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

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
