Hant: A History of Jewish Mothers on Television A mother goes into her son’s room. “You’ve got to get up for school, Bernie.” Bernie pulls the blanket over his head, “I don’t wanna go to school.” “You have to go,” the mother says. “I don’t wanna. The teachers don’t like me, and all the kids make fun of me.” The mother pulls the blanket down. “Bernie, you don’t have any choice. You have to go to school.” “Yeah,” Bernie says. “Give me one good reason!” “You’re fifty-two years old and you’re the principal.” (Telushkin, 1992, p. 38) The stereotype of the overbearing, over- involved, suffocating Jewish mother has been a television staple since the beginning days of broadcasting in the 1940’s and l950’s.

  • Shakespeare on Film and Television in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress
    SHAKESPEARE ON FILM AND TELEVISION IN THE MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING AND RECORDED SOUND DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Compiled by Zoran Sinobad January 2012 Introduction This is an annotated guide to moving image materials related to the life and works of William Shakespeare in the collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. While the guide encompasses a wide variety of items spanning the history of film, TV and video, it does not attempt to list every reference to Shakespeare or every quote from his plays and sonnets which have over the years appeared in hundreds (if not thousands) of motion pictures and TV shows. For titles with only a marginal connection to the Bard or one of his works, the decision what to include and what to leave out was often difficult, even when based on their inclusion or omission from other reference works on the subject (see below). For example, listing every film about ill-fated lovers separated by feuding families or other outside forces, a narrative which can arguably always be traced back to Romeo and Juliet, would be a massive undertaking on its own and as such is outside of the present guide's scope and purpose. Consequently, if looking for a cinematic spin-off, derivative, plot borrowing or a simple citation, and not finding it in the guide, users are advised to contact the Moving Image Reference staff for additional information. How to Use this Guide Entries are grouped by titles of plays and listed chronologically within the group by release/broadcast date.

  • Actress Valerie Harper on Living with Brain Cancer Harper Discusses Her Diagnosis, Keeping a Positive AItude, and Her Acting Career
    MENTAL HEALTH OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2013 BY SUSANNAH GORA Actress Valerie Harper on Living with Brain Cancer Harper discusses her diagnosis, keeping a positive a}itude, and her acting career. "For more than 40 years," says Valerie Harper, with warmth and gratitude, "people have embraced me as their own. They have treated Rhoda like family." Indeed, week after week, we welcomed Harper into our homes as the lovable, wisecracking Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and later on her own spinoff, Rhoda. We laughed with her, cried with her, and rooted for her. Fifty-two million of us even tuned in to watch her get married. Maybe that's why it felt as if a member of our own family was sharing some difficult news when Harper revealed in March of 2013 that she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC), a rare and incurable form of brain cancer. Then again, as the four-time Emmy winner wisely points out, "All of us are terminal. Nobody is promised the next day, or the next moment. So live every moment, in the moment." Although there is no cure for LC, Harper has responded well to treatment and her positive attitude knows no bounds. "I have to walk slower," she says, "but after [this interview], I'm going to get out there and take a walk and breathe the beautiful air. It's a pretty day here. Seize the day!" Valerie Harper in 1974 in the Telling the Truth TV role for which she is best January of 2013 was an exciting time for Harper.
