I first heard about George & Tammy shortly after my memoir, The Three of Us: Growing Up With Tammy and George, came out in 2011, and I did have some initial concerns about how my parents would be portrayed in a television series based on their lives. Would the show pursue a line of honesty and really tell the full truth of my parents’ story, or would it be something sensationalized by Hollywood? After many, many conversations with the creative team and understanding their view, I was won over. Today, I feel like they stayed true to their word — they really did achieve what they sought to accomplish. George Jones and Tammy Wynette have been the subjects of many publications, TV shows and documentaries, many of which harp on…

PARKS AND RECREATION (2009-15) Plaza played April Ludgate, the monotonic and cynical intern and later assistant to Nick Offerman’s grumpy libertarian Ron Swanson, for seven seasons on NBC’s Amy Poehler-led comedy series. NED RIFLE (2014) In the final film in Hal Hartley’s trilogy, which also includes Henry Fool and Fay Grim, Plaza plays a woman who disrupts the title character’s search for his long-lost father, Henry — with whom Plaza’s Susan has unfinished business. THE LITTLE HOURS (2017) Plaza made her producing debut on Jeff Baena’s black comedy as one of three nuns (with Alison Brie and Kate Micucci) whose convent life is turned upside down upon the arrival of a handsome man (Dave Franco) on the lam. INGRID GOES WEST (2017) Plaza also produced this dark comedy from Matt…

Cinematographer Chris Teague was excited to experiment stylistically in the season two finale of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, just before Paul Rudd — as actor Ben Glenroy, appearing in Oliver Putnam’s (Martin Short) play that co-stars Steve Martin’s Charles-Haden Savage — collapses in the final scene. Shot in the United Palace Theater in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, “It gave us an opportunity to do something more bold and tie in a lot of the influences and themes of the show,” he says. Those influences included Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, 1958 films that inspired the bluish hue of the background scrim. “Having a space where we could use hard lighting, and it made sense in the scene, was really a lot of fun,” Teague says.…

LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES Jeff Bridges, The Old Man At 73, “The Dude” is a beloved legend who, for his portrayal of a retiree with a past on the freshman FX show, earned raves and his second Emmy nom, 13 years after his first (for a turn in a TV movie). But his series received just one other nom, for cinematography, not a good sign for his chances. Kieran Culkin, Succession Twice previously nominated in the supporting category for playing Roman, he received his best reviews yet for this season, especially for the episode in which he tries to eulogize his father. But, as with his character, the question is whether people see him as a top dog. Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us This breakout star’s rookie…

Eric Appel had much to celebrate the morning of July 12, when his film Weird: The Al Yankovic Story picked up eight Emmy nominations. The Roku Channel film earned a nod for best TV movie, plus individual notices for star Daniel Radcliffe’s lead performance as “Weird Al” Yankovic as well as for Appel and Yankovic’s script. The film, which tells the incredibly untrue story of the parody musician’s rise to fame and fortune — before becoming manipulated by a devious Madonna (Evan Rachel Wood), who plans to use Yankovic’s stardom to her own advantage — began as a 2010 Funny or Die fake trailer starring Aaron Paul as Yankovic. After years of hearing from fans that they hoped for a real Yankovic biopic, the musician reteamed with Appel to produce…
