Members applcin Posted November 9, 2024 Members Share Posted November 9, 2024 (edited) Oh, wow, this stunned me. I'm mostly familiar with his various appearances in the Star Trek franchise. The DS9 episode, "The Visitor", where he plays an adult Jake Sisko, is one of the most highly regarded of the series. And in other episodes where he's under tons of makeup and prosthetics, that voice was unmistakeable.

Members Vee Posted November 9, 2024 Members Share Posted November 9, 2024 (edited) Tony Todd was an absolute legend. Candyman has never left my mind and his cameo/return in the (deeply underrated) revival film a few years ago was a big deal for me. His work in Trek is of course also great.

Members applcin Posted November 10, 2024 Members Share Posted November 10, 2024 The first time I heard of Judith Jamison was when she got the Kennedy Center Honor in 1999. I saved the video because I thought it was so beautiful. The AA dancers performed to Rocka My Soul and it's been on my playlist ever since.

Members applcin Posted November 10, 2024 Members Share Posted November 10, 2024 (edited) It's beautiful isn't it? I fell so in love with that performance at the time I promptly went and bought the Revelations by Alvin Ailey cd just for that song.

Members janea4old Posted November 10, 2024 Members Share Posted November 10, 2024 (edited) I had the amazing good fortune to see the Alvin Ailey company perform in the 1970s at my university. "Revelations" was something I will remember always. I just read that Barack Obama had a poster of Judith Jamison on his dorm room wall. I'm just a few years older than him, and I had a poster of Ms. Jamison on my wall, too! https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/aug/16/alvin-ailey-american-dance-theater-revelations-interviews Quote from Constance Stamatiou, dancer, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: "We performed at the White House, during the Obama administration. You know, Obama is a huge fan of Ms Jamison. Apparently he had a poster of her in his dorm room in college. He was super, super nice. I remember the dogs came in and the security guards, but it was heartwarming and just friendly and really cool." https://www.instagram.com/p/DCM67qixEwq/ michelleobama Judith Jamison was a true visionary in the world of dance. From the American Ballet Theatre to the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, she broke barriers and stirred souls with her grace and artistry. Over the years, Barack and I would watch her pieces for Alvin Ailey’s company whenever we could — and often brought our girls with us to see her gifts on display. We were lucky enough to host her and her dancers at the White House to showcase their extraordinary talent for the world to see. Today, Judith’s spirit will live on in all the dancers she’s inspired, in all the pieces she’s perfected, in all the audiences she has moved and uplifted. Barack and I send our love to her family, her dancers, and to all those around who looked up to her.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted November 11, 2024 Members Share Posted November 11, 2024 (edited) I hope I'm not duplicating. I looked but I didn't see it. Well, here goes. A great voice is lost to us. RIP Dorothy Allison b. 4-11-49 d. 11-5-24 (75) I personally own 2 of her short story collections: Trash, Two or Three Things I Know For Sure. Probably most famous for her novel that was made into a movie, Bastard Out of Carolina. She wrote many more books, short stories & even some poetry. She also won so many literary awards. Also she was included in so many anthologies. Her writing was known for being Southern, feminist & lesbian. She also dealt with childhood sexual abuse. I am sad that we have lost her.

Members All My Shadows Posted November 13, 2024 Members Share Posted November 13, 2024 Tony Todd's death creeped me out because the day before, I'd just read an article about how he turned down the chance to do a Candyman/Leprechaun crossover film because he respected and valued the Candyman character/story too much. I need to not even think about this right now because the original movie is still the only horror movie that has ever truly scared me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
