In the case of Liv Ullmann, who shuttles regularly between Boston, Oslo and Florida [9], she has been moving and working within an international setting for years. Also by Liv Ullmann who – herself drawn to this remote vast land of opportunities while ‘Aussies’ are, in turn, swayed by her – has featured repeatedly on SBS [14] and was interviewed by the late David Stratton in 2009 as he hosted “In Conversation with Liv Ullmann” in conjunction with her staging of A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Cate Blanchett. Liv Ullmann delivered what the Kennedy Centre has called an “utterly astounding”[15] interpretation of Williams’ play in collaboration with the Sydney Theatre Company.

James Joyner · · 15 commentsIn yesterday’s post, “The Trump Administration and Long-Term Damage,” Steven Taylor argued that media attention on the president’s poll numbers and speculation about upcoming elections ignores the real consequences of his actions in office.
