CHARLES CYPHERS (1939 - 2024)

Halloween (1978) Halloween Kills (2021)

[greensparty]

RIP Connie Chiume, Charles Cyphers and Patti Yasutake

Three actors passed away and here is my combined remembrance:

Remembering Patti Yasutake 1953-2024

Yasutake as Nurse Ogawa

Actress Patti Yasutake has died at 70. She was well-known to Trekkies for playing Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation between 1990 and 1994, in the underrated passing-the-torch movie Star Trek: Generations, and Star Trek: First Contact. Other notable performances included Gung Ho, Drop Dead Gorgeous, as George's mother on Beef (which I named my #1 TV Show of 2023).

Remembering Charles Cyphers 1939-2024

Cyphers and Donald Pleasence in Halloween

Actor Charles Cyphers has died at 85. He was well-known to Halloween fans as Sheriff Leigh Brackett in the 1978 original Halloween, the 1981 sequel Halloween II, and David Gordon Green's 2021 Halloween Kills (the middle of DGG's trilogy). In addition to Halloween, he worked with John Carpenter on several films including Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog, and Escape from New York. Other notable performances include Roots, Hal Ashby's Coming Home, the 1995 Seinfeld episode "The Hot Tub", and an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Long career in Hollywood in both TV and movies. Best-known for his work with John Carpenter - most notably as the Sheriff in the original "Halloween" and it's sequel. RIP

From The Glass Slipper to An Offer: an ode to Cinderella (long version)

I remember as a young girl, there were four movies that I would watch on repeat to the point I wear off the VCR. Hey it’s the 80s! It was Grease, La Bamba, and two versions of Cinderella: the 1950 Disney animated classic, and the 1965 Rodgers and Hammerstein adaptation. I would sing Jacques’ Cinderelly song as much as I laugh over the way the Prince shouts “silence” just as he realized he found Cinderella before putting the shoe on. 

This year will mark the 75th anniversary of the 1950 animated version. With the anticipation of Season 4 of Bridgerton, I decided to give a nice homage to all the Cinderellas that came before Sophie Baek. Some are well-known and stay true to the story while others stray to make it unique. But one thing for sure: Cinderella movies are always great to watch because in the end, the underdog gets her happy ending. 

(Note: I am going to leave out the 1950 version and any animated adaptions, so don’t hate me)

The Glass Slipper (1955)

Couple: Ella (Leslie Caron) and Prince Charles (Michael Wilding, RIP)

Where to watch: YouTube Premium 

We have outcast but proud Ella being charmed by Charles disguised as a palace chef. And that’s all before the ball even happened. But the kiss Charles gave to Ella after teaching her to dance and handing the invite shook her to the core. Take away all the ballet parts, its a cute movie for the era. 

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1957, 1965, and 1997)

Couples  1957: Cinderella (Julie Andrews) and Prince Christopher (Jon Cypher)

1965: Cinderella (Lesley Ann Warren) and Prince Christoper (Stuart Damon, RIP)

1997: Cinderella (Brandy Norwood) and Prince Christopher (Paolo Montaban)

Where to watch: YouTube (1957), Disney Plus (1965 and 1997)

Ten minutes ago, I was planning my lunch, not hearing the sweetest sounds or that the Prince is giving a ball. So in my own little corner, I’m writing my love for all three versions of R&H’s adaptation. 

For the original, it was unprecedented at the time as it was completely live and worked out beautifully. The world got to know Julie Andrews prior to being Mary Poppins, Maria von Trapp, Queen Clarice, and the voice of Lady Whistledown and were so glad not only she’s still with us but still within the Bridgerton family. I’m manifesting an actual cameo from her in Season 4. Please make it happen, Netflix!

For the version I grew up with, I love the meet-cute of her offering Chris well water while thinking he’s just fighting dragons, rescuing maidens, and finding his true love. It was a nice call back in the end when he figured out who she was before putting on the slipper. But the best part is when Cinderella’s stepmom tries to stop her, he shouts out “SILENCE!” Bonus that the legendary Ginger Rodgers is the Queen in this. 

And then there’s the Brandy version: it exceeded expectations, from the colorblind casting to Brandy and Paolo’s chemistry, to Bernadette Peters being delish as the stepmom. 

Three Wishes For Cinderella (1973 Czech version and 2021 Norwegian version)

Couples:  1973: Popelka (Libuše Šafránková, RIP) and The Prince (Pavel Trávníček)

2021: Askepott (Astrid Smeplass) and The Prince (Cengiz Al)

Where to watch: YouTube (Czech with English subs, free), Amazon Prime Video (Norwegian with English dub)

The cheeks are soiled with ashes, but a chimney sweep it is not.

A hat with feathers, the crossbow over the shoulder, but the a hunter it is not.

A silver dress with train at a ball, but a princess it is not.

Figure this out, and you will get yourself a himbo Bohemian or Nordic prince! I can see why this is a Christmas classic in Eastern Europe. Though I am partial to the Norwegian version as our heroine saved the Prince from imminent doom.  

The Slipper and The Rose (1976)

Couple: Cinderella (Gemma Craven) and Prince Edward of Euphrania (Richard Chamberlain)

Where to watch: Peacock and Amazon Prime Video

While it mostly stays true to the source material, the stakes are higher in this musical as our Prince must marry someone from a neighboring kingdom to form an alliance and be "protocoligorically correct”. But true love wins in the end as Cinderella crashes the wedding, no matter how much the King and Lord Chamberlain can bribe her (with regret) in exile. 

Cindy (1978)

Couple: Cindy (Charlayne Woodard), Captain Joe Prince (Clifton Davis), and Michael (Cleavant Derricks)

Where to watch: YouTube (free)

Before Brandy, there’s Charlayne! In this late 70s African-American adaptation set in post-WW2 Harlem, Cindy is headstrong but kind (and really good at double-dutch) when she gets her life turned upside down when she meets a captain with the help (and dismay) of her draft-dodging neighbor. But sometimes the prince doesn’t get the girl as our Cinderella follows her heart and would rather be poor and happy with a maturing Michael.

Fairie Tale Theatre’s Cinderella (1985)

Couple: Cinderella (Jennifer Beals) and Prince Henry (Matthew Broderick)

Where to watch: YouTube (free)

55 minutes and no sign of Cinderella breaking into a flash dance for the ages or the Prince breaking into song that causes the kingdom to twist and shout? I demand my time back!!! Just kidding. It’s a nice faithful adaptation for less than an hour of your time!

Ever After (1998)

Couple: Danielle de Barbarac (Drew Barrymore) and Prince Henry of France (Dougray Scott)

Where to watch: Disney Plus 

The definitive millennial Cinderella story! Throwing apples at the Prince as a meet-cute? Check. Quoting Utopia under a disguise to save an elderly servant? Check. Carrying the Prince to prove to the gypsies? Check. Da Vinci as your fairy godparent? Massive check. And that’s before hitting the buffet table because you’re here for the food! And it’s the ultimate comeuppance towards the Baroness and her awful daughter Marguerite? Chef’s kiss. No wonder why everyone has this as at least their Top 3 movie adaptations ever. 

Cinderella (2000)

Couple: Zezolla (Marcella Pluckett) and Prince Valiant (Gideon Turner)

Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video

One word to describe it: BIZZARE!  While it stays true to the source material, the godmother is now portrayed by Queen Mab (Jane Birkin), the glass slippers are now made out of flower petals, and the Prince’s song is just… enjoy it for the mayhem! 

Maid In Manhattan (2002)

Couple: Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) and Chris Marshall (Ralph Fiennes)

Where To Watch: Netflix 

Yes, even JLo had her Cinderella moment. But she and future Oscar™️ winner Ralph Fiennes got some chemistry here in a case of mistaken identity and class divide. Plus, the movie did spawn a Telemundo adaptation AND Stanley Tucci, Tyler Posey, and Natasha Richardson (RIP) are in this movie. 

A Cinderella Story (2004)

Couple: Samantha Montgomery  (Hillary Duff) and Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray)

Where to watch: Roku Channel

Diner Girl + Quarterback who wants to go to Princeton + lost cell phone + Jennifer Coolege as your stepmom? It’s a nice retelling in drought stricken LA. 

Ella Enchanted (2004)

Couple: Ella of Frell (Anne Hathaway) and Prince Charmont of Lamia (Hugh Dancy)

Where to watch: Paramount Plus

This takes the spirit of the story and shakes things up. Right from the beginning, it mixed in with Sleeping Beauty as Ella being “cursed” with obedience. Plus, our heroine and prince goes on a journey (along with a talking magic book and an elf) to reverse the curse like it’s The Wizard of Oz. Funny thing is this movie had Ella singing “Somebody To Love” and it won’t be the last time the song would be used for a Cinderella adaptation. 

The “A Cinderella Story” franchise (2008-2021)

Couples: 

Another Cinderella Story (2008): Mary Santiago (Selena Gomez) and Joey Parker (Drew Seeley)

Once Upon A Song (2011): Katie Gibbs (Lucy Hale) and Luke Morgan (Freddie Stroma… yep Prince Friedrich was the “Prince” here)

If The Shoe Fits (2016): Tessa Golding (Sofia Carson) and Reed West (Thomas Law)

Christmas Wish (2019): Kat Decker (Laura Marano) and Nick Wintergarden (Gregg Sulkin)

Starstruck (2021): Finley Tremaine (Bailee Madison) and Jackson Stone (Michael Evans Behling)

Where to watch: Max (2021), YouTube Premium (2008, 2011, 2015, 2019)

So while Sam and Austin drove away to Princeton, we were fed with five different Cinderella stories. We see our heroine dance, exposed as the real singer, being the star of the musical as herself, and giving acting a shot. Cinderella is a mechanic, a farm girl, and worked at a Christmas amusement park. But all end the same and happy! However, if Jane Lynch was my stepmom, I would be scared. No wonder why her next big role was Sue in Glee. 

Cenerentola (2011)

Couple: Aurora DeLuca (Vanessa Hessler) and Sebastian von Ausperg (Flavio Parenti)

Where to watch: Roku Channel

While most Cinderellas meet their Prince at adulthood, Aurora and Sebastian meet on the best (and her worst) day of Aurora’s life. She dreams of being a concert pianist like her father while he loves writing short stories. Eight years later and Aurora is at the mercy of her conniving stepmom in her own home turned hotel while Sebastian is now the heir (after his older brother dies) and part of a bargaining chip to close the deal by dating the daughter of their business partner. But with the help of Aurora’s long lost American grandma and support of the hotel staff, the childhood sweethearts found their way to each other. And the added bonus: she was able to resume her dreams of being a concert pianist. Double win for Aurora! 

Into The Woods (2014)

Couple: Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) and The Prince (Chris Pine)

Where to watch: Disney Plus

While this is just a fraction of the whole musical, what’s memorable about it is how the Prince is actually a douche. With that said, who hasn’t seen the “Agony” scene on repeat and laughed? 

Cinderella (2021)

Couple: Ella (Camila Cabello) and Prince Robert (Nicholas Galitzine)

Changes to the story: Amazon Prime Video

Before becoming a British prince in love with the first son of the US or a boy bander wooing a single mom who in another life was Ella of Frell, Nicholas Galitzine is the heir to the throne (and belts “Somebody To Love”) and falls in love with our dress designing heroine while dueting to Ed Sheeran. And to think the Prince’s mom was the aforementioned Ella of Frell’s fairy/caretaker in another life.

So now we’re up to Benedict and Sophie in 2025 (or 2026, but I’m still hoping for this year) and while their story starts as a Cinderella, we’re in for a treat full of drama, laughs, and true love! And wherever it lands within the Cinderellas of the past, it promises to be a memorable one.

Charles Cyphers, best known for his role as Sheriff Leigh Brackett in the “Halloween” franchise, died Sunday. He was 85.

His manager Chris Roe announced the news that Cyphers died from a brief illness in Tuscon, Ariz.

He will definitely be missed. #RIP

[duchessofostergotlands]

I do not envy the Brits and any other commonwealth country that’s going to go through the hassle of exchanging money and all the queens stuff with Charles in the future. I mean RIP and that but jeez it’s gonna be a massive pain cause her face is everywhereee

So are there any estimates on how mush money its going to cost to change out all the Elizabeth stuff to charles ie money/stamps/any thing with ER on it all that stuff. Like its everywhere. And does money with Elizabeth on it become worthless or will it still be useable and they will slowly cycle it out?

It's not actually that bad in logistical or financial terms. They don't replace any of the post boxes or existing money with the new monarch's cypher/image. They just change it for anything they make from that point forwards - any new money for example. So gradually the money will be taken out of circulation like it is anyway. It's more just the kind of mental confusion of going from a certain image to something entirely new. We'll get over it of course but it'll be a bit odd for a while.
