Welcome to another Cinema Sounds & Secrets Tribute episode! This week Janet, John, (and Pen) delve into the amazing career of an actor whose film, stage, and television career spanned nearly seven decades… Gena Rowlands! From growing up in Madison, Wisconsin to attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, Rowlands was a true star from the Golden Age of Hollywood and a pioneer of independent film. The four-time Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner is known for her incredible performances in films like A Child Is Waiting (1963), Faces (1968), A Woman Under the Influence (1974), Opening Night (1977), Gloria (1980), Tempest (1982), Love Streams (1984) and more.

Happy/Merry Valentine’s Day from Janet, John, and Pendleton! <3

The More the Merrier (1943) & Annie Hall (1977). This week, Janet, John, (and Pen) revisit the LOVE Episode… Two classic romantic comedy-dramas from two great directors thirty years apart, both get to the heart of the bumpy road to love; one taking place in Washington D.C. in WW II where a person would find it hard to find a place to rest his head – let alone the perfect mate, the other happens in the “I Love New York“ era New York, when Times Square was a hub of hustlers and movie art houses sprung up like the spring daisies in Central Park. Both films bringing together unlikely lovebirds!
