Before TV movies were dissed with the phrase ‘disease of the month,’ this 1973 film surprised and moved audiences with the realistic story of a young mother facing a fatal illness. It’s directed by the great Joseph Sargent and graced with the music of John Denver, but its impact rests upon the remarkable, affecting performance of actress Cristina Raines, then just twenty years old.

Robert Altman’s first opportunity to cut loose with an entirely personal film is this scattershot comedy that satirizes the American scene, taking pokes at patriotism, greed, and silly police movies. To his favorite eccentrics from M*As*H Bud Cort and Sally Kellerman he adds the new discovery Shelley Duvall; the movie’s like a bag of absurdist jokes that spilled onto a Houston Highway.

(Elliott Gould, above, as Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye.)

Editor’s note: this article originally appeared at EightMillionStories.com on November 14, 2008.
With the back-to-back success of his Oscar-nominated role in the off-beat wife-swapping hit Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) and the even bigger off-beat hit Mash (1970), Brooklyn’s own Elliott Gould skyrocketed to worldwide fame.
While perhaps best known to those under 40 as Ross and Monica’s dad on “Friends,” or Vegas financier Reuben Tishkoff in the blockbuster Ocean’s 11 series, cine-scholars generally regard Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye (1973) as Gould’s most iconic starring role. 2008 marks the 35th anniversary of their extraordinary modern-day reinterpretation of Raymond Chandler’s classic private eye, Philip Marlowe.
Elliott Gould invited me to his home in west Los Angeles, where he generously spoke at length of his three major collaborations with Altman, who passed away two years ago.

Like their counterparts nationwide, the ethnically specific theatres of the San Francisco Bay Area are trying to ride out the economic downturn. But such theatres also face special challenges: to stage work that "serves as a bridge to other cultures," as Traveling Jewish Theatre artistic director Aaron Davidman puts it; to find enough actors of the appropriate ethnicity; and to cultivate diverse audiences. While more-mainstream theatres may grapple with the same issues, for companies dedicated to exploring a particular culture and working largely with artists from that culture, they're ever-present. The culturally and aesthetically diverse Bay Area theatre scene is also well-known for its spirit of cooperation -- fostered in large part by the local service organization Theatre Bay Area -- and some theatres co-produce with other companies regularly, sharing costs, talent, and audiences. The area's growing number of ethnic theatres ranges from midsize companies that produce a full season...

Just as every actor has pre-acting rituals and every director has a rehearsal trick or two, every acting teacher seems to have an unusual technique, exercise, or theory -- some weirder than others. For example, I once had a teacher (who’ll go unnamed, God rest his soul) who was famous for an exercise he called "body taboo defiance," a fancy term for presenting a scene or monologue in your birthday suit. As I recall, the idea was to fully access your vulnerability and be in the moment -- and when I obediently participated, boy, was I in the moment. But more than 70 years after Stanislavsky died, are there any comprehensive approaches to acting that can truly be called new and different? One longtime actor told me indignantly, "There is nothing but Stanislavsky," and I replied, "You'd be surprised." I was thinking of how Anne Bogart took choreographer Mary Overlie's...
