SUMMARY:Kristin Chenoweth - Multi-Talented Performer With  A Compassionate Heart
DESCRIPTION:Kristin Chenoweth is one of the most talented performers in America. She is also one of the nicest people ever to become a major star in show business. Her life story is as unexpected as her talent is overwhelming. \nLeo Durocher famously said “Nice guys finish last. He obviously never heard of Kristin Chenoweth. CLICK HERE to read about Kristin’s charity. \n \nKristin Chenoweth is a Tony award-winning Broadway star whose name on a marquee sells a lot of tickets. On television\, \n \nshe has won raves and an Emmy award with roles as diverse as a lovesick waitress and a presidential press advisor. Her recordings have been enormously popular and her concerts have sold out in both the USA and Europe. Kristin Chenoweth singing voice has been referred to by some as “the voice of the century.” She can bring down the house with a Broadway show tune\, but also sing pop\, Opera\, country\, and pretty much any style of music you can name. While the movies have not been as successful a medium for her\, she has appeared in a number of good films and her comic timing\, wacky voice and stunning good looks would seem to suggest that movie success is just a matter of time. \nOn a personal level\, Kristin Chenoweth is a very compassionate Christian who is proud and open when it comes to discussing her faith. She’s been a lightning rod for some conservative Christians because she openly favors gay marriage and argues against hatred\, intolerance\, or bigotry of any kind. She also has a reputation for being one of the kindest and most considerate people in the entertainment business. On several occasions\, although we’ve never met\, she has gone out of her way to do favors for me that I have reinforced her reputation for being one of the most genuine stars working today. \nIn this multimedia presentation you will be dazzled by her talent\, fascinated by her life story\, and inspired  by her personality. She is a woman to admire! \n  \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \n  \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O. Box #177 \nDeerfield\, IL 60015 \nSubject Line: Kristin \nPaypal: \nPayPal (Please note\, PayPal takesß 10% of your donation as fee.

SUMMARY:America's Closest Elections: 1876 and 2000
DESCRIPTION: America is the most technologically advanced country in the world. We are the only nation to land a man on the moon. Our research universities are the envy of the world. And in the year 2000 we were confronted by a distressing reality: the world’s oldest democracy was unable count the votes from a Presidential election. Long lines\, malfunctioning machines\, third party candidates\, badly designed ballots and a partisan judicial system threw the results of the battle between George W. Bush and Al Gore into massive confusion. \nOddly\, the election of 2000 was not the first time a Presidential election went in to overtime! At our nation’s centennial in 1876\, the cliffhanger election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel B. Tilden was even closer!  And\, as improbable as it may seem\, the final state to have its voting problems resolved (albeit in a controversial manner) was Florida! \nThis unique\, fascinating multimedia presentation looks at how America has twice coped with a bitter Presidential election too close to call. We will examine what happens when both the political and  judicial systems were unable to resolve the result in a way that inspired confidence in the American public. \nWe will also look at the long range results of the elections. The 1876 election ended the Reconstruction of the South and plunged America deep into a period of racial segregation. And the victory of George W. Bush in the election of 2000 ushered in the war on terrorism in ways that were very different from how Al Gore would have responded. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:Sam Giancana - Master Of The Mob\, Murderer Of JFK?
DESCRIPTION:Forget Al Capone. \nCapone ran the Chicago Outfit brutally and very publicly for just a couple of years before being sent to prison on income tax charges. Tony Accordo and Paul Rccca ran the Outfit until 1957 when they turned over day to day control to Sam “Momo” Giancana. \nMuch More Powerful Than Capone!\nSam Giancana would rise to a position much\, much more powerful than the thuggish Al Capone ever dreamt of achieving! \nGiancana feuded with Robert Kennedy as he became the CIA liaison with the Mob. Unlike Capone\,Sam Giancana vastly expanded the operations of the Chicago Outfit into Las Vegas\, into California and became the most powerful Mafia leader in the country. He was connected to JFK through Peter Lawford and Frank Sinatra. According to a number of histories\, he and John F. Kennedy actually shared a mistress in common! Some believe Sam Giancana was behind the murder of JFK. And just before he was set to testify under oath before the Senate\, Sam Giancana was murdered in his home. A home that was under FBI surveillance and “guarded by the police! \nCuba\nWhen the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) planned to assassinate Fidel Castro\, the Agency called on mobster Sam Giancana to oversee the unlawful murder of the Cuban dictator. While the complicated and illegal plot ultimately failed\, the implications were clear.  The CIA was working closely with Sam Giancana – the most important and influential Mafia leader in the USA. J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI only learned of the plot because they were tapping Giancana’s phone and watching him 24/7! \n  \nWomen\nAfter he was widowed\, Sam Giancana carried on a very public romance with super popular\, squeaky clean\, all-American girl Phyllis McGuire. As one of the wholesome McGuire Sisters\, Phyllis projected a sprightly\, virginal image. In reality\, her torrid affair with the leader of the Chicago Syndicate was being listened to and tape recorded in real time by the FBI!  Before his intense relationship with McGuire\, he consorted with Marilyn Monroe (some say he caused her death) and other famous women.  One of the most fascinating stories involves his relationship with Judith Campbell – who also a mistress of John F. Kennedy!  She claimed that she arranged meetings and carried messages between the two! The stories are perplexing and fascinating. You will not want to miss this one of a kind multimedia presentation. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \n  \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:Understanding The Election Of 2008
DESCRIPTION:Understanding The Election Of 2008\nIf the election of 2008 had been written as a movie script\, it could not have been more exciting. We faced the possibility that we would elect the first woman to the presidency\, the first African-American to the presidency or perhaps one of America’s greatest war heroes to the presidency. The nomination battles were thrilling\, the personalities were oversized\, and just when it couldn’t seem to get any more fascinating\, Sen. McCain chose  Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate! \nIn this insightful\, nonpartisan multimedia presentation\, you will learn about the backgrounds of each of the campaigns and candidates in the election of 2008. You’ll learn the very different election strategies that each pursued. We will look at the role of technology\, social media\, race\, television\, and the debates as factors in deciding an election like no other. The election of 2008 provides us a fascinating glimpse into the future of campaigning.   \nWe’ll see how social media and voter tracking began to replace television advertising as a means of motivating voters.  This effort led to long lines of voters across the country. We’ll also examine how one party began to utilize restrictive voting laws as a desperate means to try and ensure victory through voter suppression.  \nThe career politician and war hero hero against a candidate with a painfully thin resume; a vice-presidential candidate with a penchant for gaffes versus one seemingly in way over her head.  This presentation on the election of 2008 is not to be missed. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:The Democratic Convention Of 1968
DESCRIPTION:1968 Democratic Convention\n \n“The Whole World Is Watching!  The Whole World Is Watching!  \nSo went the chant from thousands of protesters caught in a pitched battle with the police on the streets of Chicago is the Democratic Party sought to nominate a candidate for president. The Democratic convention riots of 1967 were turning point in history of politics and in the history of Chicago. Never before had live television cameras cameras captured what was later termed a “police riot” live on television.  While the battle of Chicago raged wildly on Michigan Avenue\, the tension erupted in violence and anger in the convention hall itself. \nAs the nation watched  in disbelief\, convention delegates and network reporters were beaten\, delegate credentials were forged in an effort to pack the galleries with Chicago city employees\, and the mayor of the city\, Richard J Daley\, screamed an obscenity at a Jewish United States senator on live television. \nIn this exciting multimedia presentation\, we will explore the roots of the events that culminated in the riots of 1968. From growing public frustration to the stalemate in Vietnam in the wake of the Tet Offensive to the insurgent campaign of Sen. Eugene McCarthy\, politics in America were thrown into turmoil. And just as the country seemed more and more to be spinning out of control\, we were hit with the shock of the public assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Sen. Robert F.  Kennedy. All of these events and many more make for an exceptionally exciting\, thought-provoking\, and mesmerizing presentation. \nPLEASE NOTE: There is a small fee to attend this presentation if you are not a member of the Lake Forest Senior Center. Please contact the venue for more information!

SUMMARY:Diana: Life Of The The People's Princess
DESCRIPTION:Diana: Glamorous And Tragic Life Of a Princess\nLady Diana Spencer was the “People’s Princess” beloved throughout the world for her compassion as much as for her glamour. \nSweet\, pretty Lady Diana Spencer was a shy and charming kindergarten teacher when she caught the eye of Prince Charles\, heir to the throne of Great Britain. At first\, to the public\, her story seemed like a fairytale. A pretty young girl had been plucked out of obscurity to marry the dashing Prince. But the truth of Diana’s private life was very\, very different from the public perception.   \nIn 1981\, an estimated 750 million people around the world watched the beautiful 20-year-old Diana Spencer marry her handsome Prince Charles amidst all the pomp and circumstance of the British Empire. But barely more than 10 years later she was bitterly divorced with two children\, suffering from severe depression and eating disorders\, brought out on by the realization that her cool and diffident husband had been having an affair with a long-time girlfriend\, Camilla Parker-Bowles. \nAfter Princess Diana’s ugly public divorce\, she became an outcast from the British Royal family. Despite that\, she became even more beloved by the British public! She was seen as an affectionate and doting mother\, an icon of fashion style\, and most importantly as a tireless champion for humanitarian causes. Diana met with Mother Teresa in an effort to bring attention to the global aid epidemic. She risked her life to try and read war zones of the scourge of land mines.  \nWherever she went\, whatever she did and whomever she dated\, Diana’s every move was followed by the insatiable British press. They detailed Diana’s every date\, every vacation\, and every outfit. \nWhen Princess Diana died in a horrible car crash she was mourned by the world. The outpouring of grief in Britain forever changed the nation’s view of the monarchy. Diana’s unexpected life\, veering between glamour and tragedy and her sudden and controversial death makes for an unforgettable story. \nTWO PARTS! Part one will run from 16:30 -8;00. Part Two will cover her tragic death and the response in Britain It will run next week at the same time. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget!  \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:Meryl Streep
DESCRIPTION:Meryl Streep is widely regarded as one of the greatest movie actresses of all time. This fascinating multimedia presentation will illuminate her unique life and unparalleled career! \nWe have a tendency to think of the “classic era” or “golden age” of movies and movie stars to be in the past. But many critics believe that Meryl Streep’s career has equalled\, if not surpassed\, that of any of the greatest movie actresses! Happily\, at 70\, Meryl Streep is showing no signs of slowing down\, with a number of important movies coming out in the next few years. \nUsing numerous film clips (of course!) fascinating anecdotes and intriguing insights\, we will explore her personal history and highlight some of her greatest roles. You won’t want to miss this great new presentation. \n

SUMMARY:Movies About Lincoln - Abraham Lincoln On Film
DESCRIPTION:No President of the United States has been portrayed in the movies more often than Abraham Lincoln! \nFrom the earliest days of silent movies\, Lincoln has been featured in more movies than all other Presidents combined. The most brilliant of these iconic performances can be seen in John Ford’s groundbreaking “Young Mr. Lincoln” starring Henry Fonda. Raymond Massey played Lincoln so often on stage\, movies\, and TV that George S. Kaufman famously observed: “[Raymond] Massey won’t be satisfied until he’s assassinated!” \nEven in contemporary films such as Spielberg’s “Lincoln\,” the myth of Honest Abe grows and evolves with each movie. In this insightful\, mesmerizing and nostalgic multimedia presentation\, you will see my work as a Lincoln scholar combined with my love of classic cinema! \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00.

SUMMARY:Diana: Death Of The The People's Princess
DESCRIPTION:Diana: Tragic Death Of a Princess\nLady Diana Spencer was the “People’s Princess” beloved throughout the world for her compassion as much as for her glamour. \nSweet\, pretty Lady Diana Spencer was a shy and charming kindergarten teacher when she caught the eye of Prince Charles\, heir to the throne of Great Britain. At first\, to the public\, her story seemed like a fairytale. A pretty young girl had been plucked out of obscurity to marry the dashing Prince. But the truth of Diana’s private life was very\, very different from the public perception.   \nIn 1981\, an estimated 750 million people around the world watched the beautiful 20-year-old Diana Spencer marry her handsome Prince Charles amidst all the pomp and circumstance of the British Empire. But barely more than 10 years later she was bitterly divorced with two children\, suffering from severe depression and eating disorders\, brought out on by the realization that her cool and diffident husband had been having an affair with a long time girlfriend\, Camilla Parker-Bowles. \nAfter Princess Diana’s ugly public divorce\, she became an outcast from the British Royal family. Despite that\, she became even more beloved by the British public! She was seen as an affectionate and doting mother\, an icon of fashion style\, and most importantly as a tireless champion for humanitarian causes. Diana met with Mother Teresa in an effort to bring attention to the global aid epidemic. She risked her life to try and read war zones of the scourge of land mines.  \nWherever she went\, whatever she did and whomever she dated\, Diana’s every move was followed by the insatiable British press. They detailed Diana’s every date\, every vacation\, and every outfit. \nWhen Princess Diana died in a horrible car crash she was mourned by the world. The outpouring of grief in Britain forever changed the nation’s view of the monarchy. Diana’s unexpected life\, veering between glamour and tragedy and her sudden and controversial death makes for an unforgettable story. \nTWO PARTS! This is part two\, in which we cover the tragic death of Diana and the reaction from the Monarchy. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget!  \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:The Ten Greatest American Presidents
DESCRIPTION:The Ten Best American Presidents\n \nHow do we determine who were the greatest Presidents? \nOne recent poll of the American public disclosed that they believed Bill Clinton is the greatest President of all time! \nAnother recent poll\, this one only of Republicans showed that 5% of them considered George W. Bush was the greatest President of all time! \nLet’s not ask the public! \nWhen professional historians are asked to compile their lists of the greatest Presidents\, they usually choose Washington\, Lincoln\, and FDR as the best. (apologies to both Presidents Bush and Clinton!) \nBut after those three\, the lists become intriguing.  Does Truman belong in the pantheon?  How about Jefferson\, Jackson\, Theodore Roosevelt\, Reagan or Polk? Can a case be made on behalf of Madison\, Cleveland\, JFK or Wilson?  The debate is fun and the comparisons exciting!  I will prevent my intentionally provocative choices in this fast moving multimedia presentation. \n

SUMMARY:Best Movies About Politics
DESCRIPTION:Politics and the movies are a match made in heaven! Movies need compelling characters\, suspenseful plots\, unexpected twists\, and a  great conclusion. Politics provides all the above and then some! In this great new presentation\, Best Movies About Politics\, I’ll present my admittedly idiosyncratic list of the best films ever made about American politics. Some are dramas and some are comedies. Some are old classics and some are very modern. Some are well know\, critically acclaimed Hollywood films\, others are amazing but obscure! \nBest Movies About Politics\nThis fun\, fascinating and fast- moving presentation is one of my favorites\, combing my  love of great cinema with a lifelong fascination with elections. And where else will you find a list that plausibly contains Henry Fonda\, Eddie Murphy\, Kirck Douglas\, George Clooney and Jimmy Stewart? From directors Frank Capra and Preston Sturges to Rob Reiner;  screenwriters Aaron Sorkin to Rod Serling\, some of the greatest talent in movie history have tackled the subject of elections in films that are entertaining\, thought-provoking and often unforgettable. We will look at clips from some of them and consider others as well! \nOf course\, we will leave time for discussion and for your choices Let’s see what everyone else chooses as the best movies about politics! \nThis is an online zoom presentation and completely free\, thanks to our friends at McHenry College.
