A 62-year-old stage, screen and television veteran in the golden age of her career: Laurie Metcalf photographed by Collier Schorr for the New York Times. Check out the great profile and interview below: 

“Despite 40 years of theater roles, she’s best known for having played the lovably blundering Aunt Jackie in the blue-collar ’90s sitcom Roseanne, a part that made her famous and, in the fashion of hit TV, familiar. But it is Metcalf’s role in Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, her first film in nearly a decade, that has lately encouraged us to see her anew. In her Oscar-nominated performance as Marion McPherson, mother of the teenage Lady Bird, she gives a performance so layered, vital and precise that it retroactively casts a spotlight on the meticulous but accessible, methodical but electric work she has been doing for decades. At 62, Metcalf is now being widely recognized for what she has always been, an actress of remarkable power, range and skill, a pre-eminent chronicler of the American working woman. Metcalf would be the first to say that her current tear — which includes three Emmy nominations in 2016 for Getting On, Horace & Pete and The Big Bang Theory; that Tony Award (for A Doll’s House, Part 2) in 2017; the current Oscar nomination; Three Tall Women; and a new season of Roseanne, the first in two decades, arriving in March — all goes back to being given such meaty parts at an age when most actresses are being forced into retirement. But she knew exactly what to do with these parts when she got them.” — “Laurie Metcalf Was Hiding in Plain Sight”, Willa Paskin, New York Times (February 2018)

Real estate agent donates $100 from each sale to help animals find ‘fur-ever’ homes

http://ift.tt/2BXWbDn

Calvin Acuff, a real estate agent based in Morganton, N.C., is a self-professed animal lover who currently takes care of six pets — dogs Charlie, Molly, Willa, and cats Bow Tie, Orville and Leo — all of which he rescued while out and about hiking and walking in gorgeous mountain scenery that surrounds his town.

Acuff, who only began his real estate career in 2016, infuses his love for rescue pets in his everyday business by giving buyers advice on how to care for furry friends they’d like to bring into their new home. But, Acuff wanted to do something more to help the community he’s loved since his childhood in the country.

“I’ve never had the traditional experience of going out and buying a puppy,” said Acuff. “I’ve always just loved rescue animals. They make excellent pets and the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve rescued.”

“When the new year came, I began thinking of a way to give back to my community and that just kind of fit with what I enjoy and what is close to my heart,” he added.

Acuff and his six, furry family members.

On Jan. 2, Acuff posted a photo of him and his six pets along with a caption announcing that he’d donate $100 of each home sale to local shelters in his area.

“There are too many innocent animals looking for a loving home for me to adopt them all,” he wrote. “However for this new year, I am going to dedicate myself to helping as many as I can!”

On Dec. 27, Acuff was able to achieve his goal by donating $2,200 split amongst the Burke County Friends for Animals, Cat’s Cradle, and Brother Wolf, no-kill shelters that regularly partner with Petsmart for adoption days (each shelter received about $733).

Calvin Acuff giving Toni Davis, director of Burke County Friends for Animals, one of the shelters he donated to.

He says the shelters will use the money to buy food and cover medical care for sickly pets, costs that he says quickly mount in no-kill shelters.

Acuff says he wants to more than double his efforts in 2018, aiming to donate at least $5,000 — meaning that he’ll have to sell at least 50 homes. Acuff says he hopes more agents think of ways to give back in the coming year, and that it’s as simple as thinking about what you’re already passionate about.

“There are agents that I know that just choose a different charity each year, which is fine, but I think if you’re passionate about something, it makes a big difference,” he said.  “When people ask me why I do something, I can give them valid, genuine reasons as to why I donate.”

“It’s not a business decision,” he finished. “I wish I could adopt all the animals, but I don’t have the resources to do that so this is the next best thing I can do — help them be rescued and find a forever home.”
