Fame (1982 TV series)

Fame is an American television series originally produced between 1982 and 1987 by Eilenna Productions in association with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television. The show is based on the 1980 motion picture of the same name. Using a mixture of drama and music, it followed the lives of the students and faculty at the fictional New York City High School for the Performing Arts. Although fictional, it was based heavily on the actual Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Most interior scenes were filmed in Hollywood, California. In all seasons except the third, the show filmed several exterior scenes on location in New York City. Season 4 featured 18-year-old Janet Jackson as one of the students.

The popularity of the series, particularly in the UK, led to several hit records and live concert tours by the cast. Despite its success, very few of the actors maintained high-profile careers after the series was cancelled. A number of the cast members were seen again briefly in Bring Back...Fame, a reunion special made for UK television in 2008.

Gene Anthony Ray

Gene Anthony Ray (May 24, 1962 November 14, 2003) was an American actor, dancer, and choreographer. He was known for his portrayal of dancer Leroy Johnson in both the 1980 film Fame and the 19821987 Fame television series based upon the film.

Early life

Born in Harlem, New York on May 24, 1962, Ray grew up in the neighborhood of West 153rd Street. He began performing early in life, street dancing at block parties. He performed in a dance class at the Julia Richman High School; he skipped school one day to audition for Fame choreographer, Louis Falco.

Ray attended the New York High School of the Performing Arts, the inspiration for the film Fame, but was kicked out after one year. "It was too disciplined for this wild child of mine," Ray's mother, Jean E. Ray said.

Career

Ray won the part of Leroy Johnson in the film, Fame, which was released in 1980. Much like his Fame character, Ray had little professional training, but he possessed a raw talent that won him his role for the film.

Early life

Hague was born as Albert Marcuse to a Jewish family in Berlin, Germany. His father, Harry Marcuse, was a psychiatrist and a musical prodigy, and his mother, Mimi (née Heller), a chess champion. His family considered their Jewish heritage a liability and raised him as a Lutheran. Hague came to America in 1939 on scholarship to the University of Cincinnati. After graduating in 1942, he served in the United States Army during World War II.

Career

Hague's Broadway Musicals include Plain and Fancy (1955),Redhead (1959),Cafe Crown (1964), and The Fig Leaves Are Falling (1969, with lyrics by Allan Sherman).

Famous songs he wrote include "Young and Foolish", "Look Who's in Love" and "Did I Ever Really Live?" He was the composer for the TV musical cartoon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and some songs in the 2000 musical version. He also was an actor, most notably on the TV series Fame, where he played Benjamin Shorofsky, the music teacher. It was a part he originated in the film of the same name. Hague also played a small role in the movie Space Jam (1996), as the psychiatrist that the Professional Basketball players go to when they lose their "skill".

Fame (2009 film)

Fame is a 2009 American musical drama film and a loose remake of the 1980 film of the same title. It was directed by Kevin Tancharoen and written by Allison Burnett. It was released on September 25, 2009 in the US, Canada, Ireland, and the UK. The film follows NYC talents attending the New York City High School of Performing Arts (known today as Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School), where students get specialized training that often leads to success as actors, singers, etc.

Debbie Allen who played the school principal Angela Simms, is the only person to also appear in both the original movie and the subsequent television show (in the 1980 movie and the series she played role of dance teacher Lydia Grant).

Plot

Auditions

During the opening scenes in auditions and orientation, it is told that in 1936, New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia founded the High School of Music & Art in order to provide a facility where the most gifted and talented public school students of New York City could pursue their talents in art or music, while also completing a full academic program of instruction. In 1948, the School of Performing Arts (P.A.) was created to provide training in performance skills to students who wished to prepare for professional careers in dance, music or drama.

    Fame

    Yeah, yeah
    Turn us up
    Yeah, uh-uh, yeah
    Bring that beat
    Yeah, that's it, c'mon
    Y'all ready?
    Let's go
    [Chorus]
    Fame, what does it mean?
    I don't know
    Why do people wanna be famous?
    Well, some for the music and the fun
    Others just for the money and the girls
    Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
    Well, I still don't know….
    [Verse 1]
    Fame, what the fuck does it mean
    Nobody knows, nobody cares
    As long you can
    Make some mean cash
    It's kinda hard being Stif-l-e-r
    But I can make it through
    Ad if our album flops
    We don't stop
    'till we get to the top
    'Cause the Starlight Dragons
    keep it real to the end
    We're a band
    With style and class
    And if ya don't like us
    You can kiss our ass
    This group is like family
    L double E, Stifler
    Sonny B and Nelly G
    Ya don't want trouble
    With tha Starlight couple
    We pound ya to tha ground
    With our beat and sound
    Even when we die
    Fame's all over the place
    So don't waste our time
    And let's get high
    Well, fuck it we're goin' for the top 10
    Maybe ya think we suck
    But really we
    Don't give a fuck
    One day we're al gon' die
    But when I die I'll be so high
    And when we die
    We're rappin' like a mummy
    Yeah, yeah Uh-uh, yeah
    [Chorus 2x]
    Fame, what does it mean?
    I don't know
    Why do people wanna be famous?
    Well, some for the music and the fun
    Others just for the money and the girls
    Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
    Well, I still don't know….
    [Verse 2]
    Hey, yo I'm tired of people
    judging black people
    We're all the same
    You and Me
    That's how it should be
    No more racism and other shit
    Just a little bit
    Of this will be enough
    I'm from the westcoast and I'm proud
    Then we all shout:
    What the fuck is going on
    With this word today
    With these rappers today
    Slate and hate's the way
    So many rappers
    Rappin' over cars and money
    Well ain't that funny?
    The Dragons only rap about life
    Ya better watch yo back
    Before somebody stabs ya back
    Watcha gonna do
    When in comes to you?
    There's no way to escape
    The demons you're force to gain
    So watch ya back, kid
    There's one rule in fame:
    Fuck the game
    Before the game fucks you
    And that's the shit
    We've been talking about
    This whole rhyme
    But there's more
    So keep listening
    Uh-uh Yeah, Yeah
    [Chorus 2x]
    Fame, what does it mean?
    I don't know
    Why do people wanna be famous?
    Well, some for the music and the fun
    Others just for the money and the girls
    Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
    Well, I still don't know….
    [Verse 3]
    If ya hate us
    We gon' hate ya too
    Wanna know what we gon' do?
    We don't care bout fame
    As long we win this came
    We ain't gon' stop
    'till we rock this place
    Fame's just a race
    Rappers want to go to the top
    And they don't care bout pop
    Dr. Dre and Snoop Do double G
    That's how we wanna be
    They're the best
    They don't rest
    Till they're the best
    That's how the Dragons wanna be
    Can't ya see?
    We're not that big yet
    But when we're set
    Y'all wanna be us
    Can ya see us?
    Look good now
    'Cause the next time you'll bow
    Y'all laugh now
    But when I made it
    Y'all gon' say
    I know that kid
    Ya don't know me now
    And ya ain't gon' now me then
    That's just the deal, man
    What do ya think of this rhyme?
    Tell me in time
    [Chorus 2x]
    Fame, what does it mean?
    I don't know
    Why do people wanna be famous?
    Well, some for the music and the fun
    Others just for the money and the girls
    Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
    Well, I still don't know….
    Starlight
    Dragons
    Yeah, c'mon 1 more time
    [Chorus]
    Fame, what does it mean?
    I don't know
    Why do people wanna be famous?
    Well, some for the music and the fun
    Others just for the money and the girls
    Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
    Well, I still don't know….
    Well, I still don't know….
    Well, I still don't know….
