Congress
is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment
-- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies
like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast
from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what
site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our
elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying
campaign.
Plot Summary: Based on characters created by Carolyn Keene, "Nancy Drew" follows Nancy (Emma Roberts) as she accompanies her father, Carson Drew (Tate
Donovan), to Los Angeles on one of his business trips and stumbles across evidence
about a long-unsolved crime involving the mysterious death of a beautiful movie
star. Nancy's resourcefulness and personal responsibility are put to the test
when she finds herself in the middle of the fast-living, self-indulgent world
of Hollywood. — More here

Nancy Drew Arrives in Hollywood Where
Nancy Drew goes, mystery follows. And, for more than 75
years, this young heroine's fans worldwide have been eagerly
going along on the adventure--exploring every dark path
and secret staircase to find the clues that will solve
the crime and confirm Nancy's reputation as everyone's
favorite teen detective.

Casting: Old Friends Join New "The
challenge of this kind of project is that it all hinges upon
finding that one young woman who can be smart and courageous,
funny and endearing, and make it all seem completely natural," says
Fleming, who, together with Weintraub, conducted an extensive
search to find his Nancy Drew. What made Emma Roberts the standout
favorite was her approach to the role. "Rather than playing
the idea of who Nancy Drew is, as a character, she played it
as if she were simply a teenager trying to solve a mystery,
a fiercely independent young person actually saying and doing
these things."
3. The Draycott Mansion and Getting Nancy Around L.A The
showpiece set of "Nancy Drew" is the fictional Draycott
Mansion, a home that, even in its current rundown condition,
suggests its former glory as the home of A-list film star Dehlia
Draycott in the 1960s and 70s. Reputed to be haunted since
her death, the house has remained on the rental market and
still contains her original furnishings, personal belongings
and film footage stored in the attic - all of it rich with
clues to the past.

Nancy Drew, Fashion Trendsetter
Many of the
qualities that define Nancy Drew as a person are reflected in her look: straightforward,
confident and classically inspired, but with a sense of fun and a style all her
own. To achieve this, producer Jerry Weintraub turned to Oscar-nominated costume
designer Jeffrey Kurland ("Bullets Over Broadway"), his collaborator
on "Ocean's Eleven."
