  • Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood
    Katherine Kinney Cold Wars: Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood n 1982 Louis Gossett, Jr was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman, becoming theI first African American actor to win an Oscar since Sidney Poitier. In 1989, Denzel Washington became the second to win, again in a supporting role, for Glory. It is perhaps more than coincidental that both award winning roles were soldiers. At once assimilationist and militant, the black soldier apparently escapes the Hollywood history Donald Bogle has named, “Coons, Toms, Bucks, and Mammies” or the more recent litany of cops and criminals. From the liberal consensus of WWII, to the ideological ruptures of Vietnam, and the reconstruction of the image of the military in the Reagan-Bush era, the black soldier has assumed an increasingly prominent role, ironically maintaining Hollywood’s liberal credentials and its preeminence in producing a national mythos. This largely static evolution can be traced from landmark films of WWII and post-War liberal Hollywood: Bataan (1943) and Home of the Brave (1949), through the career of actor James Edwards in the 1950’s, and to the more politically contested Vietnam War films of the 1980’s. Since WWII, the black soldier has held a crucial, but little noted, position in the battles over Hollywood representations of African American men.1 The soldier’s role is conspicuous in the way it places African American men explicitly within a nationalist and a nationaliz- ing context: U.S. history and Hollywood’s narrative of assimilation, the combat film.

  • Elizabeth Marianne Ploger January 24, 1934 - October 11, 2019
    Elizabeth Marianne Ploger January 24, 1934 - October 11, 2019 Elizabeth Marianne Ploger was born on January 24, 1934 at St. Mary’s hospital in Hoboken, New Jersey. She was the only child of Elsa and Walter Ploger and was raised in Jersey City, N.J. Liz and her parents spoke only German in the house. She learned to speak English in elementary school. Liz was an excellent student attending PS 27 (skipping two grades) and Dickinson High School where she graduated in June 1950 at age 16. In May 1953, Liz and her parents made a three month journey to Europe leaving New York City aboard the Queen Elizabeth to Cherbourg, France. They traveled throughout Europe. This trip developed a life-long love of travel that Liz and her parents enjoyed throughout their lives. Liz worked for Lowe’s Inc/MGM in New York City for seven years and jumped at the chance to move to Los Angeles when an in-house opportunity to transfer came up. She and her parents made the move to LA in 1957, purchasing a small home on Weddington Street in Sherman Oaks that Liz lived in until she developed the illness that would take her from us. She thrived in LA, and while continuing to work for Lowe’s/MGM she attended Los Angeles City College for two years, majoring in journalism. In 1971, Liz moved to Switzerland for a year. During her time in Lausanne, she traveled to England, Norway, Italy, Germany, and many points in between. After moving back to Los Angeles, Liz worked for the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond Company as well as Lion Country Safari.
