10 years?!?! Whaaaat? It feels like yesterday.

I was very lucky to be there in the room when Damian and Helen read love poems to each other from The Love Book, a brilliant collection of classic and contemporary love poems that vary from Shakespeare to E.E. Cummings to Maya Angelou coming together in a book as well as in an app. It was a moving and intimate hour with a powerhouse husband and wife team reading poems, teasing each other, and sharing their dynamic chemistry with the audience.

It turns out that when the festival inquired about a possible video recording of the reading in 2014, Helen and Damian said no. Damian tells The Sunday Times:

The Radleys Review: Love, Addiction and Choices

“The comedic premise of the film is that this family is living this dull, suburban life, and they’ve got a big secret, and no one knows what it is until this event happens in the film. And then the shit hits the fan, all hell breaks loose.” – Damian Lewis.

I finally met The Radleys last Friday at Cinema Village in NYC. And I met them in style, too… with my fangs on! Continue reading “The Radleys Review: Love, Addiction and Choices”

Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis in Noël Coward’s London Calling! – A Centenary Celebration

Damian Lewis is returning to theater stage for a one-night-only charity gala performance in “A Marvellous Party” on November 17 at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. The gala performance is to celebrate the legacy of British playwright and composer Noël Coward and support three charities; namely, The Queen’s Reading Room, the Noël Coward Foundation and Acting For Others, all united in Noël Coward’s belief that the arts belong to everyone.

The Noel Coward Foundation launched Coward 125, a two-year long celebrations of the life and work of Noël Coward, will now culminate in the star-studded “A Marvellous Party” in 2024, Coward’s 125th birth year. Tickets are selling fast!

And for today’s Throwback Thursday, I would like to revisit a Noël Coward celebration that I was very lucky to see in London last fall. Continue reading “Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis in Noël Coward’s London Calling! – A Centenary Celebration”

Revisiting BEST of Life with Charlie Crews

Hello – Holliedazzle here! Welcome, one and all, to the Best of Life with Charlie Crews! In this post, we’ll all be weighing in with our highlights (and lowlights) of the entire series. Let’s jump right in, shall we?

Damianista:

At the center of Life lies the heart and mind of a man who gets his life back, along with a $50M settlement and his LAPD badge, after 12 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Charlie Crews is quirky and charming and funny, but vulnerable and even sinister at times. He’s a walking proof of the wide range Damian Lewis can deliver as an actor. No wonder New York Magazine calls him “the you-can’t take-your-eyes-off-him star” in Life. Damian takes a good network show and elevates it to another level.
