Yesterday Sunset Gun's Kim Morgan posted a very nice q & a interview with Eva Marie Saint. A little too nice, if you ask me. Older showbiz folk tend to either recall their lives in a naked-blunt Klaus Kinski style (i.e., "I'm too old to muddy my memories with even a smidgen of bullshit") or with excessive fondness. Saint lives in the latter camp. Every big name she's worked with (Marlon...

There's lots to like here, especially if, like me, you like Lethem--an escaped tiger wreaking havoc, giant urban conceptual-art pits in...

I was lucky enough thanks to a friend of mine to get hold of a ticket for this production by Stratford's Second Thoughts Theatre group and I have to say, 'who was a lucky boy then?' I also have to say that (head hung in shame), I originally I thought it would be fun to go just to listen to the Company mangle the American accents required. I stand corrected and I apologise. Not only were Second Thoughts...

In her first movie, she kissed Marlon Brando. And then she won an Oscar. How many actresses get that kind of a debut? But then, how many actresses are as wonderful as Eva Marie Saint? A performer (and woman) of elegance, vulnerability, charm, beauty, intelligence and great wit, Miss Saint remains, not just a movie star, but a real actor, one of the innovators. And...

There’s a huge star at the center of the Sydney Theatre Company’s much-hyped, Liv Ullman-directed, wholly satisfying new staging of A Streetcar Named Desire, which sold out its Kennedy Center run before the curtain rose on the first preview. I speak, of course, of the dramatist Tennessee Williams. That’s no slight on Cate Blanchett, who fronts, fights, twirls and finally, crawls...
