American Movie Classics Launches Web Site
 
"Studio in Cyberspace" Offers Info and Trivia on Classic Hollywood,
Link to Microsoft's "Cinemania" Online
 
WOODBURY, NY, May 30, 1996 -- Want to take a method acting class in
cyberspace? How about discover little-known trivia about a classic star, like
where they filmed they most famous scene or what their favorite food, book
and movie was? Would you like to enter a contest through which you could win
some of their prized personal effects, or even the opportunity to take over
their mansion for a day?
 
This is just a tiny preview of the kind of irrestible, ever-changing goodies
available at AMC Studios (http://www.amctv.com), the new Web site from
American Movie Classics, cable's premiere classic movie network.
 
A virtual studio of vintage Hollywood, the site is a definite bookmark for
Web-surfing classic movie-lovers. Among its nine links, it offers a peak
inside stars' dressing rooms, a screening room with AMC program listings,
info on AMC's Star of the Month, and more!
 
Cybersurfers arriving at the Home Page are encouraged -- by Marilyn Monroe,
no less! -- to sneak past the guard snoozing at the front gate. Once in, you
find yourself in a virtual backlot, where you can tour separate buildings to
learn more about your favorite stars and films, communicate with AMC
personalities, enter contests or "click away" to other great movie sites on
the Web, including a comprehensive searchable memorabilia database.
 
 Coming soon is a link to Microsoft's Cinemania Online
(http://msn.com/cinemania), the online version of the best-selling
interactive movie guide and brand-new pages of interest, focusing on film
preservation and Remember WENN, AMC's critically acclaimed new original
comedy series about the Golden Days of Radio.
