SUMMARY:Natalie Wood
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Wood was one of the most popular and glamorous actresses of the 1950s and 60s. She starred in numerous classic films including\, “Miracle on 34th St.” “Rebel Without a Cause\,” “West Side Story\,” “Gypsy\,” “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice\,” “Splendor in the Grass\,” “Sex and the Single Girl\,” & “The Great Race.” Her stunning looks\, popular performances\, and her marriages and romances made her a staple on magazine covers for 20 years. \nShe’s one of the few performers to have a significant career as a child\, teenager\, and adult. Although critics were often less than impressed by her acting ability\, she set a record by becoming only the second actress to receive three Academy Awards before she turned 25 years old! (Jennifer Lawrence and Sairose Ronan have since bested that record.) \nWhen Natalie Wood was only 43\, a mother of two\, with a great career in films and television potentially still ahead\, she died under mysterious – possibly criminal – circumstances in the Pacific Ocean. \nThis fascinating multimedia public speaking presentation will explore her troubled life\, fabulous career\, and the mysterious death of Natalie Wood.

SUMMARY:Jimmy Stewart Film Icon And American Hero
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Stewart was one of the greatest and most popular American actors of all time.  From 1935 – 1991  he appeared in over 90 beings and television shows. His name alone drew people into theaters. Stewart’s amazing range has never fully been equaled. He was a star of both Westerns and screwball comedies\, Hitchcock dramas\, and classic romance films. No matter what the role\, Jimmy Stewart’s talent\, commitment\, and decency showed through. This fast-moving\, incisive multimedia biography will certainly highlight some of his greatest films.  We will only be able to talk about a sampling of his career because the sheer number of great movies made by Jimmy Stewart is amazing. Consider just these 10: \nIt’s a Wonderful Life \nMr. Smith Goes to Washington \nThe Man Who Shot Liberty Valance \nThe Philadelphia Story \nYou Can’t Take It with You \nThe Man Who Knew Too Much \nAnatomy of a Murder \nRear Window \nVertigo \nHarvey \nOur presentation will not just cover Jimmy Stewart’s phenomenal film career. \nWe will also look at Jimmy Stewart’s heroic service in the Army Air Corps as a pilot during World War II.  At first\, Stewart was concerned that his celebrity status would relegate him to promotional appearances and goodwill tours. As an experienced pilot\, he wanted to serve his country in active combat. Although he entered the service as an enlistee\, he was eventually promoted to brigadier general! James Stewart served bravely often flying combat missions in the most dangerous situations.  He won many awards from the military and later became a lifelong spokesman for the Air Force. We will look at his heroic service and also at the enormous physical and emotional toll it took on him. \nThe small-town boy turned movie star and war hero. Frank Capra could not have scripted it better!  You are you to enjoy this presentation! \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free; I am struggling 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:Sidney Poitier
DESCRIPTION:Sidney Poitier is\, without question\, one of the greatest actors in the history of American film. \nAdditionally\, Sidney Poitier is the man who broke the color barrier in Hollywood. Like Barack Obama or Jackie Robinson\, he was more than just a symbol. He was a man of great talent\, skill and accomplishment. His success was not only his\, but a reminder of how America had squelched the talents of so many talented citizens.  \nMany fans of the “Golden Era” of “classic films” – including myself – have had to come to grips with the racist\, segregationist nature of those movies. Judy Garland\, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant were great actors and their films remain wildly enjoyable. But look at the films as a whole and you will see the leading roles are all played by white actors. Black actors appear as slaves\, domestics\, field hands\, or drivers. As great as Garland\, Astaire and Grant were\, it’s important to remember they were given opportunities denied to Lena Horne\, the Nicholas Brothers or any black man before Sidney Poitier. The racism of classic Hollywood denied us from appreciating some great talent. Just as the quality of baseball became better when it integrated\, so did movies improve after Sidney Poitier helped open the door. A society is stronger when all its citizens can participate. \nHowever\, his career should not be seen only as historic and groundbreaking. He was a great actor! Sidney Poitier\, in his best roles\, was simply magnificent. \nWatch “The Defiant Ones\,” “Blackboard Jungle\,” “Lillies Of The Field\,” “In The Heat Of The Night\,” “To Sir\, With Love\,” and “A Patch Of Blue” and you see a great actor at the top of his game. You can even see him in a movie with Dan Aykroyd! Poitier could be as suave as Cary Grant\, as intense as Humphrey Bogart\, as relatable as Jimmy Stewart. And unlike those other great actors\, Sidney Poitier went on to have a fabulous director of money making movies! \nJoin us for a fascinating multimedia look at the life and career of the great Sidney Poitier! \n

SUMMARY:Henry Fonda
DESCRIPTION:Henry Fonda was one of the greatest movie actors of all time! \nIn a career that spanned over 50 years\, he appeared on Broadway 16 times and made over 100 movie and TV appearances. And so many of his films banned the test of time – all-time classics that are still enjoyed more than half a century after they were made!  \n After witnessing a lynching in his native Omaha\, Henry Fonda became an unshakable champion of the values of law\, respect\, dignity and compassion. His personal decency and sense of fair play is reflected in the roles he chose. So often\, a Henry Fonda movie involved him being the lone voice of reason and sanity against a mob or a policy or a jury that was anxious for blood and unwilling to think. His unforgettable portrayal of Abraham Lincoln (click here for more about this unique and powerful film)  cemented his reputation as an actor. In the decades that followed\,  roles in important films such as “The Grapes of Wrath\,” “12 Angry Men\,” “Drums along the Mohawk” & “The Longest Day” showed his remarkable range and versatility as an actor.  \nAlthough best remembered for dramas\, Henry Fonda had a surprising and wonderful flair for comedy. In “The Lady Eve” (click here to read more) he is hilarious in a role of subtle complexity.   \nAnd although Fonda  was almost invariably cast in a heroic role\, in “Once Upon a Time in the West” \ndirected by Sergio Leone\, he played a sadistic merciless villain. And he was great at it!   \nIn this insightful multimedia presentation\, we will explore Henry Fonda’s complicated personal life and his unparalleled professional career. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free; I am struggling but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.
