Tom Hanks address Harvard graduates
"Actor Tom Hanks gave the commencement speech to graduates at Harvard University Thursday. I'm Archie's are a letter with the latest. Tom Hanks thanked Harvard for giving him an honorary doctorate and a school volleyball, even though he never did a lick of work there. His advice to graduates referenced the Declaration of Independence, superhero comics, an actor Marlon Brando. He says Brando, who used to call him Tommy handkerchief and himself, Marlon brand flakes, said something that stuck with him. He told me that when he was a young man and registered for the draft, he filled out the form for his name and age, but when it came to his race, he wrote human. The sound is courtesy of Harvard University, Hanks urged the graduates to fight not just injustice, but indifference.

Christopher Lambert Is Not Your Average Leading Man In "Highlander"
"Let's talk for a second by Christoph Lambert, so my ever suffering son was so good as to watch this movie with me last night. And he said, and he'd seen it. I had shown it to him as a kid. Ten years ago. I think halfway through the move said, that guy's really ugly. I Christoph Lambert is not your average leading man. Forget the accent, the fact that he's blind, this massive forehead, the deep set eyes, I look, he kind of works in a wave because the love story with Heather, he sells that love story, and then the little girl Rachel will talk about Rachel in a second. That's an amazing sub story. But he's not a really good, you know, Marlon Brando, in my opinion. No, no, no, no. And especially when you put him up against Sean Connery. Sean Connery could be his father. Oh my gosh. You know, and he's like ten times more handsome still as an old man. So you do feel a little bit bad for me. If you think about it in that context, but look, he is the hero of the story. I think there is something about in the 1980s. They didn't actually. And this is actually something even back in the, you know, in the early cinema. I often talk about one of my favorite actors of all time being William Powell. If you put him up against Clark Gable, or Cary Grant, or somebody like that, William Powell pales in comparison in terms of looks, but he is so absolutely charming. He'll just like charm the brains out of anybody. That's a bit like, wouldn't you say Bogart is the same? Absolutely right. Absolutely right. And so you do find actors that are so unbelievably charming. It doesn't really matter that they're not the most handsome guy in the world. Now, I mean, I think today they care a little bit more about how handsome certain actors are in certain kind of roles. When you find somebody like Sean Connery, dashingly handsome guy, excellent actor. I mean, that's obviously like the Holy Grail of stars.

Rita Moreno's Tempestuous Love Affair With Marlon Brando
"I got to know about mala Brando through his daughter. I got to know a lot about him. But Rita Moreno had a hard time with Brando. And she admitted she tried to kill herself with pills. A couple of times. She didn't understand that if she said, if I was gonna kill this pathetic said, trot upon Rita, the rest of Rita was also gonna go with me. I really didn't seem to understand that, but that's what the attempt was. It was an attempt and I love when people get this, there's honest late in life, you know? Because these are these people are from a different generation, obviously, but Hollywood was so different back then. It was the golden age. People didn't, you know, kiss and tell. But you read these biographies that come out autobiographies that come out and memoirs and man, you get the whole skinny. What a great time must have been to be out here. But Moreno was married to a heart Doctor Who became her manager. I named Leonard Gordon and, you know, Brando kept coming around. And read it and want that. But he did. And she said he lost a big pot of himself. The good part of him, the good mullin that read a love, it was very complicated our thing really, really complicated. He was the king of movies. He was really one of the most sexual men on earth. It was one of those very tempestuous love affairs. And don't forget what you just said. He was one of the most sexual men on earth. That's why you have to believe me when Quincy Jones said what he said about Randolph would screw a doorknob. And he had sex with men. His own daughter told me he had a fling with mobile, James Dean. We were having New Year's Eve dinner and she told me that and my family couldn't believe it. It refused to believe it. And then she said, was having sex with men even after James Dean. Marvin Gaye was another one. So nobody believes these stories, but when you talk to people from their family and they admit it to you, you're going to tell them they're wrong. They're not wrong. And even though he was crazy, she admitted that she wanted to marry him. You know, but she kept sleeping with him regardless of the fact that he was sleeping around with other women, and it killed her. She said, one time she found lingerie that was not hers. And she went home devastated, crying and crying. And something wonderful happened the next day, she said, she was spotted by Elvis Presley. Who liked what he saw? And he asked for a meeting with Rita. And she accepted the invitation with that stranger's lingerie still on her mind, you know, it's going to happen now, she has a fling with Elvis because she's pissed at random.

Sebastian and Chris Kohls Talk About the Original 'Superman' Movie
"Talk about the movie. And of course, if you're not familiar, Reeves had a very, very sad end this man who was the first FiLMiC representation of Joel Shuster's Superman. I think ended up by committing suicide. But let's start with the beginning of Superman the movie. The trial scene, Marlon Brando. What is it four or 5 well-known character actors from British cinema broadcast up on the screen? Talk to us about what an iconic way to start the film. It's not about Superman. It's not about earth. It's the trial of general zod, truly, it's melodramatic, but it works. Doesn't it, Chris? Yeah, it's a strange way to start the film because I don't know if they were planning to do the general zod's story all in one film. I know they filmed, they filmed one and two at the same time. So Donna was filmed one to film one and two in one go. It was a nightmare. We'll talk about that later. So they knew that they were going to do a sequel, but it's kind of strange to set up the sequel in this beginning part of the film. And then not pay that off at any point during that first film. It's just this sort of extra thing. It's kind of a brave move. But the reason I think that this scene works is because it sets the mood for krypton. It sets, you know, establishes what Superman's father is like. And it gives us general feel of the film that is almost otherworldly. And it's beautiful and I think that it works really, really well. And it gives you, it gives you this kind of idea of the mise en scene, I guess, of the film. I don't know. Oh, you can tell he works in Hollywood. The mise en scene. And he's throwing out that verbiage. And what about the choice of Marlin? Marlon Brando is Superman's father. An interesting choice as a boy I have obviously didn't know who Marlon Brando was. Back in those days, they did this very strange thing. They did the same thing in Star Wars, right? Where they didn't use name actors for the cat for the main cast, but then they would always bring in some legend of cinema.

AJ on Jack Nicholson and Method Acting
"One night, I went to Jack's house up on mulholland drive, the house he shared with Marlon Brando. And he did something because I studied method acting, I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I studied method acting and Jack knew that. And Jack was doing something that he normally does to get ready for a part. He was singing three blind mice. Singing might be the wrong word. He was actually just droning it, you know, more like chanting it. He was emitting these sounds, standing in the middle of his living room. In this beautiful home in the Hollywood Hills, and basically in order to generate those noises, he had this posture about him, he almost looked like the character he played in one flew over the cuckoo's nest after he got the shock treatments. Just completely blind slate. Nothing. No emotion. His arms are hanging limply at his sides. His shoulders are drooped. He's an impostor that basically says he's a fucking schlemiel. His joy is slap his face has no expression. And I'm looking at him and I'm going, this is too fucking surreal. To the left, I'm looking at the windows on his living room wall. You see in the canyons in Hollywood. The sunset is beautiful to his right. There's a Picasso on the wall. And a painting of a nude woman and Nicholson sitting there and he's going three blind demise. I'm trying not to laugh. But this is his, this is what he does. He's attempting to show me what he did to get ready for parts. You know, you can't laugh at this stuff. This is what some of these people do. He was demonstrating a method acting exercise that he learned from his second teacher, Martin Landau, a lot of you don't know that Marty Landau was a great teacher. And for two years, Martin Lando had his students, including Jack Singh three blind mice in class.

She came to StoryCorps in 2019 after she'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I was born into poverty and my parents marriage was illegal, because my father was in Apache and yaki man. And my mother was white. I was raised by my two white grandparents, so there was hardly anybody that I could identify with. There were white dolls, white movie stars, people in magazines were all white. So I learned and experienced racial prejudice from a very early age. I didn't even have to walk out my front door. When I got to university, at long last thank God. There were other native people out there. We used to go to powwows together, and then I began to listen to the stories of the elders there. I thought then this is who I really am. So I spring boarded into the arts. And then eventually I met Marlon Brando. When I first got the phone call from him, I said, you're asking me to do what? Use the Academy Award as a platform to make a political speech, nothing had been done like that ever before. The winner is Marlon Brando in The Godfather.

Well, one of these days happened, and at the radio station, just about Clinton time, the phone rang, and the operator came on and said, there's a mysterious man on the phone. That will not give his name, but he wants to speak with you. So I picked up the phone. And this voice came on. And said, I bet you don't know who this is. And I said, sure I do. He said, well, who is it? And I said, this is Marlon Brando. And I said, it sure as hell took you a long time to call. Nothing and laughing and laughing. And then we just started talking, and yakking, like tool, friends like to close. In a gap this, had a lot in common. And we had about an hour's conversation. And then I said I had to get out of the office. Because the janitor was coming in. And I had to leave. So I gave them my home number. So then thereafter, he called me at home. And we continued with our conversations then. But it wasn't about film. It wasn't about the industry. Per se, it was just about our interest together in the Native American stereotype. And at that time I was going to meetings with the Federal Communications Commission with a group of other people of color.

Was Gary Devore's Death the First Proven State Sponsored Killing?
"So basically this detective puts on a bunch of scuba gear and goes into this aqueduct with about 15 feet of water. And he finds the truck, he finds it. He locates it and says, I got him. You know, but there's no laptop and the skeleton in the car, which was Gary devore, has no hands. And in addition to having no hands, there are a lot of other things about this official report that were suspicious because now the police and the sheriff's department took over with reporting on this. His laptop, which contained the script called the big steel, and his gun, which he always carried, they were missing. And by the way, the aqueduct was searched extensively during the initial disappearance and they had no success, and it showed no signs of impact. And for the official account to work, Gary devore would have had to have driven three miles against traffic without being seen. And also, by the way, let's not forget this. His lights weren't on. So the drive would have been in complete darkness. For three miles, going against the grain of traffic. And according to a Hollywood investigative reporter, Donald crutchfield, who worked for many famous people like Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando. He said, evil knievel on his best night couldn't do this. So I know this all seems unbelievable. But that's exactly why doctor Alfred spent almost ten years investigating whether somebody or some organization had Gary devore killed. It's very difficult to actually prove something happened like a murder, but you can prove that something didn't happen like an impossible accident. How can you possibly turn around on a freeway and drive three miles against traffic with your lights off? If those facts are accurate and a bunch of experts say it would not have been possible, then you got to go so far as to say, you know, you've proven the first state sponsored killing in the United States. And therefore, the murder had to have been a cover up and our government kept it secret.

"It's the greatest film ever made. Is that hype? Or is there truth to it? Eric Heinz is curator of film at the museum of the moving image in New York. I think that it is one of the greatest films ever made. And I also think that it came about at a crucial moment in American filmmaking history. You've got your Marlon Brando sharing a screen with a James Caan and Al Pacino, who represent the 70s. In a sense, eclipsing or taking the baton from the 50s, so you've got this classic American tale done in a kind of new American style. There are very few films that I think exist that way or sit that way. This wasn't enough time, Michael wasn't enough time. We get there, papa. We'll get there. This New York crime family epic has stood the test of time, although Italian Americans were at one time concerned that the film would tight cost them as mafia hoodlums and some feminists have pointed out that the few female roles are significantly underwritten that godfather is still being very warmly received. Tom Brooke reporting. Jodi said the news are from the BBC on Julian marshal. There have been a series of arrests in Iran of people the government deems to be critical of it among them is the prominent reformist politician Mustafa tajar, who was detained after he was accused of conspiring against the country's security. Mister tarzia has also been accused of publishing what the authorities described as lies to disturb public opinion. His wife, activist fakhri moto shami, posted a video on what happened when her husband was picked up last night. The establishment can not tolerate any criticism. What is wrong with constructive criticism for the good of Iran for a better Iran? I wasn't home when they saw their house. The cowards 15 of them arrested my husband when I was at home. In fact, I was on my way home when I got a call from an unknown number someone telling me that your husband is now a guest of judiciary. The voice on the phone said, oh, we just want to let you know where your husband is, so you don't get worried about him when you get home not finding him. They must have been monitoring the house the area all afternoon. Just waiting for me to leave the house, then go in and arrest him. I really feel sorry for the regime and the revolutionary guards who just do not want to hear other people's point of view. The words of fakhri, will Iranian media have also reported the arrest of two film directors over their support for protests that followed at the collapse of a ten story building in the city of a bedan that killed more than 40 people in May, had a guy as the executive director of the set of human rights in Iran based in New York, they monitor and publish reports on the human rights situation in Iran. Could I start with the detention of Mustafa Taj zay, a reformist politician who was at one point a part of the government and it seems as if the authorities now, as we just heard from his wife, can't even tolerate people who were once running the Islamic Republic. What's going on here? Hello, Julian. And thank you for having me. The arrest of touch study is really another turning point in the repression being applied in Iran in all domains of life. Touch there was definitely one of the milder critics I would say much milder than the general public attitude toward the government right now. And putting him in prison is another signal that the government is more interested in killing the prisons with political prisoners and critics rather than dealing with real life crisis. That's gripping the country and the protests that are increasing every day. Also arrested at two prominent filmmakers, including award winning winning Muhammad rasul. Tell us about him. Yeah. Very important figure right now, culturally, especially for Iran because it has taken his art and filmmaking and turned it to a powerful weapon of social and political criticism. And even though his band from making movies, he continues to make fairly good movies and impactful movies. And his colleague Al Ahmad zura started related to the ongoing protests in the country because they mobilized the filmmaking community a hundreds of filmmakers issued a statement calling for a hashtag put your gun down because the more and more protests spread throughout the country, the more and more killings are happening. And they were simply asking that violence be controlled and not be unleashed on the population. That seems to have really worried the security forces who do not want to see different parts of the country and different layers of the society come together. And their work on mobilizing the art and filmmaking community to have been impacted. I mean, it is individuals may have been arrested for very different reasons, but I wondered whether the Iranian authorities were maybe getting a little jumpy with a nuclear deal seemingly as elusive as ever and therefore the prospect of sanctions remaining in as a result. A growing frustration amongst the public about the cost of living. Indeed, there is no question that they are very well aware of the frustrations building up both economically and politically. Let's note that the Iranian population is being a strangulated, not just by their economic collapse of the country, which is due to corruption and sanctions, but also politically it really has no voice left within the decision making. And I think yes, this is a sign of insecurity that the crisis or multiplying and they want to keep the domestic situation under tight control and do not let any slipping of their power. Mister guy you mean many things. How do you guy Amy the executive director of the center for whom rights in Iran based in New York, they monitor and publish reports on the human rights situation in Iran.

Depp's Lawsuit Is Misguided but It Can Be Hard to Walk Away
"Listen, this lawsuit is so misguided, there are some details I haven't really pinned down and paid really a lot of attention to, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but these lawsuits can't be one sometimes. Regardless of fault or who initiated watt, who goaded whom only to film them, they were both messy, intoxicated, violent, volatile messes of people. You listen to those tapes and you get sick, you want to turn them off, but you can't. It's like hearing your next door neighbors just threatening to kill each other. Some people say Johnny should elect this slide. But here we are. And in a lot of ways, he is imitating his idol Marlon Brando. Not only in what he says and acts, but actually how he looks. Let's say for argument's sake, amber started fights to watch the fireworks go off and then film it for leverage if the relationship ended. And Johnny still went nuts. I see his point. Some people say there's no winning in this situation. The best outcome would be to minimize the damage to walk away, to know when to fold them. He's going scorched earth. But I believe and I know that she instigated these dramas and I don't think he should have walked away sooner. I don't. I think sometimes you got to fight for what's right. Do I think he has mental health issues, not particularly, but she certainly licked the match to the alcohol soap read that he's become. People say, well, walk away. That's easier said than done, guys. If someone's mentally ill, or if someone has issues like Johnny has, but it's just not violent. He's non physical when it comes to these things. I don't know how you can't see that. Yes, I think he should have put this in the rearview mirror and try to get away from it. But maybe he's compulsive and couldn't let it go.

But there's also a class component and a policing of what whiteness is that is part of this debate that are we really going to let this immigrant rabble.

So I actually send myself a kind message a context before I go to bed every night and you know what I do in the morning? I read it first. So everybody before my day starts, it's guaranteed to start with a really kind message because I sent it. So before I get a bed, I say something really nice to myself and then when I wake up in the morning, I look at all those texts and my goodness I get a lot of text. I love it. The first one is always from this really nice guy called rob and open it and it's a really nice way to start my day. So it doesn't have to be anything dazzling. It doesn't have to be poetic, it doesn't have to be smart and witty, because the truth of the matter is nothing you can say is more important from the fact that you're actually said it. Send yourself a text every night before you get a bed, say something really, really nice and then you'll forget about it and then in the morning when you open your eyes and you have to start your day and I understand life can be hard life can be really tough getting out of bed. Alone is at accomplishment on some days.

Every time an episode airs anywhere in the world, miss banks gets a check. So why not cut in all the contestants to this year? Not pretty. And not a good look virtual hug your virtual hook a tire up. I mean, what can you do with a virtual honey? I can not put a virtual hug in my checking account. No. On an early send me a sign photograph. No, call me. Tell me about me like a virtual hook. That's the least you can do. Hey, moving along what's going on with Kim. Yes, well Kim is furious at Kanye for embarrassing her with his recent rants. Despite reports of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reunion amid her romance with Pete Davidson, Kim reportedly wants nothing to do with her estranged husband after his embarrassing pleas on social media asking her to get back together. But just hours before their family outing, a report by the sun claimed that Kim is furious about Kanye's recent behavior, which includes his since deleted Thanksgiving Day prayer in which he acknowledged his mistakes in their marriage. Now the insider went on to note that Kim worries about the impact Kanye's behavior might have on their children. I mean, now she's worried about that, but okay. But as for the rest of the Kardashian family, they think that Kanye stunts actually are embarrassing Kim again, and the insider says he's trying to change the narrative and make people feel sorry for him, but it won't work. So rob, I have to tell you, I'm kind of torn between torn in this story because I'm not really a big Kanye fan. However, you know, his Thanksgiving Day rant, he goes on to actually do some really serious admissions about his self righteousness, his hair and sugar temper, his alcoholism, his magic episode. He was honest. You know, and so I don't know if it's really too embarrass her when a person comes out and makes more of an embarrassing claim about themselves. Why not? That's a very good point. That's a really good point. I think what people are getting at here at sources are telling me at least is that Kim is just walking on eggshells all the time, Kanye's always going to be in her life. He's the father of her children. He is who he is. And he's always going to say stuff. He's not a sit down and shut up type of guy. And so she's just treading very carefully and they did have a reunion a couple of days ago and I'm told that Kim was very careful about what she said. It's gonna sound slightly different, but this is how the royals treat Harry and Meghan. They just don't trust them. And so the same with Kim and Kanye, she doesn't tell him a lot of information. Everything she tells him she expects him to talk about publicly. There is nothing off the record with Kanye. He could tweet something or say something at any single moment, and that's a really difficult life to live. We've got friends. Maybe even in partners who are just not very discreet. And I know certain friends of mine who I do love I'm just careful with them and when you have to live a careful life it's not a fun life. And so I understand Kim being really angry about this, but Kim you knew who he was, you know who he is. That's what it is now and I'm afraid because of those children. It's always going to be like this or at least for the next ten years or so quickly before we go to break, Ben Affleck is getting Jennifer Lopez. Something very special for Christmas. Could it be a ring? This is a type of report that drives me crazy to Entertainment Tonight and I love it's a great great great TV show so they've got sources who are telling them that Ben is planning to throw an extraordinary Christmas for Jennifer Lopez, they're all gonna get together perfect. But they don't know quite yet what he's going to do, but it's extraordinary. That's terrible reporting. So Entertainment Tonight has no idea what special gift he's gonna give her. No. I have no idea where he's gonna give her this gift. Something extraordinary is gonna happen. So basically they're telling us nothing, it drives me inside. And what do you get someone like Jennifer Lopez, who do you know what she doesn't have at the moment? She's had a few in the past. You get her a wedding ring. Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back. New to CuriosityStream has Genghis Khan finally been found. Tons of gold coins could possibly be buried with him.

Alec Baldwin said in a new interview that he did not pull the trigger did not pull the trigger is Alec helping himself or hurting himself by doing these interviews 85% say hurricane himself. I watched the interview last night after I watched Annie live. Let's be clear about priorities. And it's a very strange interview. It seemed to me as if Baldwin was blaming the victim also too. Claiming that the gun basically fired itself. Yeah. He's just something that doesn't happen. I spoke to several gun experts who said that does not happen. People fire guns. Guns just do not fire themselves, so I think Alec, you are hurting yourself here. I agree with the 85%.

So they come together as a family and I do things when they can the insider shared at the time and they communicate a lot and they are good friends. So they're getting along well and everything is very positive. The source added, it's still a transition period and they are trying to figure out how it's going to work going forward, but they are in a good place. I've heard that before about that. Yeah, I spoke to a friend of hers last night and they said, they're going to get back together. They're not yet. But at least they're not telling people they're back together yet, but these two have been spotted, not just that movie premieres, I've spotted them around town in New York on a Sunday afternoon with their baby without their baby. They are going to get back together. You heard it here first. But wait, what about her and Kanye? Over over over. I never really was on. She was going to work with him on a modeling project..

"marlon brando" Discussed on Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter
"Throw in chest screaming, shouting, and she said, it was. Cory, have you ever dated somebody to make somebody else a bit jealous? You know, I think I did that once when I was younger, but it doesn't work, honey. If the person is if the person is moved on and not interested, it doesn't work. It only works if the person still has a little bit of a flame for you and in my case, on either flame was dead. Reuniting an old flame with a new one doesn't work long-term. It might for a moment. They might be jealous for a second, but that's all it is. It never works in the long run, but look at these names. Elvis Presley. Marlon Brando. Yeah. Rita girl, you had a family in the sliding you still do. Who would you pick? Elvis or Marlon Brando? I have to say, this is not just because she called Elvis boring. I have to say that Marlin just had a more raw smoldering sex appeal and Elvis seemed like a bit of a manufactured commodity to me. So I'm already seeing which one was like the most boring because of that alone. You know? He's wild to think of somebody like Elvis Presley, who we've all grown up, talking about. He's part of pop culture yesterday. It's amazing to think a he was a real person. You think now he was some sort of like God, but he was a real person dated people and it's another really interesting thing to find out he was sweet and boring. I've got to admit, I find some of the biggest stars I've ever met to be a little bit dull. Oh me too. Like, you know, you and I talked about Madonna. We both met her and I was like, wait, you're not gonna pop out of a cake or something? You're just gonna say hi. You know, it's really funny how that works. All they actually do, though, or is it our expectations are so, so big that we want Elvis to be the king? We will not Madonna to be the queen. And they're not. They're people. And so I don't know if Elvis actually was boring Rita, or if he just wasn't the guy on stage. Yes. Ring in his hips around. Yeah. It's fascinating, isn't it? When I met Kim Kardashian, I know her. Quite well. Kim is a little bit dull off TV, the Kim on television is way more interesting than the Kim sit in having a drink at bartin. So be careful about meeting your idols everybody. It never quite works out, but it brings us to our poll question of the day Rita dated Elvis to make Marlon Brando jealous have you ever done this tell the truth? Have you ever dated somebody to make somebody else a little bit jealous? Hey, go vote on our Twitter page at naughty nice rubber, or a Facebook page, which is naughty, gossip you can leave a comment there and be sure to check back on Monday to hear your results. Call in love, what are you working on? Yes, well, Britney's fiance just hinted that they're secretly married. So after a recent post on social media, some fans are convinced that Britney and her fiance have already tied the knot in a secret ceremony. So Sam just referred to her as his wife. Well, that's a big hit. That's a hit. But you know what, it's a slip of a tongue, perhaps that came in a heartfelt tribute to Britney on her birthday. Now in that post Sam says, I call you lioness because I admire your relentless strength. I'm inspired by your beautiful heart, I celebrate your smile that lights up my world, every day is your birthday, my Queen, happy for his birthday to my wife. So, you know, I don't know if that's really just like a little pet name. He's calling her because they've been together so long, but they met on the set of her music video for slumber party back in 2016. And it's been a while. And they announced their engagement in September 2021, 5 years of dating, of course, of that point. So while they may not be officially married, he recently revealed to Entertainment Tonight that his and Britney's wedding will be taking place sooner or later. That's pretty ambiguous. It's gotta be some I mean, it's gotta be student or later, so that's not a revelation. But you know, rob, I think a lot of people use that term. As an endearment term to their partner if they've been together has been wiped. I don't think there's anything there there. I hit the phones. I called everybody on my Britney sources, or my Sam sources too. I now know people around Sam. They are not technically legally married, but they do consider each other husband and wife. They need to get a knife for 5 years. This is not a quick relationship. Some people think that Britney ended the conservatorship and jumped into this relationship, not true. They'd been together now for 5 years. He's the one he's a good guy to. A lot of people assume because she's so rich that he's after her Marie. I'm told that's not the case either. He's a good good man. It makes me happy that Britney has found somebody who really, really likes her and has her best interests at heart. They're going to get married, I'm told very, very soon. I'm told it's not before Christmas though. Maybe after Christmas, it might be a surprise wedding. Over the new year, I can see these two eloping, but it is a term of endearment. I also have some friends and it's not something I judge, but they call each other daddy and mommy. I know he's wife mommy. I'm almost like vice president vice president Pence called his yes. What is one? Let us know. I know I know it's amazing. You know what, in your private lives, whatever makes you happy as long as it's legal, everybody knock yourself out. These two mainly very happy. Tyra Banks is getting bashed again. A former contestant on America's next top model is claiming that she only got paid $40 a day. So Tara is being slammed for the allegedly unfair practices going on behind the scenes on that massive hit America's next top model a Twitter user claim that the contestants were only paid $40 a day while competing on the show. That was confirmed by a contestant on season 9. This contestant confirmed $40 a day no residuals. That means they made no money from the show as it gets repeated and get this. They also had to pay for their own food. I mean, out of the $40. Come on Tyra, this is not good my Tyra was not just the host of the show. She was the executive producer and she was the creator. So this is tyrus show. Also too, the contestant went on to say, they had to sign nondisclosure agreements that were so brutal that they felt like they couldn't say anything to anybody. In fact, they didn't just have to sign one nondisclosure. They had to sign several. One person is saying that she wanted to talk to her grandpa while she was on the show, and they said you can, but your grandpa has to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Oh, my goodness. And she was like, what? It's also complicated. Tyra has admitted via Twitter that at times things went too far. She said, quote, she's been seeing the posts about the insensitivity of some of the past contestants on the show and she agrees with them. Looking back, these were some really off choices. She appreciates the honest feedback and she sends lots of love and virtual hugs. Tyra send a check girl. Okay. Look. That's the first thing. Oh my gosh, and rob for her to do this on Twitter. It's so disingenuous. She should have been immediately saying, you know what? Colin her accountants, we need to rectify this. We need to cut some checks for 12, 13 seasons of girls. I.
Death of a Film Star
"marlon brando" Discussed on Death of a Film Star
"Told me. Yeah. Oh, and crumpling is sort of beautiful way and raking his fingers through his beautiful quiff and just like just like you just want to consume this creature is so beautiful. Elvis Presley said in a 1956 interview with parade magazine I've made a study of Marlon Brando and I made a study of poor Jimmy Dean and I've made a study of myself, and I know why girls at least the young uns go for us were sullen, were burden or something of a menace. I don't understand it exactly, but that's what the girls like in men. I don't know anything about Hollywood, but I know you can't be sexy if you smile. You can't be a rebel if you grin. That's such a good quote and such a good performance let go. Thank you. Thank you very much. So when this final act in his life in his young life comes around, so soon, Jake, again, there feels like an inevitability about it because the obsession with speed has been there throughout his life. Every time he gets a bigger role he gets a faster motorbike or a fast car, he seems to get through his cars in a matter of weeks or months. He buys one car, then you'll see a faster one in the garage and get that one. He's racing, but there are so many events that seem to foreshadow what will eventually come to pass. The main one being the speed awareness video. Oh gosh. Which is incredible. He's clearly on the set of giant. He's dressed up as a character from giant. And he's got he's all like cowboy up. He sat there, he slapped his ear in his hand. Now the catch phrase from the video was be careful on the roads out there, the life you save might be your own. Right, because it's a public service announcement. So it's a whole series of these with different stars. That's it. And he turns it and as he's leaving, he gets up and he says he got to get back to set. And he walked to the door and he says, is there anything else you want to say? And he said, be careful on the roads out there. The life you say might be mine, and these smiles to himself that presenter laughs, and he's off. Shows a sense of humor. That he's spun it and he's made it for himself. But absolutely incredible that he's foreshadowed this thing, which is exactly what happens when he's on he's on the road. He's in his Porsche spider, little bastards is the name of the car. That was his nickname that he was given by the president of Warner Brothers, which James then took on instead of using as an insult. He took on a 90s car a little while. So I like it. You were saying Jake that James was quite adept at winning his races..
Leadership and Loyalty
"marlon brando" Discussed on Leadership and Loyalty
"And I always felt that desire inside, but something was keeping me back. I think for a lot of us, you dabble in things and you do certain things, you kind of walk halfway out that plank. But sometimes, unless you actually jump off of that plank, it won't work. You have to go all in to do that. And so for me, I dabbled in a few things. But I was always, if again, if I'm being honest with myself, I was scared that it wouldn't work in that it would just implode and I wasn't scared. I couldn't support my family, but I just scared that, you know, it'd be a disappointment to myself. Right. And I didn't want to do that. And so it was a very key thing for me looking back that I made that clean break and actually jumped. Designed from the job and did that because it forced me to do that. And I think even as I look, you know, things in the past year or whatever, unless you fully embrace your vision, wholeheartedly, sometimes take away those exits that you might be the escape hatches or whatever. Right. Sometimes they can't work unless you go you have to go all in. And then don't worry, it's okay if you need to change your mind later on. But if you don't ever go all in, I don't think it works at times. And so that was a big thing for me was to again pop the raft in either sink or I start figuring out how to swim. So do you feel like that was what was holding you back prior was that you were not all in on anything? Yes. Right. Yeah, I would dabble in it, but I was, I was too scared to fully commit to that because it might not work. Yeah. I really. I always wanted to. I really believe in them said this to people that you've got in your life, you have to find something that all the chips are on black. I mean, you know, you've got to go all in on something. And they said, well, if I lose everything one I regret it and the answer is yes. But you'll regret much more the could have. And nobody wants to be Marlon Brando in the movie on the waterfront. I could have been a champion. It could have been a champion. You could have, but you didn't do it. You didn't take the risk. You could have been something, but will you take the risk? So you go all in, you create this. I'm sorry, go ahead. We'll dive in to learn that it's not, it's not personal. You're not a failure. No. The idea didn't work or the timing didn't work or circumstances didn't work. That's okay, that's not you. And that's hard. I mean, it's hard to fail at something. Everyone's always like, I love failing. It teaches me bull crap. Exactly. It was exactly only I'm not quite as delicate as you. You're full of shit. It's my answer. Let's embrace failure. Nobody likes failure mates. I got news for you. And nobody likes failure. I understand that you can get it as learning, but it's still failure and it sucks. So let's acknowledge that it sucks and then learn. Yeah. But sometimes, you know, it's okay to be wrong and it's gonna hurt and all that kind of stuff. However, it's like, okay, well what's next? Right. Let's figure it out then. And because the secret is a lot of us leading businesses, we don't know what the heck we're doing half the time, right? We're making educated guesses at things. And that's okay. As long as you can recognize when it's the wrong decision and course correct. So let's take this step deeper more personally and potentially more insightful because many of my clients and I don't know many of our listeners here are in multi generational family businesses, you know, three, four, 5 generations, whatever it might be. And family business is difficult because there's a dynamic that doesn't exist in another environment that can be extraordinarily challenging. You were in business with your brother, you started the business together. Walk us through some of the challenges a little bit with that. And how if you overcame them? What was the process for that? So that people can sort of get a grasp for that. Because there's a lot of people on the other side of it going, I'd like to get in partnership with my brother, but I might end up killing him. Or am I, you know, or like people ask me all the time, how do you work with your wife? You know, because my wife is my business partner, we co facilitate together and people are like, how do you work your life? Like I would never do that. And I go because we have a process we do. It makes that work. Talk to us about you. How did that happen for you? Yeah. So, I mean, I love my brother to death and we worked together for I might get the dates wrong here. The time, but, you know, probably 6 years or so. And going into it, it was our first business for really for both of us. That actually was growing and doing things. So we didn't know what we didn't know. And, you know, I would say if you're getting into business with anyone, it doesn't matter if it's family or someone else, you need to think through what ifs, what happens if I want to leave? What happens if we don't agree on something? What is your role? What's my role? Who makes what decisions? How has it made? You need to go through that process. And we were too naive and just didn't know didn't know again what we didn't know. But for my brother, you know, and we got to a point for me, I guess it was difficult when you run a business with a co leader, you're yoked together..

"marlon brando" Discussed on The Unmistakable Creative Podcast
"In sequence because they just all happen automatically and there's an assumption that someone who successful knows what it is that made them successful but often that person doesn't know they have a different idea about what makes them successful and so that's why it's often not the experts to make the best teachers at the example of Marlon brando in the opening story of tapped on experts. Why experts make terrible teachers in marlon brando. Very famous actor very successful actor. He tried to put on a workshop for other actors and it was debacle. People walked out and it was actually quite embarrassing. There's some really funny stories about that. That i share in the book like for example. He tries to pull a homeless people off the street and teach them how to act in full view of all of these other luminaries who are in in the in the audience he. He asked him to act out scenes and that he interrupts them constantly yelling at them. And berating them and he when he doesn't like a scene. It doesn't say try doing it this way. He just screens out. Lies lies. 'cause i guess they weren't authentic enough. The point is is that the people who are often at the top of their field are not going to be very good expanding how they got there so you need to have come in. Come prepared with the right questions. Let's talk a bit about metrics and feedback. Think that you know it. Kind of brings almost full circle in a way to something we brought up at. The beginning of our conversation is that we live in very achievement oriented world in which people are very metrics obsessed. They measure their self esteem. You know by the value of how their businesses doing they get caught up in vanity metrics followers on instagram followers on twitter re tweets. So how do you actually make effective use of metrics without causing those metrics to make you lose your fucking mind because metrics can be like a huge source of anxiety..

Impeachment: American Crime Story Tells Monica Lewinsky's Side of the Clinton Scandal
"Crime story impeachment which come on september seventh if i if i run my dates correctly. Here's my big takeaway from the abundance of trailers at they have released for this in the last three weeks. Really like quite a push. So and i think i'm starting to get the feeling like this is going to be an american story o. Oj simpson moment. Where i think we're going to revisit a lot of the stuff from the clinton impeachment monica etc. But i have a question about all these trailers. We still haven't gotten a significant amount of time with clive owen. His bill clinton which leads me to believe. They're either sitting on marlon brando in the godfather level performance or marlon brando. Doctor moreau level performance. Like it's it's going to be one or the other that is definitely a take and you may right. I choose to think about it slightly differently. Which is they have two things one. It's very very hard. I mean presidential performances especially in this era are almost uniformly imitations right and it's distracting to be like oath. He's just like bill clinton. Yeah whatever Falco place. Hillary clinton like i think it was a smart move to minimize them in the trailer because immediately becomes about. Wow clive owen. Doing a great job being bill clinton sure in it's distracting from the show. They wanna tell. I think the second piece of it is the from my understanding of it. The reason to tell the story about something that you know obviously isn't fresh and a lot of people's minds but i for people of our age our generation certainly is. Is it for. Sarah paulson to win more awards. That's going to happen. But i think it's more to tell the story of the monica lewinsky and linda tripp and people who were actually the prime movers of this. That shook the firmament that the much larger figures were resting

Crazy Quincy Jones Lies About Elvis
"Quincy Jones is at it again. Look, the guys are hell of a producer and a ranger. I enjoyed the documentary I watched on him not too long ago. He was done everything. He used to write, he's the range music for Sinatra at 20 bucks a song. That he's made some millions with Michael Jackson. He's amazing. But we know the guy's nuts. We know he's nuts. He was interviewed recently for GQ. And if you remember the last interview, the last time they let him loose, he said that Marlon Brando fucked Richard Pryor. He just went on. And then they corralled him. His daughter's around dad. Stop saying that shit. So he apologized. But now he's back. And the GQ writer asked him if he ever worked with Elvis. And Quincy said, nope, I wouldn't work with him. Why not? They said, and he said, well, I was writing for Tommy Dorsey. Bob, back in the 50s, and Elvis came in and Tommy said, I don't want to play with him. He was a racist motherfucker. I'm going to shut up now, but every time I saw Elvis, he was being coached by Otis Blackwell, the man who wrote the song don't be cruel and Otis would tell Elvis how to sing. Meanwhile, not that Quincy Jones would care, but Otis Blackwell told David Letterman in 1987 that he and Elvis Presley had never met doesn't stop doesn't stop Quincy from telling a good story. So in that interview, Quincy claimed that Dorsey wouldn't let Elvis play with the band because, quote, that motherfucker couldn't see. But as we know, that's not true. If Elvis was a racist, you know, he probably he probably would have rolled over in his grave to see his daughter marry Michael

"More information is available at art Start Gove. This is fresh air. Let's get back to my 2016 interview with Francis Ford Coppola. When I spoke to him, he had a new book, which reproduced the notebook he wrote and referred to during the making of his first Godfather film. So casting Marlon Brando was just such a really brilliant stroke and stroke of luck is your over to get him. Um and I want to play Mario Puzo told me in 1996 when I interviewed him. About casting Brando. But how Brando got cast in the movie. So can I play that for you? And then it's okay. This is Mary A poser who wrote the novel The Godfather speaking with me in 1996 about casting Marlon Brando. I'm the guy that picked bringing you did pick Brando. I'll sure I I wrote in the weather. And he called me up and we had a chat and And I tried to get paramount to take him and they refused and Then, when the director came on the picture, I talked to the director Francis Coplan. He managed to talk Paramount and to run burned employ the world. That was my idea to cast Brando, which Caused me a lot of trouble before he finally got them. What did you say in your letter to Marlon Brando when you were inviting him to play the part? I think it was something like help. They're going to kill. I'm going to kill me. They're gonna kiss. I think it was Danny. Danny Thomas is the gun Danny Thomas. He was gonna buy Paramount so we could play the role at that time. Paramount wasn't really worth that much. And then he Thomas was very richer of television. And I recognize him. He was gonna buy Paramount pictures so we could play The Godfather. That scared me so much that you gotta want it. The Brando. I knew some people who knew me so you don't have an entree. He gave me very good advice, he said. No studio will hire me. Wait until you get a director and then talk to the good life and he's quite right. When I talked to the studio they sworn in and never, honey Brando. Okay. Francis Ford Coppola. You are the director. I suppose Puzo talk to you. And you made it happened. Can you pick up the story from there? Well, it's true that Mario hold of had always liked the idea of Brando. But you know, Mario was often Bayshore. He was not really on the scene so much. I've even a lot of my work with him was my sending him. Graphs and him writing notes. So although he had opposed the idea of of the Godfather being Brando, I don't even know if you told me that Because I just was hit by a whole bunch of ideas from the studio. Danny Thomas was one or this Borgnine. It was a whole bunch of ideas. Even Carlo Ponti was suggested. And finally, I came down to the thing about the character of Of that character was that you know, you couldn't find anyone knew as we had done for all the other parts. Al Pacino was totally unknown. Johnny Cazale was well, Bobby develops. Real heroes were a lot of new people got big parts, but like a man who was supposed to be in his sixties and we couldn't be Blue and, like, had never been in anything before, because what was he doing all those years? So finally with my colleague and casting Fred Rouss, we said, Well, who's the two greatest actors in the world? So we said Well once Olivier and Marlon Brando Each one had a difficulty of for that part with Olivier was British. He was perfect age. He looked like hey, looked like one of them real guys, a Genovese. Uh, on Brando was only 47 years old. He was extremely handsome as all weekend long flowing blond hair and most important, he had just been in some pictures, notably one by the great, uh, pump to Carvel called Burn. That was a huge flop, Tremendous financial flop. So the studio felt that Brando was supposedly difficult to work with s sort of irresponsible, you know, would cause big delays. The film was only budgeted for $2.5 million. You have to understand. It wasn't like we were. Throw money around and my decision to make it in the forties and have period cars and shoot in New York was already impacting the costal. That's one of the reasons why I was so unpopular, but they also hated my my casting ideas. They hated Al Pacino for the role of Michael and they hated Marlon Brando for the role role of Of the Godfather and I was told categorically by the president of Paramount's is Francis said the president. PAB Pictures. I tell you here and now Marlon Brando will never appear in this motion picture and I forbid you to bring it up again. But you won. How did you win? Well, when he said, I forbid you to bring it up again. I like feigned that I just fell on the floor on the carpet. And like, you know, a Ziff you know what? And then I said, What am I exposed to do? If you tell me I can't even discuss it. How can I be a director? If if if the part I think should be cast that you won't even let me talk about it? They said all right. Well, we'll tell you with this way one if you will do the movie for free. Two. If he will put up with he'll do a screen test and three if you'll put up a million dollar bond that he will in no way have any misbehavior that crosses The, uh you know the overrun of the picture budget, then you can do it. So I said I accept, you know, so at least they were saying if I did three things have a screen test if I could get him to do the movie for nothing, and if I could Haven't put up a million dollars, which is absurd, but but at least I said, I accept meaning. Okay, now I can talk about it. So did he do the movie for free? No. Uh I called him up. And I said to Marlon, Marlon, you know, Of course, this is an Italian American, You know? Wouldn't it? Be fun if we could like Do a little experiment and kind of improv and see what playing in Italian might be like. That was my way to talk to an actor essentially asking for a screen test, but I didn't put it in those ways. And I knew that if I could do something with this little screen test that was convincing the absurd idea of him doing it for nothing. Although they didn't pay him much more than nothing. I think they're paid him scale, which was an insult. And obviously putting up a bond. Event misbehavior was, you know, sometimes you know you you say you accept terms, meaning that you just have a way to continue. So the important thing was to do some sort of a little screen test that I could get on tape in and show to all these executives. So you play this kind of little trip and he did he did improv on or whatever on film for you. What did he bring to that? Audition that he didn't realize was an audition. Well, I had always heard the rumor that Marlon Brando didn't like loud noises, and he always were things in his ears..
