Happy Birthday Kathleen.

Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the most powerful women in Hollywood today: Kathleen Kennedy.

She was born on this day, June the 5th, in Berkely, California, USA and went to Hollywood (and met with Steven Spielberg) in 1978 as an assistant to John Milius, for his contribution to Spielberg's comedy-extravaganza 1941.
A year later she became associate to Steven on his next film Raiders of the Lost Ark, after which she rose to the position of (executive) producer on a lot of Spielberg (directed) films and even more films he went on to executive produce himself.

On the set of Raiders she met the man she married in 1987: Frank Marshall.

In 1981 she co-founded Amblin Entertainment, together with Marshall and Spielberg, a partnership that lasted until 1992 (when Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald stepped in),

the year she and husband Frank formed their own production company: The Kennedy/Marshall Company.

I could write a lot more about her, but let the pictures speak for themselves.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
