Background
Marian Rees (born October 31, 1927) is a television producer. Spending most of her life in Iowa, she moved to Los Angeles in 1952 to pursue her television career as a receptionist. By 1955, she joined the production company Tandem Productions, and in 1958 served as an associate producer on An Evening With Fred Astaire, which was a highly praised television program broadcast on NBC, winning 9 Emmy awards a year later. However in 1972, Rees was told by Tandem that she would be happier elsewhere. While most thought it was a big blow for her, Rees explained that she used the firing to grow her career. Around the same year, Rees assumed a position at Tomorrow Entertainment, where she broadened her knowledge of television production, where she was associated with a numerous amount of quality productions, including The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Rees later spent 2 years with the NRW Company as vice president and executive producer of The Marva Collins Story, a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation. In 1982, Marian Rees Associates was founded, later for Rees to be joined by Anne Hopkins, who has worked with her ever since. Going through financial pressure, Rees was pushing her first true production, Miss All-American Beauty, to gain network approval from NBC, however the show was rejected by the male executive which just didn't want to trust a woman, as Rees found out. Not long after, the production was picked up by CBS, in which Rees continued the project under budget. In the later years Rees ended up winning 11 Emmy awards.
You can read more about Marian Rees' career and the list of productions she was involved in at the website for the Museum of Broadcasting Communications.
1st Logo (December 27, 1982-December 3, 2000)
Logo: Just an in-credit logo. We see three lines of text stacked up together. The first line contains the letter "A". The second line says: "MARIAN REES ASSOCIATES, INC", and the third line says: "PRODUCTION".
FX/SFX: None, unless there is scrolling text at the end of a production.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Should be seen on most productions by Rees.
2nd Logo (December 27, 1982-April 25, 1988)
Nickname: "MR", "MR Octagon", "Marian Rees Octagon", "MR Stop Sign", "Marian Rees Stop Sign"
Logo: On a black background, there is an octagon shape in white. The inside is filled with red and there is a "MR" shape in the middle, replacing the bottom line. "MARTIN REES ASSOCIATES, INC." is seen below.
Variant: On Foxfire, the logo is on a blue background with no text.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the program.
Availability: Can be seen on Marian Rees's productions from the time period.
3rd Logo (1989-December 3, 2000)
Logo: On a brownish-grey gradient background, we see a nearly-completed (meaning the bottom side missing) octagon shape in a white-black gradient zoom out. As the shape finishes zooming out, the bottom sides of the octagon begin to extend outward, curve and meet each other, forming an M. An R shape in a red-pinkish gradient forms below the M and in the gap of the octagon shape. Then, the text "A Marian Rees Associates Production" zooms in below the logo.
Variants:
- Sometimes, the text will fade in instead of zooming in.
- Sometimes, the text will just say "Marian Rees Associates".
- Videotaped and filmed versions of this logo exists.
- A widescreen version of this logo exists.
FX/SFX: The logo zooming out, the letters forming, the text appearing.
Music/Sounds: A high string note, followed by a "whoosh" sound followed by electronic chimes. Otherwise, it's the closing theme of the program, or none.
Availability: Can be seen on Marian Rees's productions from the time period, such as For the Love of Aaron, When the Vows Break, and Disney's Ruby Bridges.
