I'm going to an interesting event tonight at the TV Academy. WOMEN IN PRIME. Dealing with women in front of and behind the camera in Prime Time. For those interested in taking a look, there will be a LIVE WEBCAST at
www.emmys.tv which is scheduled to begin at around 8 PM PST.
Good line-up of panelists scheduled:
Diane Burroughs (Creator, Executive Producer, Still Standing)
Laura Innes (ER)
Melina Kanakaredes (CSI NY)
Janet Leahy (Executive Producer, Boston Legal)
Janel Moloney (West Wing)
Kathryn Morris (Cold Case)
CCH Pounder (The Shield)
Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
Greer Shephard (Executive Producer, The Closer)
Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men)
Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love)
And special guest Ms. Angela Lansbury
Should be fun. I'm hoping to say hi to Kyra Sedgwick at the reception afterwards. Haven't seen her since the 1993 Golden Globe Awards when she was nominated for Miss Rose White. During Rose White, BTW, she was invisibly pregnant with her (and Kevin Bacon's) daughter, Sosie, who now must be 14. How time flies!
Their son Travis was 3 at the time. He was very musical and, as I remember, Kevin B. had made him a little guitar which they played on the set while waiting for mom. Very sweet. After I came back from location (Richmond, Virginia as 1940's NY!) I sent them DD's miniature violin which she had outgrown.
