In addition to being the subject of LEAVE THEM LAUGHING (a documentary by Academy Award director John Zaritsky) the beautiful, brilliant, sassy and brassy ALS stricken artist Carla Zilbersmith has (from her wheelchair and with virtually no use of her limbs) mastermided an amazing 2010 Calendar (ALS: Always Looking Sexy) featuring a courageous ALS-stricked individual each month (from teen years to seniors) in a pose from the movies. All proceeds are tax-deductible and support ALS research. Carla was interviewed this week by ABC TV in the Bay Area about this project. Take a look -- .ideal for reminding you of Parlor Performance dates! Additional information at: https://alwayslookingsexy2010.alscommunity.org/GroupSite/tabid/54/albumid/278/view/ViewAlbum/Default.aspx Says Carla: It's a funny, sexy, full of life, full of love calendar which will remind you each time you go to write down an appointment how unbearably lucky we all are to live on this beautiful planet. We'll have another screening of LEAVE THEM LAUGHING (90 riveting minutes of songs and quips about life and death, from the wheelchair of a woman who vows to exit the stage with a smile on her beautiful face) in the early spring. CLEVER CONVERSATION... Veteran radio host, Ira Fistell, is planning to re-launch his popular Bring 'Em Back Alive show on the Jewish Life Television Channel (JLTV). He's seeking actors and writers who would be comfortable participating in a 30-minute on air interview in the character of well-known personalities in the arts, science, literature, politics, etc. He has taped two pilots (with Albert Einstein and Dorothy Parker). There will be compensation -- most likely AFTRA scale. The show is carried by Direct TV and Time Warner in many large cities, with a potential reach of 35-40 million viewers. Personalities already lined up are Ayn Rand, George Gershwin, Queen Elizabeth I, Clarence Darrow, Christopher Columbus, Margaret Sanger, Harry Houdini, and Abraham the Patriarch. The personalities must have a Jewish connection, either positive or negative. Please e-mail Jeannine with ideas, leads and questions! | |
