I WAS JUST CUT OFF FROM WRITING, SO ALLOW ME TO START AGAIN...AS I STATED PRIOR BEFORE MY WORDS WERE WIPED OFF THE SCREEN...I AM NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT I AM DOING THIS ALL BY MYSELF AND I THANK THOSE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME...HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO SUPPORT ME BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF MY SKIN, MY GENDER, MY SEXUAL PREDILICTION...
AND THE FACT IS THAT WE HAVE TO BLAME OURSELVES TO SOME EXTENT AS TO WHY IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO EXPOSE THIS GLOBAL HOAX...AND IT HAS TAKEN THIS LONG BECAUSE THERE WAS ALWAYS ONE OR ANOTHER GROUP LEFT OUT...
PEOPLE OF COLOR NORMALLY HAD TO KEEP STARTING FROM SCRATCH, WHILE THE SO CALLED UPPER CRUST, AND AGAIN AMERICA IS SUPPOSE TO NOT HAVE A CLASS SYSTEM REMEMBER...WELL GOING FORWARD WE WON'T...NOT BECAUSE I SAY IT...
BUT WHEN SATCHMO SAID, "THE MAN IS STILL IN CHARGE" I BELIEVE PEOPLE MISINTERPRETED...BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE MAN WHO IS IN CHARGE, OR THE WOMAN, OR ETC. ETC. ETC. IT IS THE CREATOR, AND WE MUST SERVE THE HIGHER POWER ALWAYS CALL IT NATURE OR HIGHER INTELLIGENCE...
WE HAVE STRAYED...
TELL ME WHY IS IT THAT SOME MEN AND SOME WOMEN, MANY BLACKS HAVE BEEN SO AGAINST OPRA WINFREY, DON'T YOU THINK SHE RIGHTFULLY DESERVES A NIGHT TIME SPOT ON TV, WHY WASN'T SHE EVER PUT THERE. UNTIL NOW PERHAPS, I USE HER AS AN EXAMPLE FOR MY FILM, IN PURSUIT OF DESTINY, THOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE ROLE OF THE NIGHT TIME TV HOST WILL BE OPEN TO OTHERS AS WELL, EVERY ONE MUST AUDITION, IT WILL BE A NAME PERSON, AND I SAY OPRAH BECAUSE SHE HAS A HUGE FOLLOWING, AND AS I STATED THIS IS NOT A PHILANTHROPY THAT I'M RUNNING, AND YES I'M STILL A HORRIBLE SPELLER.
AS MENTIONED WHEN I WAS CUT OFF, MY FATHER WAS SOUTHERN BLACK AND AMERICAN INDIAN AND I WOULD LIKE TO HONOR THAT IN CASTING THAT ROLE, HOWEVER, AS STATED, I WILL CONSIDER AS STATED BEFORE OPEN CASTING.
NOW IF THIS IS RUFFLING FEATHERS, PERHAPS BECAUSE SOMEONE OR SOMEONES HAVE STEPPED IN AND HAVE ASSUMED MY ROLE, I THINK YOU ALL NEED TO BACK DOWN...IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN, THE HOAX IS FULLY EXPOSED, AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO FOLLOW, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE...
THE FILM WILL PROBABLY BE SHOT IN NY AND PERHAPS LA, AS I STATED THE BEAUTY STEALERS WILL BE SHOT MOSTLY IN CALI...YOU GUYS NEED TO RELAX AND TRUST THAT I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING...
I AM A GOOD WRITER, I HAVE DIRECTED AND I AM AN ACTRESS THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO OR NEED TO APPEAR IN ANY OF MY PROJECTS, BE THAT STAGE PLAYS OR WHAT HAVE YOU...
EXPERIENCED CASTING PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HIRED, AND THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES THAT SURVIVE THE AUDITIONS, WILL BE PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD WHICH I WILL BE SITTING ON, AND THERE MUST BE A LOGICAL EXPLNATION AS TO WHY THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE CHOOSING THE PARTICULAR ACTOR OR ACTRESS, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS FAIR.
NEPOPOTYISM IS NOT A VALUED CRITERIA TO BE CAST, I CHOOSE TO SHARE THIS, BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS...
BACK TO OPRAH, I HAVE HEARD MEN, BLACK MEN IN PARTICULAR TO DISPARAGE HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER FRIEND GAIL, I HAVE DEFENDED THAT POSITION BECAUSE IT WAS MORALLY IN MY OPINION INAPPROPRIATE TO PUT OUT THAT PARTICULAR VERBAGE, ONES SEXUAL PREDILICTION IS NO ONE ELSES BUSINESS BUT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED AND WHATEVER THEIR CHOICES ARE SHOULD NOT DISQUALIFY THEM FOR ANY CONSIDERATION WHEN IT COMES TO MY, OR OUR TEAM OF ARTISTS WITH FRIENDS. QUESTION, WHY HASN'T OPRAY WINFREY NEVER HAD HER OWN NIGHT TIME TV SHOW?
SHE GAVE MANY A WHITE MALE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR OWN SHOW ON DAYTIME TV, SUCH AS DR. OZ, AND THE OTHER GUY, DR. PHIL, AND YOU MEAN TO TELL ME SHE HAS TO CONTINUE ON DAY TIME, WHEN SHE SHOULD BE WAY OUT IN FRONT OF THOSE GUYS. THIS IS WHAT I'M SPEAKING ON WHEN I SPEAK ABOUT THE INJUSTICES OF THIS INDUSTRY.
ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, I HAVE NO IDEA TO THIS DAY WHETHER HE IS GAY OR NOT IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT THE FACT IS THAT THIS MAN TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE, AND IF HE IS GAY, THAT SHOULD SPEAK VOLUMES TO THE FACT WHO YOU CAN RECEIVE LOVE FROM. IT WAS AFTER MY DIVORCE AND UTA HAGEN HAD PAIRED US UP AS SCENE PARTNERS, AND THE SCENE WAS FROM "HOME FROM THE HILL" AND IT WAS A LOVE SCENE, BUT I WAS SO ANGRY FROM MY DIVORCE, THAT I HAD NO CAPACITY TO SHOW THE LOVE NECESSARY FOR THE SCENE TO WORK. BUT HE ASKED, "GWEN, WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY?" AND THE QUESTION STARTLED ME, AND THEN I REALIZED THAT WAS JUST THE RIGHT QUESTION AT THE RIGHT TIME, TO BREAK THROUGH AND DELIVER ON THE CHARACTER NECESSARY FOR THE SCENE TO WORK.
SO I LAUGHED AND SAID, I GUESS I'M STILL ANGRY FROM MY BAD MARRIAGE, OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. SO ACTUALLY MY FRIEND PLAYED THE DIRECTOR AT THAT POINT, AGAIN, GOOD IDEAS CAN COME FROM ANY WHERE AND ANY ONE. AND MY FRIEND, ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, PROVED THAT.
FRIENDS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE PEOPLE THAT GIVE YOU TANGIBLE THINGS, BUT THEY ARE THE ONES THAT GIVE YOU THE THINGS NORMALLY INTANGIBLE THAT YOU REALLY NEED AT THAT TIME, THAT'S A TRUE FRIEND.
NATURALLY NAME INDIVIDUALS WILL BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE OF NAME VALUE HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A NOVICE, YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE CONSIDERED FOR ANOTHER ROLE, PERHAPS SMALLER TO SEE HOW YOU FAIR, I WOULD BE DOING THIS MYSELF IF I SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A ROLE.
I FEEL THAT WOMEN, GAYS, AND WHITE BLACK RED ETC HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED, THE GROUP THAT YELLS THE LOUDEST IS NOT ALWAYS THE GROUP DESERVING OF SPECIAL CONSIDERATION, THAT BEING SAID, WHEN I TELL YOU I HAVE HONESTLY SEEN THE BACK OF THE NECKS OF INDIANS THAT HAVE BEEN BRUTALLY KILLED, AND HAVE COME BACK THROUGH THE CREATOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE AT THIS WONDERFUL LIFE, IT IS THE TRUTH, MAY GOD BELIEVE ME, AND YES I DO FEAR GOD. AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WAS MY IMAGINATION IN WHAT I SAW, OR GOD GIVING ME THE VISUAL NECESSITY TO EXPRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
IN MY NOVEL I SPEAK OF WHITES IN POWER PATTING THE BACKS OF THEMSELVES AND I SAW IT TODAY, WHEN I LOOKED UP AND SAW LARRY KING, HERALDED AS NUMBER ONE NEWS BOARDCASTER UP ON SUNSET, WHEN I UNDERSTAND LARRY KING NEVER PAID HIS DEBTS, WHEN I SAY THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE MY PROPERTY WITHOUT HAVING ANY LEGAL LEG TO STAND ON, AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP THE EVIDENCE THAT IS GOING TO PROTECT ME, THIS IS THE CASE.
YES, BILLY WILDER HAS HIS PLAQUE UP ON THE LIGHT POLE, AND YES, WHEN I WAS AT AFI IN 75 BILLY WILDER, THE MAN WHO DIRECTED SOME LIKE IT HOT, A BRILLIANT COMEDY WITH MARILYN MONROE, TONY CURTIS AND JOEY BROWN, AND I REMEMBER HIM SAYING WHAT IT TOOK TO BE A GOOD DIRECTOR AND HOPEFULLY I WILL KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN I DIRECT A MATTER OF CHOISE, "ONCE YOU CAST YOUR ACTOR AND ACTRESSES (I'M PARAPHRASING) STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY"...I KNOW I HATED LINE READINGS FROM DIRECTORS, AND EVERY GOOD ACTRESS AND ACTOR SHOULD.
IF YOU HIRE AN ACTOR OR ACTRESS AND YOU DON'T TRUST THEM ENOUGH TO DELIVER THEIR LINES THEN THAT'S ON THE DIRECTOR, NOT THE ACTOR OR ACTRESS.
HAVE A GOOD DAY AND THANKS FOR LISTENING.
