Fame Calendar April 2022

 

Loretta Chandler on "To Tilt At Windmills" Trivia of the Week

"In this episode, the writers have Dusty try out for the Lead. I'm still in awe about how accurately they portrayed the feelings I, the actress was experiencing, but then again, that was the beauty of "FAME"."

"The writers and producers deal a harsh blow to Dusty. Just before we shot this scene, the writer/director, Donald Reiker pulled me aside and made me open up to all the fear and doubt that I (the actress) had been struggling with since I joined the cast... then we rolled tape."

"I had an opportunity to do a scene with Kevin McCarthy. Before we shot the scene I asked him if we could run lines. He felt it would be better to just do it fresh on camera. He was right. In the scene, he made me (the actress) feel worthy and special. I pray we all have someone like that in our lives. I do.. and they know who they are. Thank you!!!"

Lee Curreri Talks about Be My Music.

 



Two a.m.
Eyes open,
Ticking clocks,
Falling rain.


Thoughts of you,
Dancing through,
My mind.
I can hear your voice
If only I could.

Be your music,
You'll be my music.
With every song we sing,
Love will flow between us.
Be my music,
We'll write the music
Together,
Forever more.

I'm playing with a
Simple phase.
"I love you".
Not so simple,
When it's true.
What is this?
Helplessness,
I feel,
When you smile at me.
Won't you let me.

Be your music
You'll be my music
With every song we sing
Love will flow between us
Be my music
We'll write the music
Together
Forever.

I'll be your rainy weather friend.
Your nightlight,
Your sunshine 'round the bend,
Your stars.

Be your music
You'll be my music
With every song we sing
Love will flow between us
Be my music
We'll write the music
Together
Forever 

Your Rainy Weather Friend."
