Santa Monica, CA 90403
Entertainer Harry Belafonte's entire life has been about breaking barriers. He rose out of a poverty-stricken childhood to become the first performer ever to sell a million album copies (with his Calypso in 1956.) His stardom during the civil rights era straddled racial barriers that were only just being addressed. Throughout his career, he's befriended many important figures in both entertainment and politics--Paul Robeson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sidney Poitier, John F. Kennedy, Marlon Brando, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro. In his new memoir, My Song, he writes about them-and his own life-with candor and insight.
Tim Robbins is the Artistic Director of the Actors' Gang, formed in 1981. The Actors' Gang has performed in over 40 US states and has toured internationally to London, Athens, Melbourne, Brisbane, Mexico, Spain and Hong Kong. Having won the Academy Award as well as numerous other artistic accolades over the course of his career, Tim's recent projects include the film "The Green Lantern" and HBO's "Cinema Verite", and he has just completed shooting the upcoming film "Thanks for Sharing." Yet his passion for the stage has kept him deeply engaged as the Artistic Director at The Gang for 30 years.
