Geraldine Chaplin has a nifty little cameo in "The Orphanage," if you haven't seen it yet.  She also speaks spectacular Spanish.

I'm looking forward to seeing "The Orphanage".  I thought "Pan's Labrynth" was excellent but on the other hand, "The Others" was very ordinary.

Well I have news from my recent past - which may explain why I am not asleep.  My half sister Fay died (funeral today) and her brother (my Half brother) has been diagnosed with dementia.  I did not know my Half sister Well but am close to my Half Brother and his family. My Half Brother Lloyd is 77.  These are the children of my 101 year old dad's first marriage.  

The phone calls from my "Family" were last night and I'm still attempting to "process" emotions etc.

Re Geraldine Chaplin:  I remember on most recent viewing of "Limelight" being so aware of the young Miss Chaplin in the opening scene.

I love "Limelight".  
Of course some may consider I love the limelight.

Thanks George. I'm just not sure how I feel about it all.  Too much news on the one day and my "family" do not live close by.

Thank you Amy. Somehow I don't think I'll be going back to bed as it is nearly 5.00 here. I'm just a little "lost" at the moment.  

I guess I won't be letting my Dad know about the events. He seems to have wiped his daughter from his memory bank any way. It's odd being the "link" between two families - or in some ways - three!

DR Tomovoz - {{{Hugs}}} to you.  I can certainly understand that it will take some time to absorb and process the emotions.  Wish there was something we could do to make it any easier.

Hedy Lamarr: Not just a pretty face
How one of the best known actresses of mid-20th century revolutionized weapons systems and helped create cell phones
By Melinda Wenner
…
Fittingly, Frequency Hopping is itself a highly technological production. In addition to the 25-piece robotic orchestra developed by the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots, the play uses a number of special effects. Singer wanted to portray "surrealist-inspired dreams and fantasies," such as objects popping out of bodies, so she incorporated two screens onto the set—one in front of the actors and one behind them. The front screen is transparent, so the actors can perform behind it; Singer explains that it utilizes a special invisible polymer that reflects projected or solid images so that they appear in three dimensions, like holograms.
...


FREQUENCY HOPPING: Hedy Lamarr (played in the new play Frequency Hopping by Erica Newhouse) helped develop a technology in the 1940s that would prove instrumental in wireless technologies like cell phones.

My kind of play.

Wonder what the unions think of a "robotic orchestra"?

LADY DETECTIVES: CAN THEY HANDCUFF THE EMMYS?

From "The Closer" to "Law & Order," women inspectors get a great fictional ride.
By Irene Lacher, Special to The Times
June 4, 2008

WOMEN detectives are probably getting a better ride in the realm of fiction than they are in police departments. They've been rocking popular culture since Clarice Dyke debuted in an eponymous novel in 1883 and, at this point, most crime procedural dramas on television know better than to cruise for ratings without women on the force.

All the major networks plus TNT have prime-time crime shows with women either carrying the hour or sharing the spotlight with a male partner. All of NBC's hardy "Law & Order" spinoffs feature coed crime teams, and the original version even has a woman, Lt. Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson), telling the guys what to do.

The female crime fighter has evolved into such an honored staple of television that several at a time can often be found in Emmy's list of five dramatic actress nominees in any given year. Indeed, Kyra Sedgwick, whose career has surged with her role as LAPD Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson on TNT's "The Closer," says her character resonates with audiences because "she's what every woman would like to be -- someone who doesn't apologize for her power."

Of course, women who make a living carrying a gun or hanging around others who do are sometimes a wee bit complicated, and that goes double for their small-screen counterparts. But, for better or worse, even fictional girls will be girls, with all the peculiarly female neuroses that come along with that. Who knew eating disorders could be so entertaining?
