  Jackson Beck, 92; his voice became staple of radio shows - The Boston Globe

Beck's craft was a particular one, a different sort of acting that required the unusual ability to achieve intimacy with an audience of invisible millions.
Beck appeared as a voice in two Woody Allen movies, ''Radio Days," a tribute to the golden era of radio, and ''Take the Money and Run." He worked until the mid-1990s, which was essentially until he couldn't work anymore.

I have been inspired by American Expressionists artworks particularly those of Willem de Kooning, early Jackson Pollock, and Joan Mitchell.
I admire current artists that use traditional materials in non-traditional ways such as Josh Dorman's use of multiple points of perspective and media within a single piece, or Beatriz Milhaze's unique layering technique.

Allen plays Virgil Starkwell, a music-loving nebbish who turns to a life of crime at an early age and, undaunted by his utter and complete failure to pull off a single successful robbery, continues his unbroken spree of bungled heists and prison breaks even after he marries and raises a family.

Allen spoofs decades of crime films, everything from I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang to Bonnie and Clyde, but you don't have to know the movies to enjoy this goofy, sometimes clumsy, but quite clever comedy.
