Do you know who this handsome dude is? It is Kim Fowley living legend, founder,manager and producer of The Runaways. Buzz Foto’s Brad Elterman took this lovely photograph of Kim back in 1976 when The Runaways opened for Cheap Trick at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Looks like Kim was in fine form backstage, as always.

Just wait until you see Michael Shannon play Kim in new The Runaways film. Brad had the pleasure to meet Michael over the weekend at the post film Sundance party and shared with him his passion for photographing Kim over the years. He was and still is one of Brad’s favorite subjects to photograph.

Good Guy Makes Good

There’s nothing we love more than when a ham and egger actor starts taking off, for whatever reason. And Michael Shannon has definitely done his time on the stage and in bit parts, so for that we congratulate him. We saw him yesterday walking out of the Port Gourmet Deli on 8th Avenue and 43rd Street while filming a scene for his latest movie, 13, which co-stars Mickey Rourke and 50 Cent in New York City, New York. The film is directed by Gela Babluani, and Michael previously starred in Revolutionary Road, for which he was JUST nominated for an Oscar as supporting actor. Michael was unimpressed yesterday though, as he stifled a bit of a yawn and picked up a few things at the deli.

Michael Shannon On Break

Posted on March 31, 2008 by admin

Screen actors are steady finding that the lure of the stage is too strong to ignore. Actor Michael Shannon is another film actor to be casted in the Phillip Seymour Hoffman-directed play The Little Flower of East Orange which is debuting at Public Theater in New York City. We caught the actor as he took a cigarette break after the matinee performance yesterday. Michael’s role must be particularly taxing – he looks like he really wants that cigarette.
