Dana Ivey, Not Maggie Smith
8 May 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
From originating the titular role in the stage version of "Driving Miss Daisy" to playing a key part in "The Addams Family" films, there's quite a lot of variety on Dana Ivey's resume.
The 71-year-old Georgia native has had more than 30 film roles and appeared in close to two dozen TV shows, which makes her a perfect subject for "Isn't That ... ?," a new HuffPost feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects, but don't know much else about.
The five-time Tony-nominated Ivey will appear in one of the final episodes of "The Big C" as a fellow cancer patient of Cathy's (Laura Linney). "I was thrilled to be asked to be on it," Ivey said in a phone interview with HuffPost. "It's such a good show. I've been watching it since the beginning and DVRing it and watching every episode. I just love it. I »

'Borgias' canceled? Season 4 may morph into two hour finale special
7 May 2013 6:50 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Showtime's soapy historical drama "The Borgias" could be headed for a premature end after three seasons.
Deadline is reporting that Showtime is currently leaning toward scrapping a planned Season 4 of the show in favor of a two hour wrap-up movie instead. While four full seasons would match the run of "Borgias" unofficial predecessor "The Tudors," Showtime recently transformed the fourth and final season of "The Big C" into a limited series of four one hour episodes.
Series creator Neil Jordan indicated "Borgias" could be headed for a similar fate earlier this year in an interview with U.K.'s Broadcast.
"['Borgias' has] gone on for three years and there's only four years in it," Jordan said. "At the moment, we're discussing it with Showtime. I would like to finish it with a two-hour movie. Another 10 episodes is kind of exhausting. I've mapped out a movie, which, if they agree, will shoot in June with the same cast, »

Happy Gabby Day
6 May 2013 1:03 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Ja from Mnpp here, wishing a very happy birthday to Gabourey Sidibe, who's turning 30 years old today. In the four years since she popped on the scene, seemingly out of nowhere, in Lee Daniels' film Precious, Sidibe's proven that she's nothing like the sullen abused girl that brought her stardom - every awards show and every red carpet that year didn't come alive until she showed up, a star right out of the box. I don't watch The Big C so I can't speak to what she's done there but I was elated when she got cast in the upcoming third season of American Horror Story - I can't wait to see what Ryan Murphy does with her. What do you hope the future holds for Gabby? »

10 Spoilers: 'Suits' Season 3 scoop, 'Supernatural' delves into Naomi, and 'Awkward' stages an election
6 May 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Since Mondays are just the worst, we here at Zap2it have decided to give your week a much-needed wake-up call with 10 TV teasers -- just to remind you that when the work day is over, your DVR waits to welcome you home.
This week, our Monday Kickstart includes scoop on a "Suits" flashback episode, "Supernatural's" creepy angel boss-lady, and an "Awkward" couple going head-to-head in a school election.
"Suits": It's flashback time! The sixth episode of Season 3 will send both Mike and Harvey back in time 10 years, and we'll see some of their most dearly departed. We'll meet Harvey's father, who has played a pivotal role in his life, when he and Harvey talk about the law -- and Harvey's mother, in a candid moment -- while hanging out at the batting cages. Around that time, Mike was still eating peanut butter and jelly at his Grammy's »

Gabourey Sidibe: I'm Having A Crazy Little Career
6 May 2013 8:37 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
"I could have easily never worked again after Precious," Gabourey Sidibe tells me over breakfast in Los Angeles. "I could be back at my receptionist job and no one would be surprised, but I'm having a very crazy little career that no one thought would happen. Although that was never the plan. "
It's not clear whose plan Sidibe is referring to (hers, God's, Hollywood's), but it's plain to see nothing in the NY native's career has happened by accident. Although, as she's the first to admit, no one on her team is working off a calculated, step-by-step, career plan. Thankfully the fates led her from Precious to The Big C, which ends its phenomenal four-year run with hereafter, a 4-part limited run series, featuring Sidibe as Andrea, the wayward high schooler Laura Linney's character took under her wing back in season one.

‘The Big C’ Faces Its Own Mortality
5 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
If there’s a business angle to the reinvention of the half-hour episodic comedy “The Big C” as a fourhour dramatic miniseries for its farewell season, it’s this: It’s good business to keep viewers happy.
Ratings for the show were nothing special in 2012, even by pay cable standards: roughly half a million overall for the third-season finale in June. But rather than end things unceremoniously and leave loyalists unfulfilled, Showtime and the producers of the Laura Linney starrer switched gears to bring “Big C” to an organic denouement.
Season three could have been the series’ finale, Showtime entertainment prexy David Nevins told Variety, “but we wanted to find a way to give closure to the people who had been watching. I think it’s important as a premium service that we treat the individual audience (for each show) with respect and care.”
In the case of “Big C, »

Gabourey Sidibe stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday, where -- on the heels of NBA player Jason Collins' coming out announcement (the athlete was previously in an 8-year relationship with former fiancee Carolyn Moos) - she revealed she too has dated a gay man.
In fact, the hilarious actress, who stars in Showtime's "The Big C: Hereafter," says she doesn't think it's uncommon to unwittingly date a gay guy.
"Who hasn't dated a gay dude?!?" the former "Precious" star told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover with a laugh, before recounting her own experience. "He didn't tell me ...

How 'The Big C' Shaped Its Final Act
30 April 2013 9:29 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
Cathy Jamison's battle with cancer has been, at turns, heart-breaking, hilarious and hard to watch. But perhaps the toughest moment came in last night's The Big C: hereafter season premiere when Cathy asked her family, and fans, to accept her decision to stop chemotherapy.
Buckets of tears would have rained regardless, but the scene in question packed an even more powerful emotional wallop given it was set at the storage locker Cathy purchased and filled with a lifetime of birthday presents for her son, Adam, in season one.
"That was a really emotional scene to film," actor Gabriel Basso, who plays Adam, told ETonline. "It was my first day back filming on season four, and it was the same storage locker from season one, so there was this cool sense of the beginning and the end at the same time."

'The Big C: Hereafter' premiere: 'Quality of Life' means no more chemotherapy
29 April 2013 9:02 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"The Big C" returned to Showtime Monday (April 29) with the first of four one-hour episodes that will wrap up the award-winning dramedy about Cathy Jamison and her battle with cancer.
The first episode of "Hereafter" is titled "Quality of Life" and for Cathy that means no more chemotherapy. It turns out her wonderful, carefree boat ride with Angel was actually a hallucination. Cathy was found during her diving excursion and rushed to the hospital.
The cancer is metastasizing in her brain and for that, Dr. Sherman has recommended chemotherapy. But as it turns out, the good doctor also has cancer (colon) and it is his outlook on wanting to keep working that causes Cathy to quit her job, start doing the things she wants to do and to live out the rest of her life feeling as good as she can, rather than as a woman sickened from the chemotherapy. »
