Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,
ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS), announces the following breaking news in this Online News Update "bulletin."

--- DAVID SELBY - NEW MOVIE RELEASE & FALCON CREST TRIBUTE
--- DONNA WANDREY - STARRING IN "THE GLASS MENAGERIE"
--- JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT - SPECIAL EVENT
--- ROY THINNES - CONVENTION APPEARANCE
--- ANNOUNCING:  PLANNED  NEW DS MERCHANDISE

**** DAVID IN "THE SOCIAL NETWORK"
**** DAVID & SUSAN SULLIVAN TO ATTEND "FALCON CREST" TRIBUTE
--- SG previously reported David's (Quentin) role as "Gage" in THE SOCIAL NETWORK, which opened nationwide Oct. 1. Industry, critical, and public interest has been very high for the movie.
David's wife Chip tells SG: "David has a small but very nice role in the big film opening on Oct. 1st, The Social Network. We saw a screening - very well made morality study of the beginnings of Facebook."
Written by the acclaimed Aaron Sorkin (THE WEST WING), the movie follows the development of Facebook by two Harvard undergrads in 2003, tracing as the internet network explodes into a worldwide phenomenon worth billions within a few years. LA Times 9-26: Star Andrew Garfield: "The themes are universal: friendship, betrayal, power, greed, filial obligation, differing value systems, success, money. It's all very Shakespearean. It's Greek" in its personal and professional tragedies. "Everyone's right and everyone's wrong. It's all gray."
The new SG #119 print issue will feature interviews, articles, reviews, and other media coverage for the film.
--- SG just received confirmation that DAVID will participate in FALCON CREST: A LOOK BACK at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles on 10-12 at 7:00 pm. SUSAN SULLIVAN (DS Ghost), who played his FC wife "Maggie Gioberti Channing," also is scheduled to attend.
David starred as "Richard Channing" in the primetime drama from its 2nd season (1982) through 1990. That complete 2nd season DVD now is available from www.wbshop.com
The prestigious Paley event hosts other cast members and series creator Earl Hmaner, who all will discuss the series and comment on selected  FC episodes/scenes to be shown.
Paley publicity: "Ah, the decadent eighties. America exhibited an unquenchable thirst for nighttime soaps; witness the phenomenal success of Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, and this Napa Valley-set CBS sudser, pivoting on the battle for control of Falcon Crest Wineries between the virtuous Chase Gioberti (Robert Foxworth) and the conniving Angela Channing (Jane Wyman, Oscar-winner and Ronald Reagan's ex). Falcon Crest was created by-of all people-Earl Hamner, whose previous foray into family drama, The Waltons, was the anti-prime-time soap: wholesome, chaste, and poor. Falcon Crest, by contrast, was all about money, power, sex, and wine. Come relive the Reagan years as Hamner and the cast look back on one of the most popular and exemplary shows of the decade."
Tickets are $10 for Paley Center members, $15 for non-members.
The Paley Center for Media is located at 465 North Beverly Dr. in Beverly Hills, CA.

**** DONNA WANDREY STARS IN CLASSIC PLAY
Donna (Roxanne Drew) tells SG she stars as "Amanda Wingfield" in Tennessee Williams' tragic play THE GLASS MENAGERIE, 10-6/24 at the Vermont Stage Lake Champlain Regional Theatre. Performances are Wed.-Sat. at 7:30pm and Sat.-Sun.  at 2pm.
The Vermont  Stage Company offers "professional theatre in an intimate setting." http://www.vtstage.org/
Theater publicity: "Vermont Stage Company presents Tennessee Williams' autobiographical masterpiece at FlynnSpace in Burlington. The story of Tom, a young writer, his fiercely optimistic mother Amanda, and Laura, his beloved and broken-hearted sister, this delicate and haunting memory play is a true classic of the American theatre."
FlynnSpace is located at 153 Main St.,Burlington, VT 05401. 802-863-5966.
Tickets range from $24.30 to $32.50 and can be purchased through the Flynn Box Office at 86-FLYNN. www.flynntix.org.

*** JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT & HitRECord.org PRESENT CREATIVE EVENT
Joe (1991 DS' David, Daniel) is an acclaimed actor for his roles in popular films like the summer box office smash INCEPTION, the 2009 award-nominated  (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, and numerous, sometimes controversial, independent movies. Yet he's also "Regular Joe," the encouraging face and voice of HitRECord.org
Website welcome: "HITRECORD.ORG is a project I started almost 5 years ago now, and in 2010, we've evolved into a professional open collaborative production company. We create and develop art and media collaboratively here on our site. Even this introductory video is the remixed result of a great many contributions. So rather than just exhibiting and admiring each other's work as isolated individuals, we gather here to collectively work on projects together. Videos, writing, photography, music, anything -- we call them all RECords. "
Their FALL FORMAL event is planned for 10-28 at 8:00. Publicity follows.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of New York! Summer is gone and Autumn has come - you know what that means... It's time to put on a show!

"THE HITRECORD.ORG FALL FORMAL!

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt & the Hitrecord.org Fall Formal - Oct. 28."

Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,
 
ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS), announces the following breaking news in this Online News Update "bulletin."
 

--- JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT & FAMILY - LOSS OF HIS BROTHER DAN
--- ROY THINNES - CONVENTION APPEARANCE THIS WEEKEND
 

*** JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT
 
Joe (1991 DS' David, Daniel) often has said how important and influential his olderr brother Dan is to his life and his personal creative endeavors. SG sadly reports that Dan passed away at age 36 at his Hollywood home early on Oct. 4.
 
Joe announced his brother's passing on Twitter Tuesday evening, "My super hero brother @burningdan 1974-2010. Celebrate his life here ~ http://bit.ly/dBTMQ8 because he's f------ awesome."
 
The site Joe cites above is part of his collaborative site www.hitRECord.org  His Twitter message is posted there and can be reached by going to: 
http://v4.hitrecord.org/users/RegularJOE
 
Information from initial media reports follow.
 
Dan was a performance artist known as "Burning Dan," a talented fire dancer, perceptive photographer, and creatove spirit. He taught flow arts, which he described as "a combination of performance art and dance and meditation and yoga and sort of self-transformation, to give you a fun way of doing something that's really good for you and helps you be an even smoother, more awesome person than you already were." Dan started a school in Los Angeles to share his passion of flow arts."It's one of the things I love about the flow arts community around the world -- is how giving, generous and sharing everybody is," he said of his profession.
 
The two brothers shared a close relationship, together conceptualizing the website hitRECORD.org, an online community of artists and filmmakers, and eventually seeing it evolve into a popular destination for creatives since its creation about 5 years ago.
 
Joe wrote: "BURNING dAN brightly embodied that bold beastly bliss sometimes referred to as 'the creative spirit.' He was my chief collaborator on the foundational incarnations of hitRECord.org over the years and continues to inspire us ever the more. He would absolutely positively insist that we not let this bad news deter us on our collective mission. That said, I might not feel up to it for a little while. Watching this community blossom into what it has become never ceased to amaze him and me. We would regularly marvel at it and high five. Thank you all for that. There he is now pouring heaping hollowed watermelons full of love over each and every one of us..... See you real soon,  thanks again."
 
Dan...was known for his involvement in the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada, as well as being an active photographer and fire dancer. He founded the Flow Temple, a school and performance group for Flow Arts that was based in Venice, Calif.
 
As Joseph's older brother, Dan beamed over the actor's success saying, "It's wonderful to be mistaken for him. He taught me to question the relationships other people have with their siblings because he would be my favorite person in the world even if I wasn't lucky enough to know him as my brother. He's just awesome in every way that I pay attention to. I ask myself 'do I love him because he's my brother or is he really that awesome?' He's really, really awesome."
 
Early reports say Dan "was found unresponsive in his Hollywood home in the early morning hours of Monday, according to the LA County Coroner. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death was unknown and an autopsy was pending."
 

**** ROY THINNES HORROR CONVENTION APPEARANCE
