The film is the first to be directed by Harold Ramis, who was one of the authors of ''Animal House,'' and who wrote this script with Douglas Kenney and Brian Doyle-Murray, who is a brother of Bill Murray, the star of ''Meatballs'' and one of the stars of ''Caddyshack.'' Do you follow me? In addition to Mr. Murray, who plays the country club's slobbish, possibly retarded, assistant greenskeeper, the cast includes Michael O'Keefe, who is so fine in ''The Great Santini'' but who is almost invisible as the principal caddie in this movie; Ted Knight as the club's most starchy member; Chevy Chase as a playboy so nonchalant he seems not to be in the movie but just sort of visiting it, and the irrepressible Rodney Dangerfield as the club's nouveau riche boor, a most endearing loudmouth who is inclined to say such things as, ''This steak still has the marks where the jockey hit it.'' Among the pretty young women who get mixed up in the plot are Sarah Holcomb and Cindy Morgan. ''Caddyshack'' is a pleasantly loose-limbed sort of movie with some comic moments, most of them belonging to Mr. Dangerfield, who predates ''Animal House'' by a number of years. The movie might have been made for television except for the rough language and one gag (funny) involving a Baby Ruth candy bar. It's not as funny as ''Cheech and Chong's Next Movie,'' but it is less pushy than ''Meatballs.'' It is not as thickly stocked with outrageous moments as ''Animal House,'' yet it is far easier to take than ''Where the Buffalo Roam.'' Mr. Murray is funny mostly because he tries so hard. He reminds me of an usually clean-cut, buttoned-down type of suburban fellow who, after two or three stiff drinks, delights his pals with his uninhibited impressions of slobs and boors. You don't for a minute believe him - you are always aware of the distance between the performer and the performance, but you appreciate the effort and the intelligence behind it. ''Caddyshack'' opens today at Loews State 2 and other theaters. Loose-Limbed Romp CADDYSHACK, directed by Harold Ramis; written by Brian Doyle-Murray, Mr. Ramis and Douglas Kenney; director of photography, Stevan Larner; edited by William Carruth; music by Johnny Mandel; produced by Douglas Kenney; released by Warner Bros. At Loews State 2, Broadway and West 45th Street; New York Twin I, Second Avenue and 66th Street; 83d Street I, at Broadway; Waverly, Avenue of the Americas at Waverly Place and other theaters.

From the Arkansas Democrat Gazette: Barry Clifton’s method acting February 10, 2023 at 1:31 a.m. by AL TOPICH Special to the Democrat-Gazette If you were to, right now, go to your television, open up the Peacock streaming app, search for the hit modern day Western "Yellowstone," scroll over to season five, episode one titled "Tall Drink of Water," you would see a group of ranchers causing a ruckus in front of their state's lawmakers, complaining about wolves that have been introduced to the Montana wilderness. Leading this charge of near riotous cowboys is the character Miles Tatum, played by Arkansas-based actor Barry Clifton. The tall and grizzled Tatum firmly stands his ground asserting that these wolves are eating up his cattle. After being dismissed, he takes a step forward to lead his fellow ranchers into a loud engagement with the politicians. It's a short but effective scene, and it's always a joy seeing an Arkansan on screen, especially one who's a prominent figure in our own local film community. This past weekend Clifton hosted an acting seminar in conjunction with Women in Film Arkansas (WiFA) at the University of Central Arkansas. WiFA is a "nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate, empower and inspire women to pursue careers in all areas of cinematic professions." Even though WiFA's focus is on women in film, they welcome the support of the male filmmakers in our local community, like that of Barry Clifton. Clifton, like the name of his episode of Yellowstone, is a tall glass of water as he towers over most people, looking down at them with his gruff, white beard. His appearance is slightly intimidating to say the least, but his voice and his demeanor were much more gentle when he took the time to shake every person's hand in the classroom and genuinely have a short conversation. He then proceeded with the class by showing his different head shots. Each one represents a different character type: the sleazy businessman, the down on his luck bum, and the caring grandfather, each look drastically different from the last, yet somehow each fitting in their own way. He is a man of a million faces. The first half of the lecture focused more on the technicalities of how to do a "self tape," when actors deliver lines into a camera and record themselves. They then send these taped, cold readings to casting directors in hopes of being cast in movies or television shows. After going over the "dos" and "do nots" of self taping, Clifton went into more details about the art of auditioning and explaining what to expect once getting cast. He said that "the real job is auditioning, getting hired for a role is just a promotion," as he pointed out just how many auditions he does a year, and what a small number of those prove to be fruitful. After the nearly three-hour lecture, I sat down with Clifton to talk about his career and his newfound success. The first thing he made clear was that he has been told for years that he couldn't be a serious actor while calling Arkansas his home -- he wanted to be the exception to that rule. Now, Clifton has nearly 45 credits to his name, from low-budget student short films all the way up to big-budget movies with theatrical releases. He has co-starred in projects with some of the most notable names in Hollywood: Renee Zellweger, John Malkovich and Tatum O'Neal, to name a few. Clifton got into acting relatively late in life and his backstory is a complex one. As a boy, growing up around the hanging gallows of Fort Smith, Clifton would take part in stage plays put on by the Musical Theatre at The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith. He was encouraged by his mother to pursue the arts. But then after the death of his father, Clifton went through a dark period where he claims to have just "forgot" how much acting meant to him. He would later drop out of high school and join the Marine Corps. Acting would stay forgotten to him for a few decades as he pursued other ventures. In the '90s, Clifton found his way back to the stage to star in Shakespearean productions. By the year 2000, he was on his first film set for the movie "Chasing the Dragon" with one line of dialogue as the character "Utility Man." From that point on he has continued working on films of all sizes and budgets, from working with first-time student directors to working with veteran film crews. Each set is more than just a job for Clifton, it is a learning experience. I asked him what his approach to acting was, or if he was a method actor. He responded honestly and openly that he had no method, "the life I lived between high school, the Marines, and now is my method." Clifton has spent the last few years giving back to the local acting community. He's one of the biggest proponents in the state for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). He said that SAG is one of the big things that changed his career. He became eligible to join the guild after being cast in "God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness." It was from that point on that he was able to get a manager and an agent and was able to fully realize his dream. At his age, Clifton realizes he's not going to have a Brad Pitt level career. All he's hoping to do is leave a little piece of art, and in essence himself, behind before he shuffles off into the sunset. Until that day comes, he's going to keep sending off the self tapes and wait for the next promotion.

Members slick jones Posted January 15 Author Members Share Posted January 15 (edited) It's the board "upgrades" that are the problem. It took me twice the time just to add pictures I already used on the board. I haven't had anything removed in a while, but I was messaged not to post my opinions is certain poster's threads. My opinions are to be kept to myself, even about the shows, apparently. Too much vitriol in my posts I'm told. I share my opinions elsewhere, where I'm welcome to. TPTB here showed me in a message my worth here. If not for friends I've made here, I'd have left when Victoria Foxton was shown the door.

Ms. Wagner delivered the show's first line in 1956, and she was on live television, debating whether her soap son should remarry his faithless ex-wife, when Walter Cronkite broke in to announce that President Kennedy had been shot. The character she created became an icon for a generation of women who understood her mostly futile attempts to run the perfect household and raise the perfect children. Nancy was Donna Reed with real problems in the days before soap characters traveled through time, engaged in espionage or almost routinely were reunited with evil twins. Ms. Wagner's evolution as Nancy Hughes offers a window on how the soaps have changed, technically and socially, since organ music dramatized the shocking discovery that Nancy's grandson had been caught stealing change from his father's trousers. Her life on the soap has taken her from sparring with a rebellious teen-age daughter to coping with a husband's Alzheimer's disease -- from a time when an illicit affair on the show drew sacks of hate mail to a current story line about a woman carrying a baby conceived with an egg donated by her daughter, whom her much younger husband seems to be falling for. No one else has lasted so long in a medium populated mostly by young actors hoping to join soap alumnae like Meg Ryan and Demi Moore in Hollywood. But for older actors -- particularly women -- for whom roles are in short supply, soaps represent lucrative, steady work and attract veterans like Anne Meara and Claire Bloom, who are on the current daytime roster. Ms. Wagner, who is 75, will not discuss her salary, but most soap stars make upward of $100,000 a year. "She's a beloved presence in the soap world," says Jason Bonderoff, managing editor of Soap Opera Digest, who calls her "daytime's answer to Angela Lansbury." Ms. Wagner has had some dry periods, including three years in the early 80's when she had no contract and appeared on screen only occasionally. But her longevity on the show, at 38 years and counting, is remarkable in a world in which a lifetime is 13 weeks -- the standard contract length. "What actor has that kind of run?" says Dan Frazer, Ms. Wagner's television husband, formerly a police captain on the series "Kojak." He proudly notes his own 10-year stint on the show. Before she signed a 13-week contract at the age of 37, Ms. Wagner, who is from Lubbock, Tex., had been a singer and stage actress, sometimes working as a church soloist to pay the rent. She had roles in "Oklahoma!" and "The Bad Seed" on Broadway, played Blanche opposite Lee Marvin in a touring production of "A Streetcar Named Desire," and often did television drama in days when the medium was experimental and actors were sometimes unpaid. In her early soap days, she received fan mail addressed simply "Nancy Hughes, New York City," much of it seeking -- and offering -- household advice. One woman wrote to complain that Nancy had allowed her television daughter, Penny, to lick her fingers while icing a cake. ("Disgusting!") Her favorite note reads: "Nancy: You do the dirtiest, filthiest thing on TV. You put your cup towel over your shoulder. I wish you'd stop it and stop Penny from doing it, too. Signed, Four Clean People from Trenton." Now most of her mail asks for advice on dealing with Alzheimer's or congratulates her on her realistic treatment of the subject. In the 50's, Nancy epitomized middle-class suburban motherhood, and viewers loved her Depression-era values: she was well scrubbed but never fashionable, fought with her lawyer husband over things like joining the country club, which she considered elitist, and chose to vacuum her own rugs, thank you, because she was uncomfortable supervising hired help. Neither Nancy nor her husband ever had so much as an extramarital flirtation, but there were major disagreements, as when her husband suggested that his brother the ex-convict move in with them. And she didn't speak to him for weeks after he asked her to testify in a murder case; she considered such an appearance unseemly, even if her friend had been done in. Clips from the 60's show scenes like a downhearted kindergarten teacher, a friend of Nancy's daughter, saying she is trying to "at least do something useful with my time," and getting a lecture from her mother, who advises a serious manhunt. Married women dusted (in pearls and high heels) if they were good and lounged if they were bad. Minorities were largely absent, everyone was middle class, and absolutely nothing was played for laughs. Between scenes were the commercials that put the soap in soap opera, like the one featuring Mrs. Sandra Young, who an announcer says has agreed to test the softness of laundry washed in Ivory Snow. Closing her eyes, Mrs. Young tries mightily to detect which of her cheeks is being rubbed with a cotton ball, and which with a diaper washed in Ivory Snow. ("That's crazy!" she cries. "I chose the diaper!") In those days, Nancy spent lots of time trying to run her children's lives, but even more time discussing her efforts. Irna Phillips, who created the show, "always said she wrote for women with half an eye on the television screen and half on the ironing board or the cooking," Ms. Wagner says, "so you only had to watch two or three days a week to stay with the story." The most heralded changes in soaps have been the introduction of steamy love scenes and story lines involving social problems from racism to AIDS. But soaps today are also funnier and faster paced and driven more by story than character. "It used to be like dropping in to see what your friends the Hughes were up to that day," Ms. Wagner says. Often, they weren't doing much. In one scene from the early 60's, the Hugheses' friends the Lowell family spent a very long time discussing whether they liked their den or their living room better. The show was taped live until 1976, the same year it was expanded to an hourlong format. When President Kennedy was shot, the actors finished the entire half-hour episode without knowing anything had happened. The show's organist told them the news as they left the studio. "That's my dubious claim to fame," Ms. Wagner says in her dressing room before rehearsal. "I'm in the Smithsonian on tape, saying, 'I gave it a great deal of thought, Grandpa,' as Cronkite broke the story." As the years passed, even Nancy changed with the times, shocking all of the television town of Oakdale, a Chicago suburb, by falling for a blue-collar kind of guy within a year after the 1986 death of her longtime television husband, Don MacLaughlin. She shocked Ms. Wagner too, who felt it was "much too soon" for Nancy to remarry. THROUGH IT ALL, MS. WAGNER endured. One fan from White Plains, N.Y., says her character has maintained a following because she's a comforting presence who "really brings a lot of family feeling." "My grandmother who died last week watched her, my mother has been watching her since before I was born, and I tape the show every day," says Melissa Weisstuch, 33, a public relations executive with a medical center. And, as Don Hastings, who has played Nancy's son Bob since 1960 says, "Even for viewers, there's a comfort in seeing someone employed for that long." Her colleagues say she remains remarkably enthusiastic about her work, has a reputation for helping younger actors and strenuously objects to dialogue that is un-Nancylike. She also spends off hours reading about Alzheimer's. "Not a week goes by that she doesn't hand me a sheet about some new article on it," says Mr. Frazer. She still likes to meet fans too, though she draws the line at those who try to hug her in the supermarket. And she has reluctantly stopped having lunch with the friends of friends who are fans. "They want to talk to Nancy, and I can't tell them about Penny and Bob," she says. "It's so unsatisfactory for the people you're trying to please." On the set at an indecent hour on a recent morning -- Ms. Wagner still gets up at 4:30 A.M. and drives from her home in Westchester County to a CBS studio in Manhattan for early rehearsals -- she came running with false eyelashes in hand, ready to begin what she calls "the improving process" of makeup and hairstyling. "I can't stand to be late," she says. "I'm from the theater, where if you're late you're fired." Her major scene this day involves a tiff with her friend Ellen, played by Patricia Bruder. Ellen suggests a support group, and Nancy reacts angrily, refusing to believe that she might need help. In the control room, the director stops the tape several times for a conspicuous boom shadow, an actress who seems to be whispering her lines and a scene that just doesn't play. Then someone says, "Cue the ladies." Ms. Wagner's scene is taped in one take. Her husband and manager, Bob Willie, appears in her dressing room, and they leave together for home. So will she tune in this afternoon? "No, I'm simply not used to watching television during the day," she says, smiling. "Anyway, I have books to read, a house to clean, needlepoint to do."
