Kathryn @ The Hollywood Reporter’s Breakfast – Dec 2006

women_in_entertainment_10Or to give it its full title: “The Hollywood Reporter’s 15th Annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast”.  Now there’s a mouthful  :-)

I’ve been trying to keep some of these nostalgia trips roughly in line with the same date that they originally happened.  This post got pushed back more than week by other things so we missed, just.  Kathryn, and her red coat, had breakfast with the Power 100 on the 5th of December back in 2006.  The 2013 edition of this event happened just last week (11th Dec) so we were closer with that one and was attended by lovely ladies such as Angie Harmon (Rizzoli & Isles), Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother), Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Judy Greer (Arrested Development).  But not Kathryn.

No one knows what actually goes on at these meetings.  Or if they do, they’re not telling us!  You don’t think they actually… eat breakfast do you?!?  :-)

The album in the Gallery has been updated with 5 more photos of Kathryn attending the do.

Kathryn @ The Contender Première – October 2000

contender_premiere_005How time flies.  It only seems like yesterday we brought you the news that Kathryn had joined the pilot of a potential new TV series Surgeon General.  The US is starting its Thanksgiving holidays and for many of the rest us the slow, yet all too fast, countdown to Xmas begins (we’ll return to that idea next week).  Yikes!

Why did I bring Surgeon General up for this return to nostalgia corner?  Well, it is because of the woman on the right in the photo above (I had to crop it like that our you might not be looking at the face 😮 ).  That lady is Kristen Shaw and she has worked on more of director Rod Lurie’s projects that Kathryn has.  Rod directed the Surgeon General pilot and drafted in some of his old friends to work on the project.  Kristen featured in a couple of behinds the scenes photos from the filming of Surgeon General, as brought to you by KM UK here and here.

But we’re going back a little further than April for this post.  No, it’s October we’re heading for.  October’s before April right?  It is when the October in question was in 2000!  It’s as far back as our little way back machine goes at the moment.  I’m not Dr Who after all, despite what you might think  :-)

October 5th, 2000, saw the premiere of the film The Contender starring Joan Allen (The Bourne Legacy), Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Jeff Bridges (Iron Man), along with many others.  Kathryn attended with uncharacteristically brown hair.  Kristen had small role in The Contender, most notably in a scene with Kathryn that is one of the deleted scenes on the DVD release.  You can read KM UK’s review of The Contender and the deleted scene in a post here on KM UK from almost exactly 3 years ago.

The Gallery has gained a new album containing 5 varied sized photos of Kathryn at the première of The Contender.

Many thanks to Alexia of Emilia Fox Online for her help on this one.

The Coin Slot Exposed

underexposed_film_festival_1736x808

As promised last week here are the details of The Coin’s screening at the Underexposed Film Festival, York Country, South Carolina.

The Coin is being shown with ten other short films in a groups called “Narrative”.  Fabien Martorell’s film is also one of the festival Director’s Choice.

The film festival starts this coming Thursday (14 November) and runs through to Saturday (16 November).  Saving the best to (almost) last the “Narrative” set is to be screened on the Saturday between 7pm and 9pm, with The Coin the 3rd in a final set of six after the intermission.  The venue for this, the second year of the festival, is the Community Performance Center on East Main Street, in the state capital Rock Hill.  It is only $6 a ticket.  The awards ceremony follows the “Block F” screening.

The Underexposed Film Festival should really considering sticking the word “International” in there somewhere because the event includes films from all over the globe. As well as the USA there are films from Serbia, Turkey, Australia, India, the UK, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Spain, Iran, France, Romania, and Austria.

There is quite a list of stars from big screen and television in the films too.  Elijah Wood (Lord Of The Rings) and Alia Shawkat (Maeby Fünke in Arrested Development) star together in Setup, Punch.  Christopher Lloyd (Spin City) features, along with fellow repeatee Elijah Wood, in a second film being shown called The Narrative of Victor Karloch.  Amongst the others I recognise is TV drama Perception guest star Scott Wolf in Imagine (he played Rachael Leigh Cook’s character’s ex-husband).

Good luck to all those taking part in the festival.

If you are in Rock Hill on Saturday and make the screening please let us know your thoughts.

More details about the Underexposed Film Festival can be found on their website HERE.

Kathryn @ THR’s Next Gen Event – November 2002

hollywood_the_next_generation_001It has been only two weeks since our last visit to nostalgia corner.  As strange a place as it can be on this occasion it is following the normal rules of the passage of time.

Two weeks after the previously covered Nintendo Platinum GameCube launch party Kathryn was at the annual The Hollywood Reporter Honors Its “Hollywood: The Next Generation” event.

The 2013 edition of this event happened yesterday (6 November 2013).  In 2002 it was on the 5th of the month.

The “Next Generation” in question are mainly 35 under 35 executives working across the entertainment industry whether it be in legal or marketing departments, management, or production.  In the past they’ve also included separate sections for actors and actresses.  In 2012 it was 5 of each sex.  This year it appears to be just 5 in total across both genders.

What is not clear from my investigations is whether Kathryn was one of the chosen few in the class of 2002.  I suspect not.  If you know otherwise please let us know.  A few celebs are invited to the event, the always delightful Kristin Davis (Sex & The City) was there in 2002 as well for instance.

Anyway, we have updated the Gallery with 8 photos of Kathryn attending the do.

Kathryn @ Jerry Bruckheimer Book Launch – Update

jerry_bruckheimer_book_launch_001Hello mummy!

Someone in LA got a few bucks for babysitting last night (29 October 2013) because Kathryn and Johnny were out at a public event for the first time (that we know of) since the birth of their twin sons in August.  They tore themselves aware from childcare duties to attend the launch party for a new book about the prolific film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

The tome, Jerry Bruckheimer: When Lightning Strikes – Four Decades Of Filmmaking, covers Bruckheimer’s career from an early stint in advertising to producing some of the most successful movies and television shows in Hollywood history.  The Pirates Of The Caribbean films, the CSI TV shows, Top Gun, Bad Boys, The Amazing Race, Pearl Harbor, National Treasure, Coyote Ugly, Con Air etc. etc. etc. were produced by him.  And Cold Case of course.  Some of those big film series are getting further sequels in the coming years too.

jerry_bruckheimer_book_launch_002Written by Michael Singer, a long time collaborator of Bruckheimers, with publicist credits in many of his productions, and with a foreword by Johnny Depp, the book is due for launch in the US at the end of December.  It is listed on Amazon’s US website HERE (other book stores are available).

Amazon’s UK arm has it down for release in mid-December, as seen HERE.  Suck on that America! :-)

So far we only have 2 small photos of Kathryn at the book launch.  Both have been added to the Gallery.  I’ll endeavour to find larger versions and bring them to you.

Update (2 Nov):  Both the photos have now been super-sized.  Many thanks to the lovely Alexia from the lovely emilia-fox.com, which is all about the lovely actress Emilia Fox, and her lovely, yet nameless, friend for helping out with this.  Lovely.
