Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Emmy Award-winning and Tony Award-nominated actress PENNY FULLER (The Elephant Man, Anastasia) on being “in the moment” as an actress; co-starring with both Lauren Bacall and Anne Baxter on Broadway in Applause; and the joy of working on an independent film. Penny Fuller stars in STRAWBERRY MANSION, a charming, surrealistic fantasy with Alice in Wonderland-like elements about an eccentric woman who quietly rebels against a world that records our dreams, taxes our dreams, and infuses them with nonstop advertising. STRAWBERRY MANSION opens today in select theaters throughout the U.S. The movie will then become available for streaming on demand on Friday 2/25

Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Actress and singer Constance Towers on working with the innovative and uninhibited Samuel Fuller on both Shock Corridor and The Naked Kiss; the joyful experience of playing villainous Helena Carradine on General Hospital; the “musical episode” of Perry Mason that she did along with Bobby Troup and Barney Kessel; and the differences between singing on camera and singing live on stage. Constance Towers will discuss The Naked Kiss following a special screening of the film at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, Jan. 27. She will also appear at the annual Beverly Hills Theatre Guild luncheon on Sunday, Mar. 17 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Honorees at this year’s luncheon include Oscar winner Eva Marie Saint and her late husband, television director Jeffrey Hayden; longtime television writer/director Howard Storm; and legendary Hollywood agent Budd Burton Moss. The program will also include a tribute to the films and television series of Garry Marshall
