When Olivia de Havilland was nineyears old, she wrote a will leaving all herbeauty to her younger sister JoanFontaine, since “she doesn’t have any.”Their relationship went downhill fromthere. Although both Olivia and Joanenjoyed long, Oscar-winning careers,their successes only served to fuel theirjealousy and hatred.The battlingactresses, now in their 90s, haven’tspoken to each other in more than 50years.
Let’s hope that things work out betterfor the Fanning sisters, who are well ontheir way to Oscars of their own.Sixteen-year-old Dakota is already a star,with remarkably mature performances inmore than a dozen movies, and now itappears that little sister, Elle, is right onher heels with her amazing portrayal of atroubled young girl in 2008’s “Phoebe inWonderland.”
Nine-year-old Phoebe Lichten (Elle)doesn’t fit in — anywhere. Her free-thinking parents, Hillary and Peter, havetried their best to be understanding andnot squash her creativity, but they areready to admit that something is wrongwith their beautiful daughter.
Phoebe can’t control herself. Sheblurts out whatever she’s thinking, no
matter how inappropriate or cruel itmight be. She spits on classmates whotease and torment her. She washes herhands so much they’re raw and bloodyand refuses to come inside at night untilshe’s performed a ritual on the sidewalkinvolving lots of clapping, twirling andcounting.
Hillary thinks it’s just a phasePhoebe’s going through. She spends agreat deal of time with Phoebe, givingher lots of attention and praise, but itdoesn’t seem to be doing any good —and it’s making her younger daughter,the precocious Olivia, very jealous.
Peter thinks Phoebe’s problems aremore than just a ploy to gain Hillary’sattention, but Peter’s fathering skills areso weak, he prefers to let his wife dealwith Phoebe.
Oddly enough, a solution comes inthe form of the new drama teacher atschool, Miss Dodger, a mysteriouswoman of few words. Miss Dodger isthe complete opposite of the rest ofPhoebe’s teachers, who follow a strict setof rules. Miss Dodger believes in lettingchildren think for themselves. When sheannounces an upcoming production of
“Alice in Wonderland,” Phoebe isdetermined to win the lead role.
And she does. At first, things go sowell that Hillary and Peter start thinkingthat perhaps whatever was ailing theirlittle girl has gone away. But it isn’t longbefore Phoebe’s troublesome behaviorreturns.
Although Phoebe would never tellanyone, she’s now starting to see visionsof the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen,Humpty Dumpty, the Cheshire Cat andAlice. Is Phoebe on her way to beingtrapped down the rabbit hole forever?
Elle, who was only 10 when shemade “Phoebe in Wonderland,” issimply superb. She’s just not a little kidacting; she’s a little girl going through atraumatic experience neither she nor herparents understand (until the end).While the solution to Phoebe’s problemsseems a little tacked on, it’s still quitebelievable and well-played by both childand parents.
I loved Elle’s buddy Jamie, whodoesn’t care that kids make fun of himfor playing with American Girls dollsand earning the part of the RedQueen. Felicity Huffman and PatriciaClarkson are wonderful, and CampbellScott is a hoot as the flustered PrincipalDavis.You can find “Phoebe inWonderland” (rated PG-13) online atNetflix. Check it out!

“Oh Heavens, yes,”Dorothy “Miss Blues” Ellisreplied emphatically whenasked if she still was havingfun singing the blues. “Youknow I’m going to play as‘special guest’ with BBKing next weekend at theBlack Oak Amphitheaterin Missouri.”
Performing on the samebill as blues music’s biggeststar is just one more featherin the cap of OklahomaCity’s beloved juke jointchanteuse.
In a telephone interviewAug. 25, Miss Blues spokeof her life and a career thatbegan before she was even10 years old.
Ellis got her nicknamesinging for the otherworkers as they pickedcotton in the fields nearDirect, Texas.
“It was called Directbecause a preacher camethrough there once anddidn’t get much moneyafter passing the collectionplate,” she said. “He toldthem they’d be going directto Hell.”
Miss Blues learned tosing by listening to hermother.
“I didn’t go to churchand learn notes there,” shesaid. “I took the blues tothe church house. I am oneof your few blues singerswho did not start out inchurch.”
Her first paying gig wasat a juke joint at theGossfarn plantation onEaster Sunday in 1943.
“Earl Shamblee said‘Come on little MissBlues,’ and the black peopleput their pennies andnickels together. It rang upto be $2.50, which is whatI got paid,” she said.
“Thousands lived in
those little shanties on theplantation, and they hadthe juke joint for Friday,Saturday and Sundaynights,” she said. A fiddlerand guitarist backed herup. Miss Blues neverlooked back from there.
She went on to a careerthat’s included sharing thestage with Buddy Guy, BoDiddley, Taj Mahal andRichard “Groove” Holmes.Regardless of her moniker,Ellis also sings jazz and hasbeen known to take on
country music, as well.“I can sing anything,”
she said.Ellis broke into an a
capella rendering of ErnestTubbs’ “Walking the Floorover You,” serenading meover the phone.
“I played with HankCrawford (jazz saxophon-ist) in a club at 23rd andLottie,” Ellis said. “I can’tremember the club’s name,they tore my buildingdown.”
She performed in OKC’s
jumping joints, such as theSunset Club, Blue Noteand the Hi Lo. Along theway, she also managed toearn a graduate degree incounseling psychologyfrom the University ofCentral Oklahoma.
Ellis authored a booktitled “Hoecakes andCollard Greens,” a collec-tion of folklore, recipes andwisdom. She was marriedfor more than 50 years andher deceased husband wasthe subject for many of thesongs she’s composed.
“I’ve kind of lost myinspiration for writing theblues because I ain’t gotnobody doing nothing tome to write about,” shesaid. “But, at 75, I don’tneed no 80-year-oldboyfriend.”
Miss Blues has observedover the years that hergenre speaks to peoplearound the globe.
“The blues really givesyou hope that there’s a
better tomorrow,” she said.“You find in there a line tohook to and realization thatyou are not alone in yourproblems. Somebody elsehas gone through the samething.”
She described it as ananchor in a troubled world.
“Blues has stayed withme at the times when I wasall alone,” said Ellis, whowas orphaned at an earlyage. “Soon as my mamadied, I became a productthat nobody wanted. I hadto root-hog or die and, as aconsequence, the blues wasin my heart, and that’s whyI have a passion for it.”
Ellis survived thosetimes and didn’t forget the
songs her mama sang toher. They were a comfort toher as a little girl and stillare today.
“I think I developed mylove for the blues in thewomb,” she said. “Soon as Ipopped out, I was singing‘Good Morning Blues/How Do You Do.’”
Hear Miss Blues’ passionSaturday night at theHidden Castle, backed byRon Harmon (keys), RobHibbert (guitar), DarrylRoss (bass) and Mike Bell(drums). Also on the billare the entertaining BlueChunks with fiery front-man Eric McDaniel.Sunshine and the Blues-men will open the show.

The one band perform-ing at the Cleveland CountyFree Fair this year that isstaying true to the roots ofcountry music is the Noble-based Justin Fox Band.
Pop recently spoke toFox, the lead singer andrhythm guitar player for thequartet.
“I’ve been playing since Iwas about 15,” Fox said.
And for the past six years,Fox has had a fairly steadyline-up of musiciansbacking him up, whichcurrently include leadguitarist Rich Wells, bassistDean Dull and his brotherSean Fox on drums.
Inspired by well-knowncountry legends rangingfrom George Strait toWaylon Jennings to MerleHaggard, Justin Fox , 31,said he likes to mix up atypical set with cover songsand originals, which include“Gravel Road,” “Livin’” and“Common Girl.”
Fox said the JFB hasopened up for well-knownartists like the RandyRogers Band, Earl ThomasConley, Wade Bowen andthe Red Dirt Rangers.
Fox, who works for theCity of Norman, is also a
“third generation auctioneerand team roper.” He said hehas worked hard at creatinga following.
“We play a little bit ofeverywhere … Texas, butmostly we try to stay inOklahoma. We play allkinds of events,” he said,noting that they have evenplayed at Oklahoma City’spopular Wormy DogSaloon.
One event he has playeda couple of years in a row isthe “Boots and Bandanas”country-themed event atthe Oklahoma Governor’sMansion. Fox said he metGov. Brad Henry and that
the event is “cool.”“Everybody enjoyed it,”
Fox said.Being that he sticks to
the classic country sound,rather than the moremodern, pop-country style,Fox said they have a pedalsteel or fiddle player withthem from time-to-time,
but “they couldn’t make it”to the gig at the ClevelandCounty Free Fair.
“If anything, I telleverybody that we’re one ofthe few bands left aroundhere that plays the old-style,classic country music thesedays,” Fox said. “We’ve beendoing this for quite a whilenow.”
Fox said an album oforiginal material is in theworks and that folks canexpect to enjoy live showswhere the music takes centerstage.
“I just play because I lovemusic. I take it seriously,though,” he said.

“Facing Ali” is a documen-tary about the legendaryboxing champion Muham-mad Ali, as told from theperspective of 10 boxers whofought him and with theassistance of a great deal ofarchival footage.
The film is so much morethan a sports documentary.What really drives it are thestories the boxers relay aboutthemselves and theiropponents over the years. Assuch, you don’t really need anyunderstanding of the sportitself or even have to enjoy thesport as a whole to gainsomething from this veryinteresting and touching film.
As Ali’s health is such thathe was unable to give aninterview for this film, hisonly voice is presentedthrough the archival footageof his boxing days.While Ihad seen some of the clipsbefore, I was still blown awayby his commanding presence
at such a young age, as well ashow bold he was in talkingabout his boxing talents.
The current-day interviewsfeature such notable boxers asGeorge Foreman and JoeFrazier, which were the onlytwo boxers I knew of beforethe film. Perhaps my favoriteinterviews were given byCanadian champion GeorgeChuvalo and Britishchampion Sir Henry Cooper.Other boxers interviewedwere Larry Holmes, RonLyle, Ken Norton, ErnieShavers, Leon Spinks andErnie Terrell.
On top of the boxinghistory that the film tells, italso tells the story of Ali’s rolein the Civil Rights movementand his importance to the
African Americans from the1960s through today.Thefilm demonstrated how whiteAmerica turned against Aliwhen he converted to Islamand changed his name.Thefilmmakers also includedfootage of Ali voicing hisopinions about the war inVietnam, denouncing theviolence and refusing to bedrafted, resulting in a three-year absence he was forced totake from competition.
What is clear from thepresent-day interviews is thatthey all have a deep respectand, in some cases, love forAli. What is most surprisingto me is that their feelingshave nothing to do with whowas declared the winner oftheir fight together.
There are four features onthe DVD for this film.“Animated Trivia Cards” givesa list of boxing stats andpersonal factoids about eachof the 10 boxers interviewed
in the film.“Bringing the Fights to
Life” is a compilation ofproduction crew interviews,where they talk about thetechnical details of filmingusing a new camera tech-nique, as well as the process ofcleaning archival footage.
“Facing Ali: From Book toScreen” relays the importancethe filmmakers placed onletting the boxers tell the storyto create a unique perspective,as well as the selection of thetitles and music used for thefilm.
“After the Bell” provides abehind-the-scenes look at theboxers in the film, as told bythe filmmakers, as they relatethe stories of shooting theinterviews and giving updateson the boxers’ lives.
This film was the recipientof two awards, one for MostPopular Film at the Vancou-ver Film Festival and theother for Best Film at the
Vancouver Film CriticsCircle. For a captivatingdocumentary that happens tobe set in the history of boxing,check out “Facing Ali.”Youcan find it in your local storein new releases or specialinterest.Please send your comments, questions andDVD recommendations toKelsey at [email protected].
