'Smash's' Anjelica Huston on John Steinbeck playing Santa Claus and Marlon Brando's influence
14 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Zap2it: You grew up around so many legends, who stands out for you?
Anjelica Huston: I grew up with a lot of interesting people like Carson McCullers and Arthur Miller and a lot of very interesting people who weren't necessarily Hollywood. There was a Japanese samurai who came over to Ireland (where her father lived in a castle in Ireland), and who, according to my father, was only allowed to cry three times in his life. It was extremely diverse. I met John Steinbeck. He was so kind and funny and sweet and affable and dear. I was 7 or 8 when he played Santa Claus for us. He used to write lovely letters. John Steinbeck used to sign his letters with a pigasus -- a pig with wings.
Zap2it: Who influenced you?
Anjelica Huston: Marlon Brando. I was maybe 10 or 11 or 9. My father was about to make "Reflections in a Golden Eye. »

The Tony Nominations Are In
1 May 2012 7:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical. »

Reuters ‘Once’ with Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti.
In a diverse theater season with no clear frontrunner, the Tony Award nominations announced Tuesday morning swept across the board, with nods to major star vehicles like “Death of a Salesman,” offbeat newcomers including the new musical “Once,” work by Broadway veterans such as “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and classic revivals with “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess.”
As expected, “Death of a Salesman” scored big. The play with a »

Dustin Hoffman and me
27 April 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
When John Burnham Schwartz was a boy, Dustin Hoffman was a regular guest. But what did the actor learn from the breakdown of John's parents' marriage?
It was August 1979, a rainy night in an old beach house on the Atlantic coast. I was 14 years old. John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men was on my summer reading list for school and, after dinner, as my family drifted back into the living room to sit by the fire, one of our house guests – a famous, energetic and physically unprepossessing actor with a prominent nose and flat, nasal voice – picked up my copy of the book, opened it at the first page and began performing it aloud, inhabiting the disparate minds and voices of the protagonists George and Lennie with uncanny precision. At first, self-conscious smiles appeared in our makeshift audience, though we quickly realised that this extraordinary display was no laughing matter. »
Quiara Alegria Hudes Wins Pulitzer Prize For Drama
16 April 2012 3:18 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — Quiara Alegria Hudes's play "Water by the Spoonful," about an Iraq war veteran struggling to find his place in the world, has won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for drama, leaving its author in a "daze."
The drama, which was produced last fall at Hartford Stage Company in Connecticut, was called an "imaginative play about the search for meaning" by the Columbia University's prize board on Monday.
"I'm still kind of in a daze about it but I'm very excited," she said by phone from Middletown, Conn., where she is teaching a play writing workshop to undergraduates at Wesleyan University. "I'm really delighted that something that was a little off the beaten path was considered."
Hudes, 34, previously wrote the book for the Broadway show "In the Heights," which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2008. Her play "Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue" was a finalist for the Pulitzer in »

Bradley Cooper, Patricia Clarkson join 'The Elephant Man' in Williamstown
16 April 2012 9:21 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Bradley Cooper, People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2011, is set to play a slightly less sexy role in the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s production of Bernard Pomerance’s The Elephant Man.
In a departure from previous pretty parts of performances past, Cooper takes on the role of John Merrick, a deformed man whose notoriety fascinates London’s Victorian high society (and interestingly enough, a role that Cooper played as part of his senior thesis for the Actor’s Studio Drama School).
Patricia Clarkson is set to star alongside Cooper as an actress who befriends the ‘Elephant Man’ in the hospital. »

Frank Langella Drops Names, Shares Memories (Video)
14 April 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal | See recent Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal news »
In his new book, “Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women As I Knew Them,” actor Frank Langella observes that Arthur Miller never once picked up the check after dinner, and Jackie Kennedy was a loving wife who once gave her husband the treat of meeting Noel Coward (by a stroke of serendipity, that was also when Langella met the former president).
Langella, a three-time Tony Award winner and an Academy Award nominee, said the idea for the book came when »

Dougray Scott To Star In Netflix’s ‘Hemlock Grove’
12 April 2012 10:38 AM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Exclusive: I’ve learned that Dougray Scott is in negotiations to play the male lead opposite Famke Janssen in Netflix’s new original series Hemlock Grove, from Eli Roth and Gaumont International TV. Written by Brian McGreevey and Lee Shipman based on McGreevy’s upcoming goth horror novel, Hemlock Grove revolves around the murder of a young girl found close to the former Godfrey steel mill. The suspects in her killing include Peter (Landon Liboiron), a 17-year-old Gypsy kid from the wrong side of the tracks, and Roman (Bill Skarsgard), the arrogant Godfrey scion, whose sister Shelley is disturbingly deformed and whose mother, Olivia (Janssen), is the beautiful and controlling grand dame of Hemlock Grove. Scott will play Norman Godfrey, the older brother of Olivia’s late husband, Jr, one of the founders of the Godfrey Center for Biomedical Technologies. Wealthy, but with modest tastes and an equally modest home, »

Mmmmm, Freddie Prinze Jr. I could think about tugging on Fred from Scooby Doo's ascot with my mouth for hours on end. In a nightmare situation, this act would pull off Fred's "mask," and he'd be revealed as an angry carnival owner. He wouldn't gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for my meddling hormones. Rawr.

"Smash" Recap 105: “What I Bring To The Table”
6 March 2012 11:14 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
A new day dawns and Eileen's down one personal assistant.
We open with her on the phone with Scott, her previously unnamed assistant, who belatedly advises her that he's working for her soon-to-be-ex Jerry now. Scott, you better hope it works out because you know Diana Ross would give you a better reference than Eileen will.
With that unpleasantness behind us we shift to the rehearsal studio. Derek calls Karen over to work on some dance steps and to tell her she's scared of “everything below the neck”. Eileen and Tom arrive together, Eileen hectoring Tom for some new script pages Julia is supposed to be working on. Julia strolls in, on the phone with husband Frank who's on a teaching retreat. She has lines like “this connection is so bad” so it's like, symbolism and stuff. Ivy arrives and spots Karen and Derek dancing so she freaks.

Smash Review: The Rivalry Heats Up and Julia Makes a Bad Choice

Smash Review: The Rivalry Heats Up and Julia Makes a Bad Choice
This week's Smash veered between what works and what doesn't always work on the show. Let's begin with what works: everything in the rehearsal space, including the rivalry between Karen and Ivy. Last week Derek may have dismissed Karen, but this week she seemed to be his new best friend. Ivy arrived at rehearsal to find Derek and Karen dancing one of the numbers together, which immediately gets her hackles up. But it got worse when Ivy was performing "Let's Be Bad" in the workshop, only to have Derek stop her and ask Karen to show her how it's done.
Ouch. As Karen sung "Happy Birthday" in a Marilyn voice, Karen is both horrified and embarrassed that she's been compared to one of the ensemble girls. This only got worse when Derek asked Karen to work with Ivy on this particular number. »

"Smash" Recap: "Joltin' Joe"
21 February 2012 9:15 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
We open this week with Ivy riding on top of Derek in bed. Sweetie, you already got the part, you can stop banging the director. When they're done she wonders if maybe they could get together sometime and actually work on the role. His response of “That's all we're doing, darling” somehow doesn't lead her to slap his face and roll off him. He calls it a joke and promises to set up a rehearsal time.
Eileen is selling off her jewels. She spots a pair of earrings that the jewelry store clerk says were inspired by a pair Marilyn wore in The Seven Year Itch. For fifty bucks Eileen has to have them.
Karen meets Derek for drinks. He explains that with the show being in such an unfinished state they had to go with Ivy because of her greater experience. Karen makes like she's happy to have landed »

‘Smash,’ Season 1, Episode 3, ‘Enter Mr. Dimaggio’: TV Recap
20 February 2012 8:11 PM, PST | Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal | See recent Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal news »
NBC
The most interesting thing in this episode happened between Julia and Eliss. (Although I also enjoyed the scene between Dev and Derek, our two Brits). We’ll get to that in a bit, first we’ll break things down by storyline. This episode wasn’t as jam-packed as the first two episodes, and there’s not as many flashy numbers. It’s a different tone than the first two as well, not in a bad way.

Pretty Little Liars Review: Muddy Waters
16 January 2012 8:53 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
After two solid episodes, Pretty Little Liars faltered a little with "Let the Water Hold Me Down." For two weeks we've seen plenty of action, drama and suspense, as well as fewer pointless plot diversions and red herrings. Despite promos that imply a lot of huge revelations here, instead we got an episode that uselessly paddles around in the muddy lake water.
It was filler through and through, which was a little disappointing. Hardly any new information was revealed, and most of the characters were acting pretty mopey. I was really hoping things would get clearer by now, but I guess it is a little too early in the season to give away all the secrets. Although, at least one would be nice!
The episode focused mainly on Hanna and the depths of her suffering at the hands of A (that's a tad melodramatic, I know, but so is Hanna). As I said last week, »

'Pretty Little Liars': Lucas does a little breaking and entering
16 January 2012 8:34 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
This week on "Pretty Little Liars," we get some answers on Lucas and it's really not what we thought it was going to be. But it sure was creepy getting there.
Ok, so it turns out Lucas has (had?) a gambling problem. He got into making bets on basketball and he lost all his money plus all Caleb's money and that's what he was going to tell Hanna in the rowboat. Raise your hands if you were really disappointed that that was the explanation? *raises hands* It just felt very anti-climactic, especially since we were convinced he was going to tell Hanna he loves her. It also seemed to come out of left field. What canon do we have so far to even hint at something like that? None that we can think of.
Meanwhile, Spencer tracks down a receipt from her lake house to a newsstand called Smitty's in »
