	Cameron Mitchell (actor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cameron Mitchell (born November 4, 1918 in Dallastown, Pennsylvania - died July 6, 1994 in Pacific Palisades, California) was an American film and television actor with close ties to one of Canada's most powerful families.
		Mitchell's film career began with minor roles in films dating back to 1945, but he began honing his TV acting skills as early as 1940 when he appeared in an experimental television drama broadcast.
		Beginning in the 1960s, however, Mitchell began appearing in an extensive string of foreign films and B-movies that lasted, almost unbroken, for the rest of his life.

	Mitchell (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mitchell is a 1975 film starring Joe Don Baker as a flabby, alcoholic police detective.
		This arouses suspicion in Detective Mitchell (roused from his nap in the back of a police cruiser), but he is told to close the case and start a stakeout on Cummings (Martin Balsam).
		Two minor actors in the film, Ronald "Duffy" Hambleton and Gary "Whiz Kid" McLarty were crucial witnesses for the prosecution in the California jury trial that acquitted actor Robert Blake of murder.

	Boston.com / Your Life / Health & Fitness / Diseases & Treatments / Gordon Mitchell, beefy film actor, 80
		Mitchell, who lived in Italy and filmed there from 1961 to 1989, was featured in the Swords and Sandals Festival presented in June by the Film and Television Archive of the University of California, Los Angeles.
		His showcased film was the 1961 "The Giant of Metropolis," in which he portrayed the title's prehistoric, loincloth-clad muscleman who endures torture in a weird futuristic world.
		Mitchell told the Los Angeles Times during the festival, adding that he often worked on three films at once and trained constantly off-camera, often lifting rocks when no barbells were available.

	Medal of Honor Recipients on Film: William Mitchell
		Mitchell was essentially awarded the medal posthumously as an apology from the United States Government, after having been court-martialed and his career terminated for being too outspoken an advocate of air power and an independent Air Force.
		Mitchell was court-martialed in October 1925 for insubordination in a highly publicized trial, with many notable names in the aviation field testifying in his defense, including former wartime subordinates fighter ace Eddie Rickenbacker and then-Congressman and future Mayor of New York City Fiorello LaGuardia.
		It was the second film in which Gary Cooper had the title role as a Medal of Honor recipient, 14 years after his Oscar-winning performance as Alvin C. York.

	Radha Mitchell / Man On Fire Interview
		Luminous Aussie actress Radha Mitchell may never intended to be a successful actress here in Tinsel Town, but the 31-year old Melbourne native is part of that elite group of Australians who have rapidly established themselves as the best of the best in Hollywood.
		Before Mitchell was ' discovered' here in the Indie film High Art, she had been a university student where she had studied with would-be director Emma-Kate Croghan, who cast her in the director's film debut, Love and other Catastrophes.
		Mitchell says that while most women are able to relate to her character, her own sense of identification is limited.

	The Flat Hat: News
		Mitchell, who is also an entertainment critic for National Public Radio, said he was attending the Toronto Film Festival Sept. 11, 2001, and recounted how he learned of the attack on New York as he exited a movie screening.
		Mitchell also criticized the people that predicted movies would respond to the tragedy in the same way that they did to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
		Mitchell also said that he does not blame movie violence for crimes that young people commit, "but a lot of violence is a part of movies that was never intended for kids," he said.

		In the film, young Hansel (Mitchell) agrees to marry an American GI in order to escape his home in Communist East Germany.
		Mitchell may be a neophyte when it comes to directing movies, but his hipster reputation makes him a favorite with the Sundance press.

	John Cameron Mitchell tests limits with explicit new film \| News \| Advocate.com
		Four years after Mitchell put on a coifed blond wig and punk-rock T-shirt to become an East German transgender singer in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the director is pushing new boundaries with an unfiltered look at sexual relationships that promises to make The Brown Bunny and Mysterious Skin look tame by comparison.
		The film revolves around a salon of the Gertrude Stein model from the early 1900s, where artists, writers, musicians, and intellectuals converged to share their works and discuss new ideas in art and politics.
		Mitchell's version attracts an updated assortment of regulars culled from New York's burlesque and gay performing arts communities—or, as he says, the kinds of people who belonged on the "short bus" for gifted and challenged children in elementary school.

		CNN came to the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to talk to Mitchell, 37, about this touching tale of an East German immigrant, and learn exactly why that inch is so angry.
		Mitchell: Hedwig used to be a boy in East Germany before the (Berlin) wall came down, and the only was to get out was to marry an American GI.
		Mitchell: I prefer to be like George Bush where there are no expectations, and if you did something good, it's like, "George Bush did a good job."...I think we did a good job.

	CBC.ca - Arts - Film - The Camera Never Lies
		Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon were two enterprising filmmakers from Blackburn, Lancashire, who travelled the north of England at the turn of the last century with a state-of-the-art hand-cranked camera shooting footage of ordinary people in public places.
		The 35-mm film from the early 20th century was scratched, worn down, shrunken and discoloured.
		Because the films were recorded using a hand-crank, the speed of the motion onscreen varied from one reel to the next, depending on which of the two filmmakers pulled the crank, and whether or not he was feeling particularly vigorous on that day.

	FILMMAKER MAGAZINE \| Spring 2001: All of Me
		Mitchell’s film adaptation of his musical theater piece about a rock-and- roll German transsexual, went on to win the Dramatic Audience Award.
		Mitchell plays the title character, the glam-band-fronting survivor both of a botched sex-change operation and the betrayal of her lover and songwriting partner, a quasi-Goth pop star named Tommy Gnosis.
		Mitchell and Trask performed versions of Hedwig over the course of three years in rock clubs ("to keep the rock integrity," as Mitchell says) before mounting a stage production in the beautifully decrepit ballroom of a hotel on the West Side Highway, the Jane Street Theater, where it ran for over two years.

	American Masters . Joni Mitchell \| PBS
		The remarkable and profound stylistic changes that Joni Mitchell has gone through are, in a real and poetic sense, a reliving of the journey of Western culture from the idealism of the classical-romantic tradition into the "darkness of our Modern age".
		Joni Mitchell, whose original artistic vision rested squarely within that classic idealism found, as others have, a totally new energy in the Modern age that has nothing to do with either classicism or romanticism.
		Joni Mitchell's first album Song to a Seagull was evidence of a musical style still connected to classical ideals of beauty.

	Film - August 2, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Never having seen the play, I can’t comment on the adaptation, but the film’s stage origins are all but invisible, except in the scenes where Hedwig and her band are actually performing Stephen Trask’s driving, irresistible glam-rock songs.
		For example, Mitchell garnishes the film with animated sequences by Emily Hubley illustrating the film’s premise--the Platonic fable about how humans were once four-armed, four-legged creatures with twin faces, split in two by a jealous Zeus and condemned to wander the earth forever searching for their other half.
		The atmosphere of the film is fraught with androgyny.

	'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'
		Mitchell also directs and plays the title role in a film adaptation that takes full advantage of a medium that the rock crowd can live with.
		Although the stage and film versions are equally raunchy, Mitchell surgically removed some of the stage narration to avoid offending broader film audiences (Hedwig's jingle for the Serbian tourist bureau: "We've cleansed ourselves for you").
		Mitchell's film direction botches the effect, however, leaving Shor with, well, less to work with.

	Filming a fractured life
		The MTV effect "Jonathan is a member of that first generation, where (someone) was theoretically able to film his entire life, because of the consumer video cameras that were first available in the early 1980s," said Mitchell, the creator of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and one of "Tarnation's" executive producers.
		Even more important, the film feels like an antidote to so many false and glossy American independent movies of the past decade - especially the gay-themed coming-of-age films of recent years, such as "Trick" and "The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love," that are soft-pedaled and empty-headed.
		In the film, Caouette confesses to cruising gay clubs asa teen-ager - and he includes a number of disturbing images of himself, naked and covered in blood, that clearly illustrate the depths of his adolescent confusion.

	A movie full of sex, nothing simulated (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The working title of Mitchell's film is "Shortbus," from the name of a salon where the characters meet to give readings and performances, and sometimes to have public sex.
		Mitchell is creating "Shortbus" in much the same way he made "Hedwig," with little money and through improvisations - in "Hedwig's" case, in downtown clubs and workshops.
		Mitchell, whose father, Gen. John H. Mitchell, was U.S. military commander in West Berlin from 1984 to 1988, based the character of "Hedwig" on an East German baby sitter who also worked as a prostitute in her trailer.

		But with his film adaptation of his own Off-Broadway smash, in which he stars as a transsexual punk-rock prima donna, John Cameron Mitchell may forever be known as the title character of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
		Mitchell, on the other hand, is 180-degrees from his screen persona -- a soft-spoken and unpretentious bantamweight 38-year-old who looks ten years younger, and not unlike a male Rachel Griffiths.
		Today Mitchell is crashing out in his hotel room, dressed casually in teal corduroy pants and a flannel shirt and popping individually wrapped chocolate bonbons.
