Actors: Holly Hunter gets 2,363rd star

May 30th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

Holly Hunter Walk of Fame Star

Steven Spielberg and Ed Harris unveiled Holly Hunter’s star on the Hollywood ‘Walk of Fame’ today. The star of TV series ‘Saving Grace’ got famous when she won an Oscar for her role in ‘The Piano’ in 1993. I can’t say I remember that one, but in more recent memory she got an Oscar nomination for playing the mother in ‘Thirteen.’

Steven Spielberg, her longtime friend, was there to unveil the tile. He directed Hunter in the 1989 romance ‘Always’ and placed a full-page ad in the Daily Variety saying, “We are so proud of you and your ‘fierce heat of living’.” Care to explain, Steven?

Hollywood puts health into movies

May 29th, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Hollywood Health

Over 500 Hollywood producers and writers will work together with the AARP to bring attention to affordable health care. The announcement comes in conjunction with the ‘Divided We Fail’ campaign. The film industry agreed to include several story lines about the health care message in their movies and TV shows.

[People] are putting their money into day-to-day survival. We started thinking what was really important was to reach out through popular culture. There’s nothing more effective,” AARP president Nancy LeaMond said. And since there are 49 million Americans without health insurance, the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) joined to help the good cause.

The filmmakers, the storytellers, are the ones who are going to make this happen. They know how to entertain and enlighten at the same time,” MPFT chairman and DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said. “Television, like it or not, teaches people. Writers are speaking to millions of people. Any forum that brings these issues to the forefront is both welcome and needed.

It’s good to see it’s not all money in Hollywood.
