Something special happens when women get together and talk - confidences are shared, help and support given, all in the name of sisterhood and friendship. Women are compassionate listeners, knowing intuitively when to offer advice or merely a shoulder to lean on. Gigi Garner captured these intimate moments and compiled them with permission into a book for all women. Contributors include such stars as Naomi Judd, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Shari Belafonte, as well as other women, from a prison warden to an elementary school teacher. Beauty and health tips to advice on careers and relationships, this book covers them all.

The daughter of beloved actor JAMES GARNER has assured fans her father is "doing fine" after recent photographs of the frail star sparked concerns for his health .
Garner was snapped visiting a Beverly Hills, California hospital, looking gaunt and distant, but his author daughter Gigi insists the pictures are deceiving.
She says, "He had a stroke on May 9th but he's doing well. He's doing really well in fact. He's perfect."
The 80-year-old star, who spent three weeks in hospital after undergoing surgery following his stroke, was photographed clutching a cane as a nurse and his driver helped him into a wheelchair.
His representative says, "Jim was at the medical centre for a routine outpatient check up with his doctor."

TV Dads

clipper's remarks: I definitely agree with this letter writer. The relationship between Jim Rockford and his dad, "Rocky" was one of the most realistic and touching ever on TV. And the fact that it was the same in real life made it almost unique.

A beautiful thing, on screen AND off.

Here's what you had to say about TV dads

Friday, June 20, 2008

In honor of Father's Day, we listed TV dads in three categories: heroes, hapless and hopeless. Now it's your turn. Here are readers' responses on the TV dads they love and those they love to hate.

My favorite TV dad was Josephy "Rocky" Rockford. I loved the close relationship he and Jim had. Jim had a picture of his father dad on his desk. In the made-for-TV "Rockford Files" movies, Rocky had a life-size painting of Jim.

In one of the movies, Jim and Dyan Cannon were visity Rocky's grave. She said, "You were his whole world, Jim. You were No. 1 in his life."

What was really nice is James Garner and Noah Berry were like dad and son off-camera. Jay Leno asked James Garner about Noah Berry's death. His voice cracked and he put his hand over his face. He said, "I can't talk about it."

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- James Garner, who was hospitalized late last week after suffering a minor stroke, is doing well and should be going home shortly, the veteran television and film star's publicist said Tuesday.

James Garner, shown in 2006, was an Oscar nominee for "Murphy's Romance" opposite Sally Field.

The star of such TV shows as "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files" went to the hospital after becoming ill at home Friday, said his publicist, Jennifer Allen.

"He's still in the hospital, but my understanding is he is doing well and will be going home soon. When, exactly, we have not been told yet," Allen said.

New Movie For James Garner

clipper's remarks: James Garner is making a new movie with old pal Lou Gossett Jr.

Clip Source: www.nationalledger.com

BACK TOGETHER AGAIN: Oscar-winning actor Lou Gossett Jr. reports that "Capture the Flag," the indie film he's currently shooting, is a reunion for him and veteran actor James Garner, who holds a special place in his heart. "James put me on the map in the '70s film called 'Skin Game,'" recalls Gossett of the 1971 film about two con artists in the post-Civil War south.

"Capture the Flag," says Gossett, "is about these kids between 10 and 12 in a military academy. I play one caretaker of the school from the Navy, and Garner plays the other caretaker, who's from the Army. We're retired, and our competition is supposed to be peaceful, but it's our last hurrah. It's all very tongue-in-cheek."

Agree?

clipper's remarks: I think I must agree, although sometimes I think TV has gone a bit too far.

Clip Source: www.nypost.com

HW: It used to be that television wasn't something everybody wanted to do, but that's changed. Why do you think so many actors are doing TV now?

EI: I've studied that from the beginning just because I was interested in acting and Hollywood and films, and I think the first three that made it across were Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and James Garner. There wasn't supposed to be a bridge there. I think it's because the writers were given the power to run the thing. They became the executive producers, so some really good writers said, ""Hey, I'm going to write some stuff and produce it too."" Like with The Sopranos, it was like, ""Okay, get out there and do edgy, dark, interesting, real life, independent film feeling television. Put it out there."" So they did this and then good actors thought, ""I'm going to do some of this stuff."" Then the bridge started going backwards and forwards and it almost feels like a level bridge now.

Rockford Files: Season Five

clipper's remarks: Another great comment on this classic series - and classic (and classy) star.

Clip Source: www.dvdfile.com

The Rockford Files: Season Five is a great collection of TV episodes, even if it doesn’t showcase the series at its creative best. James Garner is one of TV’s greatest leading men, and this set does him justice. Unfortunately, audio and video qualities aren’t fantastic (although probably as good as the source elements can allow), and the lack of extras is a pain in the neck. But who are we kidding? We all know Jim Rockford would be way too cool to watch DVD bonus features.

When asked by US magazine about the secret to his 41-year marriage, James Garner, the star of Maverick and The Rockford Files, said, "Consideration. You have to care for [your spouse] and do a lot of forgiving and forgetting. It’s a two-way street. A lot of people don't get married because they know they can get out of it at any minute. Hey, it was difficult for me to make that commitment, but when I make them, I stick with them."

clipper's remarks: Excellent review of a great film

Clip Source: www.bostonnow.com

Movie
Has the decade produced a better date movie than The Notebook (9 p.m., Saturday, CBS)? You've got all the ingredients for a classic romance; an adaptation from a popular book, a director with indie cred and a family legacy (Nick Cassavetes) who cast his legendary Mom (Gena Rowlands) as one of leads, the great James Garner, and the age old romantic storyline of a couple separated by disapproving parents, and then a war, before love has a chance to conquer all. Watch with Kleenex at the ready.

The Value of Farmers

clipper's remarks: So right! Seems like so many city folk forget where their food comes from.

Clip Source: www.cattlenetwork.com

Even celebrities like James Garner are speaking out about the import role farmers are playing in providing a secure food and energy future.

"Many Americans don't realize that we enjoy the safest, most affordable food supply in the world, thanks to our country's farmers," Garner says. "This year, our corn growers are also helping us to solidify a more secure energy future by also producing corn for cleaner-burning renewable ethanol. I hope others will join me in thanking corn growers for helping fill our grocery shelves and still filling our cars with renewable fuel."

To learn more about the impact farmers have on keeping the country's food costs affordable and while stretching energy resources, visit www.farmersmatter.org. Consumers can also leave their own message thanking farmers this holiday season by participating in a video contest and entering to win $1,500.

In other news, James Garner was here on Friday. We had the chance to ask questions and of course, I could think of nothing b/c I was in aw of his presence. It was nice hearing what he had to say and he made us laugh several times. There was a reception in the green room where we were able to have pictures taken too. No, I didn't have my picture taken with him b/c I was too busy taking in the whole series of events. Who knew I would get to meet all these exciting people in my graduate career?

November Is National American Indian Heritage Month

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 00:29:44 GMT

clipper's remarks: Actually, James Garner is one quarter Cherokee - his mother was one half Cherokee.

Clip Source: www.baxterbulletin.com

I trust you can insert into your newspaper the fact that November is National American Indian Heritage Month. A proclamation was just signed by President Bush.

If there is one group in our culture that deserves this honor, it is the American Indian and the many who have American Indian blood in their veins. Our local historian, Bill Woodiel, has done so much towards the recognition of the Trail of Tears. What caused the Trail of Tears was absolutely disgraceful. A removal of people from their very successful plantations and forcing them into the wilds of the Oklahoma territory.

An example as a descendant is actor James Garner, who is from Oklahoma and is half Cherokee and active in American Indian organizations. Also, who can forget the Oklahoma Cherokee Cowboy and philosopher, Will Rodgers?

(Editor's Note: If you'd like to read President Bush's proclamation for National American Indian Heritage Month, go online to: www.whitehouse.gov/news/re-leases/2007/10/20071031-2.html.)
