She was an American icon and the first lady of television during the 1950s. Not only did Lucille Ball provide laughter to millions of people, but Lucille Ball gave women a voice and America heard what she had to say. She showed women they can be accepted, and be in a position both on television and in the working world where they can be strong and independent. She was a leader and set an example for women and showed society that women have a voice to be heard and will be successful, when given the opportunity. Lucille Ball managed her career and created her personal brand by beating all obstacles that were laid in front of her and test boundaries, which lead her to become an entrepreneurial success. Lucille Ball blazed the trails for many women, on and off stage.

    PUBUC WORKS AUG 0 1 ZO MOTION Lucy's El Adobe Café serves as an LA establisluent; it is a restaurant that has been a traditional star hangout for decades and continues to be a favored café by many influential individuals. Lucy Casada, the owner, has become famous in her own right among celebrities and high profie individuals, due to the restaurants friendly service, great food and reasonable prices. Lucy's daughter introduced Linda Rondstadt to California Governor Jerry Brown at Lucy's. George Lucas is a good friend of Lucy's as well as Kevin Costner, Orson Welles, Jack Nicholson and many others. Lucy's El Adobe Café has brought many stars to Melrose Avenue, becoming a part of the rich history of Los Angeles. In addition, adjacent from Lucy's El Adobe Café, is the historic location ofDesilu Productions. Although a portion of this site is now home to Paramount Studios, the history and legacy of Lucille Ball's career began on this comer in Hollywood. Although the site ofDesilu productions shifted, the first fiming of the "I Love Lucy" show was at Desilu productions headquarters on Melrose A venue and Plymouth Boulevard, established in 1951. The joint ownership ofDesilu productions was met with failure, as was the marriage of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Lucile Ball bought out Desi Arnaz's half ofDesilu productions in the 1960's, making her the first woman to own a major studio and one of the most powerful women in Southern California. Lucile Ball later sold the company, which is partly occupied by Paramount Studios.

  • The Smurfs Were Communists! by Dave Morgan Okay, I Know It
    The Smurfs Were Communists! By Dave Morgan Okay, I know it sounds crazy. I didn't believe it myself at first. Then I started thinking about it, and it starts getting scary. First of all, you must put aside all the media-programmed, propaganda-driven thoughts or irrational fears you might already have about communists. Forget all that big bad Russian stuff that the 80's taught us, that doesn't exist anymore. Think of communism as just a way of life, a social order, an economic standpoint, a lifestyle choice. Take all the visions of sickles and hammers and tanks out of your head for awhile, and then you will be able to see it clearly. First of all, the Smurfs shared everything. The food in the Smurf village was stored away in those mushrooms the minute it was harvested and then equally distributed to all the Smurfs throughout the year. No one "farmer Smurf" sold his crop to a "consumer Smurf," or saw his labor exploited by another. It was understood that the crop was for the entire Smurf population, not for the sale or profit of one Smurf alone. Then there were those jobs each Smurf held. There was Handy Smurf, and Painter Smurf, and Brainy Smurf, etc... Each Smurf had his own specific job and was not allowed to try his hand at any other Smurf's assigned task. There actually was an episode where each Smurf tried to do another one's job, and failed. The moral of the story was apparently "Stick to what you do Best" or to put it another way, stick to what the society has chosen for you, or maybe just "You'll get what you get and like it!" Handy Smurf was always building.

Andreas Freise geboren am 24. Mai 1971 in Hildesheim 2003 Referent: Prof. K. Danzmann Korreferent: Prof. W. Ertmer Tag der Promotion: 04. Februar 2003 Druckdatum: 22. Februar 2003 Zusammenfassung Albert Einstein hat in seiner allgemeinen RelativitÄatstheorie die Existenz von Gravitationswellen vorhergesagt. Die direkte Me¼ung dieser Wellen ist eine der gro¼en Herausforderungen der Ex- perimentalphysik. Mit Hilfe eines Netzwerkes von Gravitationswellendetektoren wird es mÄoglich sein, das Universum unabhÄangig von elektro-magnetischer Strahlung zu beobachten. Die Gravita- tionswellenastronomie wird der Kosmologie und der Gravitationsphysik neue, bisher unerreichbare experimentelle Daten zur VerfugungÄ stellen. Zur Zeit werden weltweit funfÄ gro¼e interferometrische Gravitationswellendetektoren gebaut. Sie basieren auf klassischen Instrumenten wie z.B. dem Michelson-Interferometer. FurÄ die Suche nach Gravitationswellen ist allerdings eine extrem hohe, bisher unerreichte Me¼emp¯ndlichkeit notwen- dig. Diese soll durch den Einsatz von weiterentwickelten, optimierten Teilsystemen des Interfero- meters und durch die Entwicklung neuer Interferometertopologien erreicht werden.

  • A Textual Analysis of the Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21St Century Television
    A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE CLOSER AND SAVING GRACE: FEMINIST AND GENRE THEORY IN 21ST CENTURY TELEVISION Lelia M. Stone, B.A., M.P.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Committee Chair George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Sandra Spencer, Committee Member Albert Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Art Goven, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stone, Lelia M. A Textual Analysis of The Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21st Century Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 89 pp., references 82 titles. Television is a universally popular medium that offers a myriad of choices to viewers around the world. American programs both reflect and influence the culture of the times. Two dramatic series, The Closer and Saving Grace, were presented on the same cable network and shared genre and design. Both featured female police detectives and demonstrated an acute awareness of postmodern feminism. The Closer was very successful, yet Saving Grace, was cancelled midway through the third season. A close study of plot lines and character development in the shows will elucidate their fundamental differences that serve to explain their widely disparate reception by the viewing public.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.
