Corrie recast Bethany after 25-year-old actress KATIE REDFORD claimed to be 19
Coronation Street will recast the role of Bethany Platt after the actress who had been hired to play her was discovered to be almost seven years older than she had said she was. Katie Redford auditioned as a 19-year-old to land a part on the cobbles.
COUPLES SUCCESS IS UNSUNG BUT STEADY
WHAT is most certain about a life in the theater is its uncertainty. Less certain, but as characteristic, is its volatility; and its valleys and the peaks, if any. A noted playwright once observed that in the theater, you can make a killing; but a living, no. Those killings - instant fame, the overnight success - we hear about and know all too well. Not so the struggles; and equally unheard and unheralded are the successes short of spectacular. These are the stories of the unsung, reliable professionals, not so recognized by the person on the street as by the people in the business, and more recognizable by virtue of their steady stage appearances than by their names.
Eleven celebrities who LIED about their age after Corrie newcomer Katie.
We were all reminded of this not so shocking fact this morning following the news that Coronation Street have sacked Katie Redford and will recast the role of Bethany Platt after it emerged she was in fact 25 not 19. She is of course not the first to.
THE NATURAL AIMS FOR NATIONAL TITLE
LAST Christmas Eve, a horse originally named Donald 158 and rechristened two years ago as The Natural, arrived at Old Salem Farm. He was a costly present - indeed the most expensive jumper ever bought - from Paul and Edie Greenwood to themselves. Since then the horse, brown with black trim and hardly worth his $1 million price tag on appearance alone, has become the Cinderella of the show-jumping circuit. He won the first Grand Prix the Greenwoods entered him in, the United States Equestrian Team Classic at Palm Beach, Fla. last January, was a member of the United States team that won the gold medal at the world show-jumping championship in West Germany this summer, and in August he won the Hampton Classic Grand Prix. In the three years he has competed in this country since being imported from West Germany, The Natural has earned nearly $150,000 and is being aimed, said Greenwood, toward the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.

Paul Attanasio was born in 1959, the same year the quiz show scandal on television stunned and outraged the nation.

And I thought where we all are today is the product of this national loss of innocence, which began with the quiz show scandals and continued on to Vietnam, Watergate, Oliver North, even O. J.

This multimedia extravaganza - part slide show and lecture, part fashion show, part art installation, part rock n roll freakout - is the latest iteration of the fictional parallel universe the duo has been imagining and manifesting since 2008, with installations at Ballroom Marfa, Deitch Projects, Miami Art Basel and Country Club at R.M. Schindlers Buck House in West Hollywood, which they transformed into an artfully ravaged psychedelic laboratory, the onetime site of out-there experiments with a drug called Marasa. Shadow Pool expands upon and then explodes this mythology, holding up the shards for our sensory pleasure, and confusion..

Reclaiming the City, Movie by Movie
MOVIES have always been a comfort to me. As a law student at New York University, I often took refuge from civil procedure class at the Waverly. Later, feeling misplaced as a rookie business reporter for The Wall Street Journal, Id sneak uptown to Times Square at lunchtime. Even before multiplexes, a movie was always playing there. Eventually, The Journals editors decided to get a full days work out of me and moved me to the arts section, where I became a film critic. Its a family tradition. When my parents immigrated to New York after World War II, one of their first stops was Radio City Music Hall, to see a revival of Gone With the Wind. They settled in rural Ohio, in a town too small to support a movie theater, so every Sunday they drove my sister and me to Cincinnati, 120 miles round trip, to catch the latest release.

THE POLLACK TOUCH
I HAD A FARM IN AFRICA, AT THE foot of the Ngong Hills - that famous opening sentence of Isak Dinesens Out of Africa has daunted some of the most enterprising of modern film makers. Orson Welles, who made an hourlong film of Dinesens The Immortal Story, never realized his hopes of adapting her classic African memoir. Nor did David Leans thoughts of filming the book ever materialize. In the early 1970s, Nicolas Roeg thought of directing a film with Julie Christie as the Danish-born author and Ryan ONeal as the Swedish Baron whom she married. But if the book, which Dinesens biographer Judith Thurman has called a landscape from the air, has a keen sense of character and place that have made it alluring from the film makers standpoint, it also has an uneventfulness that has kept it well out of reach. So it eluded them all.

DAVID RAYFIELS SCRIPT MAGIC
IT WAS A TYPICAL HOLLYWOOD plot. The screenplay for a murder mystery called The Morning After was offered a few years ago to Tri-Star Pictures, which showed it to Jane Fonda. She was interested, but the script needed work. Tri-Star put the property into turnaround, meaning it offered the screenplay for sale. Warner Brothers bought it and Mark H. Rosenberg, then president of production at that studio, assigned it to another writer for revisions. Still there were problems. It needed narrative work and some character development, Rosenberg recalls. The executive and the actress then approached a third writer, David Rayfiel. We thought that if anybody could make it work, it would be David, says Rosenberg, who is now with another film company, Mirage Productions. Tomorrow, shooting on The Morning After is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles. It is being made by Lorimar Telepictures, which bought it from Warner, and the stars are Jane Fonda, Jeff Bridges and Raul Julia. Sidney Lumet, on the strength of Rayfiels revisions, is directing.

What a Difference a Do Makes
IM NOT CUTTING THE HAIR! shrieks Michelle Pfeiffer, a novice television news hound with an unfortunate propensity for mall-girl tresses, to Robert Redford, a seasoned pro determined to haul her off for a makeover, in the recent tear-jerker Up Close and Personal. Of course, she chops off her hair. For a novice from a Reno trailer park who has faked her resume, a few snips of the scissors and a hit of Clairol are but a small sacrifice to snag a job as a reporter at a top Miami station. The film, which isnt very illuminating about whats needed to succeed on the air (raw ambition, a face that eats the lens and a voice full of money help) is a veritable handbook of broadcast-news hairdos. Not surprising, some television consultants and reporters dismissed Ms. Pfeiffers dizzying metamorphosis as more Hollywood make-believe than reality.
