Rosanna Arquette informally interviews many actresses about being a woman in the entertainment industry: Alfre Woodard, Robin Wright Penn, Alley Sheedy, Martha Plimpton, Samantha Mathis, Debra Winger, Emmanual Beart, Patricia Arquette, Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, Vanessa Redgrave, and others. Jane Fonda : But the one thing I miss is when it does work.. when you step into the light and you hit your first mark and all of the channels are open and it happens and it's like a plane taking off... ~ ~ ~ Martha
Plimpton : Humor. Intelligence. Talent.
Imagination.
Bravery. Skill. When you eliminate all those things, what have you got? |
 Laura
Dern: We need to keep our hearts open when there's so much fear. We feel
it in relationships, we feel it politically, globallly. We feel it in
our work.
I just pray we have the great good fortune, as people and as artists in this country, to freely express ourselves, and be in our joy. We are so blessed. |

Uta Hagen's Acting Class video set ".. the viewer will learn that in Uta Hagen's classes, acting is doing. Not thinking or feeling, but in action. Clear and practical, her teaching is behavior based. 'It's in the doing that we believe.'
The videos, 90 Minutes each, provide illuminating examples of her teaching points selected from two hundred hours of recorded classes over a two year period.
All ten of her famous 'Object Exercises' are performed and critiqued. We watch as the actors/students present their scene and Uta gives her comments. As the student re-works the scene, we actually see her guide the student to be better." [publisher summary]

Cradle Will Rock 'The art and theater world of 1930's New York City... As labor strikes break out throughout the country, New York City is alive with a burgeoning cultural revolution... Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) commissions Mexican artist Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades) to paint the lobby of Rockefeller Center, while Italian propagandist Margherita Sarfatti (Susan Sarandon) sells Da Vincis to millionaires to fund the Mussolini war effort. A paranoid ventriloquist (Bill Murray) tries to rid his vaudeville troupe of communists, and a 22-year-old Orson Welles (Angus MacFadyen) directs his Federal Theater group in an infamous stage production of "The Cradle Will Rock," closed down on the eve of its opening by U.S. soldiers. Based on true events, "Cradle Will Rock" relives an exciting and dangerous time in American history, when individual courage prevailed over censorship, and artists risked their livelihood by continuing to perform and paint according to conscience."

Illuminata "Mostly set in a teeming warren of private and performance spaces within a turn-of-the-century theater, the film follows the fluctuating fortunes of playwright Tuccio (John Turturro), his lover-muse-leading lady (Katherine Borowitz, Turturro's offscreen wife), and their colorful company: Rufus Sewell and Georgina Cates, youthful, less wise projections of playwright and muse; Ben Gazzara as a grizzled old thespian forgetful of the line between reality and performance; Bill Irwin as the naive bit player who catches the hungry eye of Christopher Walken's deliciously over-the-top, acid-tongued critic; Susan Sarandon as a calculatingly seductive diva fighting her age..." from review by Kathleen Murphy

Louise Brooks: Looking For Lulu
[Amazon.com:] "Narrated by Shirley Macline, this critically acclaimed documentary combines rare film footage and photographs with interviews with Brooks' friends, relatives and colleagues such as Francis Lederer, Brook's co-star from Pandora's Box, and actors Roddy McDowall and Dana Delany. Particularly fascinating is a rare, previously unseen interview with Louise Brooks, filmed in 1976.
