  • The Rocky Road to OZ Wicked Witch’S Fiery Exit
    Saturday, April 9, 2011; 2 & 8 pm only E.Y Harburg tune “Over the Rainbow” (which was almost cut from the picture) became Garland’s theme and a song that has attained cult status. Casting was not the only problem. The script was labored over by 16 writers, 13 of whom went uncredited including cast members Jack Haley and Bert Lahr, poet Ogden Nash, and screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, who authored Citizen Kane (1941). The picture went through five directors (Norman Taurog, Mervyn LeRoy, George Cukor, Richard Thorpe and Victor Fleming), a ton of extras and they almost fried Margaret Hamilton in the effects created for the The Rocky Road to OZ Wicked Witch’s fiery exit. the time The Wizard of Oz premiered at Sid Grauman’s Chinese Theater on a summer night Yet despite the difficulties, and the initial lackluster box By in 1939, it had been staged successfully as a office,The Wizard of Oz was Oscar®-nominated for Best Broadway musical and three silent film versions had already Picture, Color Cinematography, Interior Decoration, and been released.

  • Hollywood Greats Flocked to Racquet Club West
    Hollywood Greats Flocked To Racquet Club West By Don Soja An “official” neighborhood since 2007, the famed Racquet Club West (RCW) was once in the thick of all things “Hollywood” in Palm Springs. Sitting behind the notorious Racquet Club founded by two tennis-addicted actors, Ralph Bellamy and Charles Farrell (who had been politely asked to vacate the courts at the El Mirador Hotel, or so it’s said) the location made adjacent homes attractive to the hottest celebrities of the period. Dinner and dancing, drinks at poolside or sets of tennis were but a short walk or bike ride to the club. (Aside: Bicycles hadn’t been “adult toys” since the 1890’s but were re-popularized in Palm Springs. True.) At any given time, if you could bypass vigilant guards, you’d see Clark Gable, heartthrob Tyrone Power, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas, dancer Ann Miller, honeymooners Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Spencer Tracy or Bob Hope. This neighborhood was also rife with major producers, directors and screenwriters. Tucked between the two major north/south corridors of the town (Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon drives), Racquet Club West is bordered by West San Rafael Road on the north and San Marco Way and Alvarado Road on the south. This mix of 175 one- or two-bedroom villas, unprepossessing weekend cottages, charming Spanish casas, and homes by famed architect Don Wexler and the Alexanders is said to have inspired Raymond Chandler’s book Poodle Springs. The number of Top 100 American Movies, created here poolside and “over a highball” is astonishing.

[Slide 3] As part of their growing-up process, each daughter must fight her “personal demon”: Meg her jealousy of other people’s wealth, Jo her anger and boisterousness, Beth her shyness and reclusiveness, and Amy her selfishness. In a letter to his wife, their father states: [Slide 4] I know they will remember all I said to them, that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully, 1 As the novel begins, the narrator indicates Meg is 16 years old, Jo is 15, Beth is 13 but there is no indication of Amy’s exact age. She is just described as “the youngest” (7). 1 that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women.
