Now watching:

This is sort of a cross between *What’s Up, Tiger Lily?* and *Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid*, with re-dubbed clips from Republicans serials and a few newly recorded scenes.

Your Dream Sun Hill Staff Line Up

This will only work if we ignore the obvious problem with aging and make everyone as old as when they were onscreen for the majority of the time all at the same time (so ignoring returns and later sad deaths like Ted in the numbered episodes and people leaving the service like Rod/Yorkie etc.)

I have included those who rose through the ranks or 'acted up' onscreen in those positions as well [For example - acting Superintendent Derek Conway would be allowed to be chosen as a Superintendent, however you couldn't promote someone who hadn't been seen onscreen as that rank - say making Will Fletcher a Superintendent] It's likely that I've forgotten some so please feel free to point it out and add them in!

You obviously cannot have people in more than one position however, so unfortunately (for me!) there's no Inspector Smith, Sgt Smith and PC Smith all working at the same time!

There are no rules on the sexes of characters (ie - you don't have to have 6 PC's of each sex). The numbers are as follows...

Allowances

1 Superintendent

1 Chief Inspector

1 Detective Chief Inspector

2 Detective Inspectors

3 Detective Sergeants

10 Detective Constables

1 Inspector

3 Sergeants

12 Constables (in total)

(Initially a little bit generous on PC's and DC's allowances. I did start with 8 and 10 but it was a bit too hard for that! If we go for another round we might need to bring that down...)

Superintendent Chief Superintendent Charles Brownlow Acting Superintendent Derek Conway Superintendent Tom Chandler Superintendent Adam Okaro Superintendent Amanda Prosser Superintendent John Heaton Superintendent Jack Meadows

[geminicollisionworks]

With nothing much else to post at the moment, Berit has suggested that I share some tracks from maybe the biggest influence on Life With Althaar with "the yutes."

The Firesign Theatre was a surreal comedy group -- composed of Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman, and Philip Proctor -- that worked in audio, from 1966 to 2012, on radio in a mostly-improvisational form, and on LP and CD (and occasionally stage, film, and video) in a densely scripted and layered series of landmark audio works combining high and low comedy, poetry, literature, music, philosophy, metaphysics, theatre, surrealism, absurdism, and social commentary into a thick audio stew.

I've been listening to their albums for literally all 54 years of my life, and my voice (physical and creative) owes everything to them (probably all 75 voices I've performed on Althaar could be directly traced back to one of the Firesigns, if not deliberately imitating some other famous person).

While our show is more plot and character-driven and less abstract than most of their work, I think the influence is apparent, both in audio production and in a kind of philosophy of sonic comedy.

So I'll be sharing some of their work here over the next week, hoping to keep it alive in the Future. No problem if it's not your bag -- there are plenty of dated references, and some of the dialect voices verge on (or cross into) the problematic -- but maybe someone out there catches the bug.

Here is the title track from their first album, Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him, from 1968, originally all of side 2 of the LP. It's a simple start from them, getting to know the capabilities and limits of a real recording studio (only 4 tracks!), but it's pure Firesign.

(and yes, I chose to make one of the opening scenes of Althaar's first episode a Customs check in homage to this piece...)

The Wikipedia article on The Firesign Theatre is a detailed and accurate history if you want to know more.

When meeting the Firesigns at a signing in 1993, I mentioned to David Ossman their huge influence on me and he asked, "What do you do? Comedy?" And I replied, "No, I'm in Audio" (which was my job at the time). And he slammed his signing pen down and said:

"You see! People are always asking me 'where are the comedians influenced by Firesign these days? why does no one do comedy like you anymore?' And I always tell them, the people influenced by us didn't go into Comedy, they went into Audio! That was our real influence!"

And so, 30 years on from that, I find myself winding up doing both.

Hope you enjoy the all-nite images.

Secrets (1971)

Going through my list of "Watch Later" files on my YouTube account, I came across the subject of this post. 1970s British cinema is among the cream of the crop in the history of film and having people like Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Powell as the stars would be an advantage. Unfortunately, Philip Saville's "Secrets", which also includes Swedish film legend Per Oscarsson and Oscar nominated actress Shirley Knight, is part of the bargain basement collection of leftover soap opera bits and faux Ingmar Bergman scenarios.

The story takes place in less than 24 hours and involves a faltering marriage between two closed minded people Jennifer (Bisset) and Allan (Powell) and their daughter Judy (Tarka Kings). The opening scene shows Jennifer and Judy at the laundromat and like a scene out of "Rugrats", Jennifer leaves Judy behind for some fresh air. While she's being wooed by wealthy businessman Raoul (Oscarsson), because she reminds him of his late wife, Judy is led to the house of a fellow laundromat customer named Raymond (Thomas Ellice). On the other side of town, Alan is taking an exam for his job and strikes up a conversation with the female proctor named Beatrice (Knight). For the duration of the afternoon, the 3 members of this family are in the companies of complete strangers where betrayals and passions are prevalent.

"Secrets" has the formula for a fascinating story, but not much character development and plot progression is thought out. Director and writer Saville creates a trio of stories where none of the characters are fascinating, and you gradually care less and less about them while the film drudgingly goes on. Part of it is that the film is less than 90 minutes and leaves little to no room for the characters to gain any kind of sympathy with the audience. Most insulting is that of the plot involving the daughter, who is put in a situation of possible harm by a complete stranger while her mother is at another stranger's house. There is a moment where Judy straddles Raymond like two lovers making out that is done in the most trivialized and tasteless manner. The worst thing is that there is no consequence of this terrible act put forth on any of the parents or the girl herself. By the end of the film, every single character is held at the highest levels of contempt.

Bisset, Powell, Oscarsson and Knight are four acting legends all held in great regard in much better content, but in this schlock, they are maneuvering a script not worthy of their talents. Bisset, in particular, acts in the same passive monotone voice from start to finish, like her character commits adultery and neglects her child on a daily basis. Powell's booming voice is put to waste with boring voiceover monologues, that only demonstrate how childish his character really is. As the two respective home-wrecking lovers, Knight and Oscarsson bring little chemistry to the bedroom, with limp sex scenes that lack passion. Oscarsson does have a good scene where he recounts how his wife was diagnosed with a terminal illness after giving birth to their child and for only a few minutes, you'd think you were watching an adequate film.

The big secret about "Secrets" is that it's a terrible film that no one knows about, nor should ever see it and take seriously as a work of art. It's best viewed with Servo, Crow, Statler and Waldorf in the peanut gallery making wisecracks.

How NatureCoaster is Making a Difference for Florida's Nature Coast

We love Florida's Nature Coast. We work hard to support the many organizations that help make the wonderful place what it is, whether through events, activities, preservation, or assistance to residents and visitors. That is why NatureCoaster.com covers the best of the area and not the crime and politics that divide it. Being involved in politics - the organizations and governing entities that manage our area's resources - is important. Attending County Commission meetings, Southwest Water Management District meetings, Florida Fish and Wildlife Meetings, City Council meetings, and Metropolitan Planning Organization meetings are all ways that we can shape how our area grows. NatureCoaster.com covers notices about when and where you can get involved. When you speak up and get involved in the process you can influence positive change and chart direction. Today's feature story is about the details: who, what, where. Let us know what you think in the comments. Supporting the Florida Wildlife Corridor One of our passion projects is the Florida Wildlife Corridor, which is certainly bigger than our Nature Coast. The Corridor extends from the Keys to Alabama and Georgia, providing a connected path for wildlife to move freely and somewhat safely through the entire state. The Nature Coast is an important piece of the Corridor. The Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation has partnered with us to promote you, our readers, getting involved. To that end, Diane Bedard, NatureCoaster's founder has been involved with this organization for several years. "I believe that each of us can contribute to something greater by trying. I believe God honors effort and when we take the time to put our vision into action, we can contribute to a greater good," Diane says. A Celebration to Help the Cause On April 6, 2024, NatureCoaster.com held a party for our tenth anniversary at the Masaryk Winery in Masaryktown, Florida. We invited all our readers, our advertising partners, and the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation's friends to come out and celebrate with us on the 53-acre u-pick farm, winery, restaurant, and venue. Autum Proctor of Traveling Art Parties kicked our celebration off with a custom paint class featuring a Nature Coast theme. Here are some of the finished pieces with their creators. Image by Dennis Bedard. We made a custom art piece under the guidance of Autum Proctor, owner of Traveling Art Parties. We enjoyed some of the finest blues music around by the Sarasota Slim Band. We held a silent auction that had donations from small businesses throughout Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco Counties, and we learned more about the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation by watching their latest film, O2O: the Path to Connection and hearing from a panel that included Justin Alsedek, the artist who created the Florida Wildlife Corridor Brooksville mural, Austin Jenkins, US Army Veteran and Trek participant on the O2O film, Donayle Whitmore, FCWF's Director of Outreach Programs, Barry Meindl representing Brooksville Main Street, and myself. The event was catered by Suzy's Kitchen, a farm-to-table place inside the Masaryk Winery. We had a marvelous turnout at our celebration and raised over $1,300 to donate to the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation. This donation, while not monumental in size, will help the organization continue fighting to connect and protect the nature that makes our Nature Coast such a magical place. https://youtube.com/shorts/sOi1nTZrxKE?si=Z3MUslnycn1denWa Let's take a moment to thank the partners who contributed to the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation fundraiser at our Tenth Anniversary Celebration. What a great team! - Chop Block Grill - Florida's Adventure Coast Visitors Bureau - Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation - Freedom Boat Club - Gypsea Arts - Main Street Eatery - Marilyn Tate, Artist - Movin’ Grooms - Philip Bomhoff, Attorney - Richey Suncoast Theatre - Roots Creative Company - Sally White Photography - Tampa Bay Retired Police K9 Foundation and Dog Phonics - The Plantation on Crystal River - The Red Brick Place - The White Heron Tea & Gifts - Traveling Art Parties Raising Funds and Presenting a Check Mallory Lykes-Dimmitt, Chief Executive Officer of the Corridor Foundation, stated, "The awareness you raise through your efforts is significant to our goal of connecting and protecting a safe space throughout our State and we are grateful for your partnership." Her thank you letter for the financial donation stated, "Together we’re continuing to make tremendous strides to keep the Corridor connected and working with a growing array of partners and resources to collectively achieve our critical mission. " We were able to go to the June 8th Gallery opening at their St. Petersburg office to present the check and share some of our NatureCoaster.com branded wine made by Masaryk Winery. NatureCoaster Sponsors Organizations and Events to Help Raise Funds for Local Charities And NatureCoaster is a local publication with a global reach. We help sponsor and promote events year-round to raise funds for charities that provide everything from food for food-insecure schoolchildren to animal care and everything in between. Here is a list of some of the local events and organizations we donate to - The Arc Nature Coast - Florida Manatee Festival - Heroes Boat Parade - Florida Strawberry Festival - Summer Bark Festival - Kumquat Festival - Chasco Fiesta - Live Oak Theatre - Friends of Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park - Friends of Weeki Wachee Springs - Brooksville Main Street - Art in the Park - New Port Richey Main Street - Dade City Monarch Butterfly Festival - East Pasco Chamber - Pigz in Z’Hills Blues & BBQ - Tampa Bay Retired Police K9 Foundation - Walk of Arts Sidewalk Chalk Competition - Drive for Champs Golf Classic - Brooksville Gallery 201 - Red, White & Brews - Walk for Alzheimer's - Floral City Heritage Council - Citrus County Historical Society - 100 Women Who Care Nature Coast If we go back more years, there are more, and I am certain there are some that have been inadvertently left off the list. We want to make a difference for our Nature Coast and with your help, we do. Support the organizations that invest in advertising with NatureCoaster.com. Without our partners, we would not be able to continue connecting you to the best of our area. We hope to see the Butterfly Lady at the 2024 Monarch Butterfly Festival in the newly renovated Touchton Park. Miles the Butterfly, photo ops and much more are sure to be at the annual Dade City Monarch Butterfly Festival on October 26. Image by Dennis Bedard. We Partner with Chambers of Commerce and Visitor Bureaus We belong to several Chamber of Commerce organizations in our region, including the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce and the East Pasco Chamber of Commerce. In previous years, we have been members of the West Pasco Chamber of Commerce, the Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Hernando Chamber of Commerce. We work with all three County tourism or destination marketing organizations: Discover Crystal River, Florida's Adventure Coast, and Florida's Sports Coast. They support us and we support them in attracting visitors to the area to experience the best we have to offer. Some of Our Readers' Remarks about NatureCoaster.com In May 2024, we did a reader survey, asking what readers like about NatureCoaster, and here are the comments. Some are repetitive in this list format, but we didn't want to take away from any of the responses. Let us know if you agree - or if you have some to add. - I learn about the Nature Coast.

THE FACE IS FAMILIAR… BUT I CAN’T PLACE THE NAME!

Same Actor / Different Character ~ Part 3: “Here's Lucy"

It used to be quite common for actors to be cast in multiple roles on the same series. Not in principal parts, certainly, but in supporting and minor characters. Lucycoms were no exception. Although the world created by these shows was representative of reality, the characters who populated them often gave viewers Deja vu. By the time "Here's Lucy" premiered in 1968, Lucille Ball had developed a repertory company of actors that she used time and time again.

For the purposes of this discussion, we won't include background performers (aka extras) as they were nearly always drawn from the same pool of actors. Also, those who played multiple characters need to have at least one of them identified by name.

MARY WICKES

Lucille Ball's good friend tops the list of actors who played multiple roles, with seven characters in nine appearances. When the series premiered, she played a secretary friend of Lucy Carter's named Isabel in two episodes. Perhaps there was no room for Isabel, so she disappeared, but Wickes did not! Due to the fact that she played a nurse in her breakout role in The Man Who Came to Dinner (both stage and screen), she also played several nurses. She even showed up as Lucy's sister-in-law, a nun, another type that she was often cast as in films. In addition, she was a maid to an eccentric dowager, a Montana matriarch, and a nosy neighbor.

JACK COLLINS

Collins' six appearances span from season one in 1968 to the series finale in 1974. He played secret agent Johnson, expectant father Mr. Phillips, Vincent Price's producer Curt, Harry's eye optometrist Dr. Proctor, Harry's accountant Arthur Collins, and Harvey Stevens, proprietor of Harvey's Welcome Inn. Perhaps Collins is best compared to versatile actor Charles Lane on "I Love Lucy"?

CAROLE COOK

Lucy's protege is back with more interesting characters - five of them, to be exact. She started the series as a wacky woman in Carol Burnett's audience, played crusading neighbor Sheila Casten, bridge club member Lillian Rylander, gangster Ma Parker, and Cynthia Duncan, a Lucille Ball look-alike. Ma Parker was by far Cook's largest and most adventurous role on the series.

IRWIN CHARONE

Charone made five appearances on “The Lucy Show” and an equal number of “Here’s Lucy” episodes. Mr. Garfield of the Nippy Whippy Whipped Cream Company , dog owner Mr. Farnsworth, neighbor Chester P. Franklin, a permit office clerk, and college dean Phillips.

ROY ROBERTS

Roberts made an impact as Mr. Cheever on "The Lucy Show." His first appearance on "Here's Lucy" was as the Superintendent of the Air Force Academy in a two-part season opener filmed on location. He returned as a NASA's Dr. Jensen in "Lucy and the Astronauts" (1971), Warden Maginetti when "Lucy Goes To Prison" (1973), and Dr. Honeycutt when "Lucy is N.G. as an R.N." (1974).

RHODES REASON

Reason was a handsome leading man type who easily played a variety of roles from 1968 to 1973: Bradley Henshaw, Jim Simpson, Sam Toliver, Lieutenant Egan, and Keith Davidson.

ROBERT CARSON

Carson was a busy Canadian-born actor. While he never played supporting roles, he wasn't just an extra either. On "Here's Lucy" he played Martin Philips, Buzzy Brock, Sergeant Lou Holmes, and Officer Hurlow.

ROBERT ALDA

Alda (father of Alan) was best known for originating the role of Sky Masterson on Broadway in Guys and Dolls (1950). He did four episodes of "Here's Lucy," the first as himself, hosting the Secretary Beautiful Contest. The role was originally written for Don Ameche, then re-cast with Ross Martin, before Alda was finally given the part.  He got to use his musical theatre skills singing the pageant’s theme.  He put his musical skills to use again as Dean Butler in "Lucy, the Co-Ed" (1970). He also sang as Captain MacClay in a two-parter set on a cruise ship to Hawaii.

WALLY COX

Cox had come to the nation's attention as Mr. Peepers. On "Here's Lucy" he played ex-con safecracker Rock Barnett, wimpy Wally Manley, diamond cutter Gustav Vandermeer, and toy tycoon Tommy Tucker.

DORIS SINGLETON

Singleton created the role of Caroline Appleby on “I Love Lucy.” She was slated to appear as Doris, a secretary colleague of Lucy's, on "Here's Lucy," but the role was eliminated after the first episode. She returned, however, for three more appearances, all as secretaries to the stars: Petula Clark's secretary Miss Perkins, Eddie Albert's secretary Patty, and Lucille Ball's secretary Doris, a role modeled after Ball's own secretary Wanda.

WILLIAM LANTEAU

William Lanteau was a theatre actor who was most famous for playing Charlie the Mailman in On Golden Pond. His theatrical background surely helped him disguise himself in his four roles on "Here's Lucy". Unlike past guest actors, he looks significantly different in each one: Mr. Sherwood, a supermarket manager; Mr. Minkle, building superintendent; Spike, Ginger Rogers' secretary; and Edgar St. Vincent Kinkaid, antiques store manager.

DICK PATTERSON

Patterson was seen by Lucille Ball performing on stage and cast on "The Lucy Show." He continued his relationship with the redhead on "Here's Lucy" where he played computer matchmaker Mr. Morton (Ball's real surname), TV host Dick Dunkirk, Joe Namath's football coach Hennessy, and director of Lucy's pickle commercial Steve Thompson.

RETA SHAW

Shaw was a star of stage and screen (big and small) and Lucille Ball enjoyed working with her. This time, in the series' third episode, she played Mabel Ryker, using the same first name she had in The Pajama Game on stage and screen. She played Rita Forrester in "Lucy and The Group Encounter" (1972), and Mrs. Witherspoon, Lucy's prospective new boarder in "Lucy's Tenant" (1973).

LOLA FISHER

Fisher understudied and replaced Julie Andrews on Broadway in the musical My Fair Lady.  She was seen as in "Lucy's Working Daughter" (1968), as Mrs. Pomeroy in "Lucy in the Jungle" (1971), and Bunny in "Lucy and the Franchise Fiasco" (1973).

CLIFF NORTON

Norton played Sam the Plumber who's overalls turn up on Richard Burton. He was an undercover detective looking for scalpers in an episode starring O.J. Simpson. Lastly, he got title billing in "Mary Jane's Boyfriend", playing accident prone Walter Butley.

BEN WRIGLEY

Wrigley was a British actor who appeared in My Fair Lady (1964) and Bednobs and Broomsticks (1971). so he was a natural to play butlers to Liberace and Jack Benny. He also played Homer Pomeroy in "Lucy in the Jungle" (1971).

BRUCE GORDON

Gordon was best known for playing gangster Frank Nitti in the Desilu television series "The Untouchables" (1959-63), a role he satirized on "The Lucy Show". He trades on that reputation again as Doc Porter in "Lucy and the Ex-Con" and Rocky in "Dirty Gertie", another organized crime scenario. For a change of pace, he played Grandfather Konstantine Kasos in "Lucy's Wedding Party."

ELLIOTT REID

Reid's work with Lucy goes back to "I Love Lucy". Here he plays three roles: Detective Harvey Gaines, Sammy Davis Jr.'s Director, and the host of Milton Berle's telethon.

PHIL VANDERVOORT

Vandervoort was (briefly) Lucille Ball's son-in-law and Lucy believed in keeping it in the family, casting her children, her husband, and her cousin-in-laws on the series. Vandervoort, a handsome young man, makes only three appearances but each one is made to look dramatically different, perhaps to obscure his leading man good looks. He plays Kim and Craig's musician friend Steve (the most 'normal' of his appearances), computer geek Joe Hackley, and beaded handman Tommy.

BARBARA MORRISON

Morrison returns to play two more imposing and imperious women: Harry's date Lady Agatha Warren, and finicky shopper Mrs. Murdock. With many other members of Lucy's acting company, she turns up as a diner in the series' penultimate episode.

HARRY HICKOX

Hickox was best known for playing anvil salesman Charlie Cowell in the 1962 film The Music Man. He played a drill sergeant on "The Lucy Show". He played three different policemen on “Here’s Lucy.”

BILLY SANDS

Sands played Mr. Larson, Lucy's milkman, in two episodes, but he also played Billy the bookie in a third appearance.

DON CRICHTON

Crichton was a dancer on "The Carol Burnett Show" and also did small roles, just as he did on "Here's Lucy". He danced in the series premiere, and then acted, playing Don in "Lucy, The Conclusion Jumper" (1968), and Steve in "Lucy, The American Mother" (1970).

LEW PARKER

Parker, best known as Marlo Thomas' father on "That Girl", was seen on the very first episode of "Here's Lucy" in 1968 as Mr. Caldwell. He returned in 1971 as Mr. Adams, the manager of an All-Nun Band.

LYLE TALBOT

Talbot, a veteran film actor, played Harry's Lawyer and his best pal from Bullwinkle U, Freddy Fox.

JACK MANNING

Manning played Mr. Walters, the manager of the showroom presenting teen idol Donny Osmond as well as Mr. Hubbell, a ceramics store owner who runs art classes, both during season 5.

RICHARD DEACON

Deacon was one of Desilu's favorites, appearing on "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour," "The Mothers-In-Law" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show." For "Here's Lucy" he played unemployment office worker (with show biz aspirations) Harvey Hoople, and Loan Officer Elmer Zellerbach.

ALAN OPPENHEIMER

Oppenheimer played the part of the previously unknown Uncle Herb Hinkley, Lucy's brother. He then turned up as Lucy's doctor, Dr. Matt Parker.

Big Tobacco

By Theodros Fekade, University of Miami Class of 2024

September 25, 2023

In the early 1900s, the popularity of cigarette smoking saw a significant surge due to the invention of automated cigarette rolling machines and a myriad of tactical marketing campaigns by prominent tobacco corporations. Since the early 20th century, Big Tobacco has consistently maintained an indelible imprint within the psyche of consumers. By the 1940s, the prevalence of smoking within the population had reached a staggering 49%, which is attributable to the glamorization of cigarettes by the silver screen and aggressive marketing that targeted all social classes. (Cheng & Kenkel, 2010) Despite an abundance of unambiguous medical reports linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer, the acclaim for and pervasive consumption of cigarettes persisted at unfathomable proportions. Correspondingly, in 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory Committee published a conclusive report that definitively proclaimed that “the death rate for smokers was 70% higher than the death rate of non-smokers,” with the main causes of death for smokers being “lung cancer, bronchitis/emphysema, larynx cancer,” and a plethora of other life-threatening “circulatory diseases.” (U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1964) Although the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory Committee issued a credible warning, there was only a marginal drop in the population of cigarette smokers to 40% as smoking continued in hospitals, school buildings, and aboard airplanes. (Cummings & Proctor, 2015) Since the 1970s, a plethora of states have effectively employed a form of banning smoking, while the federal government has prohibited smoking in all federal buildings through President Clinton’s executive order. In a parallel manner, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) elevated its accreditation standards for hospitals to require the prohibition of smoking by the end of 1993. (Longo, et al., 1998)

Amidst growing public awareness of the pernicious effects of cigarettes, the United States House of Representatives conducted a hearing on the regulation of tobacco products in 1994. During the congressional committee hearing, the CEO of Philip Morris, USA, and other Big Tobacco executives testified under oath that “nicotine is not addictive.” (University of California, San Francisco, n.d.) In 1995, Phillip Morris created Project Sunrise, which had the aim of advancing the promotion of cigarettes while simultaneously invalidating the anti-tobacco movement and challenging the scientific consensus asserting the addictive nature of nicotine. Within the framework of Project Sunrise, Phillip Morris actively supported the “moderate” tobacco control proponents while presenting itself to the public as “responsible” in relation to its counterparts within the tobacco industry. (McDaniel, Smith, & Malone, 2006)

The repercussions of Project Sunrise had a profound influence on the initiation of the U.S. Supreme Court case Philip Morris USA v. Williams, where the estate of Jesse Williams, a man who passed away due to lung cancer, alleged that Philip Morris had orchestrated a deliberate campaign of misinformation regarding the hazards of smoking. In an Oregon trial court, a jury awarded the estate of Williams $821,485 in compensatory damages and an initial $79.5 million in punitive damages, but the trial judge reduced the punitive damages award to $32 million due to the excessive nature of the $79.5 million. Subsequently, the Oregon Court of Appeals reinstated the $79.5 million award, which the Oregon Supreme Court upheld based on the reprehensible actions of Philip Morris. The U.S. Supreme Court vacated the Oregon Supreme Court’s decision and remanded the case back to the Oregon Supreme Court because the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment “forbids” states from utilizing punitive damages as a means of punishing “a defendant for injury that it inflicts upon nonparties.” The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a jury is not allowed to “go further than” using the evidence of injury to nonparties to determine “reprehensibility” of conduct by punishing “a defendant directly on account of harms” that have been inflicted on non-parties. (Philip Morris USA v. Williams, 2007)

Philip Morris USA v. Williams established a pivotal precedent for Big Tobacco and for the jurisprudence of punitive damages. For the jurisprudence of punitive damages, Philip Morris USA v. Williams provided a discernible standard for guiding how punitive damages can be imposed on a defendant. In the context of Big Tobacco, Philip Morris USA v. Williams prompted Philip Morris to cautiously assess the credible threat of similar cases that could emerge across multiple jurisdictions.

Society has since observed the decline of traditional cigarette consumption while witnessing the burgeoning growth of the e-cigarette market. In response to the industry shift, Philip Morris made a strategic purchase of a 35% stake in the biggest e-cigarette company, Juul Labs Inc. Juul Labs Inc. agreed to pay $462 million to settle the accusations that the corporation promoted addictive nicotine products to children through recruiting social media influencers, purchasing ad space across youth-focused websites, and an extensive array of other marketing tactics. (Kaplan, 2021) While state attorney generals and other prosecutors have cultivated significant strides in addressing the harmful consequences of Big Tobacco, the public must acknowledge the proliferation of the e-cigarette market as a threat to society’s viability while advocating for more legislation to prevent avoidable deaths from smoking, similar to Jesse Williams.
