• Cry-Baby with host Traci Lords at Hollywood Blvd
  Friday, March 12, 2010
  The Hollywood Cinemas once again bring you not only great entertainment but visits with the actors that made the films iconic movies! Cry-Baby Live in Person: Traci Lords! This event will be held at Hollywood Blvd in Woodridge only. Hollywood Blvd in Woodridge Friday, March 12th shows at 7:00 & 9:00 - (Tickets) Hollywood Collector’s Show Saturday, March 13 & Sunday March 14 At the Rosemont Hotel @ O'Hare www.hollywoodcelebritiesshow.com Traci Lords will be available for personal meet & greets with autographs at Hollywood Blvd. Traci Lords: a study of a determined and complex woman with a very controversial background. An incredibly developed, full-figured girl at a young age, she easily duped photographers, producers and directors (with the help of a false birth certificate and driver's license). Her stage name is said to be in tribute to Katharine Hepburn's character ‘Tracy Lord’ from “The Philadelphia Story” (the same character played by Grace Kelly in “High Society Stating she was 20 rather than 15, modeling for adult magazines soon led to adult films culminating in her arrest by FBI agents in 1986 when it was discovered she was underage. This meant that any films with her in them were illegal to rent or buy, and video stores around the country rushed to remove them. After her exile from adult films, she began to resurrect her life and fulfill her lifelong ambition to star in mainstream films. In 1987 she enrolled in the Lee Strasberg acting school, began voice lessons and built on her natural acting talents. Her first mainstream came in “Not of This Earth” (1988), a remake of the classic Roger Corman sci-fi film from the 1950s. Then in 1990, she appeared in John Waters' “Cry-Baby”, playing the role of Wanda Woodward. Other movies on her resume include “Tommyknockers”, “Black Mask 2: City of Masks”, the classic sci-fi vampire film “Blade”. She won a Best Actress Award at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival for her role in “Chump Change”. She has also made cameo appearances in “Serial Mom”, “Nowhere”, “Virtuosity” and "Panic Button". Throughout the 1990s her continued hard work and persistence got her the reputation as a reliable and respected actress, in addition to being a singer and an advocate for gay rights. Her recurring role in early 1995 as a sneering sociopath, Rikki, on "Melrose Place" was critically acclaimed and landed her more roles in other movies, playing villains and psychotic characters. She also guest-starred in a number of other TV shows ranging from "Married with Children", "Roseanne", "MacGyver", "Nash Bridges", “Highlander: The Series”, “Tales from the Crypt”, “Hercules”, “Gilmore Girls”, “Profiler” and “Will & Grace” among others. She was almost cast as the female lead in Martin Scorsese's “Casino”, but lost out to Sharon Stone who went on to win a Golden Globe for the role. From late in 2000 to 2001, Lords appeared in the Francis Ford Coppola produced sci-fi series “First Wave”, playing Jordan Radcliffe, the newest member of a group called “Raven Nation” that combats extraterrestrial aliens. Her autobiography, “Traci Lords: Underneath It All” made the New York Times bestseller list. In December 2003, Lords wrote and directed a short film with Fox Searchlight entitled “Sweet Pea” released and shown at film festivals in 2005. The film is loosely inspired by an experience recounted in her autobiography: A teenage girl finds herself overcome with doubt after being raped by her boyfriend. While Lords now decries the adult film industry, she continues to use the stage name she gave herself as a minor, and ultimately made her legal name. She said, "I chose to stop running from it. Instead, I won it, legally changing my name to Traci Elizabeth Lords. That's who I was, and that's who I was going to be." Lords stated she is not trying to deny her past, telling Oprah Winfrey: "I found you can run but you cannot hide." Lords is married and has a 2 year old son, Joseph Gunnar. Lords' most recent film appearance was in last year’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”. Upcoming film works are “Angels There Attend” (in production), “Au Pair”, “Kansas” (post-production for 2010 release) and “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” (just completed). How our celebrity events work Our very popular series of celebrity events often includes a table in our lobby where you can briefly meet the stars of some of your favorite films, get their autograph or a posed photograph with them. These events are very expensive to stage and most celebrities are paid for their personal appearances including all first class expenses. These events are often heavily attended and we always suggest that you arrive early. Celebrities are generally scheduled to arrive one hour prior to the first scheduled showing of their film. They may or may not be available to the public after a screening so we always suggest that you purchase a souvenir and meet them prior to entering the auditorium. Your early arrival also helps ensure that you can enjoy the widest selection of seats when you watch the film. You must have purchased an admission ticket to get in the line to meet our guests. For some extraordinarily popular events we have to run select films in more than one auditorium, so our guests will appear in person in the largest auditorium and we will feed live video of their greeting into secondary auditoriums before we roll the film. Seating is always on a first come first serve basis so you may or may not be in the same auditorium as our guest during an interview, although you will not miss anything when viewing it live on our big screen in an adjacent auditorium. If space permits, there may be standing room during an interview. Depending on the length of the line and scheduling, our guest may or may not entertain questions from the audience and introduce the film from the stage. This is entirely discretionary and varies from event to event. Some of our guests make an extraordinary effort to ensure a great experience and are very talkative, although this may back up the seating for later show times. Sometimes the lines to get autographs and pictures are so long that timing will not permit the actor to make an in-theater appearance at all. We try to please as many people as possible and hate to turn away people from the line or the shows, although this will at times wreak havoc with the show schedule. In most instances, there is a charge per autograph, whether it is a photograph or item from here at the table or something that you bring with you. You must have purchased an autograph in order to get a posed photograph with our guest. In some cases, we do have a professional photographer set up to take a picture with our guest, also at a nominal charge, and in those instances you may only get a posed photograph through this system. We do take credit cards and there is also an ATM on premise. You may always take a candid unposed photograph of our guest from elsewhere in the lobby at no additional charge.

• The Exorcist with host Linda Blair at Hollywood Blvd
  Saturday, March 13, 2010
  The Hollywood cinemas once again bring you not only great entertainment, but visits with the actors that make great film making into iconic movies. The Exorcist Live in Person: Linda Blair! This event will be held at Hollywood Blvd in Woodridge only. Hollywood Blvd Saturday, March 13th shows at 7:00 & 9:00 - (Tickets) Hollywood Collector’s Show Saturday, March 13 & Sunday March 14 At the Rosemont Hotel @ O'Hare www.hollywoodcelebritiesshow.com Linda Blair will be available for personal meet & greets with autographs at Hollywood Blvd. From the age of six, Linda Blair was in the spotlight both as a model and as an aspiring actress. She started her career with commercials and appeared in over 75 by the age of 12. In 1973 Linda got her big break starring in the classic horror film, “The Exorcist” after winning out over six hundred others who auditioned for the role of the demon possessed child. The film is based on William Peter Blatty's best-selling novel, The Exorcist and was directed by William Friedkin who had recently won an Oscar for directing “The French Connection”. The cast also included Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max Von Sydow and Kitty Winn. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Blair for Best Supporting Actress; and she won both a Golden Globe and People's Choice Award for that role. She and her family received death threats after “The Exorcist” premiered and Warner Brothers actually had to hire the police to live with the Blair family for the next 6 months. The culprit was never caught. She ranked #9 on the American Film Institute's villains list of the 100 years of The Greatest Screen Heroes and Villains and was #36 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Kid Stars". Following the success of “The Exorcist” Blair appeared in several controversial television and movie roles including “Born Innocent” and “Sarah T...Portrait Of a Teenage Alcoholic” which were the highest rated made-for-TV movies the years they were originally broadcast. She was also featured in the hugely successful films “Airport 1975” and the disco cult classic “Roller Boogie”. She was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Actress for her performance in the Exorcist sequel, “Exorcist II: The Heretic” which co-starred Richard Burton. Linda Blair continues her career with appearances in the British teen show “L.A. 7” featuring the pop group S Club 7 and continues to act in both television independent movies. She also hosted Fox Family's series “Scariest Places On Earth”. One of Blair's latest appearances occurred in the Supernatural episode “The Usual Suspects” where a brief homage was paid to her Exorcist fame in the closing dialogue of the episode, when Dean Winchester says that she "looks familiar" and expresses a craving for pea soup. Blair’s personal accomplishments include establishing “The Linda Blair World Heart Foundation”, which advocates the rescue and adoption of animals. She has won numerous awards for her work as an animal rights activist as well as lending her name to help stop animal abuse all over the world.

Hollywood Palms Saturday, March 13th shows at 8:00PM - (Tickets) Hollywood Collector’s Show Saturday, March 13 & Sunday March 14 At the Rosemont Hotel @ O'Hare www.hollywoodcelebritiesshow.com Singular entertainment legend and iconic television heart throb Richard Chamberlain rolls into Hollywood Palms to host screenings of “The Four Muskeeters” for one night only on Saturday March 13th. Chamberlain will be forever remembered in the title role of the mega hit TV series "Dr. Kildare" which literally made him a household name overnight. He played the popular physician for five years and at the height of his fame was receiving over 12,000 fan letters a week, far more than even Clark Gable ever received. This 6 time Golden Globe nominnee has won the coveted award 3 times and also holds a unique position within the world of mini-series by having starred in some of the most dramatic and powerful televion productions ever. Over two decades, Chamberlain has starred in six of the most highly acclaimed, highly watched mini-series in the history of televsion, "Wallenberg", "The Bourne Idetnity", "Dream West", "Centenial" and most famously "Shogun" and “The Thornbirds”. These roles have garnered 4 Emmy nominations and secured his position of one of the great ladies men of all times. Chamberlain was born in Beverly Hillsand first aspired to become an artist, switching gears when he scored successfully in college theatrical productions followed by a tour of duty in the U.S. Army where he gained his sergeant’s stripes in Korea. He was a founding actor in the acclaimed Los Angeles repreatory group, “Company of Angels”, and was cast in a dozen television programs until he landed the lead in the ill-fated series pilot "Paradise Kid”. After his Kiladare success Chamberain decided to tackle more challenging classic roles such as “Hamlet” on stage and the cunning Octavius opposite Charlton Hestion in “Julius Caesar” and “The Towering Inferno” amoing many others. Chamberlain’s most notable film role was in the swashbuckling extravaganzas based on Dumas’ classic " The Three Musketeers” where he portrayed the elegant, womanizing, priestly musketeer ‘Aramis’. He played the same flamboyant character in the films’ two sequels, " The Four Musketeers " and "The Return of the Musketeers ", which reunited him with Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Michael York and Oliver Reed. Chamberlain also starred to critical acclaim in productions such as Edmond Rostand’s "Cyrano de Bergerac", "The Lady’s Not for Burning" for American Public Television with Eileen Atkins, in the musical film "The Slipper and “The Man the Iron Mask." He has devoted a great deal of his time to musical stage tours as Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady", Captain Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" and Ebenezer Scrooge in "Scrooge: The Musical” as well as the lead in the touring company of Monty Python’s “Spamalot”. His most recent television work has been on the BBC “Hustle” series and guest roles on”Will & Grace”, “Nip Tuck” and “Desperate Housewives” and the very successful Adam Sandler film “I now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” playing gay characters on screen as a nod to the release of his coming-out biography “Shattered Love: A Memoir.” Chamberlain, a resident of Hawaii with his partner of 25 years has also returned to painting and shows his work at the Celebrity Gallery in Wailea, Maui.

• West Side Story Reunion w/ Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, & Russ Tamblyn
  Saturday, April 10, 2010
  The Hollywood Cinemas once again bring you not only great entertainment but visits with the actors that made the movies iconic masterpieces! Winner of 10 Academy Awards: West Side Story! Experience “West Side Story” like never before at Hollywood Cinemas with special guests Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, & Russ Tamblyn! The cast will be introducing each screening with fond memories and stories from the making of “West Side Story”. They will also be available before each screening for personal meet & greet and signing. Hollywood Palms Cinema in Naperville Saturday, April 10th shows at 4:00 & 6:00 & 8:00 - (Tickets) Hollywood Blvd Cinema in Woodridge Sunday, April 11th shows at 3:00 & 4:30 & 6:00 - (Tickets) “West Side Story” is an adaptation of the Jerome Robbins Broadway musical of the same name, which had run on Broadway for 2 years and over 700 performances. The play was adapted from Shakespeare's play, “Romeo and Juliet”, and set in modern day New York. “West Side Story’s” Broadway Director, Jerome Robbins, initially refused to work on the film unless he could direct it. The Producer was nervous about handing the reins entirely over to Robbins, who had never made a film before, so he enlisted Robert Wise to direct the drama while Robbins would handle the singing and dancing sequences. Robbins rehearsed with the dancers for three months before shooting began, but once location shooting began he kept revising and revising his original choreography. The dancers all claimed that they had never worked so hard on a dance piece, and most of them at one point or another sustained injuries during shooting. Robbins' propensity for filming and re-filming scenes in his quest for perfection led to the movie going over budget and falling behind schedule. During the entire “West Side Story” production, the actors wore out 200 pairs of shoes, applied more than 100lbs of make-up, split 27 pairs of pants and performed in 30 different recording sessions. After long rehearsals, shooting, and grueling editing, the film took a total of 2 years of production before it hit the big screen. He was fired when shooting was about 60% finished and Wise completed the filming alone. Wise went on to win the Oscar for directing this film (which was shared with Robbins), winning a total of 4 out of his 7 Oscar nominations! Wise also won an Oscar for his work on the iconic musical, “The Sound of Music. Casting “West Side Story” wasn’t an easy task. Elvis Presley was originally approached for the lead role of Tony. His manager, Colonel Parker, strongly believed the role to be wrong for Elvis and made him decline in favor of other movie musicals. When the movie became a hit and earned 10 Oscars, Elvis later regretted having given up the part. He was only one of many young stars that were in consideration for the role of Tony. Several Hollywood men auditioned for the part, including Warren Beatty, Tab Hunter, Anthony Perkins, Russ Tamblyn, Burt Reynolds, Troy Donahue, Bobby Darin, Richard Chamberlain, and Gary Lockwood. After countless auditions and offers were made, the producers settled on their so-called final five: Warren Beatty, Anthony Perkins, Russ Tamblyn, Troy Donahue, and Richard Beymer. Although Perkins was 28 before filming began, his boyish looks and Broadway resume seemed to make him a prime contender for the role. Wise originally chose Beatty for the role, figuring that youth was more important than experience. Ultimately, the former child actor Beymer (the most unlikely of the candidates) won the part of Tony. Having been invited for several callbacks, Tamblyn impressed the producers and was given the role of Riff. In regards to the female roles, the producers had not originally thought of Natalie Wood for the role of Maria. She was filming “Splendor in the Grass” with Warren Beatty and was romantically involved with him off-screen. When Beatty went to screen test for the role of Tony, Wood read opposite him as Maria as a favor because she had been practicing with him. The producers fell in love with the idea of Wood as Maria but did not cast Beatty. Rita Moreno is one of the very few (and very first) performers to win an Emmy, a Tony, and a Grammy as well as the first Hispanic to win an Academy Award. Of the three people who won all five major entertainment awards (Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, Tony and Grammy), Moreno won all five awards in the shortest amount of time (within 16 years). She also won the Presidential Medal of Freedom presented by George W. Bush. Moreno however, wasn’t always so blessed. While filming her final scene in West Side Story in which her character "Anita" is harassed and nearly raped by New York street gang members, "the Jets", she was reduced to tears, as it brought flashbacks of similar real life childhood experiences. Nevertheless, Moreno has triumphed in her career also appearing in such classic pictures as “Singin' in the Rain” and “The King and I”. She was awarded the Joseph Jefferson Award for her role in Tennessee Williams' "The Rose Tattoo" at the Ivanhoe Theatre here in Chicago. Moreno was thrilled when her star was unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She fell on top of it, openly and uncontrollably weeping. She later commented, "I had been dreaming of this day since I was six!" She is a key spokesperson in raising the awareness of osteoporosis and in 2000, she was presented with an award from the National Osteoporosis Foundation for her outstanding work with the organization. George Chakiris made his film debut at the age of 12 singing in the chorus of film “Song of Love”. Later he started his acting/dancing career appearing in musicals with Marilyn Monroe such as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", the classic holiday film – “White Christmas”, “The Girl Rush”, “There's No Business Like Show Business”, “Brigadoon”, and “Meet Me in Las Vegas”. He traveled to New York hoping for his Broadway break. Hearing that Jerome Robbins was casting the London Company of "West Side Story", he auditioned and was awarded the co-starring role of “Riff”. He played the part for almost two years on the West End stage before acting, singing and dancing as Bernardo and earning him a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Since then, he starred in a succession of films, including “Diamond Head” with Charlton Heston, “La ragazza di Bube” with Claudia Cardinale, “Les demoiselles de Rochefort” with Catherine Deneuve and Gene Kelly, and “The Big Cube” with Lana Turner. He is one of the most traveled stars in motion pictures, having been to such locations as Hawaii, Japan, Mexico, Italy, England, Spain, and France. George lives in Los Angeles and is also a very successful designer of hand crafted jewelry for his popular George Chakiris Collection. Russ Tamblyn was groomed early for stardom. Discovered at age ten by actor Lloyd Bridges for the play "Stone Jungle", Tamblyn was soon performing on radio and in L.A.-based musical reviews. Billed as "Rusty Tamblyn", his first film role was “The Boy with Green Hair” starring another child actor, Dean Stockwell. Having taken up dancing and acrobatics from the age of 6, Tamblyn marked his abilities with his very first TV appearance on the "The Ed Sullivan Show." He was put under contract by an eager MGM who saw his potential as a juvenile actor. Featured in the popular original, “Father of the Bride”, and its sequel, “Father's Little Dividend”, before taking off in musical films, he demonstrated exceptional athleticism in one of MGM's best, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”. He served as a choreographer for Elvis Presley in 1957's “Jailhouse Rock”. He went on to starring roles in a series of films including “Cimarron” with Glenn Ford, “How the West was Won” with our recent guest Debbie Reynolds and “Peyton Place” for which he was 1st nominated for an Oscar. Of course in the character of “Riff” in “West Side Story” he was the knife-welding leader of the Jets "till his last dying day" where he received his 2nd Oscar nomination. He also won a Golden Globe Award in 1956 and has appeared in many television roles including Fame Quantum Leap, Nash Bridges, Babylon 5 and most notably as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in the popular TV cult series, Twin Peaks. Recently Tamblyn toured throughout the world with folk star Neil Young and his critically acclaimed environmental rock-novel concert , Greendale, acting as the director, choreographer and a featured character. Tamblyn has also lately taken on choreographic and managing duties for his actress/daughter Amber Tamblyn and her "Joan of Arcadia" fame.
