The NY Times - Barbara Stanwyck

The Infinite Variety of the Lady Stanwyck

In honor of her centennial, the BAMcinématek at the Brooklyn Academy of Music is offering a modest retrospective — it starts Wednesday and runs through May 6 — and what’s striking about the series is that every one of the dozen movies in it depends at least to some degree on the ambiguity of the heroine’s character.

A gumshoe adrift - lost in the 70s

RAYMOND CHANDLER, the creator of the tough-but-honorable Los Angeles private detective Philip Marlowe, once wrote in a letter to a friend: “The private eye is admittedly an exaggeration — a fantasy. But at least he’s an exaggeration of the possible.”

The Divine Miss Julie (Christie)

I grew up loving the beautiful and talented Julie Christie. She has been in some of my favorite films: Doctor Zhivago, Far From the Madding Crowd and Farenheit 451, and shines in many other fine films such as Darling, McCabe and Mrs. Miller and Don't Look Now. More recently she was in the excellent Afterglow, for which she received an Oscar nomination, and she had smaller parts in Finding Neverland, Troy and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. She is now receiving high praise for her portrayal of a woman suffering from Alzheimer's in the independent film, "Away From Her", which has been shown at film festivals and will be released in the US in May. I am very much hoping it comes to my area.

Here is a rare interview with the still talented and still beautiful Ms. Christie.
