Frank Langella. The New Jersey-born Italian American actor began his career with Mel Brooks' The Twelve Chairs, but his big break came in 1977 when he starred in the Broadway revival of Dracula, leading to a major film adaptation that established him as a sex symbol. In 2006, he experienced a career resurgence with his portrayal of Richard ...
Langella first appeared in Diary of a Mad Housewife, followed by Mel Brooks' The Twelve Chairs. His big break, however, was in the revival of Dracula. In 1979 a movie followed and launched his film and stage career. He traveled the world and appearing in such acclaimed plays as The White Devil, Amadeus, The Tempest, Cyrano, and Design for a ...
New York Times By Vimal Patel May 5, 2022. Frank Langella, who was fired in April from his leading role in a Netflix mini-series after a misconduct investigation, said on Thursday that his dismissal followed a love scene in which the actress playing his wife accused him of touching her leg — an action not in the script.
Frank Langella's Skeletor performance was Oscar worthy. Think about it, if they are now nominating garbage like Angela Bassett's Wakanda Forever performance, Langella's masterful Shakespearean villain needs a reappraisal. IMO it's up there with Laurence Olivier as Richard III and Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford.
Richard Benjamin was the go to obnoxious Upper Westside NYC Jewish guy for late 1960's into 1970's it seems. Diary of a Mad Housewife, Portony's Complaint. Marriage of a Young Stockbroker, Portnoy's Complaint, The Steagle, Goodbye, Columbus.. All variations of same sort of cocky, arrogant, self centered, but often deeply troubled Jewish guy.
Mr. Langella went through a very rough patch in 1980's which took a bit of time to climb out of. By time he did the gorgeous hunk of Dracula and "Diary of a Mad Housewife" had pretty much vanished. For what it's worth Central Park West from roughly starting in 60's up to 96th then and now is full of actors, dancers and other performing artists.
Frank Langella FIRED for misconduct! Sexual harassment! Sexual assault! Inappropriate touching! They better replace him with a trans woman of color! Dear God, ‘making inappropriate comments to a female co-star’ could nowadays mean he said “Good morning, what a lovely dress”. I saw him in Dracula on Broadway in 1978.
Per Flanagan, Langella will play Roderick Usher, “the towering patriarch of the Usher dynasty,” McDonnell is set as Madeline Usher, “Roderick’s twin sister and the hidden hand of the Usher dynasty,” Lumbly is taking on “Poe’s legendary investigator C. Auguste Dupin,” and Hamill has been cast as “a character surprisingly at ...
November 8, 2014 12:22 AM. LOVED it. Not of the same caliber, another obscure early 70s must-see NY movie is The Possession of Joel Delaney, with Shirley MacLaine and Perry King. Shot mostly on the UES and Washington Heights, it ends at Fire Island Pines in a blithering mess of camp and trash. Offsite Link.
It’s still a boy’s club in Hollywood, and the boys will rally around an actor like Langella with a 60-year career behind him by making sure she never works in that town again. It’s a backlash to the Me-Too movement which has made firing any male actor for saying, looking or god forbid touching someone on set of the opposite sex instant ...
