Reposting this for wildelangtry since LJ was being bratty about letting us make a sticky post of it:


As of recently, We have been on a massive search trying to relocate some “lost” footage of Lauren Lane’s work.

These include her giving an interview on Entertainment Tonight back in 1996, in one picture she is shown wearing a greyish dress suit and her hair in an updo.

Another is her appearance on the Regis and Kathie Lee show. This was dated on June 16th 1997. In that one, her hair is down and wears a cream/white colored shirt.

There is also record of her being on The Daily Show with either Jon Stewart, or his predecessor Craig Kilborn. The date for this appearance was on August 12th 1997. We haven’t seen any photos or clips of her in this, so we have no idea what she looks like.

Finally, there is the sort of “holy grail” of footages that we are looking for: Her appearance as a host on the CBS All American Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1997. She hosts with Daniel Davis at the Aloha Parade in Honolulu, Hawaii and is wearing a “speckled” white and black dress and wears sunglasses (its Hawaii after all! :) ) I, personally, was *THIS CLOSE* at obtaining this footage, but the UCLA archives do not loan their VHS tapes beyond their campus.

There is also the full episode of “Burke’s Law: Who killed Mr. Gameshow?” which she stared as Tanya, a gameshow showgirl, and a possibly a better version of “South Beach: Stake Out”, the 3rd episode of the series in which she starred as Brooke Wyatt.

Please send this to every Nanny, Lauren Lane, N/CC fan and get the word out so we obtain these bits of footage and make them available for the rest of the community to enjoy.

If you, or anyone you know, knows something about the whereabouts of these bits of footage or has any of these bits of footage to share, message me here or email me at broadwayfantome@gmail.com

Thank you! We really appreciate you helping us keeping some of this Nanny fandom alive :)

Decided to make one last post before I leave. Managed to find bigger photos of LL in HOSS

Can we just comment on this photo for awhile. I mean AY CARAMBA!!!

Me again. This time its DD affillated, as I found quite a hoard of pictures on a particular DD fan site that may/may not be familiar to many on here.

http://danieldavis.prv.pl/index.html

Its pretty self explanatory, 3 sections that take you to pictures of his TV, Film and I'm supposing some other bits and pieces of his Film/TV work as well. Enjoy!

Back again with another LL find. This time its a promotion for the Nanny in Argentina, and our lovely lady speaks a bit of Spanish ^-^ Enjoy!

Oh, and there seems to be more where that came from at this site here:

Just wanted to give credit where it is due :)

Hey everyone, another tidbit I found while rooting around for the rest of the videos. Not sure if this is common knowledge to anyone, but I thought it had some interesting tidbits on how LL was living while filming "Nanny" Enjoy!

Finally found some new material for you guys to sink your teeth into. This is the clip of Lauren Lane on Emeril Live. She doesn't cook with him, but does try his cooking and talks for a bit. ENJOY!

For Danny's second Scarecrow and Mrs. King ep, he played an entirely different character (lol pre-internet, 1980s casting thinking no one would notice). Unlike his previous episode, this one is actually one of my favorites of the entire series.

DD plays a neo-absurdist playwright who's in a relationship with a high profile scientist that the KGB has been trying to gain information from. His character, Tony Martinet, ends up being manipulated by the Russians who force him to drug his girlfriend for that info. This is a far more sympathetic role than his previous one was and he actually smiles quite a bit. :) 

( Image-heavy previews under the cutCollapse )

All 75 can be found here.

I recently completed my dvd collection for the first fannish love of my life, Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Though I was kinda aware that Danny did a couple eps for the show (both times as different characters), it's only been in the last year and a half I truly appreciated that fact. :-P Vigilante Mothers, his first episode and the season two finale, admittedly was never a favorite of mine during the heyday of my SMK fangirlishness, and it's still not, tbh, but in rewatching it again for the first time in years, I did find myself enjoying it a lot more than I once did just on account of DD's presence (and one scene in particular that I can't believe I didn't remember, omg).

I'm experiencing some technical difficulties getting the audio to match up with the video I tried to rip, but in the meantime, here are some screen caps to enjoy.

For this episode, he played Robert Castille, a rather unrepentant bad guy. His MO is to seduce women so that they will offer him access to information and materials he wants.

( Lots of caps beneath this cutCollapse )

All 45 caps I took can be found in this album. I'll try to have caps for All the World's a Stage (and hopefully properly functioning video for both eps) either later this evening or by tomorrow.

Hey everyone!

So in the midst of a moment of creativity and boredom, I made a CC and CC/N meme. It seemed like, at least to me, that many of their moments were very "meme worthy" and so I thought I could extend this bit of fun to all of you guys.

The only rules are to create a meme based off of CC/N, CC, Niles, or one of these two with another character. I've posted my own two bits to get it started:

*** small, possibly big update: If we get enough entries, there will be a prize involved ***

I don't know if anyone "follows" or "likes" Fran's new show Happily Divorced on their facebook, but almost every week they post something called a "Fashion Face Off" when people vote on the best costume Fran wears on an episode. I just realized today, while rewatching 2.26 "Fran gets Mugged" that one of the outfits looks almost exactly like a shirt CC wore in the last scene with a tied up Niles.



Possible CC reference? What do you think?

With permission from our mod...

A new community!!

Tis just about ready...

...first pic will probably be going up tomorrow!!


*click the pic to go to the comm*

A daily pic of our beloved Dame...

...because everybody ought to have a Dame.

So... our couple's first Valentine's Day together as a married couple...

...how do you think it went?

Was it nauseatingly romantic?

Was it a fiasco?

Did they do the romantic dinner, dancing and a movie??

Let's not forget, they were most likely parents at this point... or very near to being so... did they include the baby in their celebrations?

Did they even celerbate it?

Did they remember it was Valentine's Day?

Anything else come to mind?


I will admit... I dislike Valentine's Day. I find it extremely nauseating and, like Christmas, overly commercialized now. (Though, I LOVE Christmas - commercialism and all!) So, I can see CC being a little this way... even now that she and Niles are married. Not because she doesn't love him... but because she wouldn't need Valentine's Day to show him that. I can see CC, like I can see Niles, doing little things everyday to show each other how they feel. They wouldn't need Valentine's Day for that.


But even still... they would still be in that newlywed stage... so... would they do anything special for their first Valentine's Day as Mr & Mrs??

Hey everyone!

As some of you know, I will be going down to Austin in May to see our lovely blonde perform in Harvey. And I need some help from my fellow fans. Neither me nor my friend I am taking with me have ever been to Austin, and we need some suggestions on local things to do, explore, eat at, etc. I'm open to all suggestions there might be as I'm compiling a list of places and locations to check out when down there.

We'll be down there from the evening of May 13th til the morning of May 16th.

Just to shake things up a little bit around here, I thought maybe it might be fun to have a ficathon. For those of you who've never participated in one of these, they're pretty simple. People post prompts and writers respond with ficlets inspired by them.

--

Basic Guidelines:

1. This ficathon is open for any character or pairing from The Nanny.
2. One prompt per comment, please.
3. Prompts can be a word, a phrase, a brief idea, a song lyric, poetry, whatever...just something to spark the imagination of anyone who wants to write.
4. Any prompt can be filled more than once.
5. When fulfilling a prompt, please include characters and/or pairing, title, and rating (also any warnings if applicable) at the top of your reply to the prompt in question.

--

How to leave a prompt:

character(s) or pairing, your prompt

Examples:

Sara & C.C., best friends
C.C./Niles, she accepts one of his first four proposals
Fran/Danny, we are never, ever, ever getting back together
Niles, home

Hello, Hello everyone. Its the spam fairy again with a some more goodies. This time the tribute's to Lauren's lovely and hilarious sister, Kim Lane.

I managed to find a few goodies around the net that were not already on the LL fansite. The first one is a picture of the darling woman at a local event in TX. Not sure who is next to her, but I believe that is captioned on the site

http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/shared-blogs/austin/outandabout/upload/2009/05/diana_kennedy_a/diana4.JPG

I also found some of her poetry on edibleaustin.com. There's quite a few of them, so I've posted one of my favorite ones:

http://www.edibleaustin.com/content/component/content/article/35-summer-2009/408-edible-verse-in-the-kitchen

This is a small soundbyte of one of Kim's commentator pieces on NPR's All Things Considered. This soundbyte was made just a few days after 9/11, commenting on the usage of cell phones and how 9/11 has changed her perception of this "new technology. Its funny to hear her talk about cell phones like they were an optional item. Now we practically can't live without 'em.

And, maybe its just me, but her voice sounds eerily similar o someone else we know ;)

He'll be doing another reading for Project Shaw on the 28th February in NYC. This time it's Caesar and Cleopatra. Here's the link:  http://www.projectshaw.com/index.php?id=343

Perhaps someone can go and record? lol

This is torturing, why couldn't we have gotten this omg.
Here it is:


Before the script was changed because of Daniel Davis' prior commitment elsewhere, Niles and CC were caught in the limo. Well sorta. Fran and Val are in the kitchen and Fran is trying not to tell the secret about N/CC when they both overhear Maggie getting proposed to (that was the original opening scene then commercial break). Everyone is excited. Maxwell is ignored. They all leave. Michael remains and tells Brighton what happened. Next scene: The group all head over to the limo to make their way to the bridal shoppe when they see the vehicle rockin' and rollin' then glass breaks when a heel comes out of one of the windows facing them. Astonished faces all around. Then out comes CC and Niles tucking in their clothes, looking very disheveled and kissing.

Maggie: OMG!

Niles and CC move apart quicky and at a loss of words for a moment when they try to explain.

Niles: There! You're breathing again! (he grimaces and wipes his mouth)

CC: Something lodged in my throat! (To everyone there/gives Niles a glare because he's still wiping his mouth with a handkerchief)

Fran: (aside to Val) I bet I know what that was!

Niles: Doing my part for the fight against animal cruelty, sir.

Max: What is that in your hand?

Niles: (tries to hide CC's broken shoe)

Fran: (grabs it) A-ha! I knew it!

CC: We can explain!

Fran: I knew that salesman was lying when he said they didn't make this in a size 7! If you're through, we need to use the limo to get my newly engaged daughter a wedding dress!

Maggie: Michael proposed!

(Sylvia shows off the ring.)

Niles: Congratulations, Miss Margaret! When will the wedding take place?

Maxwell: There isn't going to be a wedding!

Meanwhile all the women (Rachel, Sylvia, Maggie and Fran) are getting in the car.

Maxwell is about to get inside when he pulls his hand right away from the door and grimaces.

Niles: Sorry sir. Caramel sauce. Broken jar. Please be careful inside.

(Maxwell is still fussing about his hands, not wanting to wipe it on his clothes. Niles takes out the previous handkerchief he was using from the pocket of his pants and hands it over. Maxwell starts cleaning his hands with it when he realizes that it's not a handkerchief, but a woman's panty. Niles grabs it back and he and CC rush away.)

The rest of the episode that we saw was pretty much what was on the script (no car ride in Rachel's car and the bridal shoppe scene was shorter, but touching scene w/Max and Maggie still happens) except as they continue to get the mansion ready for the wedding, Niles and CC keep getting caught in various places inside and they're both very frustrated. CC makes a comment about his kissing prowess. Niles says he's had plenty of practice. (a montage is then shown - Niles sulking on the bottom steps, Niles sulking in the kitchen w/Fran, Niles sulking in the kitchen w/Maxwell after CC left w/Chandler, Niles face down on the breakfast table after CC left w/Colin) Niles then gets a determined look on his face and from the hallway they enter the livingroom and from pillar to pillar they hide until the coast is clear and then he quickly drags her upstairs, but almost at the top of the stairs, CC is dragging Niles up faster and around the wall.

That's when Fran/Max answer the door and Michael enters the room. Fran discovers he's related to Barbara Streisand and goes into labor. Niles and CC are interrupted again! Then that whole thing w/Fran trying to get back to the mansion is shown. There's no scene w/Barbara Streisand look-alike in her hospital room singing. Then the wedding takes place and while they're watching the ceremony, a decoration falls from the ceiling onto M/F and they look up. Last scene was of CC about to light a cigarette when Niles gives her a look and she tosses both cigarette and lighter away. CC giggles. Scene ends.
