Julie Alter • Biography As a casting director for over 20 years, she has worked with Martin Scorsese ("The Last Temptation of Christ”), Arthur Penn, Abel Ferrar, Robert Rodriguez, William Friedkin, Allan Arkush, John Milius, Joe Dante, John Landis, Ed Zwick, Scott Wynant, Peter Horton, Gary Sinise, among many others. TV casting includes "thirtysomething" (4 Seasons); HBO's "Dream On" (3 Seasons); Two series for Norman Lear; TNT's "Rough Riders" and Showtime’s "Rebel Highway" Series, A Ten Film Homage to Roger Corman. Julie's eye for young talent has helped launch the careers of Rene Zellweger, John Hawkes, Julie Bowen, Adrien Brody, Giovanni Ribisi, Anne Heche, Selma Hayek, David Arquette, Patricia Arquette, Brad Pitt, Alicia Silverstone, Jake Busey, Paul Rudd, Marisa Tomei, Adrien Brody, and more. Recent projects include the charming short "The Case of the Missing Garden Gnome" (2012 “Funny or Die” Short Film Festival), “A Star Is Scorned”, “Face2Face”, “No Fun At All", Producer, Patrick Cunningham ("Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene"), "The Rock Apprentice", an Australian coming-of-age teen/rock musical, and "NATE & AL", a poignant caper about an anguished, feisty Jewish Holocaust Survivor turned Nazi-hunting vigilante, Director, Ralph Ziman ("The Zookeeper", "Hearts & Minds", "Gangster's Paradise”) At the start of her career In NY, she assisted Lynn Kressel (Law & Order), and worked on dozens of B'way shows with the venerable B'way casting directors Geoff Johnson & Vinnie Liff (Les Mis, Cats, Dreamgirls, Phantom of the Opera, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Guys & Dolls, The Producers, Amadeus, Chess, The Elephant Man). As Casting Director for Manhattan Theatre Club she cast plays for Arthur Penn, Lynne Meadow, John Patrick Shanley, Beth Henley, and Howard Brenton. She also casts many AFI, UCLA, CSUN and USC Student Thesis Films, 'cause who can resist young talent … In 2010, Julie was thrilled to come back to work as a casting director and private audition coach, having paused her career to raise Phoebe, 21, and Michael, 17. She studied Directing and Acting at Northwestern University with Frank Galati (Steppenwolf Theatre), Wallace Bacon; David Downs, and Lila Heston. She graduated from the 2 Year Professional Workshop at Circle-in-the-Square Theatre School in Manhattan, where she was mentored by Larry Moss; Michael Kahn; Ed Berkeley; Ada Brown Mather, and the legendary Nikos Psacharopoulos, Founding Artistic Director of The Williamstown Theatre Festival. With a casting director’s sensibility, Julie does rigorous audition prep with actors. The process infuses an actor’s work with energy, and frees them up to bring striking and singular character choices into the audition room. Actors trust her objective and indepentant point of view, and gain the confidence in their work that allows them to relax during auditions. This is a passion of hers and a practice that makes auditions pop. It’s a powerful, creative, and disciplined process that enlivens and informs actors’ work, and helps them obtain a peak audition experience. (MORE) JULIE ALTER, CSA 2934 ½ N.

For her work on the series, she received four Emmy® nominations and two Golden Globe® nominations as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. While performing in “Home Improvement,” she also co-hosted the Emmy® Awards with Ellen DeGeneres. In 2009, the cast members of “Home Improvement” received a Fan Favorite Award from the TV Land Awards. She has also received a Vision Award and a Women In Film Award in Texas and commendations from the Prism Awards for her work in the show. For two years, she had a recurring role in “The West Wing” as Sheila Brooks, Sen. Arnold Vinick’s (Alan Alda) chief of staff. She was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her role in “Ulee’s Gold,” opposite Peter Fonda and directed by Victor Nunez. Previously, Richardson garnered rave reviews for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe’s mother in the CBS miniseries “Blonde.” She played twins in “Viva Las Nowhere,” co-starring Danny Stern and James Caan, which was released on video under the title “Dead Simple” and won a Seattle Film Festival Award.

    Die Invasion Der Barbaren Gedanken Zur Re-Mythisierung Hollywoods in Den 1980Er-Jahren

    Die Invasion der Barbaren Gedanken zur Re-Mythisierung Hollywoods in den 1980er-Jahren Marcus Stiglegger, Berlin 1. Wenn ich zurückdenke an das Jahr 1982 – ich war gerade 11 Jahre alt –, muss ich sagen, dass Conan für kurze Zeit zu meinem Mentor wurde. Ich durfte den Film mit Arnold Schwar- zenegger damals noch nicht sehen und sammelte daher verzweifelt alle Artikel über John Milius’ CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982), die ich finden konnte. So kaufte ich mein erstes Cinema-Heft und meine erste Bravo-Ausgabe, denn beide berichteten ausführlich über den archaischen Barbaren. Und welche Freude war es, als der Heyne Verlag mit seiner Veröf- fentlichung der Conan-Stories und -Romane begann, die jeweils mit einem Filmfoto auf dem Cover erschienen. Diese blassgelben Buchrücken schmücken noch heute mein Lesezimmer. Conan kam damals zur richtigen Zeit: mit der wachsenden Popularität von J. R. R. Tolkiens Herr der Ringe-Romantrilogie und dem gleichnamigen Animationsfilm von Ralph Bakshi aus dem Jahr 1979, mit John Boormans 1981 gestarteter Neuinterpretation des Arthus-Mythos’ in EXCALIBUR und Terry Gilliams TIME BANDITS (1981). Es folgten THE DRAGON SLAYER (1982) von Matthew Robbins, FIRE AND ICE (1983) von Ralph Bakshi, THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) von Jim Hanson und Frank Oz, LEGEND (1983) von Ridley Scott und aus Deutsch- land DIE UNENDLICHE GESCHICHTE (1984) von Wolfgang Petersen. Und nicht nur das Kino feierte die Phantasie, auch das Table-Top-Rollenspiel Dungeons & Dragons hatte damals eine Hochphase. Tolkiens Mittelerde hatte sich bereits in der Hippie-Ära der frühen 1970er-Jahre großer Beliebtheit erfreut, Studierendenkreise ebenso inspiriert wie esoterische Beschäfti- gung angestoßen. Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspiele etablierten sich als Gruppenerlebnis, und schon in den 1970er-Jahren musste man von einem Revival jener Fantasy-Literatur sprechen, die eigentlich einer anderen Ära entstammte: den krisengeplagten 1930er-Jahren mit ihren ‚Weird Tales‘ und weiteren frühen Fantasy-Magazinen.

    Media History Monographs 12:1 (2010) ISSN 1940-8862 The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary By Lawrence N. Strout Mississippi State University Three major TV and film productions about Edward R. Murrow‟s life are the subject of this research: Murrow, HBO, 1986; Edward R. Murrow: This Reporter, PBS, 1990; and Good Night, and Good Luck, Warner Brothers, 2005. Murrow has frequently been referred to as the “father” of broadcast journalism. So, studying the “documentation” of his life in an attempt to ascertain its historical role in supporting, challenging, and/or adding to the collective memory and mythology surrounding him is important. Research on the docudramas and documentary suggests the depiction that provided the least amount of context regarding Murrow‟s life (Good Night) may be the most available for viewing (DVD). Therefore, Good Night might ultimately contribute to this generation (and the next) having a more narrow and skewed memory of Murrow. And, Good Night even seems to add (if that is possible) to Murrow‟s already “larger than life” mythological image. ©2010 Lawrence N. Strout Media History Monographs 12:1 Strout: Edward R.

Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.
