Actors' Stories Are a SAG Awards® Tradition
Actors' Stories are a SAG Awards® Tradition When the first Screen Actors Guild Awards® were presented on March 8, 1995, the ceremony opened with a speech by Angela Lansbury introducing the concept behind the SAG Awards and the Actor® statuette. During her remarks she shared a little of her own history as a performer: "I've been Elizabeth Taylor's sister, Spencer Tracy's mistress, Elvis' mother and a singing teapot." She ended by telling the audience of SAG Awards nominees and presenters, "Tonight is dedicated to the art and craft of acting by the people who should know about it: actors. And remember, you're one too!" Over the Years This glimpse into an actor’s life was so well received that it began a tradition of introducing each Screen Actors Guild Awards telecast with a distinguished actor relating a brief anecdote and sharing thoughts about what the art and craft mean on a personal level. For the first eight years of the SAG Awards, just one actor performed that customary opening. For the 9th Annual SAG Awards, however, producer Gloria Fujita O'Brien suggested a twist. She observed it would be more representative of the acting profession as a whole if several actors, drawn from all ages and backgrounds, told shorter versions of their individual journeys. To add more fun and to emphasize the universal truths of being an actor, the producers decided to keep the identities of those storytellers secret until they popped up on camera. An August Lineage Ever since then, the SAG Awards have begun with several of these short tales, typically signing off with his or her name and the evocative line, "I Am an Actor™." So far, audiences have been delighted by 107 of these unique yet quintessential Actors' Stories.

All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

Indeed, King’s 1979 novel Salem’s Lot – in which a European vampire invades small town Maine – vigorously and effectively dramatises this notion, as do many of his subsequent narratives. 2.

The Twilight Zone
The Twilight Zone As a companion piece to my first paper for the Spring 2010 update of the Film Score Rundowns site, “The CBS Collection 072 UCLA,” I thought it would be fitting to offer rundowns of various written scores of the celebrated CBS series created by Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone. I worked on these scores starting in the spring of 1989 when the CBS Deed of Gift # 1 was first available to researchers. Usually I hand-copied but initially I was able to xerox some of the scores or cues thanks to the Harry Heitzer general permission that UCLA later, in a change of policy, decided to cancel. I have already delineated the episodes scored by Bernard Herrmann on my site in separate rundowns except for the pilot episode, “Where Is Everybody?” simply because the full score was not available in the collection (that I could find, anyway). Only a very elementary two-stave reduced conductor score dated 1/16/59 was available. However, I will briefly delineate this skeletal version here in this paper. I will first focus on the opening and closing themes of Marius Constant and also Herrmann’s version that I have. I will also cover the CBS Eye music by Herrmann and Goldsmith. Then I will focus on what I have of various Twilight Zone scores/cues from various composers. “Twilight Zone Theme” [“Opening Theme” designation on the reduced score] Music by Bernard Herrmann dated January 15, 1959 (dated the 16th on the reduced score). CBS cue # 1561; CBS X-58-D-3.
