Monk was credited with saving the lives of many men. Ironically, his actions in battle were the complete polar opposite from his sociopathic performance as a gang kingpin. It begs the question: Did his wartime heroics result from the fact that he was designed to hurt people in any given situation? Or was he truly a patriot? Monk’s contemporaries were Al Capone and Lucky Luciano. It’s a wonder that Monk Eastman essentially was ignored by historians until Neil Hanson came along and uncovered him. The other irony of his story is that he ran from New York in the early 1900s to save his life, and came back to a heroe’s welcome. The state of New York was so grateful for his bravery, “the Governor gave him a full pardon.” With a clean slate, it was his choice to do anything he wanted. Did he get it right the second time around? Only Monk Eastman can answer that question.
Strength, struggles define characters in ‘Conquistadora’ Conquistadora by Esmeralda Santiago; 432 pages; Knopf, $27.50
By charlee harris Special to The Star
Gloriosa Ana Maria de los Angeles Larragoity Cubillas Nieves de Donostia, mercifully called Ana, should have been born a man. It was her forefathers’ adventurous natures that led them to lands far away in 1493. It was Ana’s adventurous nature that would bring her across the ocean back to those same shores of San Juan as a woman married to an identical twin named Ramon. Ramon and his brother, Inocente inherited the Hacienda los Gemelos along with Ana’s dowry. What the twins did not expect was getting a woman so small in stature, but whose
life persona was larger than her name is long. She was a woman born in the wrong era. It was 1844, and a man’s world. She had no say in her future, except to use her womanly wiles to get what she wanted. Ana became the driving force behind everyone and everything on the hacienda. She tricked her husband and his brother into coming to their God-forsaken sugar plantation. Although, the brothers were the patrons of all they surveyed, it was more of a plaything in their eyes, and they were content to let Ana rule the roost. As she and their overseer started to become more successful as a team, the brothers
began to take interest and took control away from Ana. Quickly going through her dowry, they began to buy more and more land with no slaves to work it. Then the unthinkable happened when one of the brothers was murdered. Deep in debt, Ana and Roman had been drifting apart for months. Even their own child, Miguel could not bridge the gap between them. Ana was then faced with how low a soul could go to cling to her dream. When Ramon dies, she traded her own son to his grandparents for the deed to the plantation. Fighting weather, fires, machinery breakdowns, cholera and her
own being, she refused to give up. Throughout this saga, Ana dealt with the moral dilemma of slavery. Her conscience swung back and forth until she began to justify it in her mind. She told herself, “Look how well I treats my slaves,” and ordered that whippings to be held in a place “where she could not hear their screams.” What Ana never seemed to resolve is her own mind was that she was as much a slave to the hacienda as all the rest. It would take a new love, a new child and a tragedy to bring it all to light. This saga will introduce you to the Conquistadors, who conquered the lands through the freeing of slaves during the Civil War, and back to Ana coming to terms with herself. This novel has been called the Puerto Rican version of “Gone with the Wind.”

(But she really shouldn’t)
I
LOS ANGELES t’s hard to imagine a more boneheaded move by the motion picture academy than its decision to give an honorary Oscar, in the form of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, to Oprah Winfrey. It’s bad timing, coming less than a month after rumors surfaced that the academy had her atop its list of candidates to host the Academy Awards next year. Patrick Joe We can only hope that the Goldstein Medley academy has now abandoned that idea, since if Winfrey were to host the show after landing an honorary statuette, it would look like the worst kind of backroom, back-scratching deal. Winfrey is best known as a fabulously successful TV host; her film career is sketchy at best. She was nominated for an Oscar for her first role as an actress, in The Color Purple. She produced and had a major role in Beloved, which earned mixed reviews. Otherwise, she has little connection with the movie side of showbiz, other than a producer credit for The Great Debaters and an executive producer credit for Precious. Winfrey has clearly done lots of credible humanitarian work, but why should she be getting the Hersholt award — perhaps the most prestigious of all honorary Oscars — which in the past has gone to actors, executives and filmmakers with high-profile movie careers? Judging from my email traffic, the prevailing analysis is that the academy was reacting to the loss of face it suffered this year with the total absence of people of color from its Oscar nominations. Have the academy governors decided to paper over their embarrassment by handing out honorary Oscars to Winfrey and James
Earl Jones, who, sadly, had never won an Oscar, despite a long and distinguished career in film? It is a way of guaranteeing that some people of color will be taking home Academy Awards, even if the honors aren’t actually presented on Oscar night (they are given out at a dinner Nov. 12). Winfrey simply doesn’t belong in the same company as previous Hersholt winners, who have included such movie icons as Jerry Lewis, Sherry Lansing, Quincy Jones, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor. Even David Wolper, a Hersholt winner from 1985 who was best known for a 40-plus-year career as an A-list TV producer, had a much heftier body of work in film, including producing credits on the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and an Oscar-nominated documentary. Winfrey has done good work in the world, but that’s not enough to merit an Oscar. The academy is usually a stickler for insisting that its talent come from the world of film — when it has been looking for a producer to stage the Oscars, it has passed over several top candidates in recent years because they didn’t possess enough serious movie credentials. It should have used the same criteria with Winfrey. If the academy felt duty-bound to honor a black icon this year, it could have easily picked Sidney Poitier or Harry Belafonte, who’ve both done great humanitarian work. With her megawatt personality, Winfrey has all the qualifications to be an Oscar host. But a Hersholt award winner? She is famous for making her audiences feel good, but by being given this award, she is making the academy look bad. Patrick Goldstein is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times

Reel big news
Lost Hitchcock film discovered in New Zealand By David Germain Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Alfred Hitchcock is still surprising his fans. Film preservationists said Wednesday they’ve found the first half of the earliest known surviving feature film on which Hitchcock has a credit: a silent melodrama called The White Shadow. The first three reels of the six-reel film, made in 1923, were discovered by the National Film Preservation Foundation at the New Zealand Film Archive. The White Shadow was directed by Graham Cutts, and the 24-yearold Hitchcock was credited as writer, assistant director, editor and art director. Hitchcock made his own directing debut two years later with the chorus-girl melodrama The Pleasure Garden. He went on to direct such suspense classics as Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window and Vertigo. The White Shadow is a “missing link, one of those few productions where we are able to bridge that gap of Hitchcock, the young guy with all these ideas, and Hitchcock the filmmaker,” said David Sterritt, author of The Films of Alfred Hitchcock. “Even though he didn’t direct it, he was all over it.” Foundation Director Annette Melville said the three White Shadow reels — about 30 minutes — were found among films donated to the archive by the family of New Zealand projectionist and collector Jack Murtagh. No other copy of The White Shadow is known to exist. The film stars Betty Compson in a dual role as twin sisters, one angelic and the other “without a soul,” according to Melville. “At the time, people said the plot was improbable. I’m putting a polite spin on it. Many said it was ridiculous,” Melville said. “It’s a totally crazy, zany plot with soul migration back and forth and all these improbable meetings.”

Now at Wal-Mart: Streaming movies NEW YORK — Now playing: Movies at Walmart. com. The world’s largest retailer started last Tuesday streaming many movies the same day they come out on DVD, in a second bid for a share of popular movie rental and streaming website Netflix Inc.’s business and just two weeks after Netflix announced new price increases. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. bought video-streaming service Vudu.com 18 months ago and now offers 20,000 titles that can be viewed on almost any device with Internet access, from computers to televisions to Sony’s PlayStation3 and other Blu-Ray disc players. Movies are available at Walmart.com to rent for $1 to $5.99 or to purchase for $4.99 and up. Wal-Mart is not offering subscriptions, making its service more similar to Apple Inc.’s iTunes. — Associated Press
An image from the previously lost Alfred Hitchcock film,’The White Shadow.’ A restored print of The White Shadow will be shown Sept. 22 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater at Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters in Beverly Hills. The program also will feature two recently rediscovered short films, including one directed by and starring silent-era superstar Mabel Normand. White Shadow director Cutts was a workmanlike director concerned with delivering movies on schedule and “making sure the camera was in focus,” said Hitchcock expert Sterritt. The influence of Hitchcock, a meticulous planner and control freak once he began directing himself, can be seen throughout the images that have been released from The White Shadow, Sterritt said. “The images are just awfully expressive and terrifically interesting to look at,” Sterritt said. “It has a look — I don’t want to call it a Hitchcock look — but I’d call it a more atmospheric and nuanced and effective look than Graham Cutts probably could have injected
into a film.” Hitchcock, who died in 1980, broke into filmmaking in his native London in 1920, working as a titlecard designer and working up through the ranks as a writer and assistant director. His own directing output during his British years, before moving to Hollywood in the late 1930s, included The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes and The Man Who Knew Too Much, a film he remade in the 1950s. Hitchcock’s first Hollywood film was 1940’s Rebecca, the best-picture Academy Award winner that he made for producer David O. Selznick. Lewis J. Selznick Enterprises, run by Selznick’s father, had released The White Shadow in the United States 16 years earlier. The White Shadow was found during the second of two searches by the U.S.-based film foundation, which received grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to send an archivist to sift through American films preserved in the New Zealand archive.

Eels star gets by with help from heroes Autumn de Wilde/Associated Press
Musician E from the band Eels returns to the U.S. after appearing at England’s famed Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts and touring China.
By Ron Depasquale Associated Press
NEW YORK — It’s been an exciting summer for the musician known simply as E. He may be 48 and a long-established master of melodic, delightfully odd rock music, most famous for his hit song “Novocaine for the Soul.” But even after releasing nine albums with his band Eels and chronicling the loss of several loved ones on the acclaimed album “Electroshock Blues” — and then again in his memoir, “Things the Grandchildren Should Know” — there’s still plenty that can humble the man born as Mark Oliver Everett. Like meeting and performing with boyhood idol Ringo Starr. E told the tale of his first meeting with a former Beatle just after returning from Europe and his first trip to China for a brief North American tour. “Ringo is such a sweetheart,” he said. “He saw me watching his show in Norway, and he came over and said ‘Would you like to sing with me, it’s this song called ‘With a Little Help From My Friends.’ And he started singing the song to me and I stopped him and said, ‘Yeah, I know it!’”
E realized, to his chagrin, that he had interrupted a private performance by his own hero. Still, he was touched. “He inspired me to play the drums at 6, so it was a very moving experience for me,” he said. E also endured the humbling experience of playing guitar before Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page in London. “It’s a little intimidating,” he said. “I found out he uses the same pick as me, but I think he’s had better results.” These weren’t E’s first awkward encounters with his heroes. In his memoir, published in 2008, he recounts his collaboration with singer Tom Waits, who sent him a tape of himself crying like a baby that later appeared on the song “Going Fetal.” Waits thrilled E by offering to do yard work for him to make up for accidentally erasing E’s vocals on the tape. Then there was the first time he met Neil Young. E was horrified to hear himself blurt out, “I like your beard.” Now, ironically, E probably hears that exact comment from his own fans, after famously growing a very long beard while on tour. He was forced to shave it after drawing scrutiny from airport security officials following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. And last year, his long beard drew
the attention of London police while he was in Hyde Park. E normally gets a friendlier reception in Britain, where the Eels have scored several hits. Their first appearance at the famed Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts this summer earned high praise from critics. Europe can sometimes be more receptive to a musician known for his soundcollage recording style, blunt lyrics and fascination with all manner of instruments. That idiosyncratic approach was apparent on his recent trilogy of concept albums — Hombre Lobo, End Times and Tomorrow Morning — which dealt with desire, breakups and renewal. “There’s more of an audience for music in Europe than America,” he said. “In Europe, music is still an important part of everyone’s day, unlike in America, where it’s slowly being replaced by video games or whatever.” E stressed that he appreciates the Eels’ cult following in the U.S., where the band just made its fifth appearance for an enthusiastic David Letterman on his Late Show. But it was a British network, the BBC, that decided to make a documentary about E after he published his memoir, which recounted how he channeled the
loss of his family — his father to a heart attack, his sister to suicide and his mother to cancer — into his music. The award-winning documentary, called Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives and broadcast in the U.S. on the Public Broadcasting Service program NOVA, focuses on E’s attempts to understand his emotionally distant father, the celebrated quantum physicist Hugh Everett, whose lifeless body was found by E when he was only 18. Everett, author of the “many worlds” theory of parallel universes, earned both scorn and a devoted following. The same could be said for E himself, who has been savaged by some critics who say his music is alternatively too frivolous or too dark. E dismisses the critics and says anyone who comes to an Eels show will find it “undeniably fun.” “It’s all very misguided,” he said. “All I’m trying to do as an artist is reflect life in all its different shapes and colors, and anyone paying attention knows there are all sorts of ups and downs in a song. It might get pretty dark but it’s always in the name of getting somewhere positive, and our shows are all about positivity. “The whole goal is about feeling good about life and rejuvenated.”

More than a quarter-century ago, Hiatt left L.A. — a topic he revisits on the new album in “Adios to California” — and returned to Nashville to raise a daughter on his own after his wife committed suicide.

That’s what the song really means.” The musician has definitely been seeing stuff since getting out of Ocala — with A Day to Remember having major rock-star moments their hometown peers will never truly comprehend. Last year, for instance, the band performed at the huge Australian Soundwave Festival. Faith No More, My Chemical Romance and Jane’s Addiction were among the headliners. A Day to Remember played after Anthrax and headlined the metal stage. “I taped an Australia flag to a broom handle and as we went on stage to the ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ theme, and 30,000 people were flipping out,” McKinnon said. “It was like time stopped. I started singing and they knew every word.”

In 2008, for the first time he acted as his own producer on “Same Old Man,” which he recorded at his home studio. For the new one, he teamed up with producer Kevin Shirley, whom he’d met in the ‘90s but for reasons he said have become hazy over the years, never collaborated with in the studio until recently. “He called my manager, Ken Levitan, and said, ‘Tell John I’ve been listening to what he’s doing, I know where he’s trying to go and I think I can help him get there,’” Hiatt said. “I’d never heard that before in my life. I was so intrigued I said, ‘Hell, yeah.’”

Nashville to host National Folk Festival in September By Joe Edwards Associated Press
Nashville has no theme park, no beach and no casinos. But it has music. Lots of it. The National Folk Festival, which is coming to Nashville Labor Day weekend, caps off several months of major events held here that validate Nashville’s self-proclaimed moniker “Music City USA.” The free, 73rd folk festival Sept. 2-4 is to feature more than 250 of the country’s finest traditional performers and craftsmen, with simultaneous performances on six stages throughout the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. An estimated 60,000 to 80,000 attendees are expected. Audiences will be treated to authentic blues, gospel, jazz, cowboy, bluegrass, klezmer, Cajun, rhythm and blues, mariachi, Western swing, zydeco and more. Even polka. Yes, in Nashville, the city famed for fiddles and fringe. Performances will celebrate the cultures of Native American, Celtic, Acadian, Middle Eastern, Caribbean, East Asian, Appalachian, Hispanic, Eastern European, African and Pacific Island. Organizers also promise “a delicious variety of ethnic and regional food specialties.” Gov. Bill Haslam, in announcing the folk festival, said it “preserves and celebrates the roots and variety of American culture we have here in our state.” The festival will take place a few blocks away from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum (a city shrine) and a dozen or so raucous honky-tonks where hot guitars compete with cold beer for popularity. The festival has been produced since 1934 by the National Council for the Traditional Arts. With such a long run, the festival has transcended country music, Big Band, rock ‘n’ roll, disco and rap. Nashville, which already has 11 million tourists a year, beat out more than 40 other cities to host the event.

Gadsden museum’s fundraising exhibit to feature nature photography by Birmingham native By Brett Buckner Special to the Star
Cesar Fernandez/Special to The Star
This is where life and death take center stage. It’s an unforgiving land that strikes both fear and wonder in the hearts of man, though few ever get to witness its harsh beauty and majestic predators firsthand. But through the fearless lens of artist/photographer Cesar Fernandez, visitors to Gadsden’s Walnut Gallery will be given a rare glimpse into what survival is like for predator and prey alike along the sprawling vistas of Africa. Opening Friday and running through Aug. 27, “Wild Nature” will feature more than 20 works of photography by Fernandez, a Birmingham resident. All of the work in the exhibit will be available for purchase during a special closing reception and benefit from 7 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 27, with all proceeds going to support future exhibits, workshops and events at Walnut Gallery, which is a nonprofit, volunteer-led museum. Mario Gallardo, executive director for the Gallery, says that one-fourth of the Walnut’s operating budget will hopefully come from this upcoming fundraiser. “It’s a very important time for us,” he said. “It’s a pretty incredible thing that (Fernandez) is doing. It’s very unselfish.” Fernandez, who was born in the Dominican Republic, was given his first camera by his parents when he was a child and, with no formal education in photography, used its lens as a means of seeking and discovering a love of nature and adventure. According to a recent
release by the Walnut Gallery, Fernandez exercises his photographic artistry “in the moment” through his choice of exposure, angle and composition rather than relying on image manipulation in post-production. “My style is almost documentary, as I always try to showcase my subjects as close to reality as possible,” he said in the press release. “I photograph what I love and (what) inspires me, and nothing exalts me more than nature and the outdoors.” The opening reception will coincide with the First Friday Art Walk, from 5:30–7:30 pm. The First Friday Art Walk has become a popular tour through several downtown Gadsden art galleries and standing exhibits designed to introduce the community to the thriving local art scene. Gallardo knows that an exhibit like this hosted within a communal atmosphere is a great way to attract new visitors. “It’s something we strive for — a relaxed environment,” he said. “We try to target people who don’t normally visit art galleries to show them there’s really nothing to be afraid of. It’s still contemporary art, but you don’t need to know any avant garde terminology to fit in.” And Fernandez’ art, which captures natural scenes and landscapes from not only the plains of Africa but also South America and Antarctica, offer images that everyone — novice and art critic alike — can appreciate. “One of the great things about this show is that it’s simply beautiful to look at,” Gallardo said.

ton bar owner Sam Malone on Cheers, a comedy hit on NBC that ran for 11 seasons. And though he has had a variety of roles since then, he said he had never played a crime-buster before. But even now, he said, “They still won’t give me a gun.” CSI” whose stars also include Marg Helgenberger and George Eads, will begin its 12th season on Sept. 21. But will it go on to match the longevity of Law & Order and Gunsmoke, which tie the record for TV drama at 20 seasons? “Ted has signed on for an additional 12 years, plus an option,” joked executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. “Yeah — I think it will.”
Whoever asked, “Is it true blondes have more fun?” obviously never saw Lucille Ball in action, or else they’d know that no one had a better time than the carrot-topped comedienne when it came to making people laugh. To mark her centennial Saturday, the Queen of Comedy is being honored with TV marathons and a new comic book. To see Lucy at her best, Hallmark Channel will air 102 episodes of I Love Lucy from 5 a.m. Saturday through 8 a.m. Aug. 8. On Turner Classic Movies, Lucy’s big-screen career is showcased with a 24-hour block of 14 of her movies starting Saturday at 6a.m. Highlights include The Long, Long Trailer, her 1954 romp with hubby Desi Arnaz at 2:30 p.m., and The Big Street (1942) at 9:45 p.m., in which Lucy displays her dramatic chops as a callous nightclub singer confined to a wheelchair. Meanwhile, in September, Bluewater Productions will release a 32page commemorative comic book to sell for $3.99 celebrating Lucy’s life and career, her contributions to society and her influence on the American public.
Ashton Kutcher to debut on ‘Two and a Half Men’ By Frazier Moore Associated Press
KUTCHER
Ashton Kutcher will play “an Internet billionaire with a broken heart” when he arrives as the new star of Two and a Half Men next month. CBS Entertainment Nina Tassler shared this tidbit about the much-anticipated cast change on TV’s biggest sitcom during a session with television reporters on Wednesday.
Men saw the stormy exit of Charlie Sheen last season. Kutcher’s character will be named Walden Schmidt and has no family connection to the characters played by continuing stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones, who portrayed the brother and nephew of Sheen’s departed character. Tassler would not confirm reports that the new season of Men begins with the death of Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, and a funeral.

TV CROSSWORD
‘Birds of Prey’ actresses still working By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal
Q: In 2002-03, there was a show called Birds of Prey. What are the actresses on that show doing now? A: The series, based on characters from the Batman saga, starred Dina Meyer, Ashley Scott and Rachel Skarsten. According to the Internet Movie Database, Meyer has appeared in more than a dozen TV series since Birds ended, including as a regular on Point Pleasant. She was also in the first four Saw films. Scott has also been seen frequently on TV, and was a regular on Jericho; her big-screen credits include 12 Rounds and S.W.A.T. Skarsten has been on TV shows The Listener, Flashpoint and 1-800-Missing, among others. Q: Can you tell me if Human Target, Dark Blue, Undercovers and The Defenders will be back? A: Sorry, but you are 0for-4 on that question. All of those series are done. Q: In the movie Forces of Nature, in the hurricane scene, there was a song we couldn’t find the name of. On a Cold Case episode called “Drawings,” which was repeated recently on TNT, they used the same song. If you can find out what it is, we would be very grateful. A: With some help from the TNT and TV.com websites, among others, I was able to find that you are looking for a Sarah McLachlan song called “Fear.” (Also, the Cold Case episode is called “Wishing.”) McLachlan is quite a favorite for TV and movie soundtracks, where songs like “Angel” and “I Will Remember You” have often been used.
Phil McCarten/Associated Press
Since the TV series ‘Birds of Prey’ ended, actress Ashley Scott has appeared in the TV series ‘Jericho,’ as well as ‘12 Rounds‘ and ‘S.W.A.T.’ in theaters. Q: Will any of the CSI’s (NY, Miami and the original) be returning this fall? If so, which ones? A: All of them. But expect some changes. For example, Laurence Fishburne has completed his run on the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Ted Danson will be joining the series as a new supervisor of the grave shift. (Danson will also continue as a regular on HBO’s Bored to Death). In addition, after more than a decade in CBS’s Thursday lineup, the show is moving to Wednesdays. Q: Back in the late ‘60s or maybe the ‘70s there was a TV show called The Ghost and Mrs. Muir based on the movie of the same title. I was wondering what happened to Edward Mulhare, who played the ghost. Is he still alive and acting? I know he did stage before that show. A: Mulhare, who starred opposite Hope Lange’s Mrs. Muir in this 1968-70 sitcom, died in 1997 of lung cancer. But he had assured
his place in pop-culture history by playing Devon Miles on the David Hasselhoff version of Knight Rider from 1982 to 1986, and again in a 1991 reunion movie. He also gueststarred on Hasselhoff’s Baywatch Nights. His last big-screen role was in Out to Sea, with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Q: I am trying to find a movie starring Robert Culp. He defended his home and family against “thugs” who were intent on driving him out of his home. He was the “one against many” heroic iconic figure, and I really
enjoyed the production (very inspiring); but I have never found it again. A: You are probably thinking of Outrage!, which originally aired in 1973 on ABC. As the book Movies Made for Television sums it up, “one man decides to wage war against a gang of teenage punks besieging an affluent community.” Based on a true incident, it also starred Marlyn Mason, Beah Richards, Mark Lenard, Nicholas Hammond and Don Dubbins. I do not know of an authorized video release. It has been posted in pieces on YouTube.
