From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

Pieces of a Woman
PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

Happy Family by Giles Cooper
Press Information finboroughtheatre Odd Sok Productions in association with Concordance presents Happy Family by Giles Cooper. Directed by Vivian Munn. Designed by Alex Marker. Lighting by Alex Watson. Cast includes: Scott Brooksbank. Camilla Corbett. Will Godfrey. Caroline Taylor. THE FIRST LONDON PRODUCTION FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS OF THE BLACK COMEDY BY CULT SIXTIES DRAMATIST, GILES COOPER. The three members of the Solstice family are still as emotionally vulnerable and innocent as when they were as children - Mark, the authoritative brother, is terrified of the dark; Susan is stuck in her role as the bossy older sister; while Deborah is totally unaware of the facts of life. Held together by an elaborate system of nursery rules and regulations, a secret language, and their joint failure to grow up, the introduction of Susan’s new fiancé into their midst is the catalyst that stretches their childhood chains to breaking point… Dramatist Giles Cooper (1918-1966) was “the most original and brilliant dramatist to have written for and been created by radio”. Happy Family was the last play he wrote before his death "and probably his best". He died mysteriously falling from a train in December 1966. First presented at the Hampstead Theatre in 1966 with Wendy Craig as Deborah, it transferred to the West End with Michael Denison, Dulcie Gray and Robert Flemyng. It was last seen in the UK in the West End in 1983 with Stephanie Beacham, Ian Ogilvy, Angela Thorne and James Laurenson in a production directed by Maria Aitken. Director Vivian Munn is best known as an actor with credits including the Young Vic under David Thacker (including playing Osvald in Ghosts in the West End), world tours for Michael Bogdanov and Michael Pennington’s English Shakespeare Company and roles for David Thacker, Max Stafford-Clark, Steven Pimlott and Bill Bryden for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
