“I did some professional radio acting as a teenager, and I essentially put myself through college with radio acting in Montreal. When I graduated, I got jobs in professional theatres, repertory, and stock theatres in Canada for a couple of years. And then I went to Stratford, Ontario, where I spent three years with a Shakespeare company. We took a classical play from Stratford to New York City, and I got some good notices there and essentially stayed and did live television. And that brings you to the beginning of filming.” YearsPlayJobsThreeActingCitiesCompanyNew YorkTelevisionCollegeCoupleRadioTheatreTeenagerCanadaNew York CityThree YearsMontrealOntarioLive Television Author:William Shatner

“I recently went to my staircase at Clare College, Cambridge and there were women there! There have been a lot of convincing studies recently about the loss of productivity in the Western male. It may be that entertainment culture now is so engaging that it keeps people satisfied. We didn't have that. Science was much more fun than listening to the radio. When you are 16 or 17 and in that inherently semi-lonely period when you are deciding whether to be an intellectual, many now don't bother.” PeopleMayHas BeensScienceCultureFunLossStudyCollegeListeningPeriodsIntellectualLonelyWesternMalesRadioEntertainmentProductivitySatisfiedBotherEngagingConvincingCambridgeStaircases Author:James D.

“She became politically conscious thanks to Studs Terkel and the radio. She started reading all the books we brought home from college and was a great fan of Noam Chomsky. She was a real lefty and yet was not able to meet her dream of becoming an artist. She got drafted into motherhood big time - seven kids - and that wasn't the life that she had planned.
