I agree that the movie was unfaithful to Doctorow - mainly because it took =

very much peripheral roles. However, within that limitation, Mandy's part =

I wonder if Mandy is going to both ceremonies. I am not sure that the
"people from Frasier" will be at the August 28 ceremony. (Perhaps when
Mandy made this comment to the reporter, he didn't even know which ceremony
his award category is presented at.)

Actually Michael Rupert is playing the role now on Broadway (I saw him
perform the role in DC). Michael Rupert was the original Marvin in Falsettos
on Broadway, which is the role Mandy eventually stepped into during the run.

Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 01:41:26 EDT
Has someone posted this? Wondering because I can't believe I'm posting
before TT. But I don't remember this being posted, so here goes:
>From People, Aug. 30: Show of the Week: Strange Justice, Showtime (Sun.,
Aug. 29, 8 p.m. ET)
"In 1991 the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings left the country sharply
divided over whether the Supreme Court nominee had sexually harassed his
former subordinate. And the audience isn't likely to reach a unanimous
verdict on this adaptation of Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson's searching 1994
book about the case. Some will criticize director Ernest Dickerson (Juice)
for his legerdemain with news footage, particularly a Forest Gump moment when
Delroy Lindo, who plays Thomas, appears to be standing beside President Bush.
Some will fault the filmmaker's decision to present the Senate Judiciary
Committee testimony of Thomas and Hill (Regina Taylor) as stylized
psychodrama. Here, when Thomas portrays himself as the victim of a
"high-tech lynching," he strips off his shirt and turns his necktie into a
noose.
But none can deny the strength of the lead performances: Lindo, proud,
enigmatic and indignant; Taylor, profoundly human as a woman torn between the
demands of conscience and the desire for privacy; and a Machiavellian Mandy
patinkin as Kenneth Duberstein, the spin doctor steering Thomas toward
confirmation.
Bottom Line: Argue about it, but see it."
So, Machiavellian Mandy's part is again being called a "lead". Kewl. Shirt
thing sounds a little bogus, but we'll see. They've certainly punched up the
Duberstein part from the book.
Has the "in the car" picture (I think Tanja has it on her site).

Well, these are obviously video release dates. The actual production must
have been shown in the early sixties (I vaguely remember it, and how long

EArly sixties seems about right. I was a teenager and remember watching
and finding Stuart Damon absolutely gorgeous.

to which I add (for all good General Hospital fans) or Stuart Damon so slim
and handsome. He still is great at the role he plays, but he has thickened
considerably with age (he's not alone, so have I).

Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" was originally presented on television
in 1957 with Julie Andrews. In 1965 Lesley Ann Warren starred in the remake.
Brandy rounds out television's Cinderellas in the 1997 Disney production
which included songs from other Richard Rodgers' shows ("Falling in Love with
Love" from Boys from Syracuse {lyrics by Lorenz Hart}--had to give Bernadette
Peters a showstopper and "The Sweetest Sounds" from No Strings--sung by
Brandy and Paolo Montalban as the Prince).
I was 5 in 1965 and remember vividly Lesley Ann Warren, Stuart Damon, Celeste
Holm, Ginger Rogers and Walter Pidgeon in their roles. My little girl
fantasies of princes and princesses, fairy godmothers, and queens and kings
were made up of images from this show. And I wanted a dress just like the
one Cinderella wore to the ball!
