Stage and Screen Actor Hume Cronyn Dies Jun 16, 2:25 PM EST Hume Cronyn, a veteran stage and screen actor who charmed audiences with his portrayals of irascible old men and frequently paired up with his wife, Jessica Tandy, has died of cancer , a family spokeswoman said The couple were honored at the 1994 Tony Awards with the first-ever Special Lifetime Achievement Award Cronyn died of prostate cancer Sunday at his home in Fairfield, Conn "< /p> He and Tandy were married for nearly 52 years at the time of her death from ovarian cancer in September 1994 He was 91 Cronyn, known to modern audiences for his roles in the 1980s "Cocoon" movies, was a seasoned stage actor, making his theater debut in 1931 as a paperboy in "Up Pops the Devil Could you imagine trying to pull off `Lou Grant' today, for example, without people laughing in your face?" said Thompson, who runs Syracuse's Center for the Study of Popular Television He worked in the '70s at a station where the producer liked to let the anchor lend his own special flair to the teases right before a commercial break to entice viewers to stay tuned In "Anchorman," the bumbling Burgundy is a viewer favorite " "Saturday Night Live" has long lampooned anchors on its "Weekend Update " The last earnest attempt, the NBC series "Deadline" starring Oliver Platt, was quickly canceled after its 2000 debut "Showing the anchor where he needed to do this was a page that was blank except for the simple instruction, `Tease more news '" Dave Tolchinsky, an associate professor of radio-TV-film at Northwestern University, thinks viewers are often wondering about the sincerity of the anchor's emotions on camera "Instead of scripting a tease, the producer would ask the anchor to rough out a few words himself," Bremen remembered "The 'journalist against the world, out to do the right thing, fighting the right fight' seems so naive to so many people that it ends up sounding square And citing Albert Brooks' memorable flop-sweat scene in "Broadcast News" when he tries to anchor, Tolchinsky added: "He fails as an anchorperson, but like Bruce in `Bruce Almighty' succeeds as a human being "And "The Daily Show" has won a Peabody for its nightly sendup of newscasts were very educated, very smart guys who really took pride in what they did Well, they are â€â€? to some extent "These guys ' Then, barely missing a beat after he realized what he had done, he authoritatively added, `We'll have that story in a moment Diversity is the reason, he's told As unvarying as the comic depictions of the men have been, you might think they're based on truth But he thinks diversity is the name of an old wooden ship from the Civil War â€â€? Journalists rate lower than even lawyers in surveys of the public's esteem "Kind of like dads in sitcoms," laughed Jill Geisler, the first woman in the United States to become the news director of a major-market network affiliate "The movie `Broadcast News' made a big deal out of the fact that the William Hurt character should `pretend' to cry," he recalled "It is harder today to do a serious, sincere story of an anchorperson than it is to do a comedy A San Diego anchorman in the '70s, Burgundy is the latest in a line of Hollywood anchormen dating back to Ted Baxter of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-77) who by turns are pompous, vain, vacuous, and living by the slogan: Sincerity â€â€? once you can fake that, the world is yours "Now I think most people assume that anchorpeople are faking it â€â€? faking the emotion, faking the chatter and lively banter â€â€? People are generally more cynical " He noted that Jim Carrey's "Bruce Almighty" echoes "Broadcast News" but with a slightly different spin: Ultimately, it's Bruce's refreshing honesty that sets him apart from the anchors ' "Sure enough, one night the anchor breezed right through that page on the air "It's why very seldom principals of schools or deans of universities are presented in a good way," said Syracuse University's Robert Thompson, citing Dean Wormer in "Animal House" as a classic example Ferrell, the film's co-screenwriter who consulted with at least five local anchormen across the country for his role, agreed People in TV news admit they've known a Ron Burgundy, but they maintain that such types are anomalies who quickly disappear " One of Tolchinsky's colleagues at Northwestern, Chuck Kleinhans, suggested that women escape the same Hollywood rap as anchormen because it's generally assumed they had to work harder than a man to achieve the same level of success Thus Christina Applegate's character in "Anchorman" is ambitious and capable Since Baxter (the name of Burgundy's dog, by the way) we've seen Jim Dial of "Murphy Brown," Bill McNeal in "NewsRadio" and three cartoon favorites: Kent Brockman of "The Simpsons," Tom Tucker of "The Family Guy" and Morbo the alien in "Futurama In his most authoritative tones, he told the viewers: `Tease more news 'Anchorman' Takes Aim at Easy Target Jul 8, 7:40 PM EST Will Ferrell's title character in "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" is faced with a serious female colleague for the first time "If anything, what we discovered was actually the opposite of what we depicted in the movie," he told The Associated Press The comic, unflattering characterization of anchormen recurs for several reasons, according to pop-culture observers and media mavens: â€â€? They're authority figures " But there are a few who conform to the stereotype, as Phil Bremen, a telecommunications professor at Ball State University and former NBC News correspondent, can attest Interestingly, however, a survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press shows consumers regularly turn to local news more than their local paper, network news â€â€? or any other source |
