“Looking out over Central Park there's just that little bit of simplicity, it almost looks like a country scene, and then to kind of look out and see all the buildings and the high rises. It's like the country and the city...and I get inspired." —Dolly Parton

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.
Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.
At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖 – at Manhattan, NY

According to Kirk Douglas, during the filming of "Paths of Glory" (1957), Stanley Kubrick made the veteran actor Adolphe Menjou do the same scene 17 times. After a few takes, Menjou said to Kubrick, "That was my best reading. I think we can break for lunch now." It was well past the usual lunch time but Kubrick said he wanted another take.
Menjou went into an absolute fury. In front of Kirk Douglas & the entire crew he blasted off on what he claimed was Kubrick's dubious parentage, and made several other unprintable references to Kubrick's relative greenness in the art of directing actors.
Stanley Kubrick merely listened calmly, and, after Menjou had spluttered to an uncomplimentary conclusion, said quietly: "All right, let's try the scene once more." With utter docility, Menjou went back to work.
Douglas said, "Stanley instinctively knew what to do." Douglas felt that Kubrick's air of Knowledge can infuriate an actor at first, but then, "You settle down and admire him."
("'2001': Offbeat Director In Outer Space", Hollis Alpert, The NY Times, 1966)

We're still swooning over Friday's unforgettable opening night for the first ever NOIR CITY: NEW YORK! The Paris was teeming with femme and them fatales, hard-boiled heroes, gangsters, private eyes and beyond. Smoky jazz billowed out into the dark alleys around 58th Street thanks to the stellar stylings of @ElizabethBougerol and Her Band
The "czar of Noir" himself, Eddie Muller, kicked off the highly anticipated series with an introduction – one of many you can see him make over the next eight days at the Paris.
