1
We are back now with two acting greats.
2
Molly Ringwald and Bob Odenkirk have starred for years on the screen and now they are teaming up on the stage.
3
They are starring in the off -Broadway show Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?
4
So the play follows the work of the infamous 1940s House Un -American Activities Committee which investigated
5
anyone suspected of having communist ties including some powerful members of
6
hollywood as well molly bob good morning to both of you
7
love the concept for folks who may not be familiar with
8
this particular part of american history the play we should point out based on actual transcripts from those committee meetings.
9
Yeah.
10
How do your characters fit into the story?
11
YOU WANT TO GO?
12
Well, I play Lillian Hellman,
13
who was blacklisted, and MY PART IS A LETTER THAT SHE WROTE.
14
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY, BUT SHE'S A PRETTY FORMIDABLE PRESENCE.
15
I PLAY LIONEL STANDER, WHO PEOPLE MIGHT REMEMBER FROM HEART TO HEART.
16
Uh, THAT'S THE BEST.
17
YOU KNOW, THE BEST.
18
THE TV SHOW?
19

20
HE WAS THE BUTLER, MAX.
21

23
BUT HE WAS AN ACTOR HIS WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE.
24
AND HE APPEARED BEFORE THE HOUSE THE FAMILY IS NOT A LITTLE WHOLE THING MEANT HE WAS BLACKLISTED.
25
HE ENDED UP NOT, YOU KNOW, STRUGGLING FOR WORK, DOING NIGHT CLUBS, GOING TO EUROPE FOR A COUPLE YEARS.
26
IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS HE'S IN ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.
27
HE'S IN THAT MOVIE BECAUSE THAT WAS SHOT IN ITALY.
28
BUT HE STRUGGLED FOR WORK FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AND THEN WAS SLOWLY FOUND HIS WAY BACK TO ANOTHER CAREER IN SHOWBIZ.
29
and certainly for people in the arts, because for some reason, everybody got very scared
30
and excited about who might have been a communist or even just attended a meeting or been friends with somebody who was.
31
And it became...
32
YOU KNOW, THIS BLACKLIST AND PEOPLE DIDN'T WORK AND WERE FORCED TO TESTIFY.
33
AND SO THE PLAY IS, AS YOU POINT OUT, TRANSCRIPTS FROM THE ACTUAL HEARINGS THAT A GREAT PLAYWRIGHT, ERIC BENTLEY, CUT TOGETHER.
34
AND YOU SEE EVERY SIDE OF IT.
35

36
YOU SEE PEOPLE WHO FIGHT AND PUSH BACK.
37
YOU SEE EVERY SIDE OF IT.
38
Gave him the finger.
39
Sorry, can I say that?
40
You can leave it at that.
41
And Molly, this really does sort of have a revolving door of talent, if you will.
42
And you two are now stepping in for the next few weeks.
43
How do you find your groove so quickly?
44
How do you get your tempo going?
45
Well, it's a story that's always really been interesting to me from the time I started in Hollywood.
46
I DIDN'T LEARN ABOUT THE McCARTHY ERA IN SCHOOL.
47
I ACTUALLY LEARNED ABOUT IT ON SET BECAUSE SOMEBODY THAT I WORKED WITH
48
was friends with Kazan and I really wanted to work with Kazan
49
and I went out to a dinner meeting with someone a director
50
and she said oh who do you want to work with
51
and I said I really love to work with Ilya Kazan
52
and she said oh what would you call it naming names I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO.
53
I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO.
54
I WAS GOING TO DO.
55
I WENT BACK TO WORK THE NEXT But they already had every name.
56
They already have it, you know, and you know, and so and I thought, oh, this is interesting.
57
So I started to do a lot of research about it, and it really was.
58
THIS TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY THEIR OWNERS, THEIR OWNERS, THE in that sort of environment now.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
