Happy Birthday Mark Margolis (1939-2023)

QUOTES:

  • I’m addicted to New York, and I like L.A., as I have kids there. Sometimes I think New Mexico is the one place where I could almost live there. It helps your acting; there’s magic in that place.
  • I was a student of Stella Adler and then later Lee Strasberg, and they were into sensory work. At its best, acting is not about words – even when the words are important.
  • I saw an Emmy ad that AMC took out with all the ‘Breaking Bad’ nominees’ photos, and there’s my picture from the show. It’s like World’s Ugliest Man – I’m an automatic winner in that category.
  • I’m in my apartment in trendy Tribeca. I’ve been down here for 37 years, from before it was a fashionable neighborhood. It’s a wonderful place; it looks over the Hudson River. I can see 30 miles into New Jersey. My landlord would like me to die because the rent is very low. I’m trying to outlive him. He can get a lot more if I disappear.
  • I am just a journeyman actor. Most often I take what’s offered me, and I’ve been able to work year after year. I was in ‘Scarface.’ Some people think this must have done me a world of good. Truth to tell, six months after ‘Scarface’ I had to take a job with a real estate development friend for a few months just to get by.
  • I actually don’t pay a lot of attention to the movie ‘industry’… I just do the work when I get it. I never considered anything I was in, or did, as a possible breakthrough for me. I have advised other actors not to expect anything. Expecting a ‘breakthrough’ is almost an automatic for sure ‘let down’ or heartbreak.

Happy Birthday Rita Ora

QUOTES:

  • To me, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from – if you’re a good person and you got my back, I got yours.
  • I don’t get jealous – I get suspicious.
  • I think I’ve always been fine on stage – though I get nervous beforehand. But once I’m on stage, all of that goes out of the window.
  • If I’m not working and getting my makeup done, that’s my chance to do a hair mask and a face mask and my plucking and waxing and all of that.
  • I was signed at 18 and had to grow up quickly.
  • Before every show, I have to put perfume on. I know the crowd’s not necessarily going to smell me, but when I smell good, I feel like I can dominate the room.
  • I have had young fascinations but never love.
  • I’ve always been into looking different.
  • Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe – they were myths of greatness.

Happy Birthday Garcelle Beauvais

festreviews Happy Birthday

Born

November 26, 1966 · St. Marc, Haiti

Guest-starred on the TV show Family Matters (1989) on four separate occasions, each time playing a different character.

QUOTES:

  • Divorce isn’t one-sided, and I am by no means perfect. Becoming accountable for my role in the relationship was very empowering.
  • Conversations between parents and kids are important – about race issues, about all kinds of things, about heritage.
  • Adultery is the ultimate deal-breaker for me. I would rather be alone than in a relationship that doesn’t honor me.

Film Podcast EP. 1367 – Filmmakers Marta Renzi, Daniel Wolff (CATHY & HARRY)

festreviews PODCASTS ,

CATHY & HARRY, 40min., USA
Directed by Marta Renzi, Daniel Wolff
A revealing and humorous double-portrait of Catherine Murphy and Harry Roseman whose work is in collections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Metropolitan Transit Authority. “Cathy & Harry” documents how their lives revolve in joyous, dizzying intensity around work, food, friends, and each other.

Get to know the filmmakers:

What motivated you to make this film?
We thought these two were special people, whose work and relationship should be documented.

What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
We were pleased that the message came across – and a little surprised that the message seemed to be so much about their relationship.
