Jessica Raine
Written by B Van Heusen
The season finale of Call the Midwife began with the eccentric Sister Monica wandering the streets of London seemingly suffering from dementia. Having found her way back to the convent she regained her senses to an extent and if nothing else she proved herself to be a Penicillin skeptic. Her condition didn’t keep her bed bound for long though and within days she was back on the streets shoplifting from local vendors. Did she know what she was doing? The police believed she did but the nuns (well most of them) thought otherwise. The court case was the main focus of this episode and in the end guilty or not she was acquitted. Well season two of Call the Midwife wouldn’t be the same without her would it?
While Sister Monica was in court, Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) was making a mess of her lovelife.

Call the Midwife Episode 5

Episode five of Call the Midwife was an action packed affair featuring the show’s usual mix of births, deaths, comedy and romance. The ill-fated duo who bit the bullet this week were a nice middle aged couple who couldn’t be separated either in life or death. Jenny Lee (as usual) was the unfortunate midwife who found herself having to play the role of social worker/bereavement counselor. It wasn’t all doom and gloom for her though as she got a little frisky with her male friend at a rather wild pool party. However, Jenny wouldn’t be Jenny if she let a man’s attentions turn her head that easily and the frolicking fun quickly...

The first three episodes of the BBC One drama Call the Midwife featured an interesting mix of frivolity and drama. Episode four was much darker. Granted, we did have a few minutes of silliness with the nuns and nurses teasing Chummy and Jenny Lee about dating but within a few minutes we had moved onto much more harrowing storylines involving the death of a pregnant woman and the kidnapping of a new born baby. Vanessa Redgrave’s narration has seemed unnecessary thus far but tonight her voice added a kind of depth to the story that it wouldn’t have had if it had been told through the eyes of the young Jenny Lee.

In Call the Midwife episode three Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) found herself in the uncomfortable position of having to hide a male friend in the convent. The nuns, the other nurses and even one of her patients assumed that Lee had found love but she was more concerned with another man: an elderly Boer war veteran named Joe. Comedian Roy Hudd took on the role of Joe and he brought an innocent charm to the character. Lee managed to get past her phobia of the insects that infested his home and formed quite a close bond with the old man although his story was to reach a sad and somewhat predictable conclusion.
While Joe’s tale was the focal point of episode three,...

Episode two of Call the Midwife saw the introduction of a new character: Chummy (Miranda Hart). She is an accident prone, jolly hockey sticks, Hooray Henry goofball who quickly got on the wrong side of Sister Evangelina (Pam Ferris). Crashing your bike into a policeman is not a good way to announce your arrival in the neighborhood but Chummy redeemed herself later in the episode by successfully delivering a breach baby.
Meanwhile, Anna Hathaway lookalike Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) found it hard to separate her personal life from her professional life as she struck up a friendship with an Irish runaway who was trying to escape a life in prostitution. Lee helped the pregnant girl find refuge in...

Title: Project Nim Directed By: James Marsh Starring: Herbert Terrace, Stephanie Lafarge, Jenny Lee, Laura-Ann Petitto, Joyce Butler, Bill Tynan, Renee Falitz, Bob Ingersoll, James Mahoney Documentaries and narrative films are wildly different mediums, but they both require many of the same assets, specifically proper pacing and engaging storytelling methods. As many of you have come to learn, I’m not a documentary fan. Many drown in talking heads, lack the necessary non-interview elements to really bring the story to life and are set to somber tones that ultimately become monotonous. Okay, that sounds like a terrible generalization, but how many documentaries have you seen that really have the power to...

Legendary TV cowboy James Arness has died, aged 88.
The actor played Marshall Matt Dillon in beloved TV western series Gunsmoke.
The Minnesota-born World War Two hero was the older brother of actor Peter Graves, who encouraged Arness to seek out a career in showbusiness after he was discharged from the army with leg and foot injuries sustained in battle.
He became an announcer at a Minneapolis radio station and later found fame in Hollywood after following a friend out to Los Angeles to find work in the movies.
He was studying theatre when he was cast as Loretta Young's brother in 1947 film The Farmer's Daughter.
His first wife, actress Virginia Chapman, encouraged him to take his acting more seriously after he received glowing reviews for his performance in his debut and he became a staple villain in films like The Thing from Another World (1951).
Arness' career really took off when he was discovered by John Wayne's agent Charles K. Feldman, and the two TV and movie cowboys became firm friends. Arness starred alongside Wayne, his mentor, in a series of 1950s films and it was the acting legend who recommended his pal for the role of Dillon in Gunsmoke, which became America's longest-running dramatic series.
When the show was cancelled in 1975, Arness joined the cast of TV miniseries How The West Was Won and then turned leading man again in cop drama McClain's Law in the early 1980s.
He retired from showbusiness in the mid-1990s, after appearing in the final Gunsmoke TV movie.
He and his first wife had three kids together - one daughter, Jenny Lee, committed suicide in 1975. Arness divorced Chapman in 1960. He wed Janet Surtrees in 1978.
Among his many accolades, Arness was appointed an honorary United States Marshall in recognition of his unique contribution to "the image and traditions of the U.S. Marshall's Service". He was also inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1981.
He also received the Bronze Star; the Purple Heart, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge for his army service during World War Two.
Flowers will be placed on the actor's Hollywood Walk of Fame star on Friday afternoon.

Shannyn Sossamon is one of the more quirkier people in Hollywood. She's great in offbeat movies like Wristcutters: A Love Story and she's able to cross the line into indie rock quite seemlessly. Sossamon and her sister, Jenny Lee Lindberg, started the band Warpaint back in 2004 performing mostly in Los Angeles. The line-up has changed but start with their first Ep, Exquisite Corpse, and work your way up to their new stuff.
In the following video watch Sossamon sing and play the drums on "I Wish That."

Warpaint have admitted to being directly influenced by Nirvana on their current single 'Undertow'. Bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg told BBC 6 Music that the track contained an "homage" to Nirvana's Nevermind track 'Polly'. Lindberg said: "[Bandmate] Theresa [Wayman] and I were just working and I had a bassline. She just started singing the lyrics to 'Polly' over that song. "So instead of making that a cover - even though it sounded really cool - we said, 'Well, write your own words to the song'. "There's definitely an homage to it in the chorus, the first line - [but] you listen (more)...
