Does anyone know how to get a hold of a copy of "The Hunchback",
supposedly done in 1997? I got an E=mail from a teacher wanting to show
that video to her class. Any help would be awesome.

I wonder if MP still feels this way, since DEK is not writing many episodes

My daughter recently got scared seeing part of a movie, and the night before
my Ragtime excursion, I was scrambling for daycare so I could go, trying to
fill out forms in time for the next day and a new temp daycare provider. So
I got on the web and found the lyrics for "In my own little corner..." and
sang it to her over and over and over (and did I say over) as I tried to fill
out forms, sitting on the floor of her room. The bright side is, I now know
the song! :) And I got to go to B'way!

When I originally saw it, probably in 1986, as Sherry suggests, he was still
pretty slim on GH. But not quite so completely gorgeous as in Cinderella.
And what a nice voice, though something about Lesley Anne Warren's voice
grates on me, some strain in it or something. I kind of liked Brandy as
Cinderella, though I have to agree with my friend Thelma, who thinks that
version was too ethnic, despite her own African American descent. What the
heck, suspension of disbelieve. After all, impossible things are happening
every day.

Actually, though Tateh's role in the play was a large one (and I haven't read
the book), I felt that it was nevertheless peripheral to what seemed to be
the main story, that of Coalhouse Walker and all of the connections he has to
Mother, Father, etc. The Tateh story, until the end, developed parallel to
the other, but other than some brief meetings, really didn't relate until
Atlantic City.

So it sounds like there IS a connection there in the movie?

On TV??!! I'd give anything for a copy of that! Does anyone know where I
could get one????? Even if my daughter likes the other one better, no one
can compete with Julie Andrews as far as I'm concerned.

Was Ginger Rogers the queen?
My daughter was so thrilled when I took her to see a youth theater production
of the play a few weeks ago, she enthused, "I want the girl who plays
Cinderella to be my sister!" She asked her name, and I told her it was Cara.
When she said she wanted to meet her, I decided to begin passing on the joy
of stalking and brought her backstage afterwards, where not only Cara, but
also the fairy godmother and 2 girls my daughter didn't have the faintest
idea who they were signed her program. As we walked away, Emily sighed, "I'm
going to keep this forever. And I'm going to give it to my children
someday." All in all, I think it was probably the best night we've ever
spent together. :)

Funny, I seem to remember watching it right around that time, interested
mostly because at the time I watched Stuart Damon on General Hospital. But
doesn't it seem older than that? I don't remember Stuart Damon looking that
young on General Hospital, even in 1986, though I am pretty sure that's when
I saw it on TV.

Wasn't Julie Andrews in it in the early 60's though? And wouldn't it have
likely been in black and white back then? I don't say that to sound dumb,
but wasn't most made-for-TV stuff, as I'm assuming this was, in black and
white at that time? How many people even had color TV's?

My 5 yr old niece also loves Cinderella, though she prefers the
Brandy/Whitney Houston version- wish they had made a CD of the music,
but heard that the record company weasels wouldn't let that happen.
Typical.
Side note, slightly on this topic....I was watching Bernadette Peters'
PBS special (Sondheim, Etc.) and my niece came in the room, curled up
next to me on the couch and said "What is this? I really like her
singing!!!" I decided to see if she recognized BP from Cinderella, gave
her a hint, and she got it, and then asked if we could watch the whole
thing together!!! Her favorite song was Not A Day Goes By, and she
wanted to know how you can "sing that word for such a long time without
stopping." (Holding the last note of the song.) Yep, we're definitely
raising this child to love musical theater!!
Sorry this is so long,

Subject: re: Mandy in New York Times: Strange Justice
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 20:55:32 EDT
Hi all,
The Times ran an article on Strange Justice today---not a review just an
article. Here are the Mandy parts:
By BERNARD WEINRAUB
HOLLYWOOD -- What more is there to say about the 10 days of riveting Senate
confirmation hearings in October 1991 whose two main participants -- Clarence
Thomas and Anita Hill -- seem, even now, enigmas?
Much more, say the makers of "Strange Justice," a Showtime movie that has its
premiere next Sunday.
The movie stars Delroy Lindo as Justice Thomas and Regina Taylor as Ms. Hill.
Mandy Patinkin also plays a central role, as Kenneth Duberstein, a Washington
insider who had been hired by President George Bush to lead the political and
public relations campaign for the nomination.
At the center of the real-life drama, as depicted in the film, was
Duberstein, a likable, shrewd moderate Republican consultant who had been a
chief of staff in the Reagan White House. He handled the Thomas nomination
for the Bush administration. "With Duberstein, we tried to find the moral
center, the person holding the different pieces together," Epstein said.
As portrayed by Patinkin, Duberstein had his own doubts about Thomas'
veracity, but he remained a good soldier. "I didn't try to play -- or be --
the real Ken Duberstein," said Patinkin, a familiar Broadway performer who is
also returning to the television series "Chicago Hope" this fall. "I was
playing an individual who was hired to do a big job. And in the course of
that, the individual realized that the person he represented was lying."
None of the actual participants in the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill story have
seen the film or participated in the making of it. Patinkin said Duberstein
had sent him a friendly letter offering to meet, but Patinkin refused.
"The last time I was asked to play a historical figure was in the film
'Heartburn,' where I was playing Carl Bernstein," said Patinkin. "I met with
Carl and with Bob Woodward. And then Mike Nichols, the director, fired me and
hired Jack Nicholson, whom he wanted from the very start." He laughed. "It
was not on my agenda ever again to meet the historical person I was to play."
