Famous quotes containing the words portrayals, movies and/or television:

    We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    The movies today are too rich to have any room for genuine artists. They produce a few passable craftsmen, but no artists. Can you imagine a Beethoven making $100,000 a year?
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
