"Bob cared as much about the writing as I did." Sony Pictures Classics has debuted a trailer for a doc film titled in full - Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb. This first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and also played at the Hot Springs and Middleburg Film Festival. It's also playing at AFI Fest in Los Angeles this fall before it opens in US theaters at the end of the year. "For 50 years, a unique and lovingly cantankerous professional relationship has existed between the iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Caro and his editor, literary giant Robert Gottlieb. Beginning in the early 1970s with The Power Broker book, Caro's timeless exploration of power and NYC, via the machinations of Robert Moses, they have worked together to produce Caro’s repertoire of exhaustively researched and exquisitely edited works. Now, with Caro in the midst of...

At nearly 1,500 pages, author Robert Caro’s 1974 biography of New York City urban planner Robert Moses “The Power Broker” remains one of the most influential tomes about the city’s infrastructure. Beneath New York’s highways and bridges lie political power-brokering and corruption, a sort of real-life, East Coast “Chinatown” (albeit on dry land) mapped out across an epic tome.
But behind author Caro was also an editor, Robert Gottlieb. Now 91, he has served as editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster, Alfred A. Knopf, and The New Yorker, and is now, along with Caro, the subject of a documentary directed by his daughter, “Turn Every Page.” Lizzie Gottlieb’s film focuses on Gottlieb and Caro’s creative collaboration across nearly half a century, with talking heads including Bill Clinton, Conan O’Brien, Maria Tucci, and many more. The movie opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 30 from Sony Pictures Classics.

For a Robert Caro fan like myself, waiting for the Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s fifth volume in his monumental Lbj biography (which launched in 1982) is a condition best described as managing intense anticipation for the continuation of our greatest living storyteller’s magnum opus, and an ever-sobering grasp of mortality: Caro is 86.
True, we can’t hurry excellence, especially one committed to pencils, a typewriter, and carbon paper. But if people like me are chomping, what must his longtime editor Robert Gottlieb be thinking? He just turned 91!
The book world’s most formidable duo for more than 50 years — since they first teamed on Caro’s reputation-making political biography “The Power Broker” — is the subject of “Turn Every Page,” one of the better documentaries about researching, writing, and reading, directed by Gottlieb’s daughter Lizzie.

In recent years, Roundabout Theatre Company has demonstrated a knack for pairing stellar actresses in revivals by acclaimed playwrights, including Annette Bening in Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” (2019), Jessica Lange in Eugene O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” (2016), and Diane Lane in Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” (2016).
That trend continues this fall with Marisa Tomei’s return to the stage in Tennessee Williams’s early-career play “The Rose Tattoo.” Set in a predominantly Sicilian community in a Gulf Coast town in 1950, the play centers on Tomei’s Serafina Delle Rose, a widowed seamstress who finds lust after her husband’s death with a man who resembles her late spouse.
This production of “Rose Tattoo,” which originated at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2016, officially opened on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre on October 15. Trip Cullman directs the 18-member ensemble.

NBC is billing The Slap as a mini-series so it doesn't seem like there's any danger of the series being cancelled. However, if the ratings are bad enough, they could certainly pull it before all eight episodes have aired. Conversely, if the ratings are really good, they could figure out a way to bring the characters back for a second season. What will happen? Stay tuned.

If you’ve seen any of NBC’s recent promos for its new miniseries The Slap, you may have been tricked into thinking that Zachary Quinto’s Harry is the lone bad guy in a group of do-gooders.
But the show’s premiere episode, which debuted Thursday, paints a much different picture.
Early into the hour, it becomes clear that every character in the ensemble is massively flawed, particularly Hector (The Killing‘s Peter Sarsgaard), from whose perspective the episode is told.

To have him nod, squint his eyes, stare directly at me and offer advice on how to spot the good people in my life, like “Sonny” from A Bronx Tale would have done. Dr. Frank Gregorio (Chazz Palminteri) is an aging psychotherapist with long-standing dreams to become a singer. He’s very successful, has been married for forty years to his beautiful wife Angelina (Maria Tucci), and has two lovely daughters.

Shot in stark, beautiful black & white, director Michael Haneke has fashioned a haunting metaphorical drama that is as coldly chilling as anything made by Ingmar Bergman, and darkly unsettling as anything from the canon of David Lynch.

Back Stage asked some of James Earl Jones' co-stars to share their memories of working with the legendary actor. Their responses -- ranging from words of praise and anecdotes to a genuine original poem -- are presented here, with gratitude to these generous stars in their own rights."Working with James Earl Jones in Of Mice and Men was a master class in acting. He was absolutely brilliant and generous, and I cherish it. He bent over backwards to give me the moments I needed in the scenes we shared. My work in that play is one of the things I'm most proud of. And that's largely because of him." -- Kevin Conway"Working with Jimmy was a total delight. The play, A Lesson From Aloes, was so demanding. We'd go out on a limb together, and no matter what I tried, I knew he'd be there to catch me.
