Then make an insurance claim.”At $50 for a 14-hour day, it’s not surprising people turn to crime when a New York apartment costs at least $1,000 a month and head shots for a portfolio often cost more than $2,000 if they’re done professionally. “My husband and I must have made four of five big claims in the last six years when the parts were thin on the ground,” says the actress, who does not want to be named “It’s common among actors. When the going gets tough, sell your car or your furniture to somebody in the Bronx, then say it was stolen. Others take a more criminal line, supporting careers by unorthodox means. One actress who has just made it big after years of struggle says her secret was insurance fraud.
The nature of being an actor means turning yourself inside out and, unlike being a musician or a writer, your work is absolutely connected to what you look like.” Trinder subsists in the traditional way – waiting tables. She was at the Chekov auditions, hoping to land the role of Natasha or Olga She was one of the unlucky ones “It can be heartbreaking,” she says “It isn’t only the constant rejection. It did, however, draw agents and producers to see aspirants in good roles. It also drew more than 500 hopefuls for 14 parts.”I would never recommend being an actor,” says Liz Trinder, queueing outside Actors Equity.
Last week, there were auditions for Chekov’s Three Sisters at Manhattan’s Looking Glass Theatre. The play is an “Equity Showcase”, which, in true Alice in Wonderland style, means four weeks of hard work for no pay. Mandatory auditions have only been part of the Broadway scene since 1988 American Equity defends the system. “I know people get parts through the auditions but I’m not naive enough to think we are the only route the directors use,” says Tony Nicosia.The numbers are often overwhelming, as is the pressure. Francis Ford Coppola held an open call for On the Road earlier this year and 5,000 people showed up, while an audition for five dancing parts in Demi Moore’s Striptease drew a crowd of more than 250 women.
I say it’s their fault; they could hold auditions over several days, but they cram everybody into one and often you just see the CD and not the director.”Many casting directors feel they’ve been press-ganged into the Broadway audition system which only exists because the unions forced the producers’ hand. “So many of them are just mean,” says Richard Bradshaw who arrived at 4.40am to ensure an early audition, when the director is still fresh “If you get in late, the CD is often crabby and negative They just don’t want to see you – they’ve had enough. “Once you’ve been bitten by the acting bug, you’ll make every sacrifice to succeed.” Back in the queue, several hopefuls are spitting venom at their favourite target – the casting director. Looking out his window at the queue snaking round the block, he admires the persistence of New York actors, although he accepts their dedication is pathological. “Every time I walk past a theatre marquee, I know one day I could have my name up there. When I do get a part, it’s such a buzz; that’s the feeling which stays with you through the cold mornings.”Tony Nicosia agrees. That’s a good way of getting stage time and improving your CV.” Levin has no need of an acting career to eat, she says she has a “wonderful” job teaching literature at a local college “I can’t stop doing this,” she says.
I’ve played Maria in The Sound of Music, once in New Jersey and once in Lake Placid. The Actors Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild estimate there are more than 20,000 union actors in the city without jobs. Their task is made more difficult by new rules which open many auditions to non-union actors who have logged enough hours on stage. This group swells the pool to around 25,000 hungry thespians.”To make it here, you have to get a plan,” say Susan Levin, standing about 30 minutes from the start of the queue “I don’t just concentrate on the big shows I audition in New York for regional shows as well. “All I had was $4, which is just what the photos cost.”Before Phifer got to see Spike Lee, a casting associate picked him out of the queue and the rest is the first chapter of a Hollywood biography that by this Christmas will include three movies and a TV special.

The plot, in fact, like so much else here, is a double one. How they respond to this depends on their confidence.’Some people are predisposed to lack confidence in the face of chaos,’ he says. It is also because the man who did more than anybody to win the vote for them – and who therefore staked a claim for a more heavyweight role in Labour policy-making – is not himself a full-hearted moderniser.Mr Smith described Prescott’s speech as ‘brilliant’ and his standing in the party and the country took as big a stride as the leader’s.

Most of the problems alluded to by the Communist Party chief, who is also China’s President, have been in evidence for well over a year, but a high-profile official campaign to improve peasants’ lifestyles has so far had limited success.China’s 900 million farmers, who were among the first to benefit from economic reform in the early 1980s, when they were allowed to take control of their land and sell produce on the open market, now find themselves rapidly slipping behind the fast-growing urban regions.This wealth gap has been exacerbated by extortionate and arbitrary taxes levied on farmers by local authorities desperate to raise funds to invest in the speculative real-estate and business ventures that have sprung up with the economic reforms.The most widespread source of rural misery has been the practice of using worthless IOUs to pay for the proportion of staple crops still sold to the state under the agricultural quota system.

First we must have independence, then democracy.’The new constitution, based on a mix of European models, envisages a centralised presidential system, as well as strict separation of Islam and the state.President Karimov, a trim, sharp-witted and restless man in his early fifties, frequently addresses the Uzbek people on television to call on them to unite behind him as he sets up the new state.Many people, especially in the nervous Russian community, appreciate the fact that Mr Karimov has kept Uzbekistan working efficiently and on a short leash.But opposition meetings are effectively banned and – although Mr Karimov won a presidential election last December – diplomats are uneasy about Uzbekistan being ruled by unrelenting ex-Communists.. A good friend said it was the only supermarket she knew that she put lipstick on for. The only real question, which has been obscured by the black-and-white presentation of the struggle at Westminster, is whether Britain walks off the crumbling Maastricht stage now, or whether we agree to stick with the formalities of the Maastricht process while seeking to reshape Europe on better and more up-to-date lines as soon as the ratification phase is over – assuming that the Danes do not reject it anyway on 18 May.It is a nice point of diplomatic judgement. The decision could lead to scores of similar claims.
The 1991 Criminal Justice Act means parents or legal guardians can be held liable for the actions of people in their care.The authority argued it was not to blame for the destruction caused by a 16-year-old boy who was supposed to be under supervision in a council home.But magistrates disagreed and ordered the authority to pay half the cost of the total damage to the owners of the stolen cars.

The fact is that Sir Simon’s application is seriously defective, particularly in its treatment of environmental questions, and the presentation of his case at the meeting in Presteigne on 19 April produced a hostile reaction from an audience made up almost entirely from the immediate area.

As the trade deadline nears, it made me think back in time to all those trades that were made, and some that weren’t, that have shaped the San Diego Padres as we know them now.What trades could have made the Padres into a World Series contending team?I know as fans we always say, “what might have been,” or “what could have been,” especially when we look back at trades not made or trades that never should have been made.So, I figured, why not take a look back at some of the ones that will trigger a lot of memories and make a lot of fans, not just of the Padres, say “Oh yeah, I remember that one.”.

For the West, the whole issue remains an embarrassment, and a reminder of how little it was ready to do a few years ago, when more decisive action might have prevented the massacres from taking place.Prospects: Bosnia now enjoys a kind of peace, but this may prove to be poisoned. The bloodshed and violence of the past three years, followed by the Dayton divisions, mean this will remain the most unstable region in Europe. It seems inevitable that the injustices of today will re-explode in just a few years’ time.Both for the Serbs and the Croats, the motto of “might is right” has proved deadly accurate in the past four years. It seems unrealistic to hope that this lesson will go unheeded in the future.
When the terrorism begins, people will shake their heads and wonder why.Has the dream turned sour in South Africa?The plot: South Africa is lurching, steadily if not faultingly, towards normality and integration. But it has discovered along the way that the road to reconciliation can be a highway of hazards.The economy is growing rapidly, but violent crime is tearing at society, both black and white. In the first seven months of 1995, more than 1 million serious crimes were reported, including 10,000 murders, about one every 29 minutes. The crime wave is beginning to undermine investor confidence in South Africa’s “miracle transformation”. Many English-speaking white professionals are emigrating to safer climes, taking their badly needed skills with them.The characters: crime is but a nasty symptom of a country and society in transition. Individuals and groups are struggling to come to terms with the changes brought by the advent of black rule – Afrikaners with having lost their position of privilege, black South Africans with the realisation that governing a country is a difficult business.
Many blacks have been forced to face up to the harsh reality that the end of apartheid did not mean sudden material improvements in their lives. The concept of a “rainbow nation” exists only in sports and in the world of advertising. Whites and blacks still have a great mistrust of each other.Prospects: these divisions may deepen in a few short weeks, when a Truth Commission begins exhuming apartheid-era crimes. Although the commission can grant amnesty to all who come clean about their old misdeeds, conservative whites believe the past is better forgotten and forgiven without the theatricals.
The black majority, however, feels strongly that there can be no reconciliation without discussion of past crimes.Another potential focus for trouble is General Magnus Malan, a former defence minister who is due to go on trial in March along with 10 fellow senior officers for 13 apartheid-era murders. He has become a rallying point for those opposed to dredging up the past.But the legacies of the past are still alive and killing in the KwaZulu- Natal province, where black-on-black political violence claims scores of victims every month.Is North Korea really dangerous?The plot: since the end of the Cold War, North Korea’s isolation has been unique. Cut off by its former patrons, China and Russia, it sticks stubbornly to the Stalinist path. The ruling Workers’ Party has no rivals, and about one in 10 of the population belongs to it. There is no freedom of speech or information or anything else.
An analysis of the delicate balance between the billions of neurons in our skulls, and the need to supply the axons (which connect them like cables) with blood and fatty insulation shows we can only improve our data processing ability by 20 per cent at most. The BT research, published in New Scientist, found that to expand our thinking ability, the 100 billion neurons in the brain would have to be larger, so they could pass signals more quickly. But that would in turn demand a greater blood supply – which, given the constricted size of the brain cavity, could only be achieved by limiting the growth of the neurons.
A larger skull might allow both more neurons and a bigger blood supply, but transmission of data would be slower.. An American-style “zero tolerance” anti crime initiative in Scotland was yesterday hailed a success by police chiefs who said it had helped cut offences in the force region to their lowest level in 15 years. For the past three months Strathclyde Police has been clamping down on minor crimes in the belief that this will reduce the number of more serious offences and reduce public fear.
During the first stage of the “Spotlight” initiative more than 200,000 extra police hours were spent on the streets.
During the offensive, 12 offences were spotlighted. Since the start of the scheme crimes of violence, indecency, dishonesty, car theft, and vandalism were down but crime covering drugs, obstructing police and overall nuisance rose.. Scientists have taken a giant leap for gastronomy by growing the highly prized golden chantrelle wild mushroom in a greenhouse. Until now, the fungus has defied all attempts at cultivation and can only be harvested from pine forests. Large quantities are imported from the United States because it is a variety in decline throughout Europe. The team, led by Eric Danell from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, reported in the science journal Nature that they had transferred pine seedlings carrying the fungus into pots in March, 1995.
Five fruit-bodies emerged during the following spring and autumn.
The scientists believe their technique could be applied to other endangered species, such as Tricholoma matsutake, which is the most valuable mushroom in the world, costing about pounds 60 each.. Naomi Smith, the schoolgirl found murdered in a children’s park, had a crucial “DNA autograph” on her mutilated body, a jury heard yesterday. Tests showed that saliva found in a bite on 15-year-old Naomi’s body fitted the DNA profile of Edwin Hopkins, 20, Birmingham Crown Court was told. Mr Hopkins had an “incredibly rare” DNA profile found only in one in every 250 million people, said Colman Treacy QC, for the prosecution.
His teeth were also a perfect match for the bite mark – and his sister, Julie, gave police vital evidence about his whereabouts on the night of Naomi’s death, said Mr Treacy as he outlined the prosecution case to the jury of six men and six women. Mr Hopkins, of Ansley Common, near Nuneaton, Warwickshire, denies murder. Naomi vanished after popping out to post a letter in her home village of Ansley Common in September 1995. Her throat had been cut and she had been sexually assaulted.
“It was probably better than if the killer had left his autograph,” Mr Treacy said. “Because what was found in the area around the breast provides some of the most valuable evidence for the prosecution in this case.” The trial continues..
The Conservative Party’s poster campaign featuring the “demon eyes” has beaten Wonderbra to win the latest “most talked about advert” accolade, a survey revealed yesterday. The pre-election campaign, devised by the M&C Saatchi agency, gained more national press coverage than any other promotion in the last three years. The advertisements, which included pictures of the Labour leader Tony Blair with superimposed red eyes, have topped the poll. Wonderbra was second and Labour’s “Same Old Tory Lies” campaign came sixth.
Martin Loat, managing director of Propeller Marketing Communications, which conducted the survey, said: “Like it or loathe it, the Demon Eyes icon was a stunning advertising image that captured the public imagination.”. Iris Bentley, who campaigned tirelessly to clear the name of her brother Derek, hanged for the murder of a policeman in 1953, has died.
