Pham Duy - Part 3
Pham Duy (October 5, 1921 – January 27, 2013) was a prolific Vietnamese songwriter. With a musical career that spanned more than seven decades through some of the most turbulent periods of Vietnamese history and with more than one thousand songs to his credit, he is widely considered one of the three most salient and influential figures of modern Vietnamese music, along with Van Cao and Trinh Cong Son. His music is noted for combining elements of traditional music with new methods, creating melodies that are both modern and traditional. A politically polarizing figure, his entire body of work was banned in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War and subsequently in unified Vietnam for more than 30 years until the government began to ease restrictions on some of his work upon his repatriation in 2005.
Pham Duy died on January 27, 2013 in Saigon , one month after the death of his eldest son Duy Quang. Thousands of well-wishers, including many of the most notable names in Vietnamese music, paid their respects at his home before he was buried on February 3, 2013 in Binh Duong Park Cemetery.

ROBERT TOWNSEND
With over 30 years in the business, passionate visionary and trailblazer, Robert Townsend, transcends any medium he touches: Actor, writer, director, producer, stand-up comedy or running a television network. The Chicago native is often referred to as one of the "Godfathers of the Independent Film World." Robert acted out scenes, impersonating famous characters as a child, eventually making his mark in his hometown, and moving on to New York's renowned comedy club, The Improvisation, initiating his career in stand-up comedy. His big break came performing on various television comedy specials, including Rodney Dangerfield's, "It's Not Easy Being Me," and others. He then landed a role opposite Denzel Washington in "A Soldier's Story," and appeared in "Streets of Fire," with Diane Lane, and "American Flyers," with Kevin Costner. In Hollywood, he saw the difficulty black actors had and lack of good work available in the film industry, leaving a burning desire to step behind the camera, and the independent filmmaker was born. Robert wrote, directed, produced and starred in his own critically acclaimed film, "The Hollywood Shuffle." His semi-autobiographical, "The Five Heartbeats"continues as an audience favorite, and he has gone on to be nominated for more than 30 NAACP Image Awards for film and television. Robert's newest film, "In The Hive," was released on DVD on May 7th. It stars Loretta Devine, Vivica A. Fox and the late Michael Clark Duncan in his last role. It is a film about power of love and a gripping reminder that we can all make a difference in a child’s life, even the ones who’ve been relegated to the discarded heap for far too long.

ZOE BELL: OBLIVION
Zoe Bell is "the industry's most famous stuntwoman," and is transcending into leady lady. The beautiful New Zealand daredevil breaks down these barriers in her role opposite Morgan Freeman and Tom Cruise in the blockbuster theatrical release (April 19th) of "Oblivion." Set 60 years after an alien invasion has destroyed planet earth, "Oblivion" is an action-packed adventure thriller that pays homage to classic science fiction films of the 1970's. Zoe portrays 'Kara,' of the underground group, lead by Morgan Freeman, of renegrades who are tracking how to save the planet. (Personal note: I saw the film and loved it.) Best known as Quention Tarantinos go-to stuntwaman, Bell has worked in dozens of high profile thrillers, including "Kill Bill, Vols. 1 & 2;" "Inglourious Basterds;" "Django Unchained;" and the cult favorite, "Xena:Warrior Princess." With an impressively established resume of stunt work and a bold transition into starring roles, Bell has now combined her talents in her newest project, "Raze," a much-anticipated thriller, which premiers at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month. She not only stars in the film, but choreographed many of the stunts, setting the overall vision for the fight scenes, and is a producer on the film as well. The film is dubbed as "Fight Club" meets "Hostel." and co-stars Sherilyn Fenn and Rachel Nichols, with a cameo by Rosario Dawson. Bell was born in Waiheke Island, New Zealand, to Tish, a nurse, and Andrew Bell, a doctor. She grew up on Waiheke Island in Auckland, and participated in competitive gymnastics, dance, high diving, scuba, and track and field activities, and Tae Kwon Do. Bell began her career in 1992 when her father treated a stuntman for a head injury and came home with a phone number for her to call.
