SUMMARY:Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Visit the UCLA Film & Television Archive website to learn more 
 about upcoming screenings and events.\n\nFree admission. No advance 
 reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your 
 ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come\, first served 
 basis. The box office opens one hour before the event.\n\nIn person: 
 director Karen Arthur\; editor Carol Littleton\; Paula Chambers\, daughter 
 of screenwriter and actor Joan Hotchkis\; Eric Morris\, acting teacher and 
 director of the theatrical production of Legacy.\n\nLegacy is the story of 
 Bissie Hapgood\, a woman unraveling under the pressures of a vapid and 
 materialistic society consumed with dinner-plate settings\, soap operas and 
 sexual frustration. The material originated as a one-woman show in 1973\, 
 written and performed by Joan Hotchkis\, a versatile talent celebrated for 
 her roles on television series including The Odd Couple and The Life and 
 Times of Eddie Roberts. Karen Arthur\, a first-time filmmaker\, saw 
 Hotchkis on stage and convinced the actor to adapt the screenplay and star 
 in the film. Independently produced and financed\, Legacy\, like its peers 
 Wanda (1970) and A Woman Under the Influence (1974)\, confounds 1970s 
 Hollywood’s expectations with the introduction of a new kind of cinematic 
 woman. Bissie stuns audiences with her honesty that is confrontational\, 
 yet heartfelt and a vulnerability that is never sentimental and always 
 surprising.\n\nLegacy features an exceptional crew at the start of what 
 would become a set of accomplished careers. Arthur\, who would go on to 
 direct The Mafu Cage (1978) and become a prolific television director\, 
 winning an Emmy Award for Cagney & Lacey\, collaborated with 
 cinematographer John Bailey (Ordinary People\, 1980\, In the Line of Fire\, 
 1993) and editor Carol Littleton (E.T.\, 1982\, The Manchurian Candidate\, 
 2004).\n\nNote written by Archive Research and Study Center Officer Maya
