 Jane Wagner - Biography
Wagner was born and raised in Morristown, Tennessee, where she enjoyed writing at an early age; by the time she was in high school, she was also drawn to the theater.
Wagner made her writing debut with the acclaimed CBS teleplay, J.T. (1969), a special for which she won the Peabody Award.
It was J.T. that brought Wagner to the attention of Lily Tomlin, who was seeking the help of a writer for her television character, the precocious six year old, Edith Ann, whom Tomlin made famous on the hit television show, Laugh In.

 Jane Eaglen - Wagner, Berg and Strauss Arias   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The CD begins with five Poems for Female Voice by Richard Wagner, with texts by Mathilde Wesendonck, written in 1857 (she was an amateur poet, Wagner's mistress and the inspiration for Isolde and Sieglinde).
There is little of the strong melodrama of Wagner in the music, but the music and singing is a tribute that facilitates the poetic memories and deep feelings of happiness, loss and recollections in the texts of the five poems: "The Angel", "Stand Still", "In the Greenhouse", "Agonies", and "Dreams".
Jane Eaglen is the anointed Wagner soprano du jour, and her big, voluptuous tone and nuanced expression are made to order for these works.

Wagner and her former firm, Palo Alto, Calif.-based Cooley Godward, face the prospect of sharing liability for the teen's death and for the $25 million Naeun's father, Young Ki Yoon, has demanded in compensation.
Wagner, however, is unlikely to be able to pay a large judgment, should the jury find her liable.
Wagner was fired after the accident and pleaded guilty to the felony crime of failing to stop at the scene of an accident.

The Wagner and Cooley Godward trial could have costly implications for businesses across the nation whose productivity is tied to the hours their employees spend on mobile phones, which have expanded the boundaries of the modern office.
Likewise, in the suit against Wagner and her law firm, it might not be easy for the Yoon family's attorneys to show that Wagner's firm should share responsibility for the fatal accident.
Wagner did not stop after the accident, even though her Mercedes had struck Yoon with enough force to break a headlight and shatter the corner of its windshield.

 97 Wn. App. 344, STATE v. WAGNER
The State charged Wagner with failing to remain at the scene of an accident in violation of RCW 46.52.020(1).
The State does contend that the accident involving Wagner resulted in injury to Jarmuth's dead body; that a dead body is a person within the meaning of the statute; and thus that the accident involving Wagner resulted in injury to a person.
Wagner responds by citing the rule of lenity and various statutes.

 The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe - Jane Wagner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
As Jane Wagner and Lily Tomlin depict her on the stage, though, Trudy is an acute observer with a knack for finding common sense and decent human values in the absurdities of modern life.
It's a tribute to the witty and incisive writing of Jane Wagner that her 1986 award-winning script, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, created for her partner, Lily Tomlin, remains fresh--as perceptive and pointed fifteen years later and every bit as rich in laughs now as it was back then.
There's an extended riff on the development of language and the strangeness of human history: "We were hunters and gatherers and then all of a sudden we were party-goers." The look back to the early enthusiasms of feminism have the grace of self-mockery without in the least devaluing its accomplishments.

Stretching their limited funds, Wagner and DiFeliciantonio maintained a stick-with-it-and-things-will-happen philosophy, hoping that, with a bit of tenacity, they could capture on tape the process of four girls developing into women.
But DiFeliciantonio and Wagner also discovered that their four subjects, each the child of an increasingly rough urban world, were forced to cope with some intimidating and relatively new teenage hurdles.
Wagner's short film Tom's Flesh won an award at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival, and she also created the acclaimed films Hearts and Quarks and Women, Children and AIDS.

 Wagner's Sources - 4
Wagner's chief source for this episode is NL, at least to the extent that he found in NL the idea that it is necessary AT THE OUTSET to deceive Bruennhilde.
Wagner follows NL in making Gunther's wooing of Bruennhilde from the start a matter of treachery and betrayal, though the motivation, of course, is different - no-one is acting independently, of his own volition, both Gunther and Siegfried are acting in accordance with Hagen's plans for them.
Wagner obviously drew the idea of an actual struggle to defeat Bruennhilde from NL - it is not present in the Norse literature - but in NL, Brunhild sets the conditions for the combat herself,and her defeat is not socrushing a humiliation as it is in GOETTERDAEMMERUNG.

 Jane Eaglen - Tristan & Isolde   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Wagner, compressing the ancient tale, fashioned from it a new kind of music drama, a drama of inwardness rather than incident, more audible in the orchestra than visible on the stage.
Biographers of Wagner have heard in Tristan the echoes of his life, and a myriad of influences, particularly the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, have been identified and explored.
But these, however interesting, are not the ultimate sources of the opera's power, which can be felt at its fullest in the prelude to Act 1, the great love duet of Act 2, and the monologue of the delirious Tristan in Act 3.

Jane McGonigal: I was working off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway in New York City for two years before I started graduate school at UC Berkeley.
Wagner wrote of his desire for a total performance genre, through which "the public, that representation of daily life, forgets the confines of the auditorium, and lives and breathes now only in the artwork which seems to it as Life itself, and on the stage which seems the wide expanse of the whole World."
