FAMED MOVIE CRITIC, TO RERUN PAST INTERVIEWS FOR CHARITY.
After 44 years doing movie reviews and movie star interviews on the TV news at CBS and NBC in Los Angeles, David Sheehan has a new calling: an online web series called "The Other Side of Stardom."
Each week, Sheehan will revisit one of his classic interviews in an effort to bring the most provocative thoughts of Hollywood's most celebrated stars to a whole new audience. Al Pacino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin Williams, and Tom Cruise are among the first stars to be featured.
All net proceeds from the series (FOR A YEAR) will benefit Sheehan's three favorite charities: Children of the Night, Habitat for Humanity, and St. Jude Children's Hospital.
"The Other Side of Stardom" represents a second chance for fans everywhere to experience Sheehan's very thoughtful and unusually personal conversations with a star-studded list of Hollywood greats, including: Robert Redford, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Michelle Feiffer, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jane Fonda, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Robin Williams, and more.
Actor Al Pacino is the first subject of "The Other Side of Stardom" series, prompted by critic Sheehan's rave review of Pacino's new movie "Manglehorn."
Sheehan's very personal interview with Pacino explores the acclaimed actor's attitudes about his own long life of acting, and what it has done for him (and to him) as a person.
"The Other Side of Stardom" is a co-production of Hollywood Close-Ups, Inc. and RetroVideo, Inc., directed by noted video editor Derek Bloom, editorial supervisors John Diamond & Mark Braverman, media managers AJ Barton, Toy Newkirk & Rob Neason, with Kellyann Chippendale and Jeff Jacobs, executive producers.

ROCK ON FOR SAFETY!
Created pro bono by Warner Bros. for the Ad Council, the new creative includes English language TV and radio advertising and uses scenes from the feature film San Andreas to amplify earthquake safety awareness and the protective actions that can be taken in the event of an earthquake. Featuring Dwayne Johnson, one of the stars of the film, the PSAs educate audiences on the three steps to take if an earthquake strikes; “Drop, Cover and Hold On.” The PSAs direct audiences to Ready.gov/Earthquake, where visitors can access more information on how to protect themselves, their families, and property before, during, and after an earthquake. It is critically important to highlight the steps people can take to protect themselves from an earthquake. According to joint research by the U.S. Geological Service (USGS) and FEMA, nearly half the U.S. population, 150 million Americans, are exposed to potentially damaging earthquake shaking. “Earthquakes can occur anywhere in the U.S. without warning,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “The PSA provides earthquake safety tips that are vital to preparing yourself and your family to react quickly, which will save lives.” The new PSAs are an extension of FEMA and the Ad Council’s Ready campaign, which has helped to generate more than 87 million unique visitors to the campaign’s website Ready.gov since its launch in 2003. Through the Ad Council, to date, the Ready campaign has received more than $1.1 billion in donated media. “We are glad that Dwayne Johnson and Warner Bros. are helping to support the important earthquake preparedness messaging behind our Ready campaign,” said Lisa Sherman, president and CEO of the Ad Council. “It is through strategic partnerships such as this that we can reach the largest audience possible, and families can learn how to be prepared in the event of a disaster.” The Ad Council is distributing the new PSAs to media outlets nationwide this week and the PSAs will run and air in advertising time and space donated by the media.
