Below is a list of broadcasts scheduled to air in the next 60 days on any of our three channels.
Mae West ... and The Men Who Knew Her
As the first "blonde bombshell," Mae West reigned supreme and changed the nation's view of women, sex and race - on stage, in films, on radio and television. Her bawdy humor challenged taboos of the day and she braved jail for her so-called "pornographic" plays. When censorship issues drove her from films, she toured in stage shows that became classic. Dom DeLouise narrates the program; clips are from Night After Night, She Done Him Wrong, I'm No Angel, Belle of the Nineties, Klondike Annie, Go West Young Man, Every Day's a Holiday and My Little Chickadee. In addition to rare home movies and archival footage, Anthony Quinn, Rex Reed and Robert Wise provide interviews.

Gary Cooper: The Face of a Hero
Known for his personification of the Western Hero, it was Montana-born Gary Cooper's horse-riding skills that first brought him bit parts in movies - and he never lost his love of the great American outdoors. Though he rarely played a villain and was an adept comedian, Cooper is best remembered for his strong, silent heroes. With his lanky countryboy looks and shy hesitancy, he created a unique screen presence, though his real life was one of sophisticated elegance. He received three Academy Award nominations and two Academy Awards for his more than 100 movies. Cooper's most memorable films include A Farewell to Arms, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, Meet John Doe, The Pride of the Yankees and High Noon. Daughter Maria Cooper Janis and actors George C. Scott, Charlton Heston, Patricia Neal and Joan Leslie are among those appearing in this profile of one of Hollywood's greatest stars.
