The Dame Edna Experience

overview:
The Dame Edna Experience is a British television comedy talk-show hosted by Dame Edna Everage. It ran for twelve regular episodes on ITV, plus two Christmas specials. The first seven aired for the first time in 1987, the next seven in 1989. It was directed by Ian Hamilton and Alasdair MacMillan and produced by London Weekend Television.

Regulars on the program, besides Dame Edna, were her "bridesmaid" Madge Allsop and Robin Houston who was the announcer, with orchestra conducted and arranged by Laurie Holloway.

Each program featured several celebrity guests, usually three, but some programs included up to eight guests. There would also be other invited "guests" like Kurt Waldheim and Imelda Marcos who once introduced at stage right would fall victim to a trap door or something similar and fail to make it to their chair.

The entire series was released on DVD by BBC Video in June 2004, and can now also be purchased as a complete set including the Christmas specials and the three An Audience with Dame Edna specials, plus other material.

The series was released for Region 2 by Network DVD in the UK in 2007, as a 4-disc set. For reasons unknown, the Region 2 release does not include the 1989 Christmas special "The Dame Edna Satellite Experience" that ended the second series and featured Ursula Andress, Yehudi Menuhin, and Robert Kilroy-Silk. It does, however, include the one-off 1990 Christmas special A Night On Mount Edna with guests Mel Gibson, Charlton Heston, Gina Lollobrigida and Julio Iglesias.

Grace Jones est une chanteuse, autrice-compositrice, actrice et ancien mannequin jamaïcaine, née le 19 mai 1948 à Spanish Town en Jamaïque.

Beverly Grace Jones est née en Jamaïque à Spanish Town le 19 mai 1948. Elle est la fille de Robert Winston Jones, un prédicateur jamaïcain de l'Église apostolique et de Marjorie Williams, dont le père était musicien auprès de Nat King Cole. Elle passe son enfance en Jamaïque avec ses parents et son frère jumeau Christian. Troisième de sept enfants, elle a deux sœurs et quatre frères et reçoit une éducation stricte, elle se rend à l'église trois fois par semaine. Lorsque ses parents partent vivre aux États-Unis, elle est élevée par ses grands-parents. À l'âge de douze ans, en 1960, elle part rejoindre ses parents à Syracuse dans l'État de New York. Adolescente, elle commence à se rebeller contre son éducation religieuse, on lui interdit de chanter à l'église avec son frère Christian qui est gay. Elle se met à jouer dans des pièces de théâtre après les cours.

C'est en s'installant à Paris que sa carrière va commencer. À l'âge de dix-huit ans, Grace Jones s'inscrit dans l'agence de mannequins Wilhelmina Models et emménage à Paris en 1970.

Elle apparaît sur les couvertures des magazines Elle, Vogue et Stern.

biography: Grace Jones (Jamaica, Spanish Town, 1948. május 19. –) jamaicai származású amerikai modell, énekesnő és színésznő. Eredeti neve: Grace Mendoza. A modellvilágban szerzett hírnevét az 1970-es évek közepétől kezdte kamatoztatni a popszakmában is. Mint „diszkókirálynő”, Donna Summer és Amanda Lear legnagyobb riválisaként emlegették, noha énekhangjának fogyatékosságait számos kritika érte a popsajtóban. Még időben műfajt váltott, s mire a diszkónak leáldozott, már új imázsa volt, és új zenei világot képviselt. Az 1980-as évek első felében megjelent albumait az addig vele igen szigorú kritikusok is többnyire elismerően méltatták. Filmszínésznői karrierjének két legjelentősebb darabja, a Conan, a pusztító és a James Bond-sorozat részeként készült Halálvágta ugyancsak a ’80-as évekből származik. Az 1990-es évektől kezdve mind a pop-, mind pedig a filmvilágban kiszorult az élvonalból, azonban 2008-ban a "Hurricane" című lemezével ismét hatalmas kritikai és közönségsikert ért el. 2012-ben fellépett II. Erzsébet brit királynő gyémántjubileuma alkalmából megrendezett ünnepségsorozaton. 2018-ban megkapta a Jamaica érdemrendjének keresztjét.

Matinee Theater

overview:
Matinee Theater is an American anthology series that aired on NBC during the Golden Age of Television, from 1955 to 1958. The series, which ran daily in the afternoon, was frequently live. It was produced by Albert McCleery, Darrell Ross, George Cahan and Frank Price with executive producer George Lowther. McCleery had previously produced the live series Cameo Theatre which introduced to television the concept of theater-in-the-round, TV plays staged with minimal sets.

Jim Buckley of the Pewter Plough Playhouse recalled:

When Al McCleery got back to the States, he originated a most ambitious theatrical TV series for NBC called Matinee Theater: to televise five different stage plays per week live, airing around noon in order to promote color TV to the American housewife as she labored over her ironing. Al was the producer. He hired five directors and five art directors. Richard Bennett, one of our first early presidents of the Pewter Plough Corporation, was one of the directors and I was one of the art directors and, as soon as we were through televising one play, we had lunch and then met to plan next week’s show. That was over 50 years ago, and I’m trying to think; I believe the TV art director is his own set decorator —yes, of course! It had to be, since one of McCleery’s chief claims to favor with the producers was his elimination of the setting per se and simply decorating the scene with a minimum of props. It took a bit of ingenuity.

biography:
Patrick Macnee, né le 6 février 1922 à Paddington, Londres (Angleterre), et mort le 25 juin 2015 à Rancho Mirage (Californie, États-Unis), est un acteur britannico-américain.

Patrick Macnee fait ses études dans le prestigieux collège d’Eton. Il se passionne ensuite pour le théâtre avant d’apparaître pour la première fois à l’écran en tant que figurant dans Pygmalion en 1938.

Les velléités de Macnee sont brutalement interrompues par la seconde guerre mondiale. Le britannique s’engage dans la Royal Navy durant le conflit armé. Après ses bons et loyaux services, le futur acteur suit des cours à la Webber Douglas School of Dramatic Art. Il enchaîne ensuite les rôles pour la télévision britannique. Déçu par la tournure que prend sa carrière au pays de sa Majesté, Macnee décide de s’expatier au Canada, puis aux USA.

Au pays de l’Oncle Sam, Macnee commence par construire son image de dandy fringant en jouant dans des productions populaires comme Alfred Hitchcock présente ou La Quatrième dimension. Il tourne également sous la direction de George Cukor dans Les Girls en 1957 avant de retourner dans son Angleterre natale au début des années 60.

C’est en 1961 que le britannique décroche le rôle de sa vie, celui du flegmatique John Steed dans la série TV Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir. Le show est un immense succès et propulse Patrick Macnee au rang de star internationale. Le comédien, costume seyant, chapeau sur la tête et parapluie en main, illumine de sa classe et de son élégance les petits écrans du monde entier. L’aventure Chapeau melon dure 6 saisons entre 1961 et 1969. Toutefois, dès 1968, la série bat de l’aile depuis le départ de Diana Rigg, partenaire historique de Macnee à l’écran dans son rôle d’Emma Peel.

Suite au départ de l’actrice, Macnee sombre dans une dépression et se voit contraint de soigner ses addictions au tabac et à l’alcool. Le comédien rebondit en jouant notamment dans Columbo ou Battlestar Galactica. Il reprend également son rôle de John Steed en 1976 le temps de deux petites saisons d’une nouvelle formule de Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir.

Durant les années 80, l’acteur est plus présent au cinéma en prêtant son flegme britannique pour Joe Dante dans Hurlements ou pour le français Roger Vadim dans The Hot touch. Il donne la réplique en 1985 à l’agent secret de sa Majesté, James Bond alias Roger Moore dans Dangereusement vôtre et incarne un monument de la culture britannique, John Watson, dans Sherlock Holmes à New York, Sherlock Holmes and the Leading lady et Incident at Victoria Falls aux côtés de Christopher Lee. Il est également Sir Dennis Eaton-Hogg pour le faux documentaire culte sur fond de rock n’roll, Spinal Tap.

Le mythique acteur se fait ensuite plus rare dans les années 90 en se contentant d’apparaître dans des séries TV comme Caraïbes Offshore, Arabesque, Jeux d’espions ou Diagnostic : Meurtre. En 1998, il fait un caméo dans l’adaptation cinématographique de Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir dans le rôle de L’invisible Jones. Il prend ensuite sa retraite au début des années 2000. Le comédien nous quitte en juin 2015 à l’âge avancé de 93 ans.
