Unicef USA has appointed star of Netflix’s adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel All the Light We Cannot See, Aria Mia Loberti, as the organization’s newest Ambassador.
The announcement comes while Loberti is advocating on Capitol Hill for equitable access to education and recognition of how the climate crisis disproportionately impacts women and girls.
Loberti, a lifelong activist, began working with Unicef USA in 2022. In addition to traveling with Unicef to Kosovo to see the organization’s work firsthand, she has supported Unicef USA’s efforts to pass the Read Act Reauthorization in the United States as well as used her platform to amplify the voices of youth changemakers.
“When I decided to explore acting, I knew that I wanted my journey to be grounded in purpose,” said Loberti. “Working with Unicef USA, having the honor of being named the newest Ambassador and being trusted with the...

Shawn Levy and the cast of Netflix’s “All the Light We Cannot See” are giving a special look at the “timeless” limited series in a behind-the-scenes featurette that debuted Thursday.
“All the Light We Cannot See” is based on the Anthony Doerr novel of the same name that follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and her father as they navigate German-occupied Paris during World War II. Steven Knight adapted the book.
Director and executive producer Levy searched for an actor who could fill the shoes of Marie, landing upon Aria Mia Loberti, who is visually impaired. “Maria’s experience of blindness is not a catalyst for the story necessarily,” said Loberti, adding that “it is her experience as a blind girl navigating love and loss at the time of war.”
Levy revealed that Loberti never had intentions of being an actor, and the Netflix series served as her first audition.

Netflix on Thursday released a behind-the-scenes look at the production of “All the Light We Cannot See,” introducing star and first-time actress Aria Mia Loberti.
Produced and directed by Shawn Levy, the series based on the best-selling Pulitzer Prize winning novel from author Anthony Doerr, stars Loberti as Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French teen during the Nazi occupation of France in World War II.
The clip explains how Loberti inhabits the role.
“This massive part in this epic series, it’s probably one of the best gifts I’ve ever been given,” Loberti says in the featurette.
The film also stars Louis Hofmann as Werner Pfennig, Mark Ruffalo as Marie-Laure’s father Daniel LeBlanc and Hugh Laurie as Marie-Laure’s uncle Etienne LeBlanc.
Levy wanted the process of casting Marie-Laure to be “authentic and equitable” to people with the experience of blindness or low vision. His solution was to find...

The Flash and Aria from Pretty Little Liars get together in this sweet rom-com. The Freevee original film titled Puppy Love is directed by Nick Fabiano and Richard Allen Reid from a screenplay by Gregg Glienna, Peter Stass, and Kristen Guenther. Puppy Love is more enjoyable than a certain big-budget action movie with a stacked cast that came out recently but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Puppy Love is perfect it just means that the aforementioned action movie is that bad.
Puppy Love follows the story of Nicole (Lucy Hale) and Max (Grant Gustin). Nicole is a young independent woman who has put up guards to not let anyone in after a personal tragedy and Max is an extremely introverted man who doesn’t feel comfortable around anyone because of a betrayal amidst the pandemic, which isolated him even more. After a disastrous first date, Nicole...

Gerard Butler has paid tribute to his friend Darius Campbell Danesh, saying he has been left “devastated” by the death of his “brother in arms” last week.
The Scottish actor was reported to be close friends with the Scottish reality TV singing contestant turned West End actor and Hollywood producer, who was found dead in his Minnesota apartment on August 11. They were reported to have met at parties held for fellow Scots by Rod Stewart in LA, and were filmed socialising together earlier this year.
Butler paid his tribute on Instagram, writing: “I am devastated by the sudden passing of my dear friend Darius, a true brother in arms.

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is keeping it in the family. The HBO Max series came to an end Aug. 18, revealing Archie Waters was the person who had been terrorizing the new generation of liars. But fans were most surprised to learn that Imogen (Bailee Madison) was considering giving her baby up for adoption to a couple named Ezra (Ian Harding) and Aria (Lucy Hale), a pair of writers from the neighboring town of Rosewood. This callback to the O.G. series was no coincidence, with Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa explaining that the writers were initially unsure if Imogen should give her baby up for adoption. "And then one of our...

The brutal, bloody finale of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin offers plenty of opportunities for gasps, but even amid the dramatic twists and turns, it’s a much quieter moment that’s sure to get those jaws dropping to the floor.
It comes towards the end of the finale, long after “A” gets unmasked and (temporarily) hospitalized. Tabby asks Imogen about the couple chosen to adopt her baby, and she says… well, this: “They seem pretty perfect, actually. They’re been wanting to have a baby for a while. I think they’re both writers and one owns a bookshop.

Now, that's how you do a season finale.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 could be considered a closed-ending story because the final three episodes truly delivered answers, shocks, and badass moments.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 8, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 9, and Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 10 will go down as the best hours in the history of the franchise.
While the original series was far more about the A reveals, the latest entry has been more about the struggles of the liars as they navigate a world that hasn't been good to them.
It has set the series apart from the others in the franchise, offering a fresh perspective, as opposed to the only mystery surrounding the identity of A.
The A reveal was handled very well. The franchise loves a good twin twist, and A being Archie, Angela's brother, was...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” now streaming on HBO Max.
Over the course of its first season, “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin” has made numerous references to the original series, “Pretty Little Liars,” which wrapped up five years ago. The biggest tribute, however, came in the season finale.
In the last episode, titled “Final Girls,” Imogen (Bailee Madison) revealed that she decided to place her baby for adoption, as she found a couple who have been trying to have a baby for a long time. Then she shared their names: Ezra and Aria. Longtime “Pll” fans know that the pair, portrayed by Ian Harding and Lucy Hale, got married during the 2017 finale on Freeform. Two years later, while “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” was airing, the official Twitter account revealed that Ezra and Aria had adopted a daughter and named her Katherine Ella,...

We have to hand it to Original Sin, the Pretty Little Liars offshoot did something its predecessor never would have dared in its first season finale — it actually exposed the identity of “A.”
