Vol. 2 No. 1 What’s Up and Upcoming from Nancy Cartwright CASTING CORNER Part of the fun of acting is being submitted for all kinds of different roles. Check out some of my more recent auditions. Picture me as: • The role of Yolanda, the daugh- ter of an old woman who is seri- ously ill (ER, casting director: John Levey) • A strip club owner (Married... With Children, casting director: Stacy Wise) • One of a quartet of complaining neighbors (Everybody Loves Raymond, casting director: Lisa Miller) • Sister Maureen, a feminist in a nun’s habit (Nothing Sacred – 1 hr. pilot; casting director: Judith Holstra) • Amanda Nelligan, a new mother who claims the baby’s father is from another planet (X-Files, casting director: Rick Milliken) • The role of an androgynous per- son who enlightens Paul about pregnancy and bodies ( Mad About You, casting director: Bonnie Zane) • Alice, an uptight, officious tech- nical engineer (Dilbert – 1/2 hour pilot; casting director: Su- san Bluestein) • The role of Louella Parsons (Cat’s Meow – staged play-reading; writer-director: Steven Peros) This year has started off with a BANG! It feels so good to take the time to once again deliver all the “news worthy of printing.” This marks the first issue of year #2 of The Nancy News. My circulation has in- creased from 1,300 to 2,100. My goal is to deliver interesting and in- sightful articles that keep those inter- ested in knowing “what’s up and up- coming” and even more, I love hear- ing from each and every one of you! Keep them cards and letters comin’! Right smack dab at the top of my list is letting you know about the cur- rent status of “In Search of Fellini.” My writing partner, Peter Kjenaas, and I had collaborated on my one- woman play and while we were at- tending the recent Sundance Film Festival, we got inspired to write the screenplay version. I’m happy to tell you we’ve just finished the script and are now “In Search of a Producer.” I must say, this is such an incredible journey! I will keep you updated as the project progresses. I love what is happening in the film industry. I love that indepen- dent films are in the forefront of filmmaking and the studios are tak- ing notice. My goal as a filmmaker is to make films of the highest possible quality and integrity that communi- cate messages that enhance, en- lighten and entertain. We have the power to make a difference in the quality of life around us. It is not up to the politicians or the religious leaders. It is the artist who, through his art, his work, his creation, his ability to communicate that which is true to us all, will impinge his mes- sage on those interested in listening. I am ever thankful that I am sur- rounded by many artists. We are helping to make a new civilization. My hat is off to you. For the nonce, I was recently cast as Louella Parsons in a reading of the play, Cat’s Meow by Steven Peros. It is a dramatization of the incident that occurred aboard William Randolph Hearst’s yacht, The Oneida. Aboard were other well-known celebrities of the ’30s and ‘40s, including Charlie Chaplin and Marion Davies. There is already a green light on the Los Angeles world premiere of the stage pro- duction for this fall produced by Rialto En- tertainment. I can hardly wait to dig my claws into this juicy role! Louella really knew how to speak her mind… and that is right up my alley! For The Artist… LOUELLA PARSONS LIVES! “To bring to an audience the revelation of the failings and aspirations, the dreams and desires, the negative and the positive aspects of human beings--this is what we should set as our goal as committed theater artists.
