You just never know what you are going to learn each day. Like last Thursday… when CSI Director of Photography James L. Carter told us that after someone is dead a certain period of time, the color in their eyes fades away. Consequently, actors have to wear contact lenses to give their eyes that “dead” look.
Who knew?
That’s not all he told us. We found out the Brian DePalma that no one knows. We found out how persistence is important, and how it paid off for him. And we talked about how verrrrry cold those metal tables are in the morgue.
Here’s a link to the interview, if you missed it… and here’s a link to his Cinematography demo reels. THESE you must watch! James is up for an Emmy for CSI… and we’re hoping he takes home the statue.
Tomorrow I’ll be hosting Linda McCoy-Murray. She’s the widow of Pulitzer-winning columnist Jim Murray, and a sports queen in her own right. She also founded and is CEO of the Jim Murray Memorial Foundation… which has given thousands of dollars in scholarships for print journalists. We’ll talk about the state of print journalism, women in sports, and the irrepressible Mamie Van Doren! What??
I hope you’ll join us for the show. It airs on Thursdays at 1pm PT/4pm ET and if you go to the show website, you just need to click the big red button to get to the right place.
We’re working on the schedule now for upcoming shows and I’m just about confirmed with the guy who teaches the FBI how to negotiate with hostage takers. We’ve got the lovely Patricia Kennedy due up on September 10th, and many more surprises in store!
