Elaine Stritch performs during a Broadway performance at the White House in Washington

Elaine Stritch, a husky-voiced actress whose performances over six decades lit up New York’s Broadway and London’s West End and brought a touch of the profane to the stage with her brassy personality, died on Thursday at age 89. Stritch, who also had Emmy-winning roles on the television shows “30 Rock” and “Law & Order,” died at home in Birmingham, Michigan, a suburb of her native Detroit, from natural causes, her spokesman said. Stritch worked with some of the stage’s greatest composers – from Noel Coward, who called her Stritchie, to Stephen Sondheim, who wrote what became her signature song, the show-stopping “The Ladies Who Lunch,” from the 1970 musical “Company.” Her performances were not the only things that made Stritch a Broadway legend. In a May 2013 interview with actor Alec Baldwin, Stritch agreed with his assessment that she was a “legendary pain in the ass.” She played the mother of Baldwin’s “30 Rock” character, TV network boss Jack Donaghy.

Microsoft ends flirtation with Hollywood and original shows – source

Director Steven Spielberg is shown on screen discussing his partnership on Halo the television Series during the Xbox One launch unveiling Microsoft's new Xbox in Redmond

By Ronald Grover and Lisa Richwine LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Microsoft Corp intends to wind down Xbox Entertainment Studios, a source familiar with its plans said, becoming the first major tech company to give up on making original shows in a battle for the living room couch. The studio, set up in 2012 under then-Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer, said in April it had committed to several projects including “Humans,” a drama co-produced with UK broadcaster Channel 4, and “Halo,” a digital feature based on the best-selling Xbox game. Hollywood director and producer Ridley Scott is making “Halo” and it will survive the cutback, according to the source familiar with Microsoft’s plans who was not authorized to speak on the record. Microsoft was among several tech companies that raced to add original TV-like content after the release in February 2013 of Netflix Inc’s “House of Cards,” a political thriller that built buzz for streaming video and earned the first Emmy nominations for a show delivered exclusively online.
