A forthcoming “cold case” documentary investigating who betrayed Anne Frank’s hiding place has uncovered a new suspect.
Investigators, including a former FBI agent, believe Arnold van den Bergh, a one-time member of Amsterdam’s Jewish Council, may have been responsible for revealing Frank’s hiding place in the secret attic above her father’s office.
The documentary’s investigators suggest Arnold van den Bergh betrayed the Franks in order to save himself, although some have said the evidence for this is “weak.”
What remains undisputed is that after receiving a tip-off from an unknown individual, the Nazi SS discovered Frank, her parents Otto and Edith, her older sister Margot, a dentist called Fritz Pfeffer and another family, the Van Pels, hiding in the attic. All eight occupants were sent to Auschwitz.
Frank was able to pack only a handful of possessions and was forced to leave behind her diary,...

Having been a fixture on British TV since she was 11 years old, Felicity Jones has made the jump across the pond with her breakout role in the Sundance Grand Prize-winning film "Like Crazy." But she’s not just another pretty Brit. Here’s why we think you’ll be seeing more of Jones in the years to come.
Age: 27
Hometown: Birmingham, England
What She’s Done: Starred in "Doctor Who" and a miniseries adaptation of "The Diary of Anne Frank" in the UK. She was also in the Ricky Gervais comedy "Cemetery Junction" (it was a straight-to-dvd title in the States) and Julie Taymor’s adaptation of "The Tempest."

Hey, ladies! After failing to get more well-known names like Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Saoirse Ronan (well, okay, Stewart and Fanning — Ronan is still a pretty obscure name in the States), Universal has now decided to go the Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” route, aka casting a relative unknown to play Snow White in their upcoming “re-imagining” of “Snow White and the Huntsman”. And the actor set to play the Huntsman? Michael Fassbender, of course. (Hey, that’s Michael Fassbender!) Heat Vision breaks down the short list of potential Snow Whites: – Riley Keough (below), the granddaughter of Elvis Presley and daughter of Lisa-Marie Presley. She made her film debut playing Marie Currie in The Runaways and recently wrapped a vampire flick with Kylie Minogue titled Jack & Diane. – Felicity Jones, an English actress currently seen as Miranda in Julie Taymor’s The Tempest. She also played Margot Frank in...

It’s a tough choice, but someone’s got to make a decision here. Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman project is ramping up the casting process by getting some potential leads in mind. But who will they choose?
Before we get to that, Relativity Media is gearing up for their dueling version of Snow White, directed by Tarsem (The Fall, The Cell), and Deadline reports they are interested in Julia Roberts taking the lead role. Like Universal’s project, this is also fast-tracked. Now on to Universal’s shortlist:
So, Charlize Theron is in the running for the evil queen, and Michael Fassbender could be the title’s huntsman, but what about the orphan girl with raven hair and ruby red lips?
Initially the studio had the likes of Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Saoirse Ronan in mind, but it seems as though they’re now moving towards...
