Jean Simmons has voiced the English version of Hayao Miyazaki's newest anime tale, "Howl's Moving Castle," due out Friday.  From a review in yesterday's L.A. Times--

[Pixar's] Docter and [co-director] Dempsey found their Old Sophie in a screen legend -- Simmons ("Spartacus," "Great Expectations"). "She really got in to the character" during the dubbing sessions, Dempsey said. "She hunched over, making her posture like Sophie's to ensure that she would sound like that character.

Entertainment Weekly had this to say about her:

Jean Simmons, who knew nothing about Miyazaki -- a virtual legend in the animation community and one of Japan's highest-grossing filmmakers (''I'm learning,'' she says) -- voices the elder version of Sophie, a young woman magically turned into a 90-year-old. ''I think I need to go get my back straightened,'' Simmons reports. ''I did a lot of hunching over to get the lack of lung power some old folks have.''

I know I'll be seeing this one.  My daughter loves Miyazaki's movies.

Calendar Events / Announcements '05 I / Grayson in Kojak, Pt. 3
« on: May 29, 2005, 06:19:45 PM »
Her 4th scene: 

Kojak points out that her son didn't pack his boots and warm jacket for his supposed hiking trip.




"See here, Lieutenant, I don't question every move my son makes or what he wears.
Now what is this all about?"


"I refuse to be intimidated  by the police on some vague pretension."



She refuses to tell him anything more.

These are from her 2nd scene:

GH:  "I'll get it."


The father of the girl who was attacked is on the other end.
He lies that he has her son's spare glasses, but really intends to kill him.


"He's not here right now."






"Really, I'm not an answering service, you know."

A friend saw Michael Cavanaugh (Sheriff Patterson, 1991) on TV recently in a trailer advertising the Area 51 game.  The ad is also available to download here--

Look for "Department of Defense," or Michael Cavanaugh's image.  He is seen in a Pentagon briefing, denying a rumor about space aliens at the facility as the trailer cuts to gameplay.  Check it out.  :)
