The Duke Chronicle recently ran an interesting article about Duke University showing up in a handful of movies and TV shows. By "showing up" we mean they get a mention or maybe a crew films some scenes there. One such mention is on one of The CW's current teen angst dramas, Privileged. It's a show about a beautiful (of course) tutor who lives and works with some spoiled, wealthy kids (also beautiful) who are busy doing all the usual spoiled, wealthy kid things. But one of the storylines is that they also just happen to be trying to get into ... where else? Duke. Anyway, it's an interesting -- and pretty thorough -- look at Duke's flirtations with Hollywood over the years. Read it here.
Privileged airs tonight at 9pm.
