Westerns used to be staple fare on TV in past decades, before they fell out of favor but a western series with a difference revived the genre when Dr Quinn Medicine Woman ran from 1993-1998.

Although seen as family entertainment, the series was not afraid to tackle social issues in its stories. These were often on the theme of race relations and feminism.

I felt bad for a buddy of mine who pursued an entertainment job diligently, but came up with nothing. He swears it’s his image. He looks nothing like the typical handsome leading man. To be completely frank, this will hurt anyone searching for an entertainment job. Well, if it’s in acting anyway. Hollywood is always searching for the next talented pretty face. If you’re not up-to-par in the image category, you’ve got a major strike against you.

I have seen over the years some gorgeous, stunning, and rare Marilyn Monroe pictures that seem more representative of the Marilyn Monroe who was a person, too.  One of my favorites is the shot of her working out.  She is laying with her back to the bench press, holding small dumbbells up in front of her.  She is dressed in jeans and a bathing suit top.  The photo is black and white, shot by Phillipe Halsman in Hollywood in 1952.  Simple, real.

Until the 1950’s, Hollywood was controlled by seven major motion picture studios. More importantly it was controlled by moguls, all of whom were men they of eastern European descent, who ruled the studio in the same way that the kings of their previous countries ruled the peasants. Creative control belonged to the mogul, while the money was always controlled by the New York bankers, the so-called “Suits”.

For the last three years I have been reviewing books on acting for a drama weekly. However, I haven’t yet found a book on acting that compares to real acting experience. Now, I’m not saying that acting books are worthless because they have their place. These books contain an almost encyclopedic discussion of various acting methodologies and approaches. These books also can also provide useful contact information that might take a while to find on your own. Nevertheless, a book on acting cannot take the place of a good acting course.

Are you a fan of of Late Night tv’s Craig Fergusan??? I am!

Craig Fergusan has this fiery spirit and gung ho attitude that once you get used to his personality, his performance rises above the rest and puts this man right up there in brilliance aside great comedic minds and the other great comedians I admire.

These days it’s not an unusual sight to see movie-related products on store shelves. I expect that kind of thing from Disney or Pixar movies for sure, but didn’t realize that this type of marketing extended to so many other films as well. For example, I’ve seen so much Napoleon Dynamite merchandise over the last couple years that I finally gave in and watched the movie. I had heard of it of course, but had managed to avoid it because it just didn’t seem like my kind of film. But its popularity definitely had me intrigued, and since there was such great demand for t-shirts and other stuff, I had to see what all the fuss was about.

An article about the latest movies   by Bob Renner

How many of the latest movies are 50 percent CG? Yes, I’m talking about computer graphics. This is one of the wonderful aspects of film now-a-days. Not because it requires less of the actors or film crew, but because it allows us to believe. Everything looks so real that we forget we are watching a fantasy world. That’s truly a great aspect of film. You can get lost in it for a while. More recently I watched the movie, Silent Hill, and it did a fabulous job with special effects. I don’t know how they would have made the film without them. On a different note, the cool thing about going to the movie theater these days is the convenience.

This article is about glamour and commercial modeling. Facial expressions are a simple tool many photographers models overlook so hope this will give you something to think about if you are serious about becoming a professional female photographers model. Facial expressions are basically inherited.

They come from a long line of “mamas” and “papas” and “grandmas” and grandpas” so you’re stuck with what you received, right?

Not necessarily.

There are ways to alter some of your expressions although your facial expressions will remain your own up to a point.

That crazy Borat is at it again. This time he learns to drive in America and learns that it’s illegal to shoot people in the state of Nevada where he was gambling.

Nicole Kidman is one of most highly paid actresses in Hollywood right now, commanding more than $17 million per picture, which is a substantial increase from her first films that only paid $200,000 each. Most of Nicole’s fans know that she is from Australia, but what they don’t know is that she was born in Hawaii, and then lived in Washington, DC for a time before her parents returned to their native country with their daughters.

Anne Of Green Gables had characters that I, and my friends, could relate to. Although I loved Anne and would have loved to be more like her, it was her friend Dianna that I knew was just like me. Dianna gave me confidence to trust who I was. Dianna helped me to see that even though I was outgoing and boisterous like Anne, people like me were important, too.

However we each first “met” Beyonce Knowles, her fans will tell you what’s more important is her skill and appeal as a stylized performer, her grace as a high-profile celebrity, and her beneficent contributions to charities and non-profit causes. And her R & B singing, her range, her versatility, and her beautiful and graceful stage presence all contribute to the star’s gifts and, subsequently, to her popularity.

After meeting the infamous artist Prince, she signed as ‘Carmen Electra’ to his record label, Paisley Park. After Carmen released her first album, it quickly became clear to all involved that Carmen’s voice would never allow her to make it on her own. In a bold move, Carmen decided to show-off another side of herself and pose nude in Playboy for the March, 1996 issue.

With her Playboy appearances, Pamela Anderson was a North American celebrity already, but it wasn’t until she began her TV acting career that she garnered worldwide fame. Her career as an actress began with two series on the television series Home Improvement, in 1991 and 1992. When Pamela Anderson starred on the series Baywatch in 1992, she became an overnight international celebrity. She continued on the Baywatch series until 1997.

Her shopping prowess does not stop at buying clothing for herself. To aid in her recovery, she purchased an adorable chihuahua puppy a few months ago. Obviously, she named her Tinkerbell, in honor of the one-and-only Paris Hilton! Tinkerbell would definitely give her namesake a run for her money, for she has nearly as many hot little outfits as my sister does! What is more, many of these are matching outfits complete with carrier bag, so that little Tink can accompany my sister on all of her shopping excursions in the height of style. Paris would be so proud!

Not missing a beat, Carmen Electra was still nonetheless a celebrity, making appearances on television and in movies. In 1996, she posed for Hugh Hefners Playboy magazine which of course immediately boosted her renown in both good and bad ways. In 1997 and 1998 she starred in the TV series Baywatch, with Pamela Anderson. Also in 1997, she hosted a couple of shows on MTV. In 1998 she married the eccentric basketball star, Dennis Rodman, and the couple was separated nine days later.
