There’s a story about making “Angie Tribeca” that’s stuck with me. When Jon Hamm signed on for a guest role in the Season 2 premiere, he knew what he was in for: one scene, one line, three words. His character walked into a room, said “See you around,” and left. That’s it. That’s all he had to do. So…easy gig, right?
Not exactly.
“They brought him in at 7 a.m., and just before lunch, we rehearsed with him,” co-star Jere Burns said at a PaleyFest screening last April. “He just sat in his little trailer until we rehearsed. Then, after we rehearsed, we broke for lunch. We didn’t shoot him until after lunch. He could not have been nicer. Most actors, no matter who you are, you’re like, ‘This is so annoying. I have three words. I’ve been waiting around for seven hours.

Helen Brent (Claire Trevor) is in Reno, Nevada for a few days to settle a divorce. She stays at a nearby ‘bed and breakfast’ type establishment where the fun natured caretaker Mrs. Kraft (Esther Howard) and neighbor Laurey Palmer (Isabel Jewell) seem to spend more time drinking and laughing than anything else. Upon visiting a casino one evening, Helen makes eye contact with a tall, square-jawed handsome man named Sam Wilde (Lawrence Tierney), whose family name suites him perfectly. Sam, prone to violent outbursts driven by jealousy and lust, knows Laurey too, even having dated her. When discovering she has a new boyfriend, Sam murders them both in cold blood in a manner that would make Jason Voorhees proud. Sam them follows Helen to San Francisco, hoping to cozy up with the her as well.

If Fame can be reinvented more than 25 years later, perhaps it really can live forever. Now the question becomes, will it ever learn how to fly, high? Man, I can’t shake that theme song.
Fame does have one thing that really intrigues me, the adults in the flick. If it was just the kids who are students at the New York Academy of Performing Arts, it might just blend in with films like Save the Last Dance.
We’ve got Kelsey Grammer, Megan Mullally, Bebe Neuwirth and Debbie Allen (who was in the original film). Each one of these people are talented singers who have nailed it on TV, film or the stage.
Kelsey Grammer who plays Cranston –
Megan Mullally who plays Mrs. Rowan –
BebeNeuwirth who plays Mrs. Kraft –
Debbie Allen who plays Principal Simms –
