Rather, he estimates some 30 percent of their songwriters are Christian while many are pop, rock, hip-hop and country. “It’s a little bit of everything,” he says. “NSAI is for all kinds of songwriters.” It was in college that Edmondson made a friend with the same passion for music. But life took its toll and the two went their separate ways after graduation. Two decades later, they again crossed paths when Edmondson was working for a hospital some 70 miles outside of Nashville, where his old friend was working as a full-time songwriter for Sony Music. His inspiration ignited, Edmondson made numerous contacts in Nashville where he began working steadily with talented young co-writers. More than two years ago, Edmondson

The Songwriter’s Dream raises money to develop a songwriting curriculum at Martin Methodist College in Pulaski. But when Edmondson left Tennessee and moved to Jacksonville, he lost most of his songwriting contacts in the process.

NEVER use your ISP's email address By Chris Williams Special to The Star

I know it's easy to just go with what you're given when you sign up for your internet service. Your internet service provider (ISP) , be it CableOne, AT&T, Comcast, or another, will offer you that free email account, and it can be tempting to just go with it. However, that's a mistake you, just like millions before you, will eventually regret.

It’s just instinct

www.bamaescapes.com

Nearing 65, Parton still going strong as ever By Randy Lewis

Los Angeles Times

on’t get Dolly Parton started about end-of-the-world prognosticators. The Country Music Hall of Fame member was raised and remains devoutly religious, as she demonstrated so artfully in her biblically rooted classic song “Coat of Many Colors.” But the firebrand singer, songwriter and businesswoman isn’t remotely interested in giving an ounce of credence to doomsday scenarios espoused by mere mortals like California radio preacher Harold Camping. On her new album, “Better Day,” Parton sounds in the first song, “In the Meantime,” like she’s been writing straight off the headlines Camping generated with his widely disseminated prediction that Judgment Day would come on May 21. Yet she wrote the bouncy song, which urges listeners to make the most of whatever time the human race has left rather than fretting about its obliteration, long before Camping’s name was rolling off the tips of newscasters’ tongues. “I started writing it years ago,” Parton said from her desk in the Nashville office where she conducts her many business affairs. It’s also close to the rehearsal space where she’s been readying her “Better Day” U.S. tour that starts Sunday night in Knoxville, Tenn. “I wrote it when some other crazy looney-tune was saying the world was coming to an end.” In one verse, she sings: “Well, nobody knows when the end is coming “But some people tell you they do “It might be today, it might be tomorrow “Or in a million years or two “In the meantime, in the between time “Let us take time to make it right “And let us not fear what is not clear “Faith should be your guide” Faith — in God, and in her own instincts — is what keeps Parton, who turned 65 in January, a fount of creative energy and what leaves her unafraid of skewering anyone she thinks is full of hot air. Her barbs, however, are usually delivered with a twinkle in her eye and that wry half smile that’s one of the many signature facets of her effervescent public persona. “God knows when the end of time will come,” she

said, “not some fanatic. ... The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things. Anyway, we’re more apt to blow the world up than something else happening.” Parton clearly would rather people “pay a little more attention to what we do in the meantime. ... I believe in that old saying, ‘If I knew the world would end tomorrow, I would plant an apple tree today.’ I’m going to write my songs today, and if the world ends tomorrow, well, we have hope and there’s a lot of good stuff going on now.” The good stuff includes the new album, which extends her return to the countrypop mainstream sound she resurrected with her 2008 album, “Backwoods Barbie.” That came after a string of rootsy recordings that mined the bluegrass influences she grew up with in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. “Better Day” for the most part successfully bridges her more pop-flavored but sometimes fluffy ‘80s albums with her more consistently inspired recent bluegrass collections. It has been favorably received by many critics, scoring an aggregate critical response of 80 out of a possible 100 points at Metacritic.com. It includes vintage material she’s revisited for a new generation, including the first single, “Together You and I,” which she had recorded in the ’70s as a duet with the man who launched her career in the mid-’60s, the late country traditionalist Porter Wagoner. It was her professional split with Wagoner. Early next year she’ll be back on the big screen with another of country music’s most respected songwriters, Kris Kristofferson, and Queen Latifah in “Joyful Noise.” In real life, she’s been married for 45 years to Carl Dean, who never gives interviews. She makes her career choices largely by intuition. “I just go by my feelings,” Parton said. “I’m in this for my own enjoyment, and I hope by being myself I can convey to my fans what I’m feeling. “I try not to just do things just because everybody else is doing it. I write songs for one reason only: I have to, they come out of me. ... “Sure, I’d love to be able to get my songs played on the radio. But it’s more important to be true to me.”

Ex-Destiny’s Child star takes another stab at her musical niche By Jonathan Landrum Jr. Associated Press

Kelly Rowland, Here I Am (Universal Motown) Ever since her heyday with Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland has struggled to define her solo singing career, unlike former bandmate Beyonce, arguably pop’s ultimate superstar. Rowland’s first two albums showed promise, but were subpar on the whole. Now with her latest release, Here I Am, she makes another attempt to show she has finally found her musical niche. Rowland’s latest album is filled mostly with R&B melodies and some European uptempo dance tracks. She displays confidence in her self-worth with a few songs that should compel you to press replay. One in particular is her chart-topping single “Motivation,” featuring Lil Wayne, which proves that she has the potential to fully carry herself as

a solo artist. The sexy vocalist also has a host of producers, including Rodney Jerkins, Jim Jonsin, RedOne and David Guetta. But the top-notch producers are not enough to elevate Rowland’s star status on this album. Most of the 10 tracks struggle to meet the mediocre mark and simply do not measure up to the expectations brought by her infectious “Motivation.” The closest Rowland gets to good is on “Feeling Me Right Now.” She’s bold in her infatuation with herself on the midtempo track, claiming she can escort herself home without the presence of a man after a night out at the club. She sings on the piano-driven track, “I fell in love in the club tonight

I’m so feelin’ me right now I wanna take her home, take her home ’cause I know I’ll love her right.” The “Feeling Me” track, along with “Keep It Between Us,” “All of the Night” featuring Rico Love, and “Turn It Up,” fit Rowland’s strong and likable voice. However, she falters on the Guetta-produced “Commander,” which sounds more like a track that should have been made for Rihanna rather than Rowland. Unfortunately, seven years after Destiny’s Child’s last album, Rowland is still trying to find the route to her own musical destination. CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: On “Keep It Between Us,” Rowland croons impressively on the buoyant ballad for a satisfying listen.

minute videos. Viewing length can average nearly an hour. “This allows us to showcase multiple artists each day, which is really exciting to users,” says Dana Vetter, YouTube’s music marketing programs manager. “And we can hope to expect longer viewing times from people who catch one set and trickle into the next one.” How many tune in will depend partly on which acts are streamed, but online audiences for festivals often number in the tens of millions and can even — over the full weekend — rival the audience YouTube attracts for live events like the royal wedding in April. About 72 million people watched YouTube’s coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. “There’s a huge audience connected with these things. ,” said Vetter. “The trajectory of live music has come a long way and we hope to see it continue.”

Slow down, cowboy

Universal Studios-Dreamworks II Distribution

‘Cowboys & Aliens’: Two great things that aren’t so great together By David Germain Associated Press

The genre mash-up of Cowboys & Aliens is more a mush-up, an action yarn aiming to be both science fiction and Old West adventure but doing neither all that well. The filmmakers — and there are a lot of them, among them director Jon Favreau, 11 producers or executive producers including Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, plus half a dozen credited writers — start with a title that lays out a simple but cool premise: invaders from the skies shooting it out with guys on horseback. For all the talent involved, they wound up keeping the story too simple, almost simple-minded, leaving a terrific cast led by Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford stuck in a sketchy, sometimes poky tale where you get cowboys occasionally fighting aliens and not much more. Based on a graphic novel from Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, also a producer on the movie, “Cowboys & Aliens” has Craig doing the stony-faced lone rider thing to such stoic extremes it borders on bland-

ness. Ford is similarly constricted in a stereotyped role as the tyrannical overlord of a Western town, though his unfailing charisma does imbue some spirit into his under-developed character. Really, the only clever thing about Cowboys & Aliens is the basic idea itself. The Western trappings are mostly dull, the aliens and sci-fi elements are unimaginative, and cramming them together is not enough to make them interesting. As the story opens in 1875, Craig’s amnesiac Jake Lonergan wanders into the dusty New Mexico town of Absolution with no clue to his identity and bearing a strange metal bracelet on his wrist. Within minutes, he begins running afoul of the town’s leaders, crossing the cowardly son (Paul Dano) of local cattle baron Woodrow Dolarhyde (Ford), then tussling with the sheriff (Keith Carradine) and his deputies. Just as it looks as though we’re in for a showdown among a band of greedy thugs and decent townfolk in need of a hero, space craft swoop in and start snatching people right off the streets. Six-shooters are like firing blanks at the speedy ships, but Jake’s wristband comes to life, and he gradually learns how to use it as a weapon

Dolarhyde leads Jake and a posse in pursuit of the creatures, accompanied by the mysterious gun-toting Ella (Olivia Wilde), who knows more about these beings than she lets on. Director Favreau slipped from fresh and flamboyant on Iron Man to lame and listless on its sequel, and there’s more of the latter on Cowboys & Aliens. The posse creeps along through close encounters with outlaws and Apaches and has more abduction run-ins with the aliens. Yet other than seeing the two blended together, there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done far better in many Westerns

and science-fiction flicks. The aliens are anonymous monsters, and the human folk are mostly cardboard types like those you’ll find in any old Western. The action plays out against grand, gorgeous landscapes captured by cinematographer Matthew Libatique, while the visual effects are standard stuff, save for one very impressive explosion. As a jittery saloon owner, Sam Rockwell gets to toss out a few funny lines, and Adam Beach manages a few moments of pathos as Dolarhyde’s main hand. As the sheriff’s young grandson, Noah Ringer is there to broaden the movie’s kid appeal but doesn’t really add to the story. Though Ford is pushing 70, it’s odd seeing him relegated to second billing in an action movie. His role,a big one, alows him a chance to play a bit nastier than usual. But Craig’s role is the sort Ford might have done if Cowboys & Aliens came 20 years earlier. Craig’s probably the better actor of the two, but Ford’s a true movie star, and it’s easy to imagine a livelier film if Jake had more of that Indiana Jones rogue’s charm and less of the tightly wound menace Craig has made a part of his take on James Bond.

Comic Con-gregation

More than 120K decend upon San Deigo for 4 days of ‘nerdy’ (sometimes strange) fun By Sandy Cohen Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Storm troopers cavorted with zombies, Steven Spielberg chatted with Peter Jackson, and the stars of Cowboys & Aliens swooped into San Diego, making for an actionpacked Comic-Con. The 42nd annual fan festival closed Sunday after four days of pop-culture indulgence. More than 120,000 people attended the event at the San Diego Convention Center, which spilled over into downtown San Diego. Costumed characters strolled the streets and empty storefronts were transformed into special attractions such as the Sega Arcade and Monstergeddon, which mixed Marvel characters with monster trucks. Inside the convention center, comic books, toys and splashy displays touting upcoming games, movies and TV shows packed the exhibition floor while panels for various artists, programs and films continued nonstop in dozens of ballrooms and meeting halls. “This is a place for people who aren’t embarrassed to celebrate all this nerdy stuff,” said Blair Herter, a host of the G4 Network’s pop-culture program, Attack of the Show! “These people have a harder time being this excited about this stuff in their everyday lives, so this is just a giant well of acceptance we’re bathing in.” That level of excitement is what makes the Comic-Con audience a valuable one for entertainment companies and the entire convention and its surroundings were awash in marketing. Local trains were wrapped with images of Batman and The Joker, elevators were decorated inside with images of True Blood and promoters passed out free buttons, magazines, sunglasses and other souvenirs to fans on their way in and out of the convention.

Gregory Bull/Associated Press

Stephanie Horner, left, and Nick Frederickson, dressed as Harley Quinn and The Joker, were just a small part of the madness of Comic Con. Conventioneers collected free Tshirts and tote bags. There were True Blood drinks to try and even a cosmetics collection inspired by the show. Stars and producers of the hit HBO series shared secrets from the upcoming season, but that was only part of the vampire action at Comic-Con. Twilight was a tremendous draw as fans camped outside the convention center for several days for a chance to see the stars of the franchise in person and watch footage from the penultimate installment in the series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1. Fans sleeping outside were treated to a big surprise Thursday when stars

of the film came out just after dawn to sign autographs and pose for photos. “Unbelievable! My heart is racing,” said Candie Hattori, 37, who had the stars sign her Comic-Con badge. “It doesn’t matter how old you are, you still feel that little twitter.” Hundreds of fans got to feel a little twitter when they won tickets to the world premiere of Cowboys & Aliens on Saturday. To thank the Comic-Con crowd for supporting his films over the years, director Jon Favreau brought the glitzy premiere of his sci-fi Western to San Diego — a Comic-Con first — where fans got to share the theater with stars Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig

and Olivia Wilde. Comic-Con attendees also got an early look at Captain America at the festival. The film opened a day ahead of schedule in San Diego, and hundreds of fans got to see it at a free screening Thursday morning, where they were also given T-shirts, posters and other movie memorabilia. Spielberg was welcomed with a booming standing ovation to his first Comic-Con. He posed for photos with a lucky fan, announced plans for Jurassic Park 4 and shared the stage with Jackson to discuss his The Adventures of Tintin, due in December. Another upcoming film, The Adventures of Spider-Man, was also a festival highlight. Star Andrew Garfield, wearing a cheap, store-bought Spidey costume, approached a question-and-answer microphone in the audience posing as a jittery fan. Then he whipped off his mask and gave a heartfelt speech about his love of the comic-book superhero. “Peter Parker inspired me to feel stronger. He made me, Andrew, braver,” Garfield said. Before introducing his cast mates and the film’s director, the actor gushed: “This is definitely the coolest moment of my life.” Other popular panels included those for TV’s The Walking Dead, Glee and the new show Terra Nova, set in prehistoric dinosaur days. Seeing stars is a big part of ComicCon, and this year fans had twice as many chances to see their favorites. Several celebs including Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart did double duty, promoting two projects each. Theron was on hand for upcoming films Prometheus and Snow White and the Huntsmen, which also stars Stewart, who was at the festival touting Twilight. Colin Farrell promoted Fright Night and Total Recall. Even Spielberg did double-time, appearing with Tintin and as a producer of Cowboys & Aliens.

“This is a place for people who aren’t embarrassed to celebrate all this nerdy stuff.”

— Blair Herter, host of G4’s “Attack of the Show!”

Spotify an important next step in Internet music It all began with Napster, this Internetmusic revolution. Despite only being around for a few years from 1998 to 2001 as a peer-to-peer server that allowed users to copy music from one another, Napster changed how we got access to music and eventually television and movies and even books. As Napster faced legal troubles, plenty of new clients, like Gnutella, eDonkey2000 and Kazaa Bobby stepped in line to try and Bozeman fill the void, but they too Pop would fail due to a mix Cultured of legal troubles and malware. BitTorrents now rule the pirating waves and look to be fairly immune to the legal battles of the P2P networks like Napster, so if music companies want to compete with free (but illegal, even if it does seem victimless) access, they’ve got some work on their hands. The next big step in listening to music online came with the rise in popularity of iTunes, which really took off when Apple released the iPod. Other sites tried to either mimic iTunes or offer a monthly subscription-based service, like the rebranded Napster. None, however, have managed to compete with the tech

song, with only a very reasonable amount of advertising. Some big names are off the list, such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan, but nothing that fans won’t already own or have access to. Spotify also will allow users unlimited, ad-free access for $ 4.99 a month and have a premium service that allows users to stream music from mobile devices and even upload playlists to mp3 players to play offline for $9.99 a month. However, the most intriguing feature is the integration of Spotify with Facebook and Twitter. Users can see playlists shared by their friends. This is key to Spotify’s ability to survive in American markets. Right now none of the widely used programs for music really have much in the way of social media connections. Being able to share playlists and discover Kelly West/Austin American-Statesman/File new music and listen to it instantly in Daniel Ek, CEO and co-founder of the online music service Spotify, is next up in the same program could be a real breakthe long line of people who will leave their fingerprints on the world of music. through.

ost entertainers prepare for a concert tour with rehearsals. For Amy Winehouse, it was rehab. Just before her disastrous European tour last month, the infamously addicted singer entered a rehabilitation center on doctor’s orders, ostensibly to ensure that she would be ready to perform. She left a week later, with her publicist announcing she was “raring to go.” She clearly wasn’t. At the concert’s kickoff June 18 in Belgrade, Serbia, Winehouse struggled to remember the words to her songs, stumbled around the stage and even tried to get one of her background singers to warble for her. Her tour was soon canceled. A little over a month later, she was dead. There’s a long history, to be sure, of performers who wither away due to addiction while the world watches, but Winehouse’s death Saturday at age 27 has rekindled questions about the role the music industry should play in helping stars kick self-destructive habits. Why, for example, was Winehouse still being booked for concerts even though she was battling a devastating addiction? Could the entertainment community have done more to save one of its most gifted young artists? Natalie Cole thinks so. A former heroin addict herself, Cole was critical of the industry after Winehouse won five Grammys in 2008, including record and song of the year for “Rehab,” the song where Winehouse rebuffed help for addiction. Winehouse performed triumphantly during the Grammy telecast that year — but did so via satellite from London, in part because she couldn’t get a visa to come to the United States, and also because she

was in rehab at the time. Cole said the entire episode sent a bad message. “Her life was at stake. I mean, she was trying to get off heroin, which is probably one of the most difficult drugs to recover from,” Cole said. Pax Prentiss, founder of the Malibu, Calif.-based Passages treatment center, said it’s often in an addicted performer’s best interest to be working, rather than living an unstructured lifestyle without getting help. “It keeps them busy. ... I don’t think it’s good to have idle time,” said Prentiss, a former addict himself. “But in saying that, Amy was not ready to go back to work. ... She clearly was not ready for the stage, or for life in general.” Prentiss said Winehouse’s problem may have been that the underlying causes leading her to take drugs were not dealt with. But he added that he didn’t think the music industry “should try and manage Amy’s personal life.” Cole disagreed. She said the industry has a responsibility to step in and push an artist out of the spotlight until they get their personal act together. “Somebody in that circle needs to be there to go, ‘Uh uh, you’re going to have to sit down and get some help,’” she said. She said she has seen past examples of a record label halting production of new albums until an artist gets clean. “There’s too many yes people around these artists. They’re very easily influenced, they’re very vulnerable,” she said. Neil Portnow, CEO and president of the Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys, agreed that musicians who are battling drugs are sometimes given guidance from people who may not have their best interests at heart. But other times, he said, it’s not that simple. “Sometimes, that becomes a challenging decision to make,” he said.

“Do you say to an artist, ‘Come off the road, don’t make records, don’t do endorsements, don’t do anything on a business level because you have to deal with your health’? Portnow added that those close to an artist sometimes don’t know how to handle the situation, that sometimes it takes the artist to want to get better and do the work to achieve that. Yet the addiction may not let that happen, he said. Describing her own battle against addiction, Cole said she was at her worst when she was still performing. “I even had a few people who no longer wanted to work with me, because they just didn’t want to see me self-destruct,” she said. The Recording Academy’s MusiCares assistance program is designed in part to help musicians battling such addictions, providing anonymous financial and other support. Portnow said there are also guides to help the people around an artist deal with such situations. “The most basic premise is the welfare and well-being of a musical artist, or any artist, or any human for that matter, is paramount,” he said. Portnow said the academy thought Winehouse was getting the help she needed when they had her perform during the Grammys. “Our understanding at the time was that she was cleared medically to perform,” he said. “It was a performance of a lifetime for her, and it certainly appeared that she was in fine form to do that.” Cole said she wished Winehouse would have skipped the Grammys and other events and concentrated on getting clean. After years of abuse, Cole said, it took three members of her own business team to take her aside and threaten to quit working with her until she got help. “They cared. And that’s all we have to do. We have to care,” she said. “Somebody needed to care about that girl, and I don’t know if she had that.”

McElhenney puts on pounds for fame of ‘Always Sunny’ By Lynn Elber Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney got fat on purpose and to make a few weighty points. He wanted to flesh out the idiocy and vanity of his sitcom’s character, Mac. He wanted to satirize the glam appearance of TV actors, no matter how mundane the part they’re playing. And, as a bonus, he threw in mockery of society’s obsession with looks. What he didn’t intend with his 50-pound weight gain for the upcoming season is to make fun of obesity, McElhenney said. Online observers and some fans have expressed concern that Sunny is taking cheap shots at the overweight, which McElhenney called upsetting. “It’s never been the intention of the show to be mean-spirited. The characters are mean-spirited. The show is satire,” he said. No kidding. One hallmark Sunny episode saw Mac and Dennis (Glenn Howerton) attend opposite sides of an abortion rally to pick up women. Another episode had them explore using wheelchairs as a way to get sympathy and women. McElhenney, 34, creator of the sitcom that returns to FX on Sept. 15, was willing to share how he packed on the pounds , but first he detailed how inspiration struck. Watching what he described diplomatically as a “very popular show,” he noticed that two of its stars looked artificially younger from one season to the next. More channel flipping brought him to a rerun of Friends and a reminder of how the cast grew better-looking from year to year. Nicer teeth, hair, wardrobe and bodies “might work for a show like Friends. But with Sunny, the way the characters abuse themselves, they wouldn’t wind up looking better, they would wind up looking way worse,” he said. That notion is unthinkable in the network TV world, which seeks out attractive people and makes them as likable as possible. But it fits nicely with the Sunny comedy ethos.

Non-Dish viewers face wait for reruns LOS ANGELES — Seeking to reward viewers for paying their monthly TV bills, News Corp.’s Fox broadcasting company says it will allow Dish subscribers to watch new episodes of Fox shows online the day after they air, but make others wait eight days. Paying subscribers will be asked to log in with their usernames and passwords for early access to the reruns at Fox.com, Hulu. com and Dishonline.com.

CBS back on top in Nielsen ratings

Rob MacElhenney, who portrays Mac in ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,’ gained 50 pounds for the sixth season to satirize TV actors and his character. Other actors have plumped up for roles that couldn’t be played thin, including Renee Zellweger, twice, for Bridget Jones’s Diary and its sequel, and Robert De Niro for his Oscarwinning turn in Raging Bull. He more than doubled his daily food intake to about 5,000 calories, trying to keep it relatively healthy by eating lean protein, brown rice and vegetables. “It was more about the volume of calories rather than just eating crappy food,” McElhenney said. Regular check-ups ensured he wasn’t pushing his cholesterol or blood pressure up. He added weightlifting to ensure somewhat even distribution of bulk rather than just ending up a skinny guy with a big gut — although his belly reached fairly impressive proportions. He didn’t shy away from going public, at one point running into Jon Hamm of Mad Men.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Dude, wow,’” McElhenney recalled. It took him five months to gain the weight, which he retained for more than two months of filming. When that ended about a month ago, he went on the food wagon and has lost nearly half of the 50 pounds so far. For the record, wife Olson said it’s irritating to see his rapid weight loss but she “loved” the bold creative move. “I was so proud of him. That’s a lot of work,” she said in an e-mail. “Plus, have you seen his butt? It looks way better with a little girth.” If any detractors choose to target him or the show for alleged fat-bashing, McElhenney suggests they direct their efforts elsewhere. “You pick up a magazine, turn on the TV, go to a movie and you see people not representative of what people look like. ... If a defamation league is going after someone, go after the people who put these images in and say this is an ideal,” he said.

NEW YORK — NBC may have talent, but CBS has virtually everything else that prime-time viewers are interested in these days. The Nielsen Co.’s list of last week’s top programs was led by the two showings of the NBC’s America’s Got Talent contest, as it has for much of the time it has been on the air this summer. 16 of the next 18 shows on Nielsen’s list were televised by CBS last week.

$1M-plus Chinese cups top show

NEW YORK— An Oklahoma man has more than a million reasons to be happy he brought his collection of Chinese rhinoceros horned cups to be appraised by experts with the PBS series Antiques Roadshow. PBS says the collection was judged by Asian art expert Lark Mason at a taping in Tulsa, Okla., to be worth $1 million to $1.5 million. That’s easily the most valuable item brought in for appraisal in the history of Antiques Roadshow, which will air its 16th season next year. — from wire reports

‘Savannah Smiles’ child star worked again, but died young

TV CROSSWORD

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: What happened to the little girl who starred in the heartwarming movie Savannah Smiles? Who played the bumbling, unsuspecting kidnappers? Is the movie available on DVD? A: Bridgette Andersen, who played Savannah, worked at times following this movie, including in the TV comedy Gun Shy. But she died in 1997, reportedly of an accidental overdose; she was 21. The two bumblers in the movie were played by Mark Miller (who also wrote the Savannah Smiles script) and Donovan Scott. Other cast members included Peter Graves, Pat Morita and Michael Parks. The film has been released on DVD. Miller, by the way, is the father of actress Penelope Ann Miller. Q: In the ’80s, Carol Burnett made a TV miniseries called Fresno. I have tried for years to find tapes of this series, to no avail. I hope you can help me. A: The 1986 parody of prime-time soap operas has not, as far as I can tell, been released as an authorized video on VHS or DVD. Q: My family has been a fan of the show The Good Guys on Fox since day one. We read somewhere they are not renewing the TV show for the fall. Why not? This was one of the few really funny family cop shows on TV that didn’t follow the norm. A: While the show was a hit in your house, it was not so in most other places. According to the TV Series Finale website, the show premiered in June 2010 to low ratings and then watched them drop steadily until Fox finally ended the show. Q: My daughter and I watched the NBC series American Dreams a few years ago. I was able to get Season 1 on DVD and cannot find Season 2. Is there any chance Season 2 will be out in DVD? It was another wonderful, short-lived series. A: The series about a family in the ’60s (and about American Bandstand around that time) ran for three sea-

Only the first has been released on DVD and Jonathan Prince, the driving force behind the series, told me recently that music-rights issues have delayed additional releases. But the good news, he said is that “it seems we will, indeed, begin the work on putting out a boxed set of all three seasons, as well as the ‘epilogue’ which we shot at the end of production.” The epilogue follows up on the characters a couple of years after the last regular episode. Q: Did Gary Busey do the actual singing for The Buddy Holly Story? A: Busey, nominated for an Oscar for his performance as the rock ‘n’ roll legend, did all his singing for the

movie, as did Don Stroud and Charles Martin Smith, playing fictionalized versions of members of the real-life Crickets. Q: I miss Monk. What are Monk and his assistants Natalie and Sharona doing now? A: I have not found any significant post-Monk credits for either Bitty Schram, who played Sharona, or Traylor Howard, who played Natalie, on the series. But Tony Shalhoub, who played Monk, has been busy enough. He was in the HBO film Too Big to Fail and was one of the voices in the animated Cars 2.
