernprozesses macht. Insgesamt braucht Tarzan fünf, in der Comic- Version

  • Lie of the Jungle: the Trut
    Lie of the Jungle: The Truth About Cheeta the Chimpanzee http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/25/A... Lie of the Jungle He had the chance to write the biography of Cheeta, known as the world's oldest and most famous chimp. But his research led him into serious monkey business. By R.D. Rosen Sunday, December 7, 2008; W14 In the fall of 2007, I had been working for several months on a proposal for the authorized biography of Cheeta, Johnny Weissmuller's sidekick in MGM's Tarzan movies of the 1930s and '40s. Against all odds, Cheeta was still alive at the age of 75, 20 years older than a captive chimp's normal life span. When the agent for Cheeta and his owner, Dan Westfall, had first approached me about writing the biography, I was astonished that a fixture of not just my own childhood, but my parents', as well, one of the most celebrated animals in movie history, was retired in Palm Springs, Calif., selling his paintings for $135 donations to thousands of far-flung admirers. His birthday parties were now covered by national, and even international, media. At Cheeta's 75th birthday party, his owner, who runs a non-profit primate sanctuary, had played a video of Jane Goodall attempting to sing "Happy Birthday" to him in the pant-hooting language of the wild chimps she had first observed in Tanzania in the early 1960s. Could there be higher tribute to a chimp than that? I was too absorbed in the many fascinating aspects of my research -- the history of men and their captive chimps, the early days of Hollywood animal training, the evolution of the Tarzan franchise, newspaper clips about Cheeta, not to mention a meeting with the fading star himself -- to indulge any incipient doubts about Cheeta's true identity.

  • JOAN CRAWFORD Early Life and Inspiration Joan Crawford Was Born Lucille Fay Lesueur on March 23, 1908, in San Antonio, Texas
    JOAN CRAWFORD Early Life and Inspiration Joan Crawford was born Lucille Fay LeSueur on March 23, 1908, in San Antonio, Texas. Her biological father, Thomas E. LeSueur, left the family shortly after Lucille’s birth, leaving Anna Bell Johnson, her mother, behind to take care of the family. page 1 Lucille’s mother later married Henry J. Cassin, an opera house owner from Lawton, Oklahoma, which is where the family settled. Throughout her childhood there, Lucille frequently watched performances in her stepfather’s theater. Lucille, having grown up watching the many vaudeville acts perform at the theater, grew up wanting to pursue a dancing career. page 2 In 1917, Lucille’s family moved to Kansas City after her stepfather was accused of embezzlement. Cassin, a Catholic, sent Lucille to a Catholic girls’ school by the name of St. Agnes Academy. When her mother and stepfather divorced, she remained at the academy as a work student. It was there that she began dating and met a man named Ray Sterling, who inspired her to start working hard in school. page 3 In 1922, Lucille registered at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. However, she only attended the college for a few months before dropping out when she realized that she was not prepared enough for college. page 4 Early Career After her stint at Stephens, Lucille began dancing in various traveling choruses under the name Lucille LeSueur. While performing in Detroit, her talent was noticed by a producer named Jacob Shubert. Shubert gave her a spot in his 1924 Broadway show Innocent Eyes, in which she performed in the chorus line.

  • SHIRLEY MACLAINE to RECEIVE 40Th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
    SHIRLEY MACLAINE TO RECEIVE 40th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD America’s Highest Honor for a Career in Film to be Presented June 7, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA, October 9, 2011 – Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, announced today the Board’s decision to honor Shirley MacLaine with the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor for a career in film. The award will be presented to MacLaine at a gala tribute on Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end. Also participating were Casey Affleck, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, David Fincher, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Tim Robbins, Chris Rock, Hilary Swank, Forest Whitaker, Betty White, Renée Zellweger and surprise musical guest Garth Brooks.

  • Film Essay for “The Wind”
    The Wind By Fritzi Kramer “The Wind” is legendary for its raw emotional power, its skillful direction and the triumphant performances of its leads. Lillian Gish, Lars Hanson and director Victor Sjöström (credited during his time in Hollywood as “Seastrom”) had previously worked together on “The Scarlet Letter” (1926), a creative and commer- cial hit, and Gish had chosen a psychological west- ern written by Texas native Dorothy Scarborough as their next vehicle. The novel focuses on Letty, a so- phisticated Virginia girl who is forced to relocate to a remote ranch in Texas. Driven to the brink of mad- ness by the harsh weather and unceasing wind, Letty’s situation becomes worse when circumstanc- es force her to accept a marriage proposal from Lige, a rough cowboy. Roddy, a sophisticated city man, takes advantage of Letty’s fragile mental stage and rapes her. Letty responds by shooting him and then races outside, giving herself to the wind. It’s easy to see the appeal of this intense work, especial- ly in the visual medium of silent film. Gish later wrote that playing innocent heroines, roles she sarcastically described as “Gaga-baby,” was an enormous challenge.1 So much sweetness and light could quickly bore audiences if it wasn’t played just right but a villain could ham things up with impunity. Gish had dabbled in different parts, playing a street- wise tenement dweller in “The Musketeers of Pig Alley” (1912) and a heartless vamp in the lost film “Diane of the Follies” (1916), but film audiences were most taken with her more delicate creations.
