from the futon critic:
"THE HELP" - From the creator of "Married... With Children," this outrageous satire centers on idealistic, 22-year-old Maria (Camille Guaty, "What I Like About You," "The Brothers Garcia"), who was on her way to becoming a beautician when a family crisis forced her to take a new path, and she now finds herself employed as the maid for the extremely wealthy Ridgeway family. As one of many servants who dote on the demented and dysfunctional family, Maria discovers there's not only a class struggle between the upstairs and the downstairs, but there's an all out war among "The Help." The diverse cast includes Antonio Sabato, Jr. ("Melrose Place"), Al Santos ("Grosse Pointe"), Brenda Strong ("Everwood"), Mindy Cohn ("The Facts of Life"), Keri Lynn Pratt ("America's Sweethearts") and newcomers Megan Fox, Marika Domincyzek and Graham Murdoch.

02-May-03: David Garrison on stage again...
As posted by Carolyn on alt.tv.mwc:
It's a brand new show by a hot young playwright called "Eight Days (Backwards)" and seems to be yet another idea based on MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, the old 1935 Kaufman play that inspired the Sondheim musical that made him decide to leave in the first place. There's 13 roles and
seven actors so it looks like everybody will get a chance to do a couple of roles.

David Sagal, general counsel for the Warner Bros. film division, and other Sagal family members watched Daniel Sagal for the first time Monday in the black and white 1938 film about everyday life in pre-Revolutionary Russia.

Boris was able to see his brother twice before Daniel Sagal died several months ago in Russia. They had an interpreter guide their conversations.
"We only met him for a short time in his late years," Katey Sagal said.
The festival began last week at the ArcLight Hollywood theaters and continues until Thursday. It includes Russian animated films, movie artwork, photography and film posters. It was organized by the Stas Namin Cultural Center in Russia, the American Film Institute and Seven Arts Productions

"Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to the community. Try volunteering as a family. You'll teach your kids the benefits of giving to others and help them build self-confidence. Helping those that are less fortunate also gives your kids a chance to appreciate the things they have. Now that's what I call quality family time."
