Local 706 Hairstyling Award. These changes came about after several years of internal discussion within the branch committees. The modifications came in layers, not all at once. The Supervising Editor first big step was to include hair stylists as part of the name of the branch, which laid JEFF ANGELL the groundwork. In 2011, the Board of Governors approved the new title Makeup Contributing Writers Artists and Hairstylists Branch. There are numerous hair stylists who have been branch MICHAEL FRANCIS BLAKE members, but their craft has never been considered singularly, it was always included SUSAN CABRAL-EBERT with make-up. That set the tone for the more sweeping changes to come.

There Publisher should be great appreciation for the progress, especially to Academy Governor Leonard INGLEDODD PUBLISHING Engelman, who guided the committees through the process. Our Branch approved the changes, then it was sent to the Board of Governors for approval. Those of us who were Office Manager involved are quite proud to have been part of this historic change.

MULDOON’S CAR - DAY New York City 1967 TERRY MULDOON, 40’s, and CHARLIE BULLMAN, 30’s, ride in the front seat of a 1964 Plymouth on East 51st Street. These guys dress sharp, don’t look much like cops. MULDOON (V.O.) There are the laws and there are the rules. And while the laws of the land are always evolving and changing, the rules of the street remain the same. They pull up and park. EXT. 51ST STREET - DAY Period cars line the residential street. The two cops step from the car and cross the street. MULDOON (V.O.) And if you want to survive on the streets of New York, you better learn to play by those rules. Besides, they make a hell of a lot more sense anyhow. INT. PRE-WAR DOORMAN BUILDING - DAY Muldoon and Bullman enter the modest lobby and approach the DOORMAN, a heavy set guy, thinks he’s slick. DOORMAN Gentlemen. What can I do for you? Muldoon flashes his shield. MULDOON Anybody up in 4J right now? DOORMAN What? No. 4J? Why would anybody be there? Muldoon immediately grabs the doorman by the back of the neck and tosses him down the hallway out of sight from the street. Bullman turns and stands watch. 2. MULDOON You think we’re jerking around here, asshole? We’re not here to play some game! DOORMAN I’m not playing any game, I just mind my own business. I don’t want any trouble.
