Adrianne Palicki : A New Wonder Woman

Biography :

Adrianne Palicki was born May 6, 1983 in Toledo, Ohio, to Nancy and Jeff Palicki, they are a Polish descent. She has an older brother, Eric, who is a comic book writer who influenced Adrianne's own interest in comics. She graduated from Whitmer High School in Toledo in 2001. She played basketball and ran track in high school and was named runner-up for homecoming queen.

After graduating from high school, Palicki packed up and moved to New York City to participate in a modeling and talent competition. Three months later, she decided to devote herself 100% to her dream of making it as an actress, and she subsequently moved to Los Angeles. She worked at Togo’s as a sandwich maker when she first got to Los Angeles. She quickly landed roles in a pair of 2003 indies, with her big break coming the very next year after she successfully auditioned for a starring role in a Lost in Space pilot directed by John Woo. Though the show wasn’t picked up, Palicki had managed to get her foot in the door and subsequently spent the next few months popping up in a variety of popular shows (including Smallville, Quintuplets and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation).

Palicki’s willingness to pose for a risqué photo shoot has only increased our esteem for her, and it’s certainly not surprising to note that she was ranked No. 79 on Maxim’s 2007 Hot 100 list (ahead of such natural beauties as Abbie Cornish, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Isla Fisher). She has a tattoo of her parents’ names – Jeff & Nancy on her arm.

She appeared in the Aquaman-based WB pilot Aquaman as the evil Siren, but the pilot was not picked up for series by the CW network, a result of The WB and UPN network merger, which occurred while the pilot was being filmed.

Other television credits include Smallville as Kara in the season 3 finale (“Covenant”). Palicki also starred in Supernatural as Jessica Moore, Sam Winchester’s doomed girlfriend, killed by the demon, in its pilot episode. The character reappears in the Supernatural season 2 episode, “What is and What Should Never Be”. Palicki also appeared as Judy Robinson in John Woo’s unsold pilot, The Robinsons: Lost in Space. Palicki will be starring in Legion opposite Dennis Quaid in 2010. Palicki made an appearance in the music video by Will.i.am called “We Are The Ones” in support of 2008 presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Most people credit her breakthrough performance as the ill fated girlfriend of Sam Winchester in the hit CW show “Supernatural”, however most remember her very small role in the Smallville finale, “The Covenant”.

In February 2011, Adrianne Palicki landed the role of Wonder Woman -- and her true identity, corporate powerhouse Diana Prince -- in a Wonder Woman pilot for NBC.

Given that the Wonder Woman pilot (directed by Jeffrey Reiner, who also directed Friday Night Lights) revolves mostly around the superhero aspect of the character’s life, it’s a good thing Palicki recently had some practice with the action-packed Legion in 2010. She will also star in the upcoming action film remake Red Dawn before taking on her role as Wonder Woman.

Palicki will have also a heavy job in her arms as she will be playing not only wonder Woman but also the alter ego billionaire CEO Diana Themyscira AND Diana’s mousy assistant Diana Prince. That’s right three roles in one show!

It seems Kelly had her in mind for some time, as Palicki was the only one who screen tested for the super heroine role. According to Deadline.com:

“Palicki won the role of Wonder Woman, closely associated with Lynda Carter, who played Diana Prince in the 1970s series, in a decisive manner – she was the only actress invited to test for it.”

Upon hearing the news, classic Wonder Woman Lynda Carter congratulated her for getting the job. “Congratulations Adrianne!” tweeted Carter yesterday.

What do you think of this casting choice?

Abdias do Nascimento RIP

Checking tweets before bed, I saw Tara Betts' note about and link to the New York Times obituary for Abdias do Nascimento (1914-2011, at left, photo by Bia Parreira), one of the extraordinary figures in Brazil's contemporary history. Nascimento advocate for the rights and cultural of Afro-Brazilians, and major contributor to that culture and the society. A playwright, poet, scholar, teacher, artist, activist, and politician, Nascimento had never softened his voice in calling out Brazil's racism and countering its prevailing ideology, still dominant despite major intellectual and cultural shifts, of itself as a "racial democracy."

Among his many social, political, economic and cultural interventions were his founding of the Black Experimental Theater in Rio de Janeiro, in 1944, which became a site for the production and celebration of Afro-Brazilian dramaturgy and culture; his participation in the first Congress of Brazilian Blacks, in 1950, sponsored in part by the acting troupe, which staged one of Brazil's best known exports of the mid-century, Vinicius de Morães's Orfeu negro (Black Orpheus), which Marcel Camus adapted into the award-winning movie of the same name; and his role in the 1945 founding of the Afro-Brazilian Democratic Committee to free political prisoners held by the right-wing Vargas regime. Later he established the Ipeafro (Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Afro-brasileiros), the Institute for Afro-Brazilian Research and Study.

Nascimento spent nearly 20 years in exile after Brazil's 1964 military coup, living in the United States, where he taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and in Nigeria, returning in the 1980s. Yet while in exile, he helped found the Democratic Labor Party of Brazil, and after the resumption of democracy he served as a federal deputy and senator, and as the Secretary for the Defense and Promotion of the Afro-Brazilian Populations in the State of Rio de Janeiro in during the 1991-94 term of Leonel Brizola. As the New York Times writes, Nascimento gave one of his final interviews to Henry Louis Gates Jr. as part of Gates's Black in Latin America series on PBS, which I wrote about a few weeks back. You can watch the Brazil episode here.

A native of Franca, São Paulo, and a graduate of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Higher Institute of Brazilian Studies, and the Oceanography Institute, Nascimento authored many works, including Africans in Brazil: a Pan-African perspective (1997); Orixás: os deuses vivos da Africa (Orishas: the living gods of Africa in Brazil) (1995); Race and ethnicity in Latin America - African culture in Brazilian art (1994); Brazil, mixture or massacre? Essays in the genocide of a Black people (1989); Sortilege (1978); and Racial Democracy in Brazil, Myth or Reality?: A Dossier of Brazilian Racism (1977). He also founded the important journal Quilombo. If you read Portuguese, O Dia has posted an obituary here. Scholar Molefi Kete Asante wrote a tribute posted on Dialogues.

One of my great hopes was to meet Nascimento before he passed. I nevertheless have a small link to him; a few years back, I came into possession of several copies of K. Anthony Appiah's and Gates's magisterial Encyclopedia Africana, and it so turned out that a Brazilian correspondent mentioned that Nascimento might be interested in one, so I sent it to him and he brought it down to Nascimento. It was a small (but heavy) gift of tribute to an amazing figure, and I have always hoped that he had the opportunity even to flip through it once or twice, to see Aaron Myers's fine entry on him.
