Norman Jewison, the multifaceted filmmaker who could direct a racial drama (In the Heat of the Night), stylish thriller (The Thomas Crown Affair), musical (Fiddler on the Roof) or romantic comedy (Moonstruck) with the best of them, has died. He was 97.
Jewison died Saturday at home — his family does not want to specify exactly where — publicist Jeff Sanderson announced.
A seven-time Oscar nominee, Jewison received the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences in 1999.
Known for his ability to coax great performances out of his actors — 12 of his players were nominated for Oscars, while five of his features made the cut for best picture — the most distinguished film director in Canadian history often used conventional genre plots to take on social injustice.
Improbably, he got his start directing musical specials on television.

And the winner is… No, not of The Voice, of the Monday-night cliffhanger, in which Team Kelly’s Jershika Maple was left to decide whether to join Team Legend or Team Ariana.

Wendy took on “We Can Work It Out” for her blind audition (watch below), earning a rare four-chair turn. Blake was the first coach to push his “I Want You” button, blocking John Legend in the process and later blaming his block Ariana Grande. The country coach called it one of the three best blinds in the show’s two-decade history. Blake sold the deal when he told Wendy she hit powerful notes and let...

As The Voice’s Season 21 Blind Auditions came to a close Tuesday evening, the NBC sing-off teed up performances by a John Legend fan who, despite his admiration for the Egot winner, chose Kelly Clarkson to be his coach; a rocker whose Train cover made Blake Shelton hear the Black Crowes; a trio of sisters who made Ariana Grande do a triple take; and an R&b powerhouse who was likened to a Bruno Mars/Beyonce combo platter. And if you read on, we’ll discuss all of their performances and more…

1950s Radio in Color: The Lost Photographs of Deejay Tommy Edwards(Kent State University Press) is an extraordinary book on several levels. First there is the physical look of the book: it's an over-sized coffee table hardback that does full justice to the photos so beautifully reproduced therein. This brings us to the second point: the book is a priceless historical record of incredible candid photos taken by a man named Tommy Edwards. Who was he? Largely unknown today, Edwards was one of the top early deejays in the Cleveland Ohio market, where he helped make station Were-am a major force in popularizing the new music format known as rock 'n roll. Edwards had the foresight to photograph virtually every up-and-coming music star he was introduced to - and there were few who escaped his sphere of influence. Fate was unkind to Edwards and, due to a...

Jonathan Ross is the English equivalent of David Letterman, back when Letterman was, y'know, frequently funny. Smart, quick, and sly, Ross hosts his own weekly talk show, which airs in the Us every Friday night on BBC America. (It's appropriately titled Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.) But Ross is also a huge comic book fan, with a massive collection of vintage books and art; and a documentary on legendary Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko, to his credit. This month Ross's own comic, Turf, finally sees release. Published by Image, it's equal parts gangster saga and undead fable (with a dash of aliens thrown into the mix); and it's illustrated by the reliable Tommy Edwards. I caught up with Ross, on a rare trip to...
