An Actor’s Survival

April 13, 2022 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

An Actor’s Survival         Forever, actors have been keeping track of the bad times. They spend years lamenting over the return of the good old days. When, and if, those days really took place, is another story unto itself.         What we know for sure is one simple fact: whatever the recorded time […]

Positive Thinking

December 1, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

There are times when I wonder why I write a blog. Many years ago when I first picked up a pen for profit I was told in no uncertain terms to prepare for criticism. At least then I was being paid, and somehow indecision regarding the validity of my work didn’t seem to get to […]

Friends Bearing Gifts

August 26, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

When a pleasant surprise is just what it purports to be, it is then that we have both pleasantness and the unexpected of the two joining forces: AKA “Spirituality” TODAY (in particular) Very early in my morning; The economy and the heat of the day, neither of which came as a pleasant surprise, bore nothing […]

Looking Back

August 18, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

The other day, for whatever the reason, I found myself wondering about years past, as I looked in the mirror during my early morning “get ready” for work routine. It was a good thing. The way it used to be, way back in the fifth or sixth grade. I’m sure most of you over the […]

“I Wrote A Blog” Entitled: “From the Heart”; Taking a stand for what you believe and what it means to the actors of Los Angeles and all over the country; perhaps the world. *** Straight from the shoulder was a way of communication taught to me at such an early age, I doubt if I […]

There Will Be Times To Reflect, “As Time Goes By”

July 1, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

In two large corrugated cartons stored in the corner of my office, there are many stories, which will forever remain, not found, and most likely never again to be read by anyone but me. Scripts that began with a dream, and ended in two nondescript boxes in the corner of an office. It took all […]

A Penny For Your Thoughts

December 2, 2010 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

Remembering back a few years ago, when I started on my journey into never-never land, kind of makes me cringe today. Without the foggiest notion of what acting was truly about and armed in my own personal cape of blissful ignorance, it was high gear all the way, until the money ran out. What I […]
