Sunday sees our American cousins (and many other parts of the world) celebrate Mother’s Day. Here in England we got the whole palava over with are so keen to honour our mothers that we mark the occasion in March.
The run-up to the American day in 2008 (also Sunday, May 11th as it is this year) saw Kathryn attend an event at the Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences saluting mothers seen on TV.
As you can see in the photo on the left Kathryn was there with the actress who played Lilly Rush’s on-screen mother, Meredith Baxter. Although alluded to quite often Ellen Rush only appeared in 5 episodes from late in season 3 (Beautiful Little Fool) to the end of season 4 (Stalker) before her death, which only added to Lilly’s woes.
Thankfully, the wonderful Meredith is still with us and continues to work mainly on TV, such as guest starring in TV shows like Glee as she did last year. Speaking of on-screen mothers, as we most definitely are, Meredith famously starred as Michael J Fox’s mother in the series Family Ties and then repeated the feat with a guest role in the comedy Spin City, in which her character dated the Mayor of New York as played by Barry Bostwick (Cold Case episode Creatures Of The Night).
A little like Ellen Rush, Meredith has had her relationship troubles having been married a total of four times and had 5 children. In 2009 Meredith came out as a lesbian. A decade early she underwent treatment for breast cancer.
Anyway, back to our always-yummy-but-only-recently-a-mummy favourite ‘yummy mummy’ we have 12 additional photos of Kathryn at the Mother’s Day Salute To TV Moms event from May 2008 now in the KM UK Gallery.
Here we go, kicking off the 2014 edition of KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2014, where we bring you new, bigger screencaps from a specially selected season of Cold Case.
So, where to start? Rather than being all conventional and beginning at the beginning, we’re taking a more random approach this year, with you the reader able to vote for episodes you want to see next as we go along. Our first winner was Willkommen, episode 18 of this year’s chosen season: number 3.
And what most comes to mind when we think of Cold Case? That’s right: amateur actors… Only joking
Willkommen brings up the 2002 murder (the episode aired in May 2006) of an amateur actor who was taking part in a production of Cabaret. The cast list for the episode shows that the actors involved were anything but amateur. Several had previously done Cabaret on Broadway. The lead actor (aka, the victim) Adam Pascal was in Rent with our very own Tracie Thoms.
The episode ends with a funny scene as the squad meet up at a bar and Vera, inspired by the case, breaks into song.
173 Full HD (1080p) Lilly screencaps are now in the the Gallery.
Over the course of the years this website has been going I like to think that we’ve established a few traditions, albeit mostly based around other traditions such as birthdays. The hope is that they are fun things to look forward to.
One of the events we mark is tinged with a little sadness: the end of Cold Case.
May the 2nd in 2010, a Sunday of course, saw the final two episodes of Cold Case season 7 aired in the US. Shattered, the second of the pair, was the last ever episode in the 156 show run.
As I try to cover in the now monthly CCCC-up posts the cast have gone on to a variety of other things. This time last year we were waiting for news on Kathryn’s new show The Surgeon General and Tracie’s Gothica. Sadly, neither of those projects made it beyond the pilot stage. However, we know that they have all gone on to do plenty of other things. Just last year Kathryn produced two little projects of her own, and maybe we’ll see her in a movie or TV show soon too.
I’ve left it rather late this month but there is just time to squeeze in our regular post on the careers of the Cold Case cast members that aren’t Kathryn. It’s April so we’ll make this the April update.
In an effort to stop this becoming the Tracie Thoms Twelve Tributes (it’s monthly) or the T4, or 4T, or Double TT (OK, that just got weird 😉 ) we’ll try and up the non-Tracie content this time. It might be difficult though. Don’t worry, we still love you Tracie 😉
Danny Pino (Scotty Valens on CC) is coming to the end of his 3rd season on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. It’s difficult to believe it has been that long already. Makes me feel older just thinking about that. There’s a joke in there somewhere about policeman looking younger every year. So far there is no word on whether L&O:SVU will get another season or not. As we know from Kathryn’s work on Cold Case you do a job on a show like that pretty much at the exclusion of everything else so there is little time for side projects. At the moment there doesn’t appear to anything in the pipeline from Danny. If you want wall-to-wall coverage on Danny’s work check out the great site Danny Pino Online. Tell them I sent you and say ‘hi’ from me.
Going up in rank we’ll move on to John Finn (John Stillman in CC). John is listed as being in the pilot for a possible new CBS TV series based around the machinations of Wall Street. Actor John Cusack (High Fidelity) is set to star and produce. The writers and exec producers from the TV series Justified are also behind the project. Charlie Cox (Boardwalk Empire) leads with David Morse (Treme), Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) and Maggie Grace (Taken) co-starring. Morse’s character will be a powerful banker no doubt tapping into the world’s current distrust of financial institutions. Cox is to be an Iraq war vet turned banker, so we know he’ll be a good guy. Okonedo plays an assistant attorney general charged investigating the murky world of money. John Finn’s character is just down as Ritter at the moment. As of now the show is just known as Untitled Wall Street Project and is on IMDb as a “TV movie” which is often the case with pilots for series.
Next we’ll cast (see what I did there?) our net a little wider before pulling it back.
