Another former silver screen icon has passed, with THR reporting that Ryan O’Neal, star of Love Story and Barry Lyndon, has died at 82. While his star had dimmed since his heyday, at the height of his fame, Ryan O’Neal was considered one of the biggest stars in the world. His 1970 classic Love Story, co-starring Ali McGraw, made him one of the decade’s biggest heartthrobs, and he followed it up with a couple of stone-cold classics, including a few movies by Peter Bogdanovich. His first movie with the director, What’s Up Doc, paired him for the first time with Barbra Streisand, with the two reuniting years later for The Main Event – both of which were massive hits. Probably his best movie with Bogdanovich, Paper Moon, paired him with his daughter, Tatum O’Neal, who took home an Oscar for her role in this black-and-white depression-set classic.

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O’Neal, who came to prominence on TV’s “Peyton Place” and became a top star of the 1970s in films including “Love Story,” “What’s Up, Doc?,” “Paper Moon” and “Barry Lyndon,” died Friday, his son Patrick said on Instagram. He was 82.
O’Neal was diagnosed with chronic leukemia in 2001 and with prostate cancer in 2012.
“Ryan was a very generous man who has always been there to help his loved ones for decade upon decade,” his son wrote. “My dad was 82, and lived a kick ass life. I hope the first thing he brags about in Heaven is how he sparred 2 rounds with Joe Frazier in 1966, on national TV, with Muhammad Ali doing the commentary, and went toe to toe with Smokin’ Joe.”
In later years, O’Neal’s acting work often took a backseat to media coverage on his personal travails, involving his combative relationship with longtime companion Farrah Fawcett,...

Fans of Judy Blume’s “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” had to wait more than 50 years to see the classic children’s novel transferred to the big screen, but their patience was finally rewarded this spring. Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig (“The Edge of Seventeen”) and featuring such A-listers as Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates, the faithful film adaptation boasts an awe-inspiring Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 99% and was even described by its source’s author in a “Today” interview as “better than the book.” As the 2024 movie awards season begins, its best shot at a Golden Globe nomination lies with its 15-year-old star, Abby Ryder Fortson, who would be the fifth youngest contender in the history of her category.
At this point, Fortson is hovering directly outside of Gold Derby’s predicted six-person Best Comedy/Musical Actress lineup with the support of just over a quarter of our oddsmakers.

According to 85% of Gold Derby’s 2024 Golden Globes predictors, former Best Film Comedy/Musical Actress champion Emma Stone (2016’s “La La Land”) is practically assured a repeat victory thanks to her work in the fantasy epic “Poor Things.” Assuming this decisive opinion is truly reflective of those of Golden Globes voters, it would only make sense for her to leverage that love into a same-year Best TV Comedy Actress notice for her performance on the buzzy new Showtime series “The Curse.”
Were she to prevail on her potential bids for said big screen and small screen projects, she would make history as the youngest individual to simultaneously achieve both types of acting Golden Globe wins.

Sharon Stone became a generational icon due to her daring performance in Basic Instinct. But was far from a household name when the film was shot, which allowed Carolco Pictures to pay her drastically less than her co-star Michael Douglas.
When Stone was invited to attend the Oscars, she even had trouble finding a dress she could afford.

What’s “Sex and the City” without sex?
Back in 1998, there was no such thing as an intimacy coordinator, and Kim Cattrall really bared all as PR maven-slash-token sexpot Samantha. In fact, Cattrall turned down the role three times at then-age 42. “I didn’t think I could do it,” Cattrall explained in a new Variety interview.
Of course, after years of playing the iconic character, Cattrall now has a new stipulation: “I don’t want to be nude anymore. I’m just not interested. I feel like I filled my quota on that one — and without an intimacy coach.”
Cattrall recalled “Satc” love scenes including “someone from the wardrobe department holding a housecoat for you when they said ‘cut’ or putting a towel over you” between takes. And famed costume designer Patricia Field apparently made a special device to hide Cattrall’s genitals.

In 1982, Drew Barrymore became America's little sister thanks to her adorable turn as Gertie in Steven Spielberg's "E.T." But she has another Steve to thank for solidifying her child star status. "E.T." might have made her famous, but back-to-back Stephen King films made her a star.
Barrymore followed up "E.T." with a little-remembered 1984 drama called "Irreconcilable Differences," about a young girl suing her neglectful parents for emancipation. It was a mild success at the time, but is now mostly known for being prophetic since Barrymore herself would go on to sue for emancipation from her own parents at the age of 14.

Securing audiences in the European film landscape and getting good laughs all the way to the box office were some of the topics covered in the programme of panels. “One film can’t have it all!” may well be an undisputable claim for a number of reasons, but trying to minimise the “can’t” bit and maximise the “all!” part will continue to be a primary mission. Gathering around this sentiment in order to compare notes on getting successful exposure in the various channels of the exhibition landscape were Alfred Sesma, sales and acquisitions manager at Pack Màgic, Spain; Agnieszka Dziedzic, producer of the films Double Trouble and Triple Trouble, Poland; Rose-Marie Strand, head of the children’s film department at Folkets Bio, Sweden; and Petra Rockenfeller, manager at the Lichtburg-Filmpalast cinema in Oberhausen, Germany.

Former “Glee” star Blake Jenner has released a lengthy statement responding to the allegations of domestic abuse raised by his ex-wife and former co-star Melissa Benoist late last year, taking “full responsibility” for the injuries the “Supergirl” star sustained during their relationships while saying the emotional and physical abuse was “inflicted from both ends.”
“I take full responsibility and accountability for the hurt that I inflicted during my relationship with my past partner–emotionally, mentally and yes, physically,” Jenner wrote in the statement, which was posted to his Instagram account on Thursday, nearly a year after Benoist first went public with her accusations.
However, the actor also accused Benoist of abusing him while they were together, saying that she “isolated” him from loved ones throughout their relationship and at one point broke his nose. “I was scratched. I was slapped. I was punched in the face, which caused a trip...

Sharon Stone has seen it all. From her early days of modeling in Europe to her 40-year-long career in Hollywood, she’s surely got enough salacious material to fill more than a few memoirs. While Stone hasn’t been too revealing about her professional life as it relates to #MeToo, in 2018 she did laugh in the face of a CBS news reporter who asked if she’d ever felt uncomfortable on set, implying that she’s had plenty of rough experiences. Now, in a recent issue of Attitude Magazine (via The Independent), Stone shared one moment that made her feel uneasy early in her career, and explained how it’s evidence that intimacy coordinators are needed on film and TV sets.
“They didn’t have [intimacy coordinators] in my day,” Stone said. “When I did my first movie, which was ‘Irreconcilable Differences,’ I had a topless scene. And they didn’t even clear the set.

Allen Garfield, who appeared in such films as “The Conversation,” “Nashville” and “Irreconcilable Differences,” has passed away due to complications of Covid-19, according to one of his co-stars. He was 80.
The actor, who suffered strokes in 1998 and 2004, had been a long-term resident of the Motion Picture Retirement Home. It is not known if he was one of the two victims of coronavirus who died at the facility this week.

Even though we have what appears to be an awesome crossover in the form of “Crisis on Earth-x” to look forward to next week, the reality of the situation is that the bulk of whatever plots unfolding across each of the Arrowverse‘s individual shows will have to be put on hold for the time being. This doubly builds anticipation for their reprisals, especially when you consider the cliffhangers that both Supergirl and The Flash left us on this week.

The rise and fall of Cannon Films is told in Mark Hartley's wildly entertaining documentary, Electric Boogaloo. Here's Ryan's review...
Producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus were famous (or infamous) for many things, but a stringent approach to quality filmmaking was hardly one of them. At the height of their success in the 1980s, the Israeli cousins, and their company Cannon Films, were synonymous with cheap B-movies of just about every kind: Chuck Norris action flicks, sex comedies, ninja martial arts epics, dance movies and tawdry slasher horrors.
Their films frequently horrified critics, but became a staple of video rental stores: with Cannon Films cranking out as many as 50 or so pictures a year at its peak, the company's distinctive logo and self-explanatory film titles (New Year's Evil, Avenging Force, Enter The Ninja) were ubiquitous throughout the 80s and early 90s. The company was eventually brought down by its fast-and-loose approach to film production,...

Irreconcilable differences. It’s the reason many a celebrity couple have given to the world after deciding to forgo the “until death do you part” mantra. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are the latest pair of celebs to announce that they’re going their separate ways. Kardashian said via a statement: “After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.” Just like that. After 72 days. And an estimated $10 Million dollar wedding that was publicized more than the release of a blockbuster movie. Were we all duped into thinking this was the real deal? Was Kris Humphries effectively the winner of a Batchelor-style dating competition, with an inevitable breakup from his spouse announced after all...

Drew Barrymore says Justin Long fills her with "giggly joy". The "Going the Distance" actress, who refuses to confirm reports she has reunited with her on/off boyfriend, says Justin is one of the most important people in her life.
"He's the cat's pajamas. I couldn't love, respect, admire and enjoy that individual more than I do," she said in an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine. "It would be physically impossible for me to have any more giggly joy at this person."
