Actor Spencer Tracy is shown posing with longtime companion and co-star Katharine Hepburn during their heyday, date and film not known.

Author takes extensive look at Spencer Tracy in new biography

Spencer Tracy: A Biography by James Oliver; Knopf, 2011; 1001 pages; $39.95

By Steven Whitton Special to The Star

Spencer Tracy was an anomaly among his peers. He was one of those admirable actors who never really looked like he was working. His technique never showed. In fact, he always seemed to be listening. His great admirers — many of them fellow actors — were known to say that Tracy never acted; he reacted. That’s the prime trait of Tracy that this new biography embraces.

Aside from being an expert researcher, James Oliver had the full cooperation of Tracy’s daughter, Susie, who, he tells us, missed much of her father’s life and really only got to know Katherine Hepburn after his death. About Susie, Oliver recounts, “There was much she wanted — needed — to understand and the only way she could do so was to see his life documented as thoroughly and as truthfully as possible. To that end, Susie Tracy refused to influence her father’s biographer in any way, gave him full access to her father’s papers and remaining friends and spent countless hours talking about her memo-

ries of her father.” Also included are invaluable stage and film chronologies, extensive notes and public and personal photographs.

In his youth, Spencer Tracy was referred to as “that one.” After a term in the Navy, Tracy eventually accompanied friends to New York and enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Art. He met and married actress Louise Treadaway, and they had two children, the profoundly deaf John and their daughter Susie.

Spencer Tracy is not an easy subject.

To be sure, he certainly became an actor’s actor. He seemed devoted to family, and yet he wasn’t because of his open relationship with Katherine Hepburn. While Louise devoted herself to the John Tracy Clinic, Spencer became a recalcitrant alcoholic. He loved Hepburn, but never divorced. He was an unrepentant womanizer who had serious affairs with Loretta Young, Joan Crawford, Ingrid Bergman and Gene Tierney, while Joan Fontaine rejected his ongoing advances.

All of this is told straightforwardly. But what makes the book so remarkable is not only Tracy’s life, but his career. Oliver meticulously follows that career, relying primarily on critical assessments from

the time, Tracy’s personal comments in his papers and observations from those who worked with him. Tracy is followed from Broadway to Hollywood, as he eventually ends up at MGM for 20 years of remarkable films: Captains Courageous, Woman of the Year, Adam’s Rib, Father of the Bride, Bad Day at Black Rock.

With much admiration Oliver then recounts producer/director Stanley Kramer’s devotion to Tracy in such late films as Inherit the Wind, Judgment at Nuremberg and especially Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, the film on which Kramer used his salary to guarantee the uninsurable Tracy.

The quiet, restrained power that was Tracy on film is certainly the strength of his new biographer, James Oliver. Spencer Tracy is an exhaustive look at the life and career of one of our great film actors.

Never once does Oliver descend to the level of grandstanding or gossip. Never once having met his subject, Oliver has instead listened to those who did know Tracy, and he has respectfully chronicled their stories. In so doing, James Oliver has produced a book that is surely to become the definitive Tracy biography.

Steven Whitton is professor of English at Jacksonville State University.

says Hubley.

“It made it logistically difficult, but there are relationships between all the dogs, and I think if they had just been doing it all isolated … I don’t think they would have had quite the energy between them,” she said.

A New York native, Hubley’s exposure to animation began with her parents, who were also animators and took the family to many international animation festivals when she was growing up.

“A lot of what they did rubbed off on me,” says Hubley, who now resides in New Jersey. “We were very lucky to be exposed to that.”

The movie itself was a family affair, with Hubley’s sister and her band creating the music, her brother making the edits and even her young niece performing onscreen as a young Mona.

“I never planned to do animation — I wasn’t an artist, really,” Hubley says.

Adding to the energy of the film was casting Jane Lynch in the role of Honey Strumpet, a poetry vamp who makes an unforgettable impression on Mona at an open mic night. The role was originally to be played

by Debbie Harry, but when the Blondie frontwoman dropped out at the last minute, the cast was left in dire straits.

“I realized ‘Oh, it would be really fun if this part was … just a really fun centerpiece of the film,’ so I did want it to be someone funny,” Hubley remembers. Her producer made the connection for the film, and Lynch flew out just in time.

“When she came in, she did give everyone a boost in the arm,” she says of the pre-Glee actress, who later came to the premiere and several screenings after. “She really made everyone laugh — it was fun.”

While Hubley “had so many strokes of luck” when creating

her feature debut, which first showed at SXSW in 2008 and made its theatrical debut at the Museum of Modern Art in 2009, whether she will do another is up in the air.

“I started making films in 1980, and in a way, you can really draw a line from the film that I made right out of college to The Toe Tactic, and that sort of ended a chapter,” says Hubley, who is working on another short film.

“I feel like I’m just sort of going back and staring from scratch again.”

The Toe Tactic, screening and director meet and greet will be held Feb. 9 at the Alys Stephens Center in Birmingham. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online.

Avante-garde pianist to play Foothills Festival Keith Kirchoff has an intimate relationship with the piano. He knows the grand piano inside and out — literally.

In his lecture/recital this evening at Jacksonville State University, he will demonstrate his knowledge of the instrument in not only playing its keys, but by creating special effects.

His hands reach inside the piano Hervey and his Folsom fingers Artists in Action strum its horizontal strings. He taps various parts of the case (the wooden frame that surrounds the keys) and uses hand mallets inside the piano on the iron frame and the strings. These are just some of the ways he makes contemporary music come from a traditional, familiar instrument.

Kirchoff performs for the 6th Annual Foothills Piano Festival at 7:30 tonight in Mason Hall’s Performance Center on the JSU campus. His recital, the avante-garde composer and pianist said, will be an exploration of 21st century music. His performance goal, he adds, is to generate new audiences for contemporary music.

There is no admission fee. Everyone who loves art will enjoy this event, said Wendy Faughn, associate professor of music at JSU. “I’m guessing most people in the audience won’t have heard a piano recital like this before,” Kirchoff predicted from his studio in Boston, Mass., during a recent telephone inter-

of his own compositions at the end of the program.

His “Adventures of Norby” a work influenced by composers in music history, is a theatrical work based on the science fiction series written by Issac Asimov and his wife, Janet.

“It’s a musical diary from the life of Norby, the mixed-up robot,” the musician said. “I liked the stories as a child, and they kind of stuck with me.”

Those in the audience who listen closely will hear a fugue within the piece. While this wasn’t Bach’s fugue, this part of the Norby piece is influenced by Bach, Kirchoff explained.

Many music lovers don’t feel at home with this treatment of music.

They miss the hummable melodies of Chopin and Mozart, and the more relaxing and consoling tunes for the stress of daily living, it is stated in author Aaron Copeland’s What to Listen for in Music. But the chapter on this subject states: “Serious music was Special to The Star never meant to be just Avante-garde pianist Keith Kirchoff will perform that.

David Lee Roth is on the loose with Van Halen

By Geoff Boucher Los Angeles Times

Charles Sykes/Associated Press

Van Halen members David Lee Roth, left, and Eddie Van Halen perform at Cafe Wha? in New York, Thursday, Jan. 5.

On Feb. 7, Interscope Records will release A Different Kind of Truth and, as the world turns, it will represent the first Van Halen studio album featuring Roth as lead singer since 1984 — which was released 28 years ago this month, right before Ronald Reagan announced plans to run for a second term.

Time flies — or does it drag? Earlier this month, on a crisp, sunny morning in Pasadena, Roth, now 57, welcomed a visitor to his 20-room, Italianate mansion to talk about Van Halen past, present and future.

Roth actually rejoined the band “five summers and a million years ago” for the 2007-08 reunion tour, but it’s taken this long for the still-volatile collective to finish an album that satisfies all of their agendas.

Van Halen’s brawny brand of music has sold more than 80 million albums, but offstage the group has been a fragile alliance that has fallen apart again and again because of creative clashes, drug torpor, grudges and, more recently, health issues.

“We accused each other of betrayal and thievery and lies and treachery,” said the upbeat and chatty Roth. “And it was all true. We were all guilty. Dig up the past, and it’s going to get all over everybody.

And, man, do we have a past ...”

The history traces back to 1972, when the Van Halen brothers, guitarist Eddie and drummer Alex — a pair of classically

trained teen musicians born in the Netherlands but raised in Pasadena — auditioned singers for a planned band. Roth didn’t make much of an impression at his tryout, but the brothers wanted to use his sound system and letting him in the band was better than renting the gear.

Fame and fortune would follow, but again and again it was the brothers Van Halen deciding who should hold the microphone. They could do that because of the stature of Eddie Van Halen, who is revered by rock fans as a sort of madgenius guitar god, the heir of Jimi Hendrix.

He might also be viewed as the Elizabeth Taylor of rock, considering the way he divorces lead singers, including Sammy Hagar — and, if so, Roth is forever his Richard Burton.

The reunited frenemies are a source of fascination, and fans are eager to see them share a spotlight when the reconstituted band (with Eddie’s son, 20-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen, who replaced longtime member Michael Anthony on bass) starts a 46-date arena tour in Louisville, Ky., on Feb. 18. The music industry, meanwhile, is watching the whole enterprise and wondering if the wheels will fly off; more than squabbles, the worry is also about the state of Eddie Van Halen, a rehab veteran who has also lost a third of his tongue to cancer and undergone hip replacement. There

PASADENA, Calif. — It’s an old joke, but when David Lee Roth delivers the punch line it sounds more like a mission statement: “How many lead singers does it take to put in a lightbulb? One. You hold the bulb and wait for the world to revolve around you.”

Missing from the joke is how the singer is left standing there in the dark waiting for his proper wattage. were postponed shows on the last tour (2007-08), which were explained only by vague promoter statements about medical procedures.

(All Van Halen family members, through their representatives, declined to be interviewed for this story.)

In their youth, Roth and the Van Halens were clearly bonded by their love of hard rock, but Roth says they were also connected by the “immigrant energy” of their families, who were “desperate people seeking desperate fortune — with a smile.”

Roth was born in Bloomington, Ind., as the son, grandson and nephew of Jewish doctors, but the north-star figure in his youth turned out to be Manny Roth, the uncle who owned the Cafe Wha? in New York.

It’s one of the more illustrious dives in Greenwich Village — Bob Dylan played there, so did the Velvet Underground and Lenny Bruce — and despite the peeling paint and low ceilings it was a palace of possibility for young Roth. “I was 7 years old when I decided very specifically what I was going to be, and it was there in that room,” he said.

On Jan. 5, Roth was back in the club; the “secret show” by Van Halen was meant to stir press, rock radio and fan interest, and it did all of the above. During the show, the band played a vamping, boogie-propelled

song called “She’s the Woman” that will be on the new album. The song has considerable history; a version of it was on the demo record (produced by Gene Simmons of KISS) that landed Van Halen a deal with Warner Bros. in the 1970s.

Throughout the album, the band has gone back and excavated pieces of unrecorded songs, lyrics from old notebooks and half-pursued concepts to build the 13track collection.

“It’s material that Eddie and I generated, literally, in 1975, 1976 and 1977,” Roth said. “Usually fellas in our weight division will kind of gamely — or ironically, wink, wink — try to hail back to it (but) keep a safe, mature distance from it.”

The fan reaction to the album’s first single, “Tattoo,” has been mixed, but Roth and company know that the tour will be the true proving ground for them.

Roth, who has short hair now and a lean physique earned with decades of martial arts training, displayed a few of the dance moves he’s been working on for the show.

As for his old friend and rival, Roth smiled and gave the world a bit of fair warning about the reclusive guitar hero.

“There’s an old Russian saying: ‘There’s no more lines in that guy’s stomach.’ It means somebody got fat and slow. There are still a lot of lines in Eddie’s stomach.”

Cohen has spiritual vibe on ‘Old Ideas’

By John Carucci Associated Press

Throughout his 45-year career, Leonard Cohen has walked a fine line between love, sex and religion, often embodying the trinity in the same song. Cohen doesn’t abandon those themes on his latest album, Old Ideas, his first studio recording in eight years and perhaps one of his best in decades.

Part of the reason the record succeeds is the honesty that the 77-year singer-songwriter delivers as he questions mortality, God and betrayal with poetic dignity.

In 2005, Cohen’s former manager took the liberty of emptying his savings accounts, leaving the deepthroated troubadour nearly broke.

And though the singer won a civil suit in 2006, it’s not believed that

he’s collected any money back. As a result, Cohen has had to spend his retirement years on the road singing for his supper.

But out of this adversity comes an album rooted heavily in his signature prayer-like delivery with an air of aesthetic realism.

Old Ideas kicks off with “Going Home,” a poem written by Cohen and set to music by Cohen and co-writer Patrick Leonard. Hearing Cohen’s nearly-spoken voice delivery, it becomes a powerful ditty of Cohen’s spiritual foundation as well as how he sees himself.

In the song, God says Cohen does what he tells him, even though it’s not always welcome. This sets the tone for the remainder of album of a man tormented by mistakes of the past and his growing older.

Cohen has never been a stranger to religious overtones: After all, he’s

the man that wrote “Hallelujah,” which became immortalized by the late Jeff Buckley.

But this album seems to provide more weighted spiritual balance.

It’s not religious, at least in any organized form, but it’s definitely more pious than usual. One has to go no further than the record’s second track “Amen,” a lengthy ominous piece that seems diametric to “Hallelujah,” where the singer questions if he’s understood by God. Minimal instrumentation helps support the album’s 10 tracks, dominated by Cohen’s raspy baritone delivery. While instrumentation varies from guitar to steel guitar and piano and bass, there’s a nice compliment of percussive rhythms and background vocals.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: Even on first listen, the albums most upbeat track, “Banjo” (not saying much for the slow-paced album) plays as comfort food for the ears.

Canadian poet and singer Leonard Cohen performs on the stage during the 42nd Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, July 8, 2008. Cohen’s latest album, ‘Old Ideas,’ was released this week.

More to Del Rey than ‘SNL’ horror

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

Before you judge Lana Del Rey for her disastrous performance on Saturday Night Live, listen to her album.

Last month’s performance on SNL was strikingly horrific. Del Rey sang two songs with no emotion or effort, appearing bored and detached. Her hair even looked strange. The whole thing was a mess, but that’s not the complete case on her album, Born to Die. Del Rey’s buzz has been outrageous over the last few months, with headlines ranging from that SNL performance to her father’s wealth to her plump lips. But her debut is somewhat impressive, at times lovely, at others lackluster.

The 12-track set mainly finds the 25-year-old singing about a tumultuous relationship — she often sings about how he “likes those insane girls” — and she sounds convincing on the first single “Video Games,” as well as “Dark

Paradise” and “Summertime Sadness,” which is almost as good as a Lykke Li track. But on other songs, Del Rey is a lyrical failure, sounding unfocused. On “Diet Mountain Dew,” with its hip-hop beat, she sings about 7-Eleven and a Pontiac; others songs are also sprinkled with similar nonsense. Del Rey is part of a cluster of mainstream pop singers — Lady Gaga, Ke$ha — who often blurt weird things in song, which is unfortunate for the listener (and unfortunate for them, too).

Sonically though, Born to Die shines, thanks to rap-based producers like Emile Haynie (Ice Cube, Cormega, Kid Cudi) and Jeff Bhasker, the man behind much of Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and 808’s and Heartbreak. It’s a mix of 1960s retro, eerie artsy girl hooks and weird-girl pop — an odd mix, and overall oddly uneven album.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Summertime Sadness” has a hook that is a little dramatic, very addictive, and allaround amazing.

It owes a great debt to the found-footage conceit of The Blair Witch Project, has some of the aesthetic and tonal touches of Cloverfield and probes the same sorts of philosophical notions about the burden of power that serve as the basis for the X-Men series. And yet, Chronicle still has enough energy and ingenuity to serve as thrilling entertainment all its own.

First-time feature director Josh Trank and writer Max Landis (as in son-of-John) have come up with a clever way to tell a hand-held, point-of-view story without relying on the same old grainy, headache-inducing shaky-cam techniques: The camera can levitate. Because the three teenagers who take turns operating it have acquired the power of telekinesis.

These are three recognizable high school types: nerdy loner Andrew (Dane DeHaan), popular athlete Steve (Michael B. Jordan) and Matt (Alex Russell), Andrew’s cousin who falls somewhere in the middle of the social hierarchy. One night in the woods outside a party, they discover a hole in the ground and decide to explore it.

Since Andrew chronicles everything with his video camera, he documents what they find: some sort of glowing cosmic thing which fascinates them, and also gives them the ability to move and manipulate things with their minds. Rather than embark on some important superhero adventure, they do what regular kids would do. They mess with people at Wal-Mart.

The third act goes a little haywire, though, especially as the camera device collapses in favor of various points of view.

‘Mockingbird’ 50th anniversary combo pack released

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

This week’s new DVD releases include the Blu-ray releases of a film classic and sci-fi TV series, and a dark tale starring Ryan Gosling.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Grade A: To mark the 50th anniversary of this amazing movie, a commemorative limited edition collector’s series Blu-ray combo pack is being released.

The digitally remastered and fully restored version offers clearer images, but this film, based on Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, is already powerful because of the writing and performances. This is one of the finest works by Gregory Peck in a career filled with memorable performances.

Drive, Grade C-minus: The first half of this film from director Nicolas Winding Refn should be called Coast.

Gosling is a Hollywood stuntman by day and getaway driver by night. When the loner connects with his neighbor (Carey Mulligan), he gets a clue to a past that’s turned him into a sociopathic driver. The tedium of the film might have worked if Gosling’s character had any life, but Refn’s direction is methodical to the point of being pretentious.

Drive is one of those movies that wraps itself in the art of cinema by cherry-picking the best from genres such as film noir, Sam Peckinpah violence and ’70s social rejection. It might have worked in the hands of a better movie mechanic, but Refn’s vehicle stalls out.

Star Trek: The Next Generation — The Next Level, Grade B-plus: Episodes of the ’80s’’90s sci-fi TV series are being released in the enhanced Blu-

ray format. The initial release includes “Encounter at Farpoint,” “Sins of the Father” and “The Inner Light.”

This upgrade creates images so sharp that the product is far superior to the original.

Radcliffe leaves Potter behind in ‘Woman’

By Roger Moore The woman in black HHH rating: PG-13 for thematic material and violence/disturbing images Running time: 1:35 Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Janet McTeer, Ciaran Hinds

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Daniel Radcliffe acquits himself reasonably well in his first adult big-screen role, a man haunted by The Woman in Black.

He plays a young lawyer, a single father and widower with enough conviction to make this spooky period piece credible, though one might wish for a little more fear in the character and in his performance when confronted by the supernaturally sinister.

I guess once you’ve faced down Lord Voldemort, you ain’t afraid of no ghosts.

Arthur Kipps is a failing young barrister in the Britain of the early 1920s. He still grieves for his wife, who died in childbirth, and pays a little too much attention to the spiritualist ads in his local newspaper.

That’s how much he longs to see her again.

But he has a young son to support, so he seizes one last chance to prove himself to his firm — a trek to the north of Britain, to the marshy east coast where he must rummage through the papers of a family whose long-abandoned mansion, Eel Marsh, is to be sold.

The residents of the dank, grey and backward little village of Crythin Gifford aren’t very welcoming. There’s no room at the inn, no smile at any door. They want him gone, and quick. And as the film’s opening scene has shown three village girls hurl them-

Lake) film. The back story may be only sketched in, but the chilling moments arrive with a bracing, hair-raising jolt. I love the way he uses the simplest effects — the way Arthur, holding a candle, is followed across the room through the reflection of the candle on an old doll’s glass eye, a simple look of doomed resignation on a child’s face, an unearthly hand slapped against a window. Oscar nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs) is a special effect herself, playing the mercurial, mad Mrs. Daily.

Even Streep can’t save superf icial ‘The Iron Lady’

By Christy Lemire Associated Press

The same problems that plagued La Vie en Rose, starring Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf, exist in The Iron Lady, a biopic about Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep as the former British prime minister. While both films feature strong performances from strong actresses playing strong, real-life women, the scripts are weakened by going strictly by the numbers.

Sure, Streep reliably nails her impression of Thatcher — that swoop of big ’80s hair, the measured voice, the steely demeanor.

Her impeccable ear for accents and detailed mimicry of manner-

The iron lady HH rating: PG-13 for some violent images and brief nudity Running time: 1:45 Starring: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent isms is well-documented at this point — who better to play this role? And there’s fire beneath the reserved exterior: The way she dresses down her deputy during a crowded cabinet meeting, for example, is just withering.

But the film from Phyllida Lloyd (who previously directed Streep in the giddy ABBA musical Mamma Mia!), based on a

script by Abi Morgan (Shame), reduces this high-profile life to a greatest-hits collection of historic moments. It’s a trap into which so many biopics tend to fall in trying to encompass everything. Here’s Thatcher’s first election to public office; there’s her ascension to the prime minister’s post, the first (and, so far, only) time a woman achieved that rank. Here’s the Falkland Islands conflict, there’s the Berlin Wall coming down.

Through it all, her beloved husband, Denis (Jim Broadbent), stood by her side, until — and after — his death. One of the more facile and repetitive narrative devices in The Iron Lady features the aged, fragile Thatcher seemingly talking to herself when in reality she’s

speaking to her deceased husband, a symptom of the dementia that’s gnawing at her once-formidable brain. (Thatcher herself is now 86 years old.) This inevitably sets up a flashback to one of the aforementioned historical events.

You just know that if Thatcher is by herself in her lonely, empty home, Denis will pop up to amuse and cajole her, if only in her imagination. It happens so often you can predict it, which erodes its emotional impact and the deep sense of loss it’s meant to convey.

The Iron Lady focuses more on Maggie the woman and only superficially explores her global political influence; the inclusion of archival footage makes the film feel especially cursory. As it traces

her rise from grocer’s daughter and young wife (when she’s played

by Alexandra Roach) to titanic, divisive figure, it pays a great deal of lip service to the importance of public service but leaves you feeling dissatisfied. You never truly get a chance to learn what motivated and drove her, especially given the gender gap she had to cross. And the idea that her family relationships suffered as a result of her political aspirations is something that’s hinted at in passing and glossed over, rather than explored.

And yet, there is Streep, in an array of prim blue suits and those ever-present pearls. But even the greatest actress of our time can only do so much when the figure she’s playing just isn’t on the page.

This screen shot from a computer shows pro-football game action without watching television. For the first time, football fans will be able to watch the Super Bowl live on a computer or phone.

Associated Press

As for the football, I was surprised how well I was able to follow it. I wasn’t able to track the ball for some of the passes and field goal kicks, but I was able to follow it on runs. Sure, the ball is small, but your eyes are much closer to the screen. So proportionally, it’s somewhat comparable to what you’d get standing several feet away from the TV. The video quality was adequate over a cellular connection.

Some of the players looked more like video game characters than real people, reminding me of the early days of Internet video. Quality improved with a Wi-Fi connection because more data can be sent without worrying about congestion or data charges.

Video on the phone lagged the TV broadcast by about 30 seconds, so don’t fall for any instant bets your TV-watching friends try to make with you. If others are watching in the next room, be prepared for cheers and jeers before you see the action.

Also, for the first half-hour, the app will ask you a few times whether you are really there. The video stops if you don’t confirm your presence. I found it disruptive, though Verizon says it’s to ensure that people don’t inadvertently run up data charges.

Elgato’s EyeTV HD is a small gray box that packs a powerful punch. It allows live streaming from your cable or satellite box to any Apple-created computer, iPhone or iPad. A connection between your Mac and the device is required in order to work. This can be an inconvenience to those who Chris have the telePittman vision and iSpy computer in separate rooms.

The box also needs to hook up to your cable or satellite receiver.

The cables and different boxes can create a bit of a clutter, so make sure to create enough room to house all of the items that will line the entertainment center.

Fortunately, that is the only main gripe I have with Elgato’s streaming television product.

The EyeTV HD serves as a makeshift DVR in addition to streaming television to your Mac. The quality is fantastic, despite the fact that it uses component hookups over the more advanced HDMI setup.

Users of Apple’s iPhone or iPad can even watch TV from out of the house. A free application on the iTunes Store is all that is needed. An infrared sensor placed in front of the EyeTV box is used to change the channels when you are inside of the app. This feature arguably extends the worth of your cable or satellite service, as you’ll have more opportunities for use.

Elgato’s EyeTV HD is a bit expensive for a DVR, but well worth the price when combined with its extra features.

For those who have an iOS device and love watching television, it’s a no brainer.

iZON Remote Room Monitor by Stem Innovation; $129.95 I don’t like vandals or crooks. I hate the thought of my home being vulnerable to their cruel activity when I’m away. And since it doesn’t look like Batman will be moving to Anniston anytime soon, I need an alternative. The iZON Remote Room Monitor fills that role extremely well. iZON’s product comes complete with a wireless camera and an iOS application.

The camera takes little time to setup, as all you need to do is activate the device and sync it with a wireless Internet connection.

Once activated, users can watch what the camera sees on their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

The camera can be configured to record to a private YouTube account when motion is sensed. This will catch any intruder without them knowing anything.

Video and audio can be recorded with the touch of a button. This is great for shooting small videos that you want to edit on your iOS device and upload to a social media outlet.

The device is more than just a security camera, though.

The company mentions using the product to monitor a young child in a crib. This is a great way to keep check on a baby while working in another room. It also provides more than the standard baby monitor, as you’ll have a full picture to accompany the audio.

The iZON Remote Room Monitor is a tad pricey at $129.95 per camera. However, the piece of mind that comes with knowing your possessions are safe is priceless. The added abilities of recording audio and video combined with the small but sleek design makes for an impressive product. Those looking for a web cam with a boost should consider iZON’s device.

TIM1959–2012 DOYLE:

By Brett Buckner

T

Special to The Star

he first time Michelle Deese Bain met Tim Doyle was around 2004 when she decided to join CAST (Community Actors’ Studio Theatre). With his sense of humor and gentle nature, Doyle was the kind of person that others gravitated to, and Bain was no exception.

“Tim was one of the best people I’ve ever met,” she said. “He was always ready with a smile and knew just what to say or do to make me feel better.”

The members of CAST as well as the staff at Walgreens, where he worked as a pharmacist, are now consoling one another following Doyle’s death from cancer on Sunday morning. He was 52 years old.

Amid their shared sorrow, friends and family remember Doyle as a man who spread joy to everyone he met.

“Tim was as generous as any person I have ever known,” says Mike Stedham, longtime friend and one of the founding members of CAST. “It wasn’t just money — it was his time, his energy and his enthusiasm that he shared with all of us in the local theater community. He was always pushing us to do better shows and reach a bigger audience.”

Tim Doyle rarely met a stranger, but if he did, they didn’t remain one for long, says Doyle’s sister, Marilyn Colvin.

“He loved everyone,” she said. “He was so easy-

“Tim was as generous as any person I have ever known.

It wasn’t just money — it was his time, his energy and his enthusiasm that he shared with all of us in the local theater community.”

— Mike Stedham, founding member of CAST going and fun, a man who’d do just about anything for anyone.”

Denise Davis, who recently shared the stage with Doyle in Gadsden, remembers a man who did whatever was necessary to bring a production to life.

“Tim was a goodhearted person with a great sense of humor,” Davis says. “He enjoyed working at the pharmacy, but he really enjoyed doing theater. Once he became involved with CAST, he became very involved because he was willing to help wherever he was needed.”

Though he’s known in community theaters in Anniston, Heflin and Gadsden as the consummate actor and supporter of the arts, those who knew him growing up would have been surprised to see Doyle on stage, Colvin said.

“He was always real shy,” she said. “But when he was on stage, he just became that character. It was his true calling.”

In his role as assistant casting director for CAST, Doyle often served as a soothing emotional bal-

ance to fiery, outspoken CAST director Kim Dobbs.

“He was always a gentleman, even when I didn’t act like much of a lady,” she said with a laugh.

“And all that time when he was sick, he never complained once.”

Doyle was known for numerous characters he portrayed over the years, but it was perhaps his final role that was his best. Just before Christmas, when no one really knew he was sick, Doyle appeared as Elwood P. Dowd in the Theater of Gadsden’s production of Harvey, a role he’d long dreamed of playing.

“I believe that show was the highlight of his theatrical career,” Stedham said. “When the cast met the audience after the show, Tim was beaming. I had never seen him happier. The look of deep satisfaction on his face was how I choose to remember him.”

For Pati Tiller, Doyle’s most memorable character was that of the childlike Raynerd Chisum in the CAST production of Southern Hospitality.

“Tim created a Raynerd that allowed audiences

to see him as a person and not as a fool,” said Tiller, who shared the stage with Tim in numerous community theater productions. “The audience laughed with Raynerd and not at him. A lot of actors could have taken that over the top and made him a caricature, but Tim didn’t.”

Most of Tiller’s memories of Doyle involve the telephone. Many of their conversations would begin with Tiller picking up the phone and almost before she could say hello, Doyle would be on the other end saying, “You’re never going to believe this, but …” whenever he had a juicy bit of gossip to share. But Doyle was also the first to call Tiller and his other theater friends to share words of encouragement or to simply say, “Break a leg.”

And if someone was going through a tough time, Doyle was always there, Bain said.

“When I was diagnosed with cancer, he checked in with me to make sure I didn’t need anything,” she said. “When I got divorced, he encouraged me and made me laugh when no one else could. And on the stage, he inspired me to push further than I thought I could.

“Above all else, Tim always believed in me.”

Doyle chose to be cremated, but CAST is planning a memorial service for some time later this month. The current CAST performance of The Nerd is dedicated in Doyle’s memory. His sister asks that in instead of flowers, donations be made to either CAST or the Theatre of Gadsden.

NEW YORK — You can’t hurry love. Nor, according to Michael Gelman, can you hurry up selecting a TV co-host.

A couple of months after 80year-old Regis Philbin exited Live!

With Regis and Kelly and took his name in the title along with him, Kelly Ripa has been welcoming a succession of fill-in co-hosts. A number of them — no one’s saying just who — are auditioning onthe-air to land the job for keeps.

It’s a process that Gelman, the show’s executive producer, calls dating, and, as fans wait for the show to pop the question weeks or months from now, Live! is sowing its wild oats. (Live! With Kelly, which airs in syndication weekdays at 8 a.m. in many markets, this week features guest co-hosts Daniel Radcliffe, Howie Mandel, Peter Facinelli and D.L. Hughley).

“We’ve just scratched the surface of people out there,” Gelman says, adding, “We have enjoyed a lot of people who have already co-hosted, and we’re bringing a bunch of them back for more ‘dates.’”

That first batch of callbacks will include Jerry O’Connell, Dana Carvey, Seth Meyers and Michael Strahan.

“But I’m not saying there’s a short list,” insists Gelman. “Every day we come up with new ideas, and we get new revelations about who the new host should or shouldn’t be. The chemistry is key — and not just with Kelly, but with the audience and the staff and the format.”

In other words: Don’t bother even asking how much longer these tryouts will take.

“I’ve been through it from the other side,” noted Ripa, a party to the monthslong dating whirl a dozen years ago, during a phone interview. “I sort of understand how it works, and what it is they’re looking for, and how this process can’t be rushed.”

In particular, the new hire must click with Ripa in the host chat, the morning set-piece where the cohosts talk about what’s going on out in the world and in their per-

“This format, a sort of fauxhusband and wife who sit down and chat, lets viewers vicariously experience the co-hosts’ pains and pleasures,” Gelman says. “The early-morning news shows have borrowed heavily from our success, and reality shows have taken a cue from how Regis would come on and just talk about his life.

“In some ways, it really was at the cutting edge of what a lot of television is now. I think the show broke ground with it, and continues to.”

For this interview, Gelman is in his office, a pleasant jumble of show-related curios including a small desktop gong that long ago must have served as an on-the-air prop (though no one can remember how), with which he placidly summons staffers to meetings.

His space is further appointed by grids of color-coded cards pinned to the wall inscribed with names of future guests, one of whom may end up taking up residence here at

the show’s Upper West Side Manhattan headquarters.

Since Philbin left, “it’s been different, it’s been sad,” says Gelman. “But it’s also been an exciting time. I think Kelly is enjoying ‘dating,’ and so is the audience: Our numbers are trending higher than last year.” (Five of the first seven “Kelly-only” weeks saw household audiences match or beat the same week a year earlier, and for the 2011-12 season to date, Live! viewership is averaging 3.7 million viewers daily, compared to 3.3 million viewers the season before.)

In Philbin’s absence, Gelman, still boyish at age 50, has emerged as the grand old man of Live! He is the constant, the keeper of the flame. His tenure as executive producer reaches back a quartercentury, when the show was still a local New York telecast, not the nationally syndicated juggernaut it became after being rebranded Live! With Regis & Kathie Lee. Along the way, Philbin bagged the record for most hours spent in front of a TV camera (15,188,

as certified by Guinness World Records back in 2004). But Gelman likely has his own claim to longevity.

“I may be the world record holder for the most hours of live television produced — particularly for one show,” he says. “And if I haven’t broken the record, hopefully I will.”

As he speaks, it’s late morning.

Another hour of Live! is under his belt, and now “the REAL work day begins,” he says with a laugh.

Meetings, bookings, planning, and, yes, thinking about a new co-host — all that will consume him until 7 p.m. or thereabouts, when he heads home to his wife, TV personality Laurie Hibberd, and their two daughters. He had arrived at the office around 7 a.m. for rehearsals and briefings until, at the stroke of 9 a.m., Live! hit the air.

Gelman is a master of multitasking, especially the hour when the show is being broadcast. He stands just out of camera range (where he won unsought celebrity as “Gelman,” the genial foil often

called out by Philbin), while “a million things are going through my mind — what I need to do, what’s coming up later, what could go wrong,” he says. “And at the same time, I’m warming up and prompting the studio audience.”

Some of these duties, he says, have become automatic.

“Sometimes I’ll be at a Broadway show or other live performance,” he confides, “and when people start applauding and I want them to applaud more, I all of sudden do this” — he raises a hand and feathers his fingers imploringly — “before I catch myself. Very embarrassing.”

Gelman has grown up on the job. He began as a freelance production assistant for what was then The Morning Show. Then, when he became executive producer in 1987, he was somewhat of a surrogate son to the middleage Philbin, a TV journeyman on the brink of a career renaissance.

When Philbin left a quarter-century later, Gelman, still the steady steward of the show, was nearly as old as Philbin had been when the show began.

“Over the years, I’ve kind of backed away from behind-thescenes things,” Philbin said last fall as he prepared to leave. “Gelman rings a little gong, and everybody comes and they sit there for HOURS! I don’t know WHAT the HELL they’re TALKING about! But that’s what an executive producer is supposed to do, I guess, and I think he’s done a good job.”

“Because he’s so good at what he does, it goes unrecognized,” Ripa said recently. “He’s very calm, very even, and we move forward. Always. We’re always looking to tomorrow. We do our live show, then we let it go, and then we move on to tomorrow’s show.

And he makes it look easy.”

Gelman is ready to savor continued success for Live! He says he’s signed another long-term deal, “and I plan on being here for a while.

“The show has a life of its own,” he sums up, making it look easy, and knows it’s time to move forward now. Tomorrow’s show requires his attention.

Pop culture Q&A

Thomas was on ‘Night Gallery’ before ‘The Waltons’

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: Who is Barry Weiss on Storage Wars and what is his background?

He seems to know a lot of famous people and has a lot of nice toys.

A: According to his A&E biography, “since the age of 15, Barry has made a name for himself as an antique collector.” He told AOL TV last year that he was also “in the produce business for 20-25 years, and I retired about four years ago. I just was traveling around the world and enjoying life, really. The way this opportunity came along was a close friend of mine, Thom Beers, who is the creator of the show, was over one night. I don’t know, we were having a few drinks.

He said he was working on something with these storage lockers, and would I like to be a part of it? And basically that’s sort of how things unfolded.”

Because he has some famous friends, some viewers have assumed Weiss is a show-biz type. But he told AOL TV that “I did an interview once and I mentioned being in produce, and I think sometimes people just don’t listen and assumed it was producer.”

Q: The first time I remember seeing the actor who played John-Boy on The Waltons was in The Night Gallery or The Twilight Zone. He played the son of a sin eater. When did this air, and which show was it on?

A: One of the stories on the Rod Serling-hosted Night Gallery was a February 1972 installment called “Sins of the Fathers.” It involved a sin eater — someone who ate food around a dead body and so absorbed its sins. Richard Thomas, an experienced young actor, played the sin eater; he had first appeared as John-Boy Walton in the TV-movie The Homecoming in December 1971 and would begin regular series work on The Waltons in September 1972.

You can find “Sins of the Fathers” on DVD in the second-season collection of Night Gallery and online on Hulu. com.

Q: Years ago I watched a tribute to John Wayne on TV and Maureen

Associated Press

A 1975 photo shows the cast of the television series ‘The Waltons,’ including Richard Thomas (top row, center).

O’Hara sang to him. Is a copy of that available anywhere?

A: You are probably remembering ABC’s all-star tribute to Wayne from 1976, with Frank Sinatra hosting.

O’Hara sang “I’ve Grown Accustomed to His Face,” much of it with Wayne standing beside her. Unfortunately, I do not know of an authorized video release of the special. Wayne died in 1979. The splendid O’Hara, 91, is still with us at this writing. (By the way, she and the above-mentioned Richard Thomas worked together in the 1995 TV-movie The Christmas Box.) Q: I want to know if King, the 1978 biography of Martin Luther

King Jr., is available on DVD and where I can locate it.

A: The miniseries, which starred Paul Winfield as the civil-rights icon and Cicely Tyson as his wife, Coretta Scott King, was released on DVD in 2005 and is available through online retailer Amazon.com.
