Contest: Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre

Posted on September 9, 2008 at 11:01 am

sleeping beautyjpg From 1982-1987 actress Shelly Duvall produced and hosted a series of fairy tales on Showtime, starring some of Hollywood’s top performers. Christopher Reeve and Matthew Broderick played very charming princes, and princesses included Bernadette Peters as Sleeping Beauty, Susan Sarandon as Beauty, and “Flashdance’s” Jennifer Beals as Cinderella. The costumes and sets were low-budget but very creative, inspired in part by the classic fairy tale illustrations of Maxfield Parrish and Howard Pyle.
The series has just been re-released on DVD and I have FOUR copies to give away! This is such a special prize I want to make sure everyone has a chance to participate. So post a comment, telling me which is your family’s favorite fairy tale and why. The most imaginative and creative responses submitted by the end of the day Sept 30 will win the box set of the complete Faerie Tale Theatre series. U.S. addresses only, please. I look forward to hearing from you!

Posted on July 17, 2008 at 3:00 am

Thinking about going to the beach this summer? So is Bob the Builder! But he’s not on vacation. Even at the beach, he has a lot of projects and a lot of lessons about teamwork and organization. And, as always, he is a lot of fun to watch and learn from.
I have five DVDs to give away to the first five people who send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with “Bob” in the subject line. Good luck!
