• Desi Arnaz Desi Arnaz

  • From: GeniusInMotion
  • Description:

    

     

    Desi Arnaz (1917-1986) is best known for the popular 1950s television show "I Love Lucy", a situation comedy that he helped create along with his wife Lucille Ball, to whom he was married from 1940 to 1960. Arnaz played "Ricky Ricardo," a struggling Cuban-born bandleader whose high-spirited wife Lucy (played by Ball) was forever engaged in some sort of comedic mischief. Behind the scenes, Arnaz was known as a savvy businessman and producer and a trailblazer in the early years of television.

    
    

    Although network executives were at first reluctant to cast the heavily accented Arnaz alongside an all-American redhead like Lucy, Arnaz and Ball agreed to contribute $39,000 from their salaries toward production costs of I Love Lucy to ensure that the series would be launched. The comedy quickly emerged as one of the most popular shows of the decade. As Scholastic Update noted in 1988, Arnaz's role on the show helped Americans to "accept Hispanic immigrants not just as exotic outsiders, but as Hispanic-Americans."

    Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y De Acha was born on March 2, 1917 in Santiago, Cuba. His father Desiderio was mayor of Santiago and a wealthy property owner whose holdings included a cattle ranch, two dairy farms, and a villa on a small island in Santiago Bay. Desi's mother, the former Dolores de Acha, was the daughter of one of the founders of the Bacardi rum company. As a teenager, Arnaz was expected to attend college before embarking on a career in law and politics.

    However, political unrest in Cuba dramatically changed the direction of Arnaz's life. In August 1933, the Arnaz home in Santiago was burned and ransacked. While Arnaz and his mother managed to escape to safety, his father, a newly elected congressman, was put in prison. While there, he was advised by the new chief of state, Fulgencio Batista, that he would be freed if he left the country. Promising to send for his wife (whom he'd later divorce) and son, Arnaz's father set out for Miami.

    In June 1934, the 17-year-old Desi arrived in America and was greeted by his father, who had established an import-export company with two other refugees in Miami. To save money, father and son lived in the company warehouse and ate cans of pork-and-beans. They used baseball bats to ward off the rats that scurried through the building. After school, young Arnaz worked cleaning bird cages for a man who sold canaries on consignment in area drug stores.

    During this time, Arnaz was recommended to a band-leader by a girlfriend's grandfather. Armed with a used guitar purchased for $5 from a pawnshop and a facility with the instrument - he'd used it often in Cuba to serenade the opposite sex - Arnaz persuaded his father to let him take this new $39-a-week job at the Roney Plaza Hotel. Xavier Cugat, the "king" of Latin dance music soon discovered the young musician. Upon graduating from high school and serving a stint in the Cugat orchestra, Arnaz debuted his own band in Miami Beach in December 1937.

    The Desi Arnaz Orchestra won favorable reviews in New York and Miami. Collaborators, Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers, asked the young orchestra leader to audition for their upcoming Broadway musical Too Many Girls. Arnaz landed the part of the Latin American exchange student. Soon the 23-year-old was on his way to Hollywood to appear in the film version of the musical, starring 28-year-old studio actress, Lucille Ball.

    "Lucy and Desi's first scene together in the movie Too Many Girls required him to take one glance at her and swoon dead away in ecstasy," commented Warren G. Harris in Lucy & Desi. "It didn't take much acting skill; by then, they were already in love in real life." The relationship was passionate and tumultuous from the start, punctuated by clashes of temper and jealousy. Many of the disagreements centered on Arnaz's flirtatious nature. Still, they came to care deeply for one another. Arnaz called her "Lucy" even though she had long called herself "Lucille." "I didn't like the name Lucille," Arnaz recalled in his autobiography. "That name had been used by other men. 'Lucy' was mine alone."

    On November 30, 1940, Ball and Arnaz were married in Connecticut and upon returning to California, the couple settled into a five-acre ranch in Chatsworth, just outside of Los Angeles. Mindful of the practice of naming their residence after themselves as actors Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford had done, the couple decided on Desilu after eliminating such other possibilities as Arnaball, Ballarnaz, and Ludesi.  In May 1943, Arnaz received his draft notice to serve in World War II. Because of an injury, however, he saw only non-combat duty at Birmingham Hospital, 15 minutes away from Desilu.

    Arnaz' officially shortened his name during his stint in the service (from Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha to Desi Arnaz). When his military service concluded, he returned to Hollywood, only to find his opportunities limited by his heavy accent. Despite critical acclaim for his performance in the movie Batman and gossip columnist Louella Parson's prediction that he'd be the next Rudolph Valentino, Arnaz found it difficult to secure significant parts. The new 22-piece Arnaz Orchestra, though, was getting favorable reviews, and Arnaz eventually landed a role in the movie Cuban Pete, in which he was touted as "The Rhumba-Rhythm King."

    In 1948, Arnaz and Ball formed Desilu Productions to coordinate their various stage, screen, and radio activities. A year later, Arnaz asked Ball to marry him again - this time in an official Catholic ceremony. The ceremony was later played out again, albeit in a more fanciful manner, in an episode of I Love Lucy.

    By 1950, Arnaz and Ball had both established themselves in the medium of radio. Arnaz first served as the bandleader for Bob Hope's radio show, then as host of the musical quiz show Your Tropical Trip; Ball portrayed the scatterbrained housewife on the radio serial My Favorite Husband. When the CBS television network decided to turn My Favorite Husband into a TV series, Ball insisted that Arnaz be cast as her husband. As the show's producer as well as its leading man, Arnaz helped bring movie-quality techniques to live television and negotiated a deal whereby Desilu retained full ownership of the show.

     

    The I Love Lucy show premiered on October 15, 1951. The principal characters were Ricky Ricardo, a struggling Latin bandleader who would burst into Spanish whenever he got particularly exasperated, and his wife Lucy, a wacky housewife with showbiz aspirations but no real talent. Before long, I Love Lucy was a smash hit, televised around the world. "Rather than repelling audiences as CBS had feared," wrote Harris, "Desi's flamboyant Cuban-ness apparently had the opposite effect of attracting viewers." Casting Arnaz as a TV husband was "a case of awkwardness being recognized as an asset," observed a critic for the New York Times. The show won Emmy awards in 1952 and 1953 for best situation comedy.  More Americans watched the January 13, 1953, episode featuring the birth of "Little Ricky" than tuned in to the inauguration of President Eisenhower, according to the New York Times. Lucille Ball gave birth to Desi Jr., the very same day.

    Under Arnaz's direction, Desilu Productions became a media giant. In 1955 I Love Lucy began re-broadcasting earlier episodes - the first reruns ever shown of a current prime-time show - because so many viewers with brand-new televisions had missed the show's early years. As the New York Times observed, "The appeal of reusable filmed programs led eventually to a seismic shift in television production from New York to Hollywood, and made the program's creators millionaires."  In addition to I Love Lucy, Desilu produced such hits as Our Miss Brooks, The Untouchables, and The Danny Thomas Show. Arnaz and Ball also appeared together in movies such as The Long, Long Trailer and Forever, Darling. In 1957, Desilu bought RKO Studios, where he and Ball had met in 1940. By the mid-195Os Desilu was an empire that grossed about $15 million annually and employed 800 people.

• Wong Liu Tsong: China Doll Ann Wong Liu Tsong: China Doll Anna May Wong

  • From: GeniusInMotion
  • Description:

     

    Anna May Wong was the first Chinese American movie star, and the first Asian American to become an international star. Her long and varied career spanned both silent and sound film, television, stage, and radio.

    She was born on January 3^rd, 1905 near the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles to second-generation Chinese-American parents. Wong became infatuated with the movies and began acting in films at an early age.

    In 1921, Wong received her first screen credit for Bits of Life, the first anthology film, in which she played the wife of Lon Chaney's character, Toy Ling, in a segment entitled "Hop". She later recalled it fondly as the only time she played the role of a mother; her appearance earned her a cover photo in the British magazine Picture Show.

    At the age of 17 she played her first leading role, in the early Metro two-strip Technicolor movie The Toll of the Sea (1922). Written by Frances Marion, the story was based loosely on Madama Butterfly. Variety magazine singled Wong out for praise, noting her "extraordinarily fine" acting. The New York Times commented, "Miss Wong stirs in the spectator all the sympathy her part calls for, and she never repels one by an excess of theatrical 'feeling'. She has a difficult role, a role that is botched nine times out of ten, but hers is the tenth performance. Completely unconscious of the camera, with a fine sense of proportion and remarkable pantomimic accuracy ... She should be seen again and often on the screen."

    Despite such reviews, Hollywood proved reluctant to create starring roles for Wong; her ethnicity prevented U.S. filmmakers from seeing her as a leading lady. David Schwartz, the chief curator of the Museum of the Moving Image, notes, "She built up a level of stardom in Hollywood, but Hollywood didn’t know what to do with her." She spent the next few years in supporting roles providing "exotic atmosphere",[30] for instance playing a concubine in Tod Browning's Drifting (1923). During the silent film era, she acted in one of the first movies made in color and Douglas Fairbanks' The Thief of Bagdad (1924). Wong became a fashion icon, and by 1924 had achieved international stardom.

    Yet, frustrated by the stereotypical supporting roles she reluctantly played in Hollywood, she left for Europe in the late 1920s, where she starred in several notable plays and films. Wong made her last silent film, Piccadilly, in 1929, the first of five English films in which she had a starring role. The film caused a sensation in the UK. Gilda Gray was the top-billed actress, but Variety commented that Wong "outshines the star," and that "from the moment Miss Wong dances in the kitchen's rear, she steals 'Piccadilly' from Miss Gray." Though the film presented Wong in her most sensual role in a British film, once again she was not permitted to kiss her Caucasian love interest, and a controversial planned scene involving a kiss was cut before the film was released. Forgotten for decades after its release, Piccadilly was later restored by the British Film Institute. Time magazine's Richard Corliss calls Piccadilly Wong's best film, and The Guardian reports that the rediscovery of this film and Wong's performance in it has been responsible for a restoration of the actress' reputation.

    She spent the first half of the 1930s traveling between the United States and Europe for film and stage work. Wong was featured in films of the early sound era, such as Daughter of the Dragon (1931) and Daughter of Shanghai (1937), and with Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg's Shanghai Express (1932).

    In 1935 Wong was dealt the most severe disappointment of her career, when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer refused to consider her for the leading role in its film version of Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth, choosing instead the European Luise Rainer to play the leading role in "yellowface". Wong spent the next year touring China, visiting her family's ancestral village and studying Chinese culture. In the late 1930s, she starred in several B movies for Paramount Pictures, portraying Chinese-Americans in a positive light. She paid less attention to her film career during World War II, when she devoted her time and money to helping the Chinese cause against Japan. Wong returned to the public eye in the 1950s in several television appearances as well as her own series in 1951, The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, the first U.S. television show starring an Asian-American.

    For her contribution to the film industry, Anna May Wong received a star at 1708 Vine Street on the inauguration of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. She is also depicted larger-than-life as one of the four supporting pillars of the "Gateway to Hollywood" sculpture located on the southeast corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

    In 1960, Wong returned to film in Portrait in Black, starring Lana Turner. She still found herself stereotyped, with one press release explaining her long absence from films with a supposed proverb, which was claimed to have been passed down to Wong by her father: "Don't be photographed too much or you'll lose your soul", a quote that would be inserted into many of her obituaries.

    She was scheduled to play the role of Madame Liang in the film production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song, but was unable to take the role due to failing health. On February 2, 1961, at the age of 56, Wong died of a heart attack at home in Santa Monica, two days after her final screen performance on the television show Danger Man. Her cremated remains were interred in her mother's grave at Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles, frequently reported to be only marked by her mother's name on the tombstone. In 2008, a fan campaign started to raise funds to create and purchase a headstone for Wong. However, in their research they found that Wong's headstone was indeed marked with her Chinese name, something several biographers had overlooked.

• The Princess of Mexico: Dolore The Princess of Mexico: Dolores del Rio

  • From: GeniusInMotion
  • Description:

    

                                                         Dolores del Río (August 3, 1905 – April 11, 1983) was a Mexican film actress who was a star of Hollywood films who blossomed during the silent era and in the Golden Age of Hollywood. She was generally thought to be one of the most beautiful actresses of her era and was the first Latin American movie star to have international appeal. With the arrival of the talkies she was considered one of the principal Art-Decó symbols of beauty.  With the surname of her husband, del Río made her film debut in Joanna, directed by Carewe in 1925. Hollywood first noticed her appeal as a sex siren, but she struggled against the "Mexicali Rose.” In her second film High Steppers, Del Rio took the second female credit after Mary Astor. These films were not blockbusters, but helped increase del Río's popularity.

    In late 1926, director Raoul Walsh called del Río to give her a role in What Price Glory. With the character of Charmaine, del Río achieved her desired success. Later, she was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1926 (along with fellow newcomers Joan Crawford, Fay Wray, Janet Gaynor, and Mary Astor). She came to be admired as one of the most beautiful women on screen. After she gained fame, Carewe produced Resurrection, which was a box office hit.

    In 1927, Raoul Walsh called del Río for the second version of Carmen. The first was with Theda Bara in 1917, but Walsh thought del Río it best interpret of all the "Hollywood's Carmen" for his authentic Latin origin: "The Miss Del Río interpretation of Carmen does seem like all the others very conservative". In 1928, Dolores replaces the actress Renée Adorée in the MGM's film The Trail of '98, directed by Clarence Brown. Her career flourished until the end of the silent era, with successful films such as Ramona (1928, for which she recorded the famous song Ramona with the RCA Victor), and Evangeline (1929). With the arrival of the talkies, del Río left her working relationship with Carewe, who made several charges against her. The Carewe's revenge was filming a new version of Resurrection with the alleged Dolores rival Lupe Vélez. With the support of United Artists, she managed to escape Carewe and debuted in the talkies with The Bad One in 1930.

    With the advent of talkies, she was relegated to exotic and unimportant roles. The Hollywood executives sought "do not talk too much at her movies", because of her Latin accent. She scored successes with Bird of Paradise (1932, directed by King Vidor. The film was produced by David O. Selznick that request the script to King Vidor and say: "I want Del Rio in a love story in the South Seas. I don't care the script, but in the end, Del Rio should be thrown into a volcano". The film scandalized audiences when she took a naked swim with Joel McCrea. This film was made before the Hays Code was enacted so nudity could be shown. Next she filmed Flying Down to Rio (the film that launched the careers of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) (1933); Madame DuBarry (1934) and Wonder Bar (1934).

    Later, del Rio starred in the Busby Berkeley comedies In Caliente (1935) and I Live for Love (1935). In 1934, she refuses to participate in the film Viva Villa! (Fay Wray took her place). Dolores accused the film as a "Anti-Mexican movie".   In the late thirties, del Río's career declined. With the support of Warner Bros. she made a series of police films (such as Lancer Spy in 1937 and International Settlement in 1938). But del Río's career in the later 1930s unfortunately suffered from too many exotic, two-dimensional roles designed with Hollywood's cliched ideas of ethnic minorities in mind. She was marked as "box office poison" by exhibitors, along with actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Joan Crawford.

    Since the late thirties, Dolores del Río was sought on several occasions by Mexican film directors. She was friends with noted Mexican artists, such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and maintained ties with Mexican society and cinema. After breaking off her relationship with Orson Welles, del Río decided to try her luck in Mexico, disappointed by the "American star system". Mexican director Emilio Fernández asked her to star in Flor Silvestre (1942) and the miracle happened: at 37, Dolores del Río became the most famous movie star in her country, filming in the Spanish language for the first time. The production group del Río-Fernandez, together with the cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa and the actor Pedro Armendariz had international fame. One of her most successful films was Maria Candelaria (1943, winner at the Cannes Film Festival). The movie was written by Emilio as a present for her birthday. Other celebrated movies of the group were Las Abandonadas (1944, censored in México by six months),[12] Bugambilia (1945), The Fugitive (1947, directed by John Ford), and La Malquerida (1949).

    Over her collaborations with Fernández, del Río was given the opportunity to work with the best film directors in Mexico. Roberto Gavaldon was the one who inherited from Fernández the privilege of creating stories for the flaunting of Del Rio. Under the Gavaldón direction, Dolores filmed the movies La Otra (1946), La Casa Chica (1949), Deseada (1950) and El Niño y la Niebla, (1953,which competes in the Cannes Film Festival). In 1951, Dolores starred Doña Perfecta, in which she was acclaimed for her great dramatic representation.

    Dolores worked in Argentina in 1947, in a film version of Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan. The Cinema of Spain called her twice for the movies Señora Ama (1954, directed by Dolores's cousin Julio Bracho) and in La Dama del Alba in 1966. Her mother's death in 1961 forced to cancel the Spanish movie Muerte en el otoño, directed by Juan Antonio Bardem.  In 1959, the director Ismael Rodriguez achieved the impossible: bring Dolores del Río and María Félix together in one film La Cucaracha.

    Despite the passage of years, Dolores del Río continued until the end to present an image of an educated lady, elegant and sophisticated, that despite her age still remained pleasant and desirable in the eyes of the public. In 1978, Kevin Thomas of Los Angeles Times mentions her as "One of the reigning beauties of the century".

    As Genius IN Motion continues in celebration of Latino Heritage Month this week we move to the best Latin American movies. Now we have our favorites but we want to hear what are some of your.  If it didn't make our list let us know!

    

     

    FRIDA

    A very personal project for Salma Hayek who, apart from playing the iconic Mexican painter, produced the film. Her efforts were rewarded with a well-deserved nod for a Best Actress Oscar. The cast included lots of stars: Alfred Molina, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Geoffrey Rush and her then-partner, Edward Norton.

     

    Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN

    Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal and Spanish star Maribel Verdú go on a road trip, headed for a beautiful Mexican beach, but along the way they reveal lots of hidden secrets - and a lot of themselves, as well.

     

    VOLVER

    Penélope Cruz became the first Spanish actress to receive a Best Actress Oscar nod for this 2006 Pedro Almodóvar film, narrating the story of three generations of women, including the "ghost" of the mother.

     

    SEX AND LUCIA

    This controversial Spanish film, by Julio Medem, follows a sexy waitress recalling past loves. It made Paz Vega an international star, and she won the Goya (the Spanish Oscar) for Best Female Breakthrough Performance.

     

    REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES

    In 2002, this movie won the Audience Award at the Sundance film festival, as well as recognitions to its leads,  America Ferrera and Lupe Ontiveros.  The star of 'Ugly Betty' played Ana, a Mexican-American teenager from East L.A. who excels at a Beverly Hills High and who dreams on pursuing a college education.

     

    SELENA

    Jennifer Lopez became a star in 1997 after portraying Selena Quintanilla, the queen of Tex-Mex, who was murdered at 23 by the president of her fan club. The movie grossed over 120 million worldwide.

     

    PAN'S LABYRINTH

    Guillermo del Toro has been astonishing audiences since his first film, 'Cronos'; but it was this heartbreaking film that got a nod for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. In a time of death and war, a little girl mixes reality with a fantasy-filled world, where a mythical creature sends her on assignments in order to become a princess.

     

    AMORES PERROS

    Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu began his trilogy on accidents with this film about the cruelty of the human being, inside a dark, violent Mexico City. Scored by Oscar winning musician Gustavo Santaolalla, it was nominated for an Oscar as Best Foreign Language Film.

     

    THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE

    In 2001, Guillermo del Toro released his third motion picture after 'Cronos' and 'Mimic', narrating the story of an orphanage during the Spanish Civil War, filled with hopeless kids and repressed guardians, and the ghost -and bomb- that impact their lives. It's eerie, unnerving and truly exceptional.

     

    MARIA, FULL OF GRACE

    Another controversial story based on real life events, about a Colombian girl who swallows 60 cocaine-filled pills in order to bring them into the United States. Unsettling and at times disturbing, it earned its star, Catalina Sandino Moreno, a well-deserved Best Actress Academy Award nomination.

     

    THE CRIME OF FATHER AMARO

    Gael has starred in several classic -and controversial- films. When this 2002 movie came out, the Mexican church complained about its story, involving a young priest lusting after a girl (Ana Claudia Talancón, from 'One Missed Call').

     

    THE SEA INSIDE

    After making it big with 'Thesis' and 'The Others', Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar won the Oscar and the Golden Globe, among many other awards, for this 2004 film about the true story of Ramón Sampedro (a magnificent Javier Bardem) who, after 28 years paralyzed, wants to die with dignity.

    THE ORPHANAGE

    Produced by Guillermo del Toro, directed by J.A. Bayona and starring 'The Sea Inside's Belén Rueda, this 2007 Spanish film was an international box office smash. Not only it is terrifying but also heartbreaking, as we follow a desperate mother seeking her missing child in a haunted orphanage.

     

    LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE

    Many people acknowledged that Mexican cinema started another era of notoriety after this 1992 film. Based on the best selling book by Laura Esquivel and directed by Alfonso Arau, we follow sensitive Tita, who's only capable of expressing her feelings and passion throughout her cooking.

     

    UNDER THE SAME MOON

    This Mexican movie broke box office records during its theatrical run in early 2008. It follows a young boy (Adrián Alonso), on a frantic search for his illegal immigrant mother (Kate del Castillo) in the United States. It features comedian Eugenio Derbez, America Ferrera in a small cameo and Regional sensation Los Tigres del Norte.

     

    CITY OF GOD

    A Brazilian film released in 2002 that narrates the cruel and savage reality of poor people living in the typical 'favelas' of Rio de Janeiro. It received 4 Academy Award nominations, including a nod for its director, Fernando Meirelles, who later on filmed 'The Constant Gardener' and 'Blindness'.

     

    ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER

    It's almost impossible to choose only one Pedro Almodóvar film, but we couldn't ignore this touching film that has everything we adore of the Spanish director: a wicked sense of humor, 'scandalous' topics mixed with sex and tragedy and renowned Spanish actresses battling it out onscreen: Penélope Cruz, Cecilia Roth and Marisa Céspedes.

     

    A DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN

    A satirical look by director Sergio Arau asking what would happen in California if, overnight, all the Latinos disappeared. It speaks of several stereotypes, including the notion that all Spanish speaking people are referred to as Mexicans or that Latinos only have maid or gardener jobs, to name just a couple.

     

    BEFORE NIGHT FALLS

    Javier Bardem is magnificent in the film adaptation of the memoirs of Cuban poet and writer Reinaldo Arenas, which got him his first Oscar nomination. And how could we not write about Johnny Depp showing up in drag!

• "Hawthorne" Knows Drama! "Hawthorne" Knows Drama!

  • From: GeniusInMotion
  • Description:

     

    
    

    The phone rings, a nurse rushes to the hospital, avoids security and with ease helps an elderly patient, she then rushes to prevent a friend and fatally ill cancer patient from jumping off the roof to no avail.  Then soon after she’s arrested against her will… and this is only the beginning!

    TNT ventures into the world of nursing with its new TNT drama “Hawthorne”, starring actress Jada Pinkett Smith as nurse Christina Hawthorne, a chief nursing officer at Richmond Trinity Hospital.  The adrenaline-packed show is like  most hospital dramas: ripe with intense and life-threatening scenes where Hawthorne and the hospital’s team of nurses and doctors  are frantically working to save lives.   Yet unlike most of “Hawthorne’s” predecessors, the stories are told through the nurses’ point of view.   Rarely has the viewer really get’s to get an up-close and personal look into the challenges and decisions that hospitals are faced with daily from the nurses perspective.   Smith’ s intense and hard-hitting portrayal of Hawthorne sends the viewer on a riveting and gratifying journey.  Even with it’s face pace, quick wit and in-your-face dialogue, the viewer is still able to make and emotional connection and become truly invested.   In the pilot episode, Hawthorne is forced to take on the hospital administration to defend one of her nurses after he nearly kills a patient.  The nurse (actor David Julian Hirsh) however was merely following the doctor’s orders that were subsequently based on the doctor’s incorrect diagnosis.    

    Hawthorne, not only faces a myriad of challenges at work she’s reeling from the death of her husband who recently succumb to cancer.   The pilot episode opens up during the first anniversary of his death.   Hawthorne is often seen talking to her husband’s urn which she carries with her though the house.   However, she is soon reluctantly forced to relinquish the urn to her mother-in-law (actress Joanna Cassidy), who also happens to sit on the hospital’s board.  Hawthorne’s mother-in-law blames Hawthorne for her husband’s death.  The trials that she face are even more intensified as she  struggles to balance career and family life by single-handedly raising her rebellious, strong-willed, yet smart teenage daughter.   The show seems to have taken off right out the gate and it’s high-energy and face pace will certainly give it the momentum it needs to not only survive but thrive.

    “Hawthorne” is penned by veteran writer John Masius, writer and producer of the Emmy winning series St. Elsewhere, L.A. Law, Showtime’s Dead Like Me and Providence among others.   TNT is known for producing well-crafted dramas with strong and intelligent female leads and Hawthorne is definitely no exception.

     “Hawthorne” has set a very significant television milestone—it is the second television series featuring an African-American female lead. The first being Dianne Carrol’s show “Julia” from the late 1960’s.  It is a great stride for women of color, and for the television viewing community to have a strong positive female portrayal on the small screen.  As the small screen continues to embrace more diversity, hopefully more cable and mainstream network outlets will embrace diverse, as opposed to stereotypical or cliché, stories of strong women and people of color who are cast in the lead roles.

     “Hawthorne” airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on TNT.
