David E. Diano, a veteran camera operator with credits including Tombstone, The Fast and the Furious, Wedding Crashers and Spider-Man 3, has died. He was 71.
Diano died Jan. 22 at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena of coronary issues after a battle with prostate cancer, his wife, still photographer Gemma Lamana, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Diano served as president of the Society of Camera Operators from 2003-04 before deciding not to run for a second term.
“To write that David was a one-of-a-kind friend to those of us who worked with him would be an understatement,” Soc historical chair Michael Frediani said in a statement. “His kindness, artistry and boyish smile endeared him to countess friends and fellow industry colleagues — and that is what set him apart from many,”
Diano shot 17 movies for cinematographer William Fraker, a six-time Oscar nominee, from 1983-2002. Those films included War Games (1983), Murphy’s Romance (1985), Baby Boom (1987), Memoirs of an Invisible Man...

In 2016, 25 years after the publication of his novel "American Psycho," author Bret Easton Ellis wrote an article for Town & Country magazine reflecting on a question he was frequently asked: what would Patrick Bateman be doing now? In the mid-to-late '90s, Ellis thought that Bateman "would have been the founder of a number of dotcoms." Or, had the book been written in the decade leading up to 2016, "Bateman would have been working in Silicon Valley [...] palling around with Zuckerberg and dining at the French Laundry [...] wearing a Yeezy hoodie and teasing girls on Tinder."
The book is both very much of its time and also eerily prescient. It's easy to imagine Patrick Bateman as an influencer within TikTok's 'Hustle Culture,' working himself into a rage over other guys having more followers than him. As Ellis himself wrote:
"All the themes of the book still hold sway three decades later.

The real Bonnie and Clyde may have died in 1933, but the legend of the couple's crime spree lives on in the form of songs, stories, and one groundbreaking movie. Arthur Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde" took Hollywood by storm when it hit theaters in 1967, generating controversy for its on-screen violence and sensuality -- and kick-starting nationwide conversations about who deserves to be the subject of a movie. While film fans still talk about these topics today, the movie's brutal final shootout feels mild compared to modern blood-soaked movie scenes.
Still, "Bonnie and Clyde" is a fantastic film, thanks in large part to its great cast. Warren Beatty plays cocky Clyde Barrow to Faye Dunaway's initially innocent Bonnie Parker, while actors Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, and Estelle Parsons round out the Barrow gang. A young Gene Wilder made his big screen debut as one of Clyde's hostages, while Denver...

Keri Russell is pretty recognizable. From the college drama series "Felicity" to FX's spy thriller "The Americans," not to mention a small but key role in "Mission: Impossible III," general audiences know her face. However, fans may not have recognized her in "Star Wars: Episode IX -- The Rise of Skywalker," where she always wore a mask. Though we see her eyes for a bit, that's all we get. If you recall, her character, Zorii Bliss, encountered our Resistance heroes on the planet Kijimi, while they were looking for Babu Frik (Shirley Henderson) to get information from inside C-3Po (Anthony Daniels). Zorii has a past with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), both romantically and as a fellow spice runner. Though she initially threatens them at blaster point, Zorii ends up helping the Resistance, even turning up with Babu Frik in the battle of Exegol.

Exclusive: Article updated at 2:54Pm Screenings are being set up this week for streamers Amazon Prime Video, Apple and Netflix to check out and potentially acquire Warner Bros’ axed Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme after the studio’s phone ran off the hook the entire weekend from angry filmmakers and talent reps over their third feature film kill after Batgirl and Scoob Holiday Haunt!
The more egregious Hollywood sin with Coyote vs. Acme is that it’s a finished film was intended for a theatrical release, while the other two movies were still in the works.
Of those kicking the tires, even though no deals have been drafted, I hear Amazon is a leading contender given the fact that Courtenay Valenti, the Head of Film, Streaming and Theatrical for Amazon Studios and MGM, was a big champion and linchpin for the movie while she was President of Production...

Michael J. Fox’s is talking about his many health problems, including ones not generally known by the public. In a recent Town & Country interview, he revealed the astonishing story of a limb he almost lost.
“My hand got infected and then I almost lost it,” he said. “It was a tsunami of misfortune.”
The hand issue is just one of the problems he’s faced. He said he’s broken two arms, a shoulder, his orbital/cheekbone, and one of his hands. He also had surgery for a spinal tumor.
“One day I’ll run out of gas … Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn’t be unheard of. And so, no, I don’t fear that.”
Fox has been battling Parkinson’s since 1991.

Michael J. Fox has been open about his health battles, including his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis at age 29, but now he’s revealing other medical setbacks he’s experienced over the years.
While speaking with Town & Country magazine, in an interview published Thursday, the Back to the Future actor shared that he has broken his arm and shoulder, smashed his orbital bone and cheek, and broken his hand in recent years.
“My hand got infected and then I almost lost it,” Fox said. “It was a tsunami of misfortune.”
He also previously revealed in his 2020 book, No Time Like the Future, that doctors found a spinal tumor unrelated to his Parkinson’s that threatened to paralyze him in 2018. After undergoing surgery and months of physical therapy, he was able to start walking again, but with challenges.
Shortly after, he ended up tripping while he was alone in his apartment and broke his other arm.

To the music world, the power of Taylor Swift is nothing new. But this week, the sports world got a taste of just what the singer-songwriter and her Swifties can do.
After the “Cruel Summer” singer made an appearance at the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs game Sunday to support football star Travis Kelce, it sent her fans into a frenzy. Especially since the tight end has previously been open about having romantic feelings for Swift.
Though neither has confirmed their relationship status, that didn’t stop them from becoming the center of conversation across social media, sports outlets and more.
But the NFL wasn’t the only professional sports league talking about Swift. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said on Thursday’s episode of ESPN’s First Take that Swift should stop hanging out with Kelce so he can set her up with one of the players on his NBA team.

It seems Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have some work to do. According to a royal commentator, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “need” to hone their “raison d’etre,” or purpose, if they want to be a “philanthropic power couple.”

Although they’re living in Montecito, California, and have added to their net worth since stepping back as senior working royals in 2020, Harry and Meghan have a long way to go to create a “strong brand” of their own, Victoria Murphy, a contributing editor of Town & Country, said on the August 2023 episode of Palace Confidential (via Mail Online).
Saying some might be wondering if the pair “made the right decisions” since striking out on their own, Murphy said Harry and Meghan haven’t necessarily been quite successful.

The Frasers usually keep their intimate moments private. But in Season 1, Episode 8 “Both Sides Now,” the duo briefly enjoyed some sexy time outside in the Scottish highlands before being interrupted by British soldiers.
What really makes this scene #CoupleGoals is when Jamie asks Claire: “Does it ever stop, the wanting you?”

In movies, the word “bomb” has always meant two things, generally at the same time. The first and most important definition of bomb is that a movie has lost a disastrous amount of money. Movies, in general, can’t afford to do that — they’re too expensive to produce. Bombs happen, but as a business model they’re not sustainable. A movie that bombs commercially has never been something to write off as a trivial matter.
The second definition of bomb, which is linked to the first (though not automatically), is that a film is spectacularly bad. It is, of course, not axiomatic that a movie that bombs commercially has failed as a work of art. There are movies we think of as classics that crashed and burned at the box office — like “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “Blade Runner” or “Intolerance” or “The Long Goodbye.” It’s become almost...

If you're a "Yellowstone" fan, there's a good chance your favorite character might be Rip Wheeler, the tall, dark, and totally smoldering foreman at the Dutton ranch who is easily one of the dreamiest young men to grace the Paramount series. Turns out that, shocker, I'm not the only one who thinks this about Rip — and his real-life counterpart Cole Hauser was pretty surprised at the audience's loyalty and love for the rancher.
In fact, the well-known actor doesn't think the series' showrunner, Taylor Sheridan, saw it coming either. Hauser told Town & Country in a recent interview:
"I think it surprised Taylor too. It's definitely not something that was ever on the table, that we ever discussed. In fact, I think it was quite the opposite. [Taylor] was like, 'Oh man, people are gonna think you're f***ing nuts. I wrote this scene, the way you kill this guy or burn this guy,...

All good things must come to an end, and it looks like that's going to be the case for "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV+ after the conclusion of its in-progress third season. But it's certainly better to let something end on its own terms rather than drag it out for far too long. Fans will still have something special to take away from the experience, as will star Juno Temple, who plays fan-favorite Keeley Jones on the show. Temple actually earned some real-life benefits from playing the part, including gaining some insight into her own career.
Speaking with Town & Country, Temple was asked about how the role of Keeley has actually impacted her life. In response, the actress explained that her time on the show provided some incredibly valuable insight into both her personal and professional lives:
"She's definitely taught me more about being kinder to myself. She's got such a light about her.

This post contains spoilers for "Ted Lasso" season 3.
Roy and Keeley are no more. The "Ted Lasso" power couple spent the first two seasons of the series falling in love, only to part ways thanks to what basically amounts to scheduling conflicts hinted at in the show's season 2 finale — they're both in a period of career growth, which means there's no time to be together. The news that they split was not well-received by fans of the grumpy-and-sunshine couple, and Roy's niece, Phoebe, did not take it particularly well either. Yet if you ask the show's cast, no one took it harder than Roy himself, actor and series writer Brett Goldstein.
"There are no Roy/Keeley stans out there who are upset as Brett Goldstein, the biggest Roy/Keeley stan of all," Goldstein's co-star and series co-creator Brendan Hunt told the Today show in the wake of the surprising...

Yet if you ask the show's cast, no one took it harder than Roy himself, actor and series writer Brett Goldstein.
"There are no Roy/Keeley stans out there who are upset as Brett Goldstein, the biggest Roy/Keeley stan of all," Goldstein's co-star and series co-creator Brendan Hunt told the Today show in the wake of the surprising...

Kieran Culkin said in a new Esquire digital cover story that Jeremy Strong’s acting process was never affected by various criticisms made about his Method acting, most notably by his “Succession” cast members in an infamous New Yorker profile published in December 2021.
“It’s hard for me to actually describe his process, because I don’t really see it,” Culkin told The New Yorker at the time. “He puts himself in a bubble….The way Jeremy put it to me is that, like, you get in the ring, you do the scene, and at the end each actor goes to their corner. I’m like, ‘This isn’t a battle. This is a dance.’”
Regarding Strong’s self-isolation process, Culkin added, “That might be something that helps him. I can tell you that it doesn’t help me.”

Brian Cox’s hatred of Method acting has gone so viral in recent weeks that he parodied himself during a recent visit to “The Tonight Show” to promote the upcoming fourth and final season of HBO’s “Succession.” Host Jimmy Fallon asked Cox about all the media attention surrounding his hatred of Method acting, to which the actor responded, “Well you know, Jimmy, I’ve been a little harsh.”
“I’ve been a little harsh on it,” Cox continued. “I’m sorry about that… in fact, I’ve been trying to set the record straight in a MasterClass series of acting that I’ve been doing. Well actually, I brought a clip. I think this more eloquently explains my feelings about acting. Can we show it?”
Fallon threw to a clip of Brian Cox in a fake MasterClass video.

Brian Cox just wants Jeremy Strong to chill out.
The “Succession” co-stars who play a rocky father-son duo on the Emmy-winning HBO series have publicly debated the merits of Method acting, with Cox continuously warning Strong in the press about the pitfalls of over-committing to a character.
In a new Town & Country cover story, Cox called Strong’s Method acting “fucking annoying,” adding, “Don’t get me going on it.”
Cox said, “He’s a very good actor, and the rest of the ensemble is all Ok with this. But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set. He’s still that guy, because he feels if he went somewhere else he’d lose it. But he won’t!”

Brian Cox has expressed worry over his “Succession” co-star Jeremy Strong’s Method acting in the past, but he was more blunt than over on the topic during a new cover story for “Town & Country” magazine. Cox, who plays the father to Strong’s character on the Emmy-winning HBO series, said point blank about Strong’s Method acting: “Oh, it’s fucking annoying. Don’t get me going on it.”

The battles of the Roy family are well documented on HBO’s Succession, but sometimes those tensions leak through to the cast, especially when it comes to different approaches to acting. Brian Cox, who plays family patriarch Logan Roy in the hit comedy-drama, continues to double down on his criticism of his co-star Jeremy Strong, who plays his son Kendall Roy. Strong has made it no secret that he likes to fully inhabit the character he is playing. Cox previously said he doesn’t understand Strong’s commitment to method acting, telling the New Yorker in 2021, “I’ve worked with intense actors before. It’s a particularly American disease, I think, this inability to separate yourself off while you’re doing the job.” Now, in a new interview with Town & Country, Cox was again asked about Strong’s acting style. “He’s a very good actor,” he said. “And...

Brian Cox is not backing down on his thoughts over his Succession co-star’s, Jeremy Strong, acting style.
“He’s a very good actor,” Cox said in a Town & Country interview. “And the rest of the ensemble is all okay with this. But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set.”
Of Strong always being in character, Cox said, “It’s f***ing annoying. Don’t get me going on it.”

Jeremy Strong’s method acting approach to portraying “Succession’s” deeply tragic Kendall Roy is not news — and it’s something co-star Brian Cox, who plays the gruff and withholding patriarch Logan Roy, finds “f—ing annoying.”
The Emmy-winning Scottish actor has previously expressed his indifference to Strong’s immersive technique, having called the method a uniquely “American disease” in the much-discussed 2021 New Yorker profile of the star. Now, in a cover story with Town & Country, the veteran actor — who is classically trained — doubled down on his sentiments.

Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh’s works in action films have been a major influence behind Uma Thurman’s character of The Bride in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’. But then, why didn’t Tarantino cast her in his iconic martial arts film?
Michelle herself had the same question when she saw ‘Kill Bill’, and she made sure to confront Tarantino about it when the two met afterwards, reports Variety.
“I asked Quentin the same question,” Yeoh said in her ‘Town and Country’ cover interview (via Entertainment Weekly). “He’s very smart. He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your ass?'”
It was the surprise factor that worked in favour of Uma and she didn’t disappoint. According to Variety, Tarantino and Yeoh have a long history together as friends. After all, it was the ‘Pulp Fiction’ director who inspired Yeoh to continue acting after she was...

Michelle Yeoh is a damn treasure, but there’s perhaps no greater fan of the actress than Quentin Tarantino. When the future director was a mere video-store clerk, he headed into L.A.’s Chinatown to track down a tape of Yes, Madam!, one of Michelle Yeoh’s early roles. “I was just a huge, huge fan of hers,” Tarantino said “There was always a twinkle in her eye.” Tarantino has said that Michelle Yeoh’s character in Police Story 3 was a major influence on Uma Thurman during Kill Bill, which begs the question: Why didn’t he cast Michelle Yeoh in Kill Bill in the first place?

Michelle Yeoh has revealed why Quentin Tarantino didn’t cast her in Kill Bill.
According to the director, his 2003 Uma Thurman-led action film took inspiration from the 1992 action movie Supercop, which starred Yeoh and Jackie Chan.
In a new interview with Town & Country, Yeoh explained why she didn’t land a role in Tarantino’s classic film, despite his admiration for her as an actor.
“I asked Quentin the same question,” she said. “He’s very smart. He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your a**?’”
While Yeoh wasn’t cast, she still credits him with encouraging her to come out of retirement after she suffered a serious back injury on the set of the 1996 film The Stunt Woman.
“I must say, Quentin, he’s persistent,” Yeoh said. “He is who he is today because he’s full of passion and love, so he wore me down.

Tarantino on Why Michelle Yeoh Wasn’t in ‘Kill Bill’: Unbelievable ‘Uma Thurman Could Kick Your Ass’
Michelle Yeoh knows why her longtime fan, Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino, didn’t cast her in his martial arts film “Kill Bill.”
Tarantino has been open about the fact that vengeful The Bride (Uma Thurman) was directly inspired by Yeoh’s role in 1992 action-comedy “Police Story 3,” but Yeoh was never asked to battle it out with The Bride in either “Kill Bill” or its sequel.
In a Town & Country cover story, Yeoh admitted that she “asked Quentin the same question” about not being cast in the 2003 movie or its subsequent 2004 “Vol. 2.”
“He’s very smart,” Yeoh said of Tarantino. “He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your ass?'”
Tarantino shared that he has been a “huge, huge fan” of Yeoh for decades. “There was always a twinkle in her eye,” the “Hateful Eight” director explained.

Say this about the pandemic: There are now enough songs about Covid-19 to make for a pretty eclectic playlist. The track lineup would include T Turbo, Gunna and Young Thug’s chilled-out “Quarantine Clean,” Luke Combs’ forlorn “Six Feet Apart,” and Twenty One Pilots’ kitschy, almost romantic “Level of Concern.” If nothing else, the virus has found common ground between genres that otherwise would have barely much in common.

Johnny Brown, best known for his role as the housing project superintendent Nathan Bookman on the TV show Good Times and a Laugh-In regular, has died at 84. No cause of death was given by his family, who announced his March 2 death on Instagram.
Daughter and actress Sharon Catherine Brown wrote on Instagram. “Our family is devastated. Devastated. Devastated. Beyond heartbroken. Barely able to breathe.”
Brown had a multi-facted career. He recorded songs and played in a band, appeared on Broadway, and was a television regular, including three seasons as part of the ensemble on the hit show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. That appearance was a double-edged sword, as his contractual commitments to the show prevented him from taking the role of Red Foxx’s son on Sanford and Son.
Former Laugh-In writer-turned-producer Allan Manings brought Brown to Good Times in 1975, midway through its second season.
