Veteran actress Eileen Brennan, nominated for an Academy Award for "Private Benjamin," died Sunday at the age of 80. The stage, television, and film star passed away after battling bladder cancer.
Brennan started out in the theater, originating the role of Irene Molloy in Broadway's "Hello, Dolly!" From there, she graduated to feature films, becoming a prolific and recognizable supporting actress in movies like "The Last Picture Show"; "The Sting," opposite Paul Newman; and "Clue," as Mrs. Peacock. Director Peter Bogdanovich was a big fan of Brennan's, casting her in "Last Picture Show," "Daisy Miller," and "At Long Last Love."
Her most acclaimed role came in 1980's "Private Benjamin," in which she played the stern, tough-talking captain of Goldie Hawn's character. Brennan received an Oscar nomination, and later, when she reprised the part in the TV adaptation, won a Golden Globe and Emmy.
In 1982, after dining with Hawn, Brennan was hit by a car.

Dear Michael:i'm a huge fan of your column. It's one of my favorite parts of Back Stage. I love your blunt, practical advice, and I was hoping you could help ease my worries about a probably insignificant issue.I'm an amateur actress who just graduated from high school. I haven't performed in anything beyond the high school/community theater/church play range yet. I live in a very small area and have attended only a handful of professional or regional theater and college auditions in larger cities, about an hour or two away from my hometown. I've been told by local voice and theater teachers that I have a "classic, old-fashioned" look (I have bobbed blond hair, brown eyes, very fair skin, and I'm tall and average weight). I have a lyric soprano voice that fits very naturally into the musical ingénue/idealist roles. However, outside of school, I have...

*Updated with artwork and some extras detail. Tvshowsondvd.com are showing the cover art for the series and report that part of the extras will be an assortment of featurettes and audio commentaries on selected episodes by Richter. They also say that the Srp will be 39.99*
Now this makes me a happy happy boy. I don’t know how many of you out there saw this series but former Conan O’Brien sidekick Andy Richter left that show to pursue his solo career as a comedian. What resulted was this TV sitcom that was as absurd and surreal as it was hilarious. The show was about a lowly office worker who gets through the day dreaming about the object of his affection and his interaction with coworkers. Trust me it’s funnier than I describe it. Sadly viewers didn’t think so and the show only lasted a scant 19 episodes...
