SPECIAL: Leonard Nimoy’s Passing
Leonard Nimoy passed away 14 months ago. Preparations are going on currently to celebrate that this year is STAR TREK’s 50th anniversary. I wish he could be here. I have been remembering, and I realize I spent almost no time … Continue reading

Epilog

Graduation: Part II
Filmed January 1986 If you haven’t read the previous post (GRADUATION), it might be wise to do so before continuing! Abby Singer just might inadvertently have been the Directors Guild’s most famous assistant director of all time. Why? As an … Continue reading
Graduation
Filmed January 1986 My second and final assignment for THE PAPER CHASE: THE GRADUATION YEAR was not going to be just another episode. It was the film concluding the series that had debuted on CBS in 1978, had been cancelled … Continue reading
