Wonder Woman was portrayed by iconic actor Linda Carter in the 1970s. But before Carter officially secured the role, David Bowie’s ex-wife claimed that she tried out for the part. According to her, the experience was so unpleasant that it was a reminder of everything she hated about Hollywood.

David Bowie’s first wife, Angie, had the opportunity to portray the iconic superhero back in the 1970s. In Bowie’s version of events, even though she was asked to audition for the character, the project’s producers didn’t plan on hiring her. Bowie’s Wonder Woman rehearsal was just a means to an end.
“I tried out but it was already given to Lynda Carter; the agent was one of the producers and Lynda was his girlfriend.

Television shows are, inevitably, made up of parts. On the surface, there’s the great, overarching story that begins with the first shot and ends with the last. But, within that narrative, there are small parts: the series, and the episode. It is the smallest of these sub-divisions, the episode, that is most intriguing. A truly brilliant episode can bridge the gap between cinema and TV. It can refine the essence of the best shows into a single, self-contained moment. At its most potent, a perfect episode is like mainlining all the myriad ingredients of prestige television in a single sitting.
But great TV shows do not necessarily beget great episodes and, conversely, great episodes are not always the sign of a great show. The start of 2023 has been dominated by discussions about The Last of Us, a perfectly good series including one stunning episode. In it, two supporting characters...

Five years after the release of David Bowie’s first masterpiece, Hunky Dory — which replaced the perception of Bowie as a one-hit space oddity with the idea Bowie as an ever-ch-ch-changing moon-age messiah — he offered up some characteristic mythmaking. In a 1976 Melody Maker interview, Bowie claimed Hunky Dory‘s “Song for Bob Dylan,” a piss-take extraordinaire that Bowie had shrugged off by saying it was how “some” people saw Dylan, in fact, “laid out what I wanted to do in rock.” “It was at that period that I said, ‘Ok,...

In 1971, David Bowie was at a crossroads. His third album, The Man Who Sold the World, hadn’t been received as the star-making breakthrough he thought it would be. His wife, Angela, was getting impatient regarding his lack of fame and fortune. The singles has barely charted. It had stiffed commercially in both the U.K. and the U.S., though it was beginning to attract a little critical attention in the States. So his label, Mercury, decided to send Bowie on a promotional tour of America. He wasn’t...

David Bowie’s life and career are memorialized in the new trailer for “Stardust” starring Johnny Flynn from IFC Films.
“Stardust” will examine the life of Bowie before he became one of the most iconic artists in the history of music. The drama is set in 1971, when Bowie was 24 and journeying on his first trip to America with his struggling publicist Ron Oberman, played by Marc Maron. During this period, Bowie created his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust, a turning point in his legendary career that marked the beginning of his meteoric rise.
Johnny Flynn, singer and songwriter for the band Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit, will portray Bowie. His previous acting credits include Autumn de Wilde’s “Emma” from earlier this year, “Beast” in 2017, the 2014 drama “Clouds of Sils Maria” and more.

"All it takes is one believer to change the world, and we got two!" IFC Films has unveiled the first official trailer for Stardust, taking us back in time to the 1970s to meet a young rock star in the making. The film chronicles the young David Bowie's first visit to the U.S. in 1971 - a trip that inspired the invention of his iconic alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Stardust is a David Bowie movie that stars musician and actor Johnny Flynn as Bowie, with Marc Maron playing Mercury Records publicist Ron Oberman and Jena Malone as Angie Bowie, his partner at the time. It’s not a cradle-to-grave biopic – instead, it’s a slice of his life in 1971 at the age of 24 during a publicity tour where he was inspired to create the Ziggy persona. The cast includes Aaron Poole, Paulino Nunes, and Anthony Flanagan. There's also an...

In “Stardust,” a movie that dramatizes David Bowie’s road trip across America in 1971, David (Johnny Flynn), several years into his career but still, in terms of image, a bit of a leftover hippie rocker, finds himself performing at a convention of vacuum-cleaner salesmen. It seems that his manager back in England had failed to secure him a U.S. work visa. So even though he’s supposed to be touring the States, he can’t give concerts, can’t perform on television or radio. But his publicist from Mercury Records, Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), has lined up press interviews and figured out how to sneak in some third-rate gigs.
“Stardust” opens with a title that says “What follows is (mostly) fiction,” and if you want to know how that rather inauspicious promise translates, it’s there in the moment when Bowie gets up in front of the vacuum salesmen and says,...

Strap on your safety helmets, because you're going to want to run your head straight into a wall after this. On the U.K.'s Celebrity Big Brother, one of the contestants, Angie Bowie, ex-wife of late, great starman David Bowie, had just learned of her ex-husband's death. She was understandably distraught, which perhaps led her to make the ill-advised decision to relay the news to fellow housemate Tiffany "New York" Pollard, of VH1 fame. When Angie tells her, "David's dead," however, Tiffany assumes this to mean their other surreal-life celebrity housemate David Gest, who is actually just napping upstairs, and promptly begins to lose her mind. Pandemonium ensues as she spreads the misinformation like the town Drudge Report.A lot of viewers are upset at Celebrity Big Brother (including one Piers Morgan) for what they see as the show exploiting Bowie's death for ratings, even though Angie Bowie consented...

The Voice coach shared a series of photos of herself with Bowie to Instagram, including an old image of the British rocker posing with Stefani's band, No Doubt. In the group picture, Stefani and bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young flank Bowie on both sides. The rock icon beamed in a white tunic and matching pants. Stefani, now 46, posed alone with Bowie in two other photos posted Monday. Wearing a three-piece suit in one, Bowie held tight to the blonde singer.

David Bowie was one of the most beloved - and recognized - stars in the world, but off the stage, he lived a quiet and low-key life with his family in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. "He was a very reserved person, very kind in the eyes," Danielo Durante, who owns local Italian café Bottega Falai, tells People about Bowie, who died Sunday from cancer at the age of 69. "He would sit here and write, scribbling away in a little notebook. Considering how he was singing and acting on stage - a rockstar, you know - he was a normal guy." Over the years,...

1. It's always hard to write on deadline, of course, and it's possible that, if the New York Times didn't have a Bowie obituary ready, poor Jon Pareles was up all night writing one. But one of his editors should have made sure that the words gay or bisexual appeared in the piece that resulted. I'm sure David Bowie wasn't the first gay rocker, but he was the first male star to be open and matter-of-fact about the idea of sleeping with other men. He eventually got married, of course, to the formidable Angela Bowie, née Barnett*, but this part of his persona undoubtedly limited his appeal. One of the dirty little secrets of the 1960s was that sexism and homophobia were prevalent. Bowie forced the rock world to confront this part of the audience's life. It was not only brave, but done in such a matter-of-fact way that it carried...

I was gutted by the news shared by playwright/producer Jeff Cohen as he and I walked our dogs in Riverside Park early this morning. The Thin White Duke was no more. I struggled to understand the implications of losing a music hero. Rushing home, resigned to reality, I watched his two new videos, the one above and the ablum's title track which I featured on this website last week, both from his 28th studio album, ★(Blackstar), released this past week on January 8th, 2016, the date of Bowie's 69th birthday. As I watched "Lazarus" again, it all made sense.
"Lazarus" is clearly Bowie's epitaph, his final prophetic performance on this mortal coil...
Look up here / I'm in heaven I've got scars that can't be seen I've got drama that can't be stolen Everybody knows me now...
The coins on his eyes, the pallor of his skin, his frail body wrapped in a fashionalbe shroud.
