SUMMARY:History Vs. the Movies: Mississippi Burning
DESCRIPTION: History Vs. the Movies: Mississippi Burning\nMississippi Burning: The Civil Rights Era is one of the most exciting\, important\, and electrifying eras in American history. \nIt had everything from a cinematic standpoint: dynamic lead characters\, powerful and determined villains\, mystery\, mood\, motivation\, and manipulation. Nonetheless\, movies about the era have generally not been hits\, and despite the hype about Selma\, no great masterpiece of filmmaking has yet emerged. “Mississippi Burning”  is a brilliant film but utter nonsense from a historical point of view. “Selma” is a maddening jumble. In its sections on Martin Luther King\, it is extraordinary. In its sections on Lyndon Johnson\, it is entirely misleading. “Ghosts of Mississippi” is an earnest and well-made film about the trial of the murderer of Medgar Evers. However\, unless you already knew quite a bit about Medgar Evers\, you would leave the film wondering who exactly he was. \nSome of the best films about the Civil Rights Movement have been made-for-TV films. Clark Johnson directed “Boycott”  for HBO\, and it combines arresting visuals with superb acting. The Rosa Parks made-for-TV movie was likewise excellent. Spike Lee directed an outstanding documentary\, “Four Little Girls.”  But so far\, a genuine cinematic masterpiece about the Civil Rights Era has eluded filmmakers. \nThis fast-moving and thought-provoking multimedia presentation will look at clips from some films about the Civil Rights Movement.   Our particular focus will be on “Mississippi Burning.” Using inside stories\, personal anecdotes\, and a clear timeline\, we will see how this brilliantly made film distorted history and changed America’s perceptions about the Movement. \nCheck this out: in “Mississippi Burning\,”  the FBI gets an invaluable ship to find where the bodies are buried. The screenwriter and director had to fictionalize where the tip came from. That is because the mystery informant had never been revealed. Working with the brilliant investigative reporter Jerry Mitchell\, I was able to help figure out where the tip had come from – Jerry uncovered the identity of the mysterious “Mr. X.” Click here to find out who he was! \n.

SUMMARY:Phil Spector And The Murder Of Lana Clarkson
DESCRIPTION:Phil Spector And The Murder Of Lana Clarkson\nIt sounds like an Agatha Christie story – a brilliant but troubled music producer takes a stunning actress who was down on her luck back to his Tyrolian mansion for a drink. Two people are in the room. There is one gun. She ends up dead. Was it a murder? An accident? A suicide? A brilliant prosecutor and his superb assistant had to fight off the O. J. Simpson dream team to convince a jury that Phil Spector was guilty. \nThe problem: not only did the defendant have nearly unlimited resources and the ability to purchase the best attorneys and experts in the world\, but he had history on his side. No person who was a celebrity before their arrest had ever been convicted of murder in the USA! \nThe riveting murder trial of the bizarre Phil Spector played out very differently than the trial of O. J. Simpson. Although Spector hired members of O. J.’s ‘dream team\,’ In this case\, a competent judge and a superb prosecutor made the evidence the center of the case. You will be fascinated by each team of lawyers’ intricate and detailed strategies and the colorful cast of characters called as witnesses. \nFinally\, we will also look at how a crazed HBO movie written and directed by David Mamet tried to make the argument that Spector was actually innocent! (Mamet admitted that the facts of the case did not matter to him.)Sex\, glamour\, forensics\, high-priced lawyers – this trial has everything! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Betty White: America's Favorite Potty Mouthed Grandma
DESCRIPTION:The fabulous Betty White has been called an American national treasure – and rightly so! Up until her death at 99\, Betty White was a beacon of positivity even in difficult years! Witty\, working\, and happy\, Betty white it’s a beacon of positivity even in difficult times! \nBetty White was voted one of America’s most beloved entertainers year in and year out.  In 2018\, she was chosen as the most trusted person in America! You know her as the seemingly sweet we but secretly scheming sexpot Sue Anne Nivens on the iconic  “Mary Tyler Moore Show\,” the endearing\, naïve\, and trusting Rose Nyland on the classic  “Golden Girls\,” and the outrageous and somewhat loopy Elka Ostrovsky on ” Hot in Cleveland.” \n Betty White has been a staple on talk shows\, a host and panelist on game shows\, and has even performed in some popular movies\, including one classic film drama about politics in which she played a U.S. Senator! \nYou may not know that Betty White was a pioneer in the early days of television\, being the first woman to produce her own show!  The amazing Ms. White is a best-selling author and tireless advocate for animals. Most importantly\, she is widely considered one of the nicest people in all show business. This warm\, charming and funny presentation is loaded with hilarious video clips and great stories about the one and only Betty White. \n

She was heartbreaking in dramas like “Stella Dallas” and “Titanic.” In great comedies like “Ball Of Fire” and “The Mad Miss Manton\,” Barbara Stanwyck’s perfect comic timing stole the show\, She played a romantic lead in “Christmas in Connecticut)\, a gorgeous\, clever con artist in “The Lady Eve\,” a non-nonsense Western heroine in “Forty Guns\,” and a preacher who was alternatively pious or manipulative in Frank Capra’s “Miracle Woman. \nShe may best be remembered for playing strong but fallen women in films such as Billy Wilder’s classic mystery “Double Indemnity\,” But no matter what the role demanded\, she could handle it. After her movie career faded\, she became a television star\, working into her eighties on shows like “The Big Valley\,” “The Thorn Birds\,” and “The Colbys.” \nMs. Stanwyck’s career encompasses the classic era of Hollywood. This multimedia presentation is filled with fabulous film clips and intriguing anecdotes that will bring her unique life story and unparalleled career to life. If you love movies\, don’t miss this presentation about the greatest movie actress who never won an Oscar!

SUMMARY:Cole Porter - Risque Master Of American Music
DESCRIPTION:Cole Porter is one of the greatest songwriters in American history. His melodies were sublime. His lyrics were creative\, witty\, sophisticated\, original\, and naughty. Cole Porter was the ultimate European-oriented sophisticate – yet he was born in tiny Peru\, Indiana! \nPorter’s list of songs includes some of the most incredible entries in the great American Songbook!  Consider: \nLET’S DO IT (LET’S FALL IN LOVE) (1928) \n NIGHT AND DAY (1932) \nANYTHING GOES (1934) \n DON’T FENCE ME IN (1934) \nI GET A KICK OUT OF YOU (1934) \nBEGIN THE BEGUINE (1935) \n I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (1936) \nIT’S DE-LOVELY (1936) \nPorter’s legacy was further assured by brilliant Broadway shows like “Kiss Me Kate” and “Can-Can.” But beneath the surface of this bon-vivant lay a tortured soul. Cole Porter lived in both psychic and physical pain for much of his life. His life story\, personality\, and music combine for a memorable multimedia presentation! \n

SUMMARY:Bill Murray
DESCRIPTION:Bill Murray has had one of the most unique and unpredictable careers of anyone in show business! \nStarting off as a snarky deadpan comic\, one of the first breakout stars on Saturday Night Live\, he made a series of wildly successful and hugely popular comedies\, including “Stripes\,” “Caddyshack\,” Ghostbusters\,” and “Tootsie.” \nIf we stopped the clock on Murray’s career there\, he’d be remembered as a great comic movie star with broad appeal. The film career of his SNL castmate Chevy Chase might be a good eqiovalent. \nBut unlike Chase\, whose film career stalled out\, Bill Murray made a breathtaking pivot into more serious\, adult\, and important movie roles. \nIn films like “Grounhog Day\,” “The Razor’s Edge\,” “Moonrise Kingdom\,” “Monuments Men\,” and his Oscar nominated performance in “Lost In Translation\, Bill Murray has established himself as a versatil and talented dramatic actor. \nThis intriguing multimedia presentation will delve into Murray’s quirky and iconoclastic personality. He’s a Chicago Cubs superfan and the co-owner of several minor league baseball teams. However\, Bill Murray has been accused of inappropriate behavior\, engaged in many feuds\, and Dan Ayckroyd dubbed him “Murraycane” for his wild mood swigs. \nThis presentation will be in hybrid format – you can attend in person or watch on Zoom. Contact the host for registration information. \n

SUMMARY:Bill Murray
DESCRIPTION:Bill Murray has had one of the most unique careers in entertainment history. Starting with Second City & National Lampoon\, Bill Murray became a tremendous sensation when he joined the early cast of Saturday Night Live. His deadpan\, snarky\, insincere comedy persona made him a standout\, even in the days of Jim Belushi\, Chevy Chase\, and Dan Aykroyd. \nAfter staying with SNL for only three seasons\, he made an immediate smash on the big screen. Bill Murray appeared in one of the highest-grossing comedy movies of all time\, Ghostbusters\, and such comic classics as Stripes and Caddyshack. \nBut over time\, this comic icon shifted his interest shift as he began to do more dramatic films and perform more supporting parts that allowed him to create unforgettable secondary characters. Performing for great directors such as George Clooney\, Sophia Coppola\, and Wes Anderson\, Murray carved out her unique niche in which he is often considered one of the country’s most versatile supporting actors. \nWe will examine his remarkable career\, but we will also talk about Bill Murray’s strange\, idiosyncratic personality and the frequently reported instances of inappropriate behavior\, which have clouded his reputation and stalled his career as he reached his 70s. \nThis multimedia presentation has a little bit of everything. Lots of laughs\, glimpses of outstanding dramatic acting\, and many head-scratching or offputting moments where we wonder why the world’s most famous Chicago Cubs super fan has chosen to engage in feuds with his costars. \n
