Story by: Gail NoblesTaraji Photo: Public Domain WikipediaTammi Terrell Photo: Public Domain Commons.WikimediaHello! I'm Gail Nobles and I want to talk to you again about Taraji P Henson. Taraji P Henson has played in The Color Purple of 2023 according to the Director Blitz Bazawule. She's actually singing in the movie, and she took some vocal lessons. Taraji has done an outstanding job.I could always see Taraji playing the life story of Tammi Terrell not knowing that she could sing.In case you didn't know Tammi Terrell was a singer songwriter widely known as a star singer for Motown records during the 1960s notably for a series of duets with singer Marvin Gaye. Though Taraji has talent in acting and singing, she might not want to play as Tammy Terrell, but she sure would be perfect for the role. If anyone approaches her with a pleasing offer, that would be awesome.I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Actors Stories and Film.
by: Gail NoblesPhoto of Janet: NO3https://flic.kr/p/a15hkHUsage: Wikipedia CC BY 2.0Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to another episode of Actors, Stories, and Film. Today I'm thinking about the time when I was a little girl watching little Janet Jackson as May West. I didn't know who May West was until I had learned who Janet was imitating. May West was before my time. Janet Jackson was amazing acting as May West when she was a little girl. I remember on the TV comedy Good Times when she imitated May West while talking on a CB.“Well, I'm very mature for my age.” She would put her hands on her hip. Janet Jackson was an awesome May West. I think Janet would say her own lines imitating Mae West, but I remember Janet saying a famous line by May West."Why don't you come up and see me sometime.” Janet would pat her hair near the back of her neck just like May West. I haven't seen Janet Jackson act like May West in decades. Now that she's a grown woman, she probably could act out May West better than she did before. Janet could make a small black and white mini movie and bring it in color acting as Mae West with song and dance. She could show off May West’s style and fashion and add her own. In case you're wondering, May West was an American actress singer, comedian, screenwriter, and playwright whose career Spand over seven decades. She was considered a sex symbol, and that's who Janet Jackson is. People consider her also as a sex symbol. I'm Gail Nobles. Today's episode: Janet Jackson as May West.
Voice actor quotes by: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Wikipedia Public DomainTaraji P Hanson is an outstanding actress. We all know that movies are just movies, but Hendon can make them seem real as an actress.I'm thinking about several movies she played in like the movie Hidden Figures. The scene where she has an argument with actor Kevin Costner about the bathroom.“There is no bathroom, .. and I work like a dog!” Thouh Henson is just acting, it doesn't look and sound like it, and that's what we want in acting. She played as Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician.I'm thinking about the movie The Best Of Enemies. She always carried a tough look on her face in that movie."We gonna beat school segregation once and for all!"Henson played as Ann Atwater, a community organizer in Durham, North Carolina. The movie was based on a true story.Then there's another film starring Taraji P Henson. It’s an action film. She plays as Mary Goodwin. She kills her target Marcus Miller in his apartment and she took care of his son Danny. “Hey! your mouth. I told you I wasn't gonna let anybody touch you and I meant it.” The name of that movie is Proud Mary.Taraji P Henson is a strong actress. She has played plenty of great rolls in movies in her Hollywood career.I'm Gail Nobles today's topic: Taraji P. Henson
Keyboardist: Gail NoblesVoice actor: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Kingkongphoto & www.celebrity-photos.comUsage: Wikipedia CC BY-SA 2.0Think is a song written by Aretha Franklin and her then husband Ted White and first recorded by Franklin. It was released as a single in 1968 from her Aretha Now album. The song reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Franklin's seventh top 10 hit in the United States. The song also reached number 1 on the magazine's Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles, becoming her sixth single to top the chart. Aretha Franklin did not only sing her song, but she was an actress while singing it. You can tell when you hear the song that she might have lived it somehow. You can hear it in her voice on the record. Aretha was singing with emotion and feeling she could switch her voice for an example: What ya trying to do to me? What ya trying to do to me?Yeah, Miss Aretha Franklin was something else. She was an actress in her singing. She had the expressions in her face as well as in her voice. She played as Mrs. Murphy in the Blues Brothers singing her song, Think. She was a terrific actress both in singing and for film.Aretha made a remake of Think in 1989 about drinking and driving, telling the people to: think about it before you turn the key. Before you sit in the driver’s seat. A music video was made for the remake.I'm Gail nobles, and you’re listening to a podcast about actors, stories, and film. Today’s topic Aretha Franklin, Think.

Quotes by: Marvin GayeMusic by: Gail NoblesAll voices and vocals by: Gail NoblesSong by: Gail NoblesMarvin Gaye spoke with feeling just as he did when singing. He put words into songs. He spoke words he didn’t sing in songs, but I heard the music and song while he was only speaking. Marvin Gaye quote: You know love is misery. I won’t fall in love. I’ll just be loveful. I’ll be kind and good and just have fun. (Marvin’s words into chorus): “I’m broke. Let Caesar have what he wants.”Marvin Gaye quote: They can take what they want.

Song by: Sharon Paige & Harold Melvin and the Blue NotesSong written by: Kenneth Gamble & Leon HuffActors by: Gail NoblesKeyboardist: Gail NoblesHope That We Can Be Together Soon is a song written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, that was originally recorded by Dusty Springfield as "Let's Get Together Soon" and was included in her 1970 album, A Brand New Me. The track was produced by Gamble and Huff.Now, let’s talk about the 1975 version. The composition scored a hit when it was released by Sharon Paige and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1975. Unlike most of the group's singles from this time period, Melvin handles most of the vocal duties, while Teddy Pendergrass appears for one line and the closing part of the song. Paige took on a more prominent role in the group after Pendergrass left the group for a solo career.Released in 1975 from the album To Be True, the song reached number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart in the summer of that year. It reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.Hope That We Can Be Together Soon is a song I’m sure will come to mind for families that have lived a very far distance away from each other for years distant friends, and most of all lovers.I’m GailNobles, and you’re listening to actors, stories,and film. The Lounge Show. Thank you for listening.
Intro: by Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesAll photos: Public Domain/ Wikipedia.orgThe Temptations & Four TopsIt was Motown 25 when I first saw the Temptations and Four Tops perform together. It was a battle between the two groups in a fun kind of way. I’ll never forget watching them on TV when I heard the announcer say: The Four Tops and The Temptations here to battle it out just like in the old days!The Four Tops began first singing a little bit of their song, Reach Out (I’ll Be There). Then the Temptations began singing a little bit of their song, Get Ready. They kept on that way singing different songs in between.The audience would applaud both groups, and you could hear the excitement in their voices shouting out for them. The Temptations would take over and sing Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops & The Four Tops would end up singing one of the Temptations’ songs. Before long, they were like one group singing one song, and the audience gave them a standing ovation. Motown 25 was a 1983 TV Special. When Motown returned to the Apollo in 1985, The Temptations and the Four Tops had a battle again. Bill Cosby said: If you got a weak heart, you better leave now because I got a feeling something special is about to happen. We call it the battle of the groups.In that battle Levi Stubbs was left in my mind. He was an awesome actor in singing. Melvin from the Temptations would sing something like: Bom dom dom dom dom.And Levi would say: Shut up Melvin!Melvin: Got you that time.Levi: Okay! That’s enough! That’s enough!But it was all love between the two. I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Have a Happy New Year.

There was more to Jackie than baseball. There are some things that were not shown in the movie starring Chadwick Boseman about Jackie. And Parker might be the perfect man to play as Jackie. He could play as young Jackie and an older and retired Jackie with grey hair. People like to see the actors act & look like the real person. Jackie Robinson served as lieutenant in the US Army. He played as a major role in the Civil Rights Movement. He continued to break down racial barriers after leaving baseball. These things could be put into a new movie. They did not focus on the life of Jackie Robinson after he left baseball in the movie starring Boseman. There are things you may not know about Robinson that could make another movie.To me, Nate Parker is a good actor and filmmaker. He played in the movie The Great Debaters starring Denzel Washington, The Birth of a Nation, and American Skin to name a few.I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Movies Unmade.
Keyboard: Gail NoblesArtwork by: Gail NoblesVoice actor: Gail NoblesStory and dialogue intro by: Gail NoblesFighting Sound: SoundBible.comUsage: Public DomainToday’s Topic is Where is Bruce Li.Bruce Li born Ho Chung-Tao is a Taiwanese actor, martial artist and Bruce Lee imitator. You’ve seen him in films such as Fist of Fury 2, Deadly Strike, and Return of the Tiger just to name a few. After Bruce Lee’s death, Bruce Li’s acting career began. Bruce Lee died in 1973, and I was three years old. I saw clips of his funeral at age 3 and went on thinking that I was watching Bruce Lee whenever I saw Bruce Li in Kung Fu films. Thanks to Bruce Li, I remember Bruce Lee. I couldn’t tell them apart.At the movie theater I remember being in a long line with my mother and father just to see a Bruce Lee or a Bruce Li film. It is Bruce Li that I remember the most. I always called him Bruce Lee. My favorite film starring Bruce Li is titled Deadly Strike. He played tough in that one. I also like Fist of Fury 2. Seeing Bruce Li play in those films made it seem like Bruce Lee was still around. He was a great Bruce Lee imitator and great actor. So where is Bruce Li today. In 1985, he ended his career and returned to Taiwan. I wish to see him again in a Kung Fu film as Bruce Li just one more time for old times' sake. Bruce Li is still around, and you can find him on Facebook. It’s great to see him there.I’m Gail Nobles and Today’s Topic is: Where Is Bruce Li?
Story by: Gail NoblesToday's topic is an example of an Oscar. The Academy Awards. If you want to make a great movie and win an Oscar, try doing something never done before.The Ten Commandments was a movie that won an Oscar in 1957 for special effects. It was amazing to see the parting of the Red Sea. It was a Bible story brought to life in film and was exciting to see. The burning bush and seeing the pillar of fire was exciting to see too. I haven't seen another movie done like that one. The movie is a 1956 epic religious drama film produced, directed, and narrated by Cecil B. DeMille, shot in Vista Vision (Color by Technicolor) and released by Paramount Pictures. Today movies seem to be quickly made with computer adding special effects, but when I look at the special effects in the movie of The Ten Commandments, it looks so real. The Wizard of Oz was another great example of an Oscar type of movie and also Gone With the Wind. So if you want to make a great movie and win an Oscar, think of the movies that won oscars. Think of something great to make a movie about. Try to make a movie that you know people would want to see. Some movies are made fast and confusing. Some movies are just not good at all. When I think about how the old movies were made, I can tell that they were made well and made from the heart. We need movies to be made like that today...

NoblesKeyboard player by: Gail NoblesActors by: Gail NoblesSound effects of web webshooter: Soundbible.com and https://www.freesfx.co.ukStan Lee info: Superman VS Spiderman comic bookPhoto Credit: Public DomainStan Lee from Marvel Comics and Carmine Infantino from DC comics had been friends for years. They collaborated on strips in the early days of comics. Stan wrote them and Carmine drew them. They both knew that they couldn't keep their top heroes apart. According to Stan, readers everywhere were demanding a team-up of Superman and Spiderman. And so it happened. Superman VS Spiderman was in the giant DC comic of 1976. There were two villains that teamed up in the comic book, Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus. They combined forces in order to conquer the world and kill both of the men who put them behind bars.Superman mistakenly blames Spiderman for the disappearance of the two women, Lois Lane and Mary Jane. The two of them got into a fight. When Spiderman's punches, instead of staggering Superman, suddenly had little effect, Spiderman calls off the fight. Realizing they had been deceived, Superman suspected a plot by Lex Luthor and Doc Ock. Superman and Spiderman joined forces to fight the two villains. The name of the comic book is "Superman VS The Amazing Spiderman: The Battle of the Century" published by Marvel and DC Comics. I think that the comic book would make an awesome movie. At the same time, you would see two bad villains. One from the DC world and one from the Marvel world combine forces. It's an interesting story. So I know it would make an interesting movie.

Story by: Gail NoblesMusic by: Gail NoblesMale actor by: Gail NoblesPhoto Credit: Young James Brownhttps://www.facebook.com/pg/youngjamesbrownon1/photos/Photo Credit of James Brown: Wikimedia Commons/Ronzoni OwnerUsage: By Ronzoni - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=39935385There was a biopic made of the life of James Brown titled "Get On Up" starring Chadwick Boseman who has done a great job. But we didn't get to see much of the social activist James Brown. I think another movie should be made starring the man James Brown endorsed known as the Godson, Tony Wilson.James Brown said, "We tired of beating our heads against the walls and working for someone else....Black power meant different things to different people, see. To some people it meant black people owning businesses and having a voice in politics.James Brown had great philosophy of his own. He would put it into his music. I believe that Tony Wilson, endorsed as the Young James Brown by The Godfather of Soul himself should play as James Brown. He can dance and sing just like The Godfather. Tony has his looks, voice, and style. He would be perfect for a new James Brown movie. Tony has been on stage with James and was recognized by him for a movie role . Mr. Wilson was asked to be in Tony Scott's Internet-only short film, "Beat the Devil".Now today, Tony is doing the works that James Brown would do singing his own song with a familiar voice titled, "Fight the Power". It would be great to see him in a new James Brown movie and repeat the things that James Brown said, "You know, in Augusta, Georgia I used to shine shoes on the steps of a radio station.....But today, I own that radio station.......That's black power."I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to Movies Unmade.
Story by: Gail NoblesArtwork by: Gail NoblesFrom free photo by: Joshua van der Schyff on Unsplash.comHawk sound: https://www.freesfx.co.uk/sfx/hawkToday's topic is Hawkmen!In the movie "Flash Gordon', we see the Hawkmen appear. But where do they com from? Prince Vultan is the Prince of the bird like Hawkmen in the Flash Gordon comic strip and it's adaptations. Vultan and his people dwell in Sky City, a metropolis that floats in the sky. Vultan and the other Hawkmen provoked some controversy at the time of publication. Some Christian leaders regarded the characters as blasphemous because they resembled angels.A movie could be made about the hawkmen alone. In the movie, it can be said that the Hawkmen were created by scientists and thy flew to an undiscovered planet. And they could say that the people on earth felt threatened by the Hawkmen. On the undiscovered planet, the bird like men could become a kingdom and become a divided kingdom. It could be said that's how Vultan and part of the Hawkmen started dwelling in Sky City. I picture Vultan as a tall, muscular, and mighty Hawkman with the characteristics of a king, pirate, viking, hawk, and man. He could look dreadful to ordinary men because of his great wings and tall stature.Until next time, goodbye friends! You're listening to Movies Unmade.

He fights only when it is necessary and for good reason.In Kung Fu, there are different types of styles and techniques. That’s why Abbas is the wheel. Kung Fu can go on and on. You can imagine the wheel and glow of Abbas moving in different directions. He might move to the left, he might move to the right, he might move backwards, and he might move forward. If you don’t know Kung Fu, fighting against Abbas is a lesson to learn. There is deadly force in the wheel, but only used when necessary.Abbas Alizada is the Afghan Bruce Lee. He continues where Bruce Lee left off. He was the first wheel. Abbas has his spirit in Kung Fu.Author (Gail Nobles) Abbas Alizada is known as Bruce Lee of Afghanistan.
