Ah, another patronizing pair of rich, liberal celebrities who think all of America is taken in with starry eyes whenever they endorse something, including government-run, freedom-robbing, socialized health care. Endorsing something is easy when they themselves, because of their vast fortunes and fame, will never have to take part in it, just like our Congress [...]

Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing who played President Jed Bartlet and First Lady Abbey Bartlet on The West Wing urge support for passage of the health care reform bill tomorrow (video above). Somehow I don’t think there’s much of a chance that Crazy Pete will change his vote if I call his office.

Today's Google Doodle celebrates the almost-fortieth anniversary of the first Sesame Street broadcast, on November 10, 1969. Unless you were THERE, it's hard to realize what an impact not only Jim Henson but also Joe Raposo and the other contributors had on the past forty years of kids' thinking (and on some of the "earworms" that surface out of Mama Squirrel's subconscious). I was THERE....

I first became a fan of Nanette Fabray as the mother of Mary Richards and Ann Romano. She played Dottie Richards in two 1972 episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Katherine Romano on One Day at a Time from 1979 to 1984. I didn't discover until much later that she was a Tony Award-winning Broadway actress. You cannot help but like Nanette Fabray, whose sparkling presence has always been irresistible....

It's a jungle out there, which requires skilled juggling and a bag of tricks, too. When Grease! (the movie) came out, my friends and I went Grease-crazy. Everyone bought the album, and we poured over the foldout album cover's yearbook style collection of photos. We tried to decide which T-Birds were cute versus too greaser, and which photo of Danny and Sandy was best. Meanwhile, the vinyl record played...

photo by Mark Lennihan/Associated Press It seems like every other day we're reading about yet another theatrical project that makes us wonder if the success of Glee has caused some kind of collective brain short-circuiting. [Ed. note: I can't wait for Glee to die. How has no one else noticed it's just a cross between American Pie and the 4th season of Ally McBeal?!] Read for yourself. Local: Last...

This paltry thing – our lives – he wanted it," the middle-aged heroine (Stockard Channing) observes of the young confidence-trickster (Will Smith) who inveigles his way into her home in the film Six Degrees of Separation (1993). She's a sophisticated New Yorker with a big Manhattan apartment. He is a street hustler who pretends he is movie star Sidney Poitier's son so that he can...
