Ballroom construction crews have begun construction of the second floor corridor on the east side of the White House. The administration has hinted that to balance out the look of the White House, a second floor might also be added to the West Wing.
Few movie musical moments capture pure youthful exhilaration better than the iconic "Fame" street sequence from Fame (1980).
As Bruno's father (the wonderful Eddie Barth) proudly blasts the music from his taxi, the students spill into the streets of New York, dancing on the sidewalks and even atop yellow cabs in an explosion of joy, freedom and optimism. This is what I call a supportive father!
During the three-day shoot, the song "Fame" hadn't even been written yet. The cast actually danced to Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff", chosen because its beat closely matched the tempo the filmmakers envisioned for the eventual song.
Even more remarkable, the legendary Bob Fosse visited the set while Sir Alan Parker was filming this enormously complex sequence. That evening, over dinner, Fosse commiserated with Parker about just how exhausting it had been to choreograph and capture what would become one of cinema's most unforgettable dance numbers.

"I'm your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over." It might be the most devastating line in The Godfather Part II. Fredo isn't defending the betrayal there. He's showing where it came from.
Fredo has always been the weak Corleone. Sonny had the temper, Michael the calculation, Tom the ledgers. Fredo got nightclubs, errands, a car to drive β work you could hand him without risk. He was managed, not trusted. So when he says "I'm smart," his voice cracks, because he already knows nobody in that room is buying it.
That's what makes Cazale hard to watch. Fredo aims for anger and lands on fear. He straightens up and the chair swallows him anyway. Every gesture meant to make him bigger takes something off him.
Michael doesn't rage back. Rage would have been warmer. He lets Fredo finish, and the second Fredo says something useful he stops being a brother and becomes a source β Michael goes straight to the investigation. Not the lake. Not the gunshot. This is where it ends.
Fredo is asking to finally be seen. Michael stopped looking a long time ago.
Which is why "You're nothing to me now" doesn't need volume. It isn't shouted. It isn't theatrical. It's a sentence, in the legal sense of the word.
Fredo betrayed his brother to be treated like somebody. That's what made him nobody.
βDamn I Wish I Was Your Loverβ was the theme song of Dylan & Kellyβs summer love affair and it makes me sad that it was replaced with generic music on the DVD & streaming.
This is the REAL scene:
They knew about Corinthian columns when they built the WH. They chose the simpler Doric on purpose, because the WH is not supposed to be an ornate, gilded palace of a mad king.
Very interesting. Both had to self submit after doing great work. Both are daytime Emmy winners.
Jeff story on how he got cast in the article is a true test of his decades in the business.
