Happy birthday, Wallace Shawn! (November 12, 1943)

Best known as an actor in films such as The Princess Bride and My Dinner With Andre, Wallace Shawn is also a playwright and a political Marxist, having written a number of socialist essays and the left-wing play The Fever, which was later adapted into a film. Shawn is also a longtime supporter of the Palestinian people and an anti-Zionist Jew, sitting on the board of Jewish Voice for Peace. In 2023 as Israel carried out a genocidal campaign in Gaza, Shawn was one of many who spoke at a protest in front of the White House organized by JVP and IfNotNow, calling on President Joe Biden to demand a ceasefire.

"A naked woman leans over a fence. A man buys a magazine and stares at her picture. The destinies of these two are linked. The man has paid the woman to take off her clothes, to lean over the fence. The photograph contains its history—the moment the woman unbuttoned her shirt, how she felt, what the photographer said. The price of the magazine is a code that describes the relationships between all these people—the woman, the man, the publisher, the photographer—who commanded, who obeyed. The cup of coffee contains the history of the peasants who picked the beans, how some of them fainted in the heat of the sun, some were beaten, some were kicked."

Andre had just explained to George that he'd just been watching the Ingmar Berman movie "Autumn Sonata" and he'd been seized by a fit of ungovernable crying when the character played by Ingrid Bergman had said, "I could always live in my art, but never in my life."

-- My Dinner With Andre / 1981

YEAH I’LL SAY IT

…

I don’t think there’s enough fanfiction for the princess bride, if you haven’t seen it, go watch. If you like action/romance/adventure/comedy movies go watch. You like hot actors in period clothing? Go watch.
