Roy Clark was an ambassador for country music, but his fingers fiddled in many genres.
Roy Clark could make music out of anything with strings. Guitars, banjoes, mandolins and fiddles, which he could play masterpiece classics on in a whim, were easy pickings for him. He made them scream Hee Haw, which was the name of the show he is best known for. The musical pioneer was the first country artist to play at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and one of the first American artists to perform in the Soviet Union.

Roy Clark, the popular country music singer-guitarist who co-hosted the long-running sketch/variety series Hee Haw with Buck Owens, died today of pneumonia complications at his home in Tulsa, Ok. He was 85.
CBS launched Hee Haw in summer 1969 as country music’s answer to Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. Weaving performances by the genre’s top stars with surprise cameos and down-home comedy skits loaded with catchphrases, it lasted three seasons on the network — finishing in the primetime ratings top 20 in each of its first two — before moving to first-run syndication in 1971 — where it aired for 22 more years.
Among the many series regulars over the years were Louis “Grandpa” Jones, Minnie Pearl — she of the $1.98 pricetag hanging from her flowered hat — Barbi Benton, Roy Acuff, Harry Cole and that animated donkey who punctuated the punchlines with the shows titular laugh. Clark’s longtime co-host Owens died in 2006.

Roy Clark, the country music singer and co-host of “Hee Haw,” the country-infused variety show, died on Thursday. He was 85.
Clark died from complications of pneumonia at home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, according to a statement from his publicist.
Though success didn’t come early for him, Clark became one of the first musicians to bring country music to a wider audience. Starting in 1969, he was either a host or co-host — along with Buck Owens and others — of “Heehaw,” which was on the air for 24 years.
As for his solo career, Clark’s hit songs include “Yesterday, When I Was Young,” “Come Live with Me” and “Thank God and Greyhound.”

Well, if anyone was concerned that Gal Gadot was going to find herself typecast as the Amazon Princess Wonder Woman, the actress is being extremely proactive in making sure that doesn't happen. First of all, Gal — who is currently shooting Wonder Woman 1984 — is attached to a Showtime TV series about actress Hedy Lemarr (see below), and now comes word that she is going to be starring in a remake of the Agatha Christie murder mystery Death on the Nile. Originally published in 1937, the novel focuses on detective Hercule Poirot who, on a luxury cruise on the Nile River, uncovers a murder, but finds his job complicated by the fact that a number of his suspects end up dead as well. Gal, 33, will be playing a rich heiress named Linnet Ridgeway Doyle and, as such, is the first cast member signed thus far. (Photo Credit: 20th Century Fox) In speaking...

Gal Gadot has landed the lead role in a new Showtime series that is based on the life and career of a real-life wonder woman, Hedy Lamarr.
Lamarr was born in Austria and went on to become one of the most famous American film stars of her generation, appearing in classics like Samson and Delilah, Boom Town, and Come Live With Me. Lamarr was also a celebrated inventor, credited with creating a frequency-hopping signal during World War II that could help the Allies disrupt radio controlled torpedoes.
The series was created by Sarah Treem, the creator and showrunner of Showtime acclaimed drama The Affair, which is coming to an end. She will write and executive produce the series alongside Gadot.
Thanks to Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot is a big star in Hollywood and it's great to see her take on other projects. After all, she just can't play Wonder Woman the rest of her life.

Above: Italian personality poster for Hedy Lamarr. Art by Sergio Gargiulo.Once promoted as “Hollywood’s No. 1 Glamour Girl,” Hedy Lamar (1914-2000) was much more than a pretty face, as the new documentary Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story gloriously attests. Born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Austria, Lamarr was catapulted to fame as the star of the scandalous 1933 Czech import Ecstasy, in which she appeared nude (and ecstatic). In America she became one of the biggest stars of the 1940s, often called the most beautiful woman in Hollywood, a designation she thought of as a curse. But she was also blessed with a curious and inventive mind. As an amateur inventor she pioneered what is known as “frequency hopping” during World War II to prevent the Nazis jamming Allied torpedoes, a technology which has become the basis of Bluetooth and Wi-fi. With that in mind, it might seem perverse to...

The “Pretty Little Liars” lady discusses her approach to her various social media platforms-
“My Instagram is like an art gallery—no blurry photos. Come to Snapchat and see it all being made. Instagram is the appetizer. Snapchat is the meal.”
Ms. Mitchell also revealed that before she scored on the acting front, she used to work bottle service at night- “I have so much respect for waiters, waitresses, girls who work in clubs. It’s tough. I’d have old guys saying ‘You’re so pretty, why are you working?’ or ‘Come live with me, honey.’ Like, what, so I can be taken care of? That’s the last thing that I want. What I wanted to say was, ‘[I work] so I will never end up with someone like you.’”...

The King Baggot Tribute will take place Friday, November 14th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium beginning at 7pm as part of this year’s St. Louis Intenational FIlm Festival. The program will consist a rare 35mm screening of the 1913 epic Ivanhoe starring King Baggot with live music accompaniment by the Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra. Ivanhoe will be followed by an illustrated lecture on the life and films of King Baggot presented by Tom Stockman, editor here at We Are Movie Geeks. After that will screen the influential silent western Tumbleweeds (1925), considered to be one of King Baggot’s finest achievements as a director. Tumbleweeds will feature live piano accompaniment by Matt Pace.

Pucker up: it's Valentine's Day on Thursday and we'd like your nominations for the best onscreen smooches
This week's Clip joint is by Guardian reader Hannah Farr, who you can follow on Twitter here. If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, drop an email to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
The kiss; it's captivated cinemagoers since 1896 when Edison captured the first kiss on film. While you might divert your eyes from such a clinch in public, watching an onscreen kiss remains a shameless voyeuristic pleasure. So for Valentine's Day, here's five of the best onscreen kisses.
It's a Wonderful Life
I could have filled my entire top five with Jimmy Stewart's various lip-locks (The Philadelphia Story, Vertigo, Come Live with Me, Rear Window.) He was said to be nervous about filming this particular kiss, his first since returning to Hollywood after the war. The resulting embrace...

Little has been written in recent years about Jacques Kapralik, one of the most distinctive artists ever to lend his talent to movie posters, main titles, and promotional work…until now. Many film buffs will recognize his distinctive decoupage caricatures, which were a mainstay of MGM promotions throughout the 1940s (featured in trade ads and the lavish studio publication The Lion’s Roar). They even appeared in the main title sequences of such films as Presenting Lily Mars, Come Live With Me, and Pat and Mike. He was a featured cover artist for the Sunday newspaper supplement Pictorial Review for several years after that, and his work also turned up in a variety of...

Charles Boyer, Hedy Lamarr, Algiers Hedy Lamarr can be seen later this month on Turner Classic Movies: I Take This Woman (1940) will be shown on Saturday, April 28, and The Conspirators (1944) on Monday, April 30. I Take This Woman was a troubled production that took so long to make — W.S. Van Dyke replaced Frank Borzage who had replaced original director Josef von Sternberg — that punsters called it "I Retake This Woman." Spencer Tracy co-stars as a doctor who marries European refugee Lamarr. Jean Negulesco’s The Conspirators has several elements in common with Michael Curtiz’s Casablanca, including an "exotic" World War II setting (in this case, Lisbon), conflicting loyalties, male lead Paul Henreid, and supporting players Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Curiously, at one point Lamarr had been considered for the Casablanca role that eventually went to Ingrid Bergman. Neither I Take This Woman nor The Conspirators did much for Hedy Lamarr’s Hollywood career.

Last week’s post on the 3-dimensional collage designs of Jacques Kapralik caught the attention of Christian Annyas. If you don’t know who Christian is and have never visited his website before you have been missing one of the great curatorial endeavors on the internet.
His Movie Title Stills Collection is an astonishing act of curation, assembling the main title and end cards from thousands of movies from 1902 to 2011. The cards are arranged chronologically and there are glorious subsections for Film Noir and Westerns. And Annyas has not only found and collected all of these, he also presents them on one of the most elegant and user friendly websites I’ve ever seen (he is a brilliant web designer as well as a devoted cinephile—he makes it a rule only to include films he’s actually seen, and he’s seen plenty). He also writes blog posts on...
