y Steven Roche DYNAMIC DUO: Karen Sharpe-Kramer & Katharine “Kat” Kramer Levvy Carriker, Tony Marchase, Juli Ragsdale, Katharine Kat Kramer and Karen Sharpe Golden Globe award-winning actress Karen Sharpe-Kramer and former Miss Golden Globe actress/activist/producer Katharine “Kat” Kramer are teaming up for the first time in the movie TURNOVER; writer/producer/director Linda Palmer’s latest film project that is set to shoot in August. I recently attended a fundraiser dinner for the film at the amazing Cafe Piccolo in Long Beach with my Disney animator and artist friend David Woodman. We were honored to be asked to attend by long-time friends Karen and Kat, and wanted to support this special project. Karen is my “adopted” Mom, and Kat and her sister Jennifer (a very gifted concert pianist) are my “adopted” sisters. When my husband Paul and I got married in 2014, Karen stood in for my Mom and my great friend, designer Robert Nesbitt stood in for my Dad. I lost both my parents in the mid-’90’s, so I was very blessed to have these two amazing individuals walk me down the aisle. It’s a memory and a day I will treasure forever! Karen, Kat and Jennifer are truly a part of Hollywood royalty. Karen is the widow of acclaimed social issue master filmmaker Stanley Kramer. In a career that spanned over 4 decades Stanley received nine (!) Academy Award nominations as a director and producer; winning the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Award in 1961 for JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG. His other landmark films include GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER, SHIP OF FOOLS, HIGH NOON, THE DEFI- ANT ONES, ON THE BEACH and IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. Steven Spielberg famously said “Stanley Kramer was an incredibly talented visionary, and one of our great filmmakers. Not just for the art and passion he put on screen, but for the impact he has made on the conscience of the world.” A long-time lover and frequent visitor to Palm Springs, Karen recently did a book signing for New Zealand author Jennifer Frost’s “Producer of Controversy: Stanley Kramer, Hollywood Liberalism, and the Cold War” at Just Fabulous. Karen and Kat had the audience in rapture, as they recounted behindthe-scenes tales of how Stanley was able to go around and behind the studio system to put his before-their-time stories on the big screen. Karen felt so strongly about the positive messages in Linda Palmer’s TURNOVER screenplay, that she has come out of retirement after 25 years to play the featured role of Pat - one third of a trio of “Ladies who Lunch” at the cafe that’s at the center of the story. She also saw an opportunity to appear for the first time in a feature film with Kat, who has one of the leads in the film, playing the devious and cunning Fran. the multi-ethnic and handi-capable cast also includes entertainment legends Bill Macy (TV’s MAUDE) and Lainie Kazan (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, MY FAVORITE YEAR and the understudy to Barbra Streisand in FUNNY GIRL on Broadway). TURNOVER’s top-notch producing team includes the Coachella Valley’s own Martina Webster, Linda’s frequent producing partner and radio co-host Rae Davis, Brian McCormick and Kat Kramer - following in her Dad’s footsteps. * To learn more about the movie TURNOVER, or to make a tax-deductible donation to help produce it - visit www.TurnoverMovie.com * To purchase a copy of the book “PRODUCER OF CON- TROVERSY...” - visit wwwbjustfabulous.com * For more information about Kat Kramer and her ongoing screening series Kat Kramer’s Films That Change the World - visit www.katkramersfilmsthatchangetheworld.com STEVEN ROCHE - is an award-winning writer/producer with
