Hollywood Flashback: Olivia De Havilland Went to War With Warner Bros. and Won

It seems a shame that Northern Exposure — a '90s dramedy about a neurotic Jewish doctor from New York forced to pay back his student loans by working in a tiny Alaska town — is not available on any streaming platform. (Licensing fees for its rock-and-jazz-heavy soundtrack have been cited as the reason.) The feel-good show came from Joshua Brand and John Falsey, creators of ABC’s thirtysomething, and CBS ordered eight episodes out of the gate, premiering the series in summer 1990.

The drive-in movie theater, which is enjoying a resurgence amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, did not originate in Los Angeles. That honor goes to Camden, New Jersey, where the world’s first opened June 6, 1933 — the patented brainchild of Richard Hollingshead, son of an auto parts dealer.

"We'd get to the point where they read the award and it always went the same way," recalls Friends co-creator David Crane of the Emmy Awards during the blockbuster NBC sitcom's first seven seasons. "They'd go, 'And the winner is Frr…' — and time slowed down — and then it always finished with '...asier!' And we would all start to stand and then settle back in our seats." So, when Friends was nominated again in 2002, no one expected much.

Michael Learned — or "Miss Michael Learned," as she was credited on The Waltons, lest anyone confuse her for a man — holds the record for most Emmy wins for outstanding lead actress in a drama series. Three of those came for her work on The Waltons; she played matriarch Olivia Walton on the CBS drama, which ran for nine seasons beginning in 1972.

Like its title character, Babe, released a quarter-century ago, is the story of an underestimated little thing that went on to stupendous achievements. It began as the 1983 Dick King-Smith children's book The Sheep-Pig, about an orphaned piglet who demonstrates a knack for herding sheep.

While his latest limited series, HBO's The Plot Against America, earned a single Emmy nomination for cinematography on July 28, two decades ago, David Simon's first HBO project, 2000's The Corner, earned four noms and won three Emmys — for outstanding miniseries; outstanding directing for a miniseries, movie or a special (for Charles S. Dutton); and outstanding writing for a miniseries or a movie (for Simon and David Mills).
