What Doris Day Really Thought of That ‘Calamity Jane’ Subtext

Summary

  • Calamity Jane is a groundbreaking film that challenges traditional gender roles and explores LGBTQ+ themes through its characters and relationships.
  • Doris Day, the luminary of the production, embraced the cultural impact and importance of the Queer community's reception of "Secret Love" and her feminist roles.
  • Day's seal friendship with Rock Hudson, a closeted gay man, and her support of the LGBTQ+ people further solidified her status as a gay ally both on and off-screen.

Calamity Jane, the excellent Deadwood-set Western musical, is more than just a tune-filled romp through the (in)famous American town: it's a bold dissection of gender, femininity, and sexuality with screen legend Doris Day in the title role. As Jane, Day shirks the conformity of gender roles, opting for cropped hair, buckskins, and a pistol (it's a metaphor) that's more than capable of blasting away those who challenge her. She's rough, toug

Why Robin Weigert's Teddi Bruin Left Tracker After Season 1

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from the Tracker season 2 premiere, "Out of the Past."

After only one season and 13 episodes, Tracker lost one of its five original cast members — Robin Weigert. Weigert starred as Teddi Bruin, who was married to Velma Bruin and worked as one of Colter Shaw's handlers in the CBS action drama. As fans recognize, Tracker revolves around Justin Hartley's Colter, a survivalist and rewardist. Colter is a lone wolf who travels around the land, using his expert tracking skills to help law enforcement and private citizens, and Teddi and Velma assist him with his work during season 1. Starting in season 2, though, Teddi is not on Colter's payroll.

Tracker season 2 consists of 22 episodes and airs on Sundays at 8 pm ET on CBS.

Beginning in season 2, episode 1, "Out of the Past," Weigert is no longer a part of the Tracker cast. The actress' final appearance comes during the Tracker season 1 finale (unbeknownst to the audience), meaning that Weigert isn't around to send her character off in the season 2 premiere. As a result, the other characters, including

It was recently reported that Robin Weigert's character, Teddi Bruin, will be leaving Tracker ahead of season 2. It's a shocking bit of news considering the exhibition is only just past its first season, a season that was hugely successful with critics and audiences alike. According to CBS, Tracker was its most-watched original business since Desperate Housewives20 years ago, an impressive

Robin Weigert Hits It On the Head

ABOVE: MAGGIE SIFF (LEFT) AND ROBIN WEIGERT IN CONCUSSION.

In Concussion, a bored, well-to-do housewife takes up an unusual “finding herself” hobby: prostitution. Feeling unloved by her wife Kate, Abby buys a run-down apart in Brand-new York City to renovate. With the help of her contractor, she begins bringing clients—generally young, insecure women and one yummy mummy from her town played by Maggie Siff–back for 800 dollars each. As her “hooker name,” she chooses Eleanor.  “I love it for its sort of old-fashioned prissiness,” actress Robin Weigert laughs over the phone.

The first film from writer-director Stacie Passon, Concussion draws its title from the event that seemingly spurs this lifestyle change: when Abby is hit in the face by a ball thrown by her son. Not exactly a model parent, Abby promptly calls him a “little shit.”

A graduate of NYU, Weigert’s résumé is one of cult television shows—Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy—and indie films, such as Synecdoche, Modern York and The Intimate Lives of Pippa Lee. Since Concussion premiered in
