Remembering Clover the Talkative Cat

I'm going to talk about some personal stuff here, so if you're looking for this month's Hollywood events calendar, you may want to skip ahead to the events section below. Note that ScreenPlayLab's next mixer is on March 11th. RSVP online at www.ScreenPlayLab.com.

Our grey tiger-stripe tabby cat Clover passed away last week after a long life of over 18 years. We still imagine we hear the sound of Clover's paws as she scrambles down our hallway, her claws unable to gain traction on our hardwood floors as she gallops past then slides onto the rug as though it's a sled. The downstairs neighbors even complained to our building manager that we must be keeping a dog in our place, or maybe an elephant, because no mere cat could walk so heavily on her paws. "Thunder-paws" loved to prance and play and chase a piece of string.

Clover was a tiny kitten at the animal shelter in Chicago when we met her. She reached out her paw through the cage to choose us. She fit comfortably in my hand. Little did we realize how big she would grow. A curious but careful kitten, Clover would tag every object in the room with her paw to test that it wasn't alive, that it wouldn't move. She traveled across the country with us until we settled in Los Angeles, where we came for me to work on a project at DreamWorks.

Clover was a very talkative cat. She was persistent in trying to teach us the nuances of cat language, a subject she was disappointed I couldn't master. She liked to keep up with her tiger cat skills, such as springing upon my ankle after lying patiently in wait under the furniture, or hiding motionless in plain sight yet so well camouflaged we couldn't spot her. It was a game to make us pop open a can of food to tempt her out of her hiding spot.

She kept us on our toes. In the kitchen, her favorite place to be was wherever we tried to walk, to always manage to be underfoot. A gourmet, Clover insisted she sample or at least sniff whatever we were eating, except bananas that she loathed. She liked peas, not to eat, but to bat with her paw. And, she would steal our toast.

Every evening Clover came to me at 5pm to cry loudly to remind me it's time to start making dinner, preferably during a telephone call with some studio executive who now wonders if my office is at the zoo. Every night Clover would curl up on the foot of the bed to sleep. If was cold, she'd crawl under the covers. She was always there somewhere, to reach out and pet, if not leaning hard against our legs sleeping. Her tail would twitch, would tickle us as she thought up new cat mischief, such as waking us using "leg rolling". That's the trick of balancing and walking on our legs like a lumberjack performing log rolling.

Clover was sick for the last few years, yet had many miraculous recoveries where she rebounded and seemed normal. When she died, Clover stretched out her long paws one final time and was gone. Clover probably had hyper-thyroid, a condition that causes a cat's body to run faster than it should and eventually causes the organs to fail. I took her body to the West L.A. Shelter on Pico near Route 405, where they're available for emergencies 24 hours a day if you ring the bell. If you can adopt an animal, volunteer to help walk the dogs, make a donation, or otherwise help at the shelter, they want to hear from you.

Thinking about Clover, I realize we spent more time with her than most of our human friends. We'll miss her bright eyes, her fascination with life, and her spirit of adventure.

Seeking a Junior Executive Position...

An outstanding executive assistant we know is seeking a position as a junior exec. She was promised the opportunity to advance within the top production company where she works now, but due to a merger the position she wanted is being eliminated. She's top notch, experienced in development and production, and has worked in TV and film. If you know of a production or development office that needs an amazing junior executive, please let me know.

Class Action Settlement for TV Writers Over 40...

Seventeen television networks and studios and seven talent agencies have agreed, subject to Court approval, to settle age discrimination allegations in connection with the hiring and representation of television writers age 40 or over, in nineteen separate class action lawsuits, for a collective payment of $70M. The defendants include ABC, APA, Carsey-Werner, CBS, Columbia TriStar Television, Inc., DW SKG TV LLC, formerly known as DreamWorks SKG TV LLC, Fox, NBC Universal, Paradigm, Shapiro-Lichtman, Sony Pictures Television Inc., Spelling Television, The Gersh Agency, The Endeavor Agency, The WB Television Network, Touchstone Television, TriStar Television, Inc., Twentieth Century Fox, UPN, UTA, Warner Bros. Television, William Morris Agency, and William Morris Endeavor Entertainment LLC.

The defendants deny wrongdoing and wish to end litigation pending since 2000. The settlement defines two classes: persons age 40 or over who have previously written for television, and others age 40 or over who have been denied the opportunity to write for television. To check if you qualify as a settlement class member, you can get more information at the websites or telephone numbers below. To qualify for a payment, you must submit a claim form by April 13, 2010.

Two Final Draft Questions...

A member wrote me to ask, "Can you tell me how to remove CONTINUED from each page in Final Draft?" A script analyst had told him he shouldn't have them in a spec script.

The Final Draft setting controlling that is under {Document}{Mores and Continueds}. However, if you find a CONTINUED on every page, that might not be a formatting issue. It could be a writing style problem, that the characters are monologuing. Do they have too many lines of dialogue together? If that's the problem, the solution is to make the dialogue snappier and shorter. A way to do that is to only allow each character a sentence or two, to break up or remove longer passages.

In general, the stock Final Draft format is perfect for spec scripts. The other formats are mainly for use on shooting scripts. Typical readers are looking hard at content, not format. If your script is in industry standard format and spelled correctly that's sufficient...unless someone in the producer's office says otherwise. When submitting solicited material, you or your agent can always ask how they prefer it formatted. Hopefully, you're friends with the assistant and can ask her or him.

Another member wrote to ask a Final Draft question about a script that would arbitrarily shift page breaks around, that the number of pages kept changing slightly for no reason. In a bizarre case like this, I suspect a corrupted document. To create a new clean copy of a corrupted Final Draft document, cut-and-paste the contents of the suspect script into a new document and save it as a new script.

Love you guys!
