La actriz Jenna Ortega (Rancho Mirage, California, 24 años) es ya uno de los rostros más reconocidos de Hollywood. Poco a poco, la intérprete, que saltó a la fama mundial fundamentalmente por su papel protagonista en la serie Miércoles, el spin off de La familia Addams de Netflix, ha logrado que su rostro expresivo y su presencia lánguida y llena de personalidad sean protagonistas de otros títulos, cada vez más asociados al miedo (Scream VI, 2023) y a la temática surrealista o fantástica (Bitelchús Bitelchús, 2024). Ahora, además, la intérprete, cuya próxima película como protagonista, Nasty, se estrenará en 2027, ha sido elegida como portada de noviembre de la edición estadounidense de la revista Vogue. En la entrevista con la publicación, Ortega ha hablado de sus proyectos actuales y de los inminentes, así como de temas más personales, como el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo que sufre desde muy pequeña, cuando ya se dio cuenta de que ella no hacía las cosas como los demás.

James Woods finds serenity settling into his life’s ‘second act’ of song-writing, releasing third album

✇Fox - Latest World News
22 October 2026 at 12:30

Behind his countless roles in film and television productions, actor James Woods has experienced his share of "takes" and "wraps" just as endings and new beginnings have occurred in his creative and personal life.

Now, during what he's referred to as his life’s "second act" after his notorious Hollywood blacklisting and then later the Pacific Palisades fires in January 2025, which still has him and his wife Sara displaced due to their home’s smoke damage, Woods seems to have settled into a life of songwriting serenity.

His third album, "The Killer’s Wife," is what became a concept record released under his own label, Breakheart Music. Created in collaboration with musical artist Bob Wayne and four-time Grammy winner Shooter Jennings, the album draws on Woods’ early years as an actor on the road. At its heart is a true story that he initially treated as fiction: his past relationship with a young woman and mother whom he later discovered was married to a serial killer. That extraordinary saga inspired both the album’s title and its featured song.

"I’m not gonna reveal her privacy and her story. I have no way of knowing where she is now or anything, but I heard that she has a fine life, and she carried on, and she overcame this incredible moment in her life. But I always thought about this question. It intrigued me. Why didn’t he murder her?" Woods explained to Fox News Digital, describing the inspiration behind the album.

"And knowing her, I thought, ‘There’s something about her unbelievable purity of spirit that I think was more powerful than his satanic evil.’ And considering the state of the world, I thought, well, now we’ve got an epic, literally spiritual battle for the survival of the species, really, as a big idea behind the album."

COUNTRY HITMAKER REVEALS HOW FAITH CARRIED HIM THROUGH SON'S MURDER — AND TOWARD COMPASSION FOR HIS KILLER

Woods describes "The Killer’s Wife" as "a musical parable into the dark heart of evil and the glorious triumph of good."

Other songs on the album explore that theme in different ways. "The Hearts of Men" came to Woods as he was reading Matthew 24:12 in the Bible, a passage that speaks of the hardening of human hearts as wickedness spreads. "One in the Chamber," which Woods calls his favorite track, came to him at the last minute and speaks to the need to be prepared for the violent times in which we live.

"Bob does it like a beautiful ballad — it’s so pretty — and everybody said, ‘This song is so beautiful.’ And then you realize what it’s about as you’re singing it, you know, and that’s what I love about our music and why people are really responding to it," Woods said. "It has just such a unique flavor."

A serendipitous encounter at Dan Tana’s, the iconic West Hollywood restaurant, brought Woods and his wife, Sara, together with Jennings and his wife, Misty Swain. Tana, who died last year, was a close friend of Woods. The two couples were the only diners in the restaurant before the dinner rush, and the chance meeting led not only to an unlikely friendship but also to a remarkable musical journey for everyone involved.

Sara has even become Breakheart Music’s art director, creating all three album covers and every photograph used in the releases.

During dinner, Jennings asked Woods whether he had ever considered writing lyrics, telling him to send some along if he ever did. That night, Woods went home and wrote "Misty Morning" in the Notes app on his iPhone in just 20 minutes. Then he heard nothing from Jennings for nearly a month.

"I thought and said to Sara, ‘Oh, what an idiot. I just ruined a good friendship.’ And then all of a sudden, I got this song back (‘Misty Morning’), which is like one of the most beautiful songs ever. And my whole life changed."

Jennings described Woods’ first album, "Hear the Thunder Crack" released in October 2024, as an "expansive poetic journey" and told Woods that it was, in fact, the actor’s autobiography.

FAST-MOVING SANDY FIRE BURNS HUNDREDS OF ACRES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, FORCING EVACUATIONS IN SIMI VALLEY AREA

Wayne later came on board at the suggestion of Jennings, to sing on Woods’ second album, "Tombstone Opera," which Woods described as a kind of "Sergio Leone revenge tale." The project marked another chapter in his second act, one that continued even after the Palisades fires.

Both albums reached the Top 10 on Apple Music’s country album charts and have sold several thousand physical copies.

Like its predecessors, "The Killer’s Wife" was recorded at Hollywood’s iconic Sunset Sound studio and follows Woods’ steadfast rule against using Auto-Tune or artificial intelligence. In addition to writing the lyrics, Woods lends his own voice to the songs performed by Wayne, adding spoken-word passages layered throughout the music.

"It is unusual to have a spoken part, but in this album, it really serves a lot of the songs," Woods explained.

DAVID MARCUS: WOKE 1.0 IS WHY ENTERTAINERS NEEDED OUR SECRET CONSERVATIVE CLUB

The record is available on CD and vinyl through jameswoods.com. The vinyl edition, custom-made by Memphis Record Pressing, features translucent colors and sand-like, opaque elements evoking the seaside, along with a bright-red blood splatter representing the places where the serial killer’s victims were buried.

"One of my favorite things about working with James Woods is how cinematic his writing is. With ‘The Killer’s Wife,’ he really found such a unique way to unfold this mini-opera, and paired with Bob’s amazing musical structures, this album explores so much sonic space that we hadn’t in the beginning," Jennings said.

For Woods, now 79, this musical chapter follows a remarkable acting career that included roles in Oliver Stone’s "Salvador" (1986), Martin Scorsese’s crime drama "Casino" (1995), and Rob Reiner’s "Ghosts of Mississippi" (1996), among many others. Woods left MIT during his senior year in 1969 to pursue acting.

Numerous award nominations and accolades followed.

After being effectively sidelined by Hollywood around 2018 because of his outspoken conservative views and public support for Donald Trump, Woods found a new project in the book "American Prometheus," the biography of Robert Oppenheimer. The project eventually became Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film "Oppenheimer," released in 2023, and helped put Woods back on the map as a producer.

Although Woods was reportedly advised to remain "invisible" during the film’s release — he wasn’t even invited to the Producers Guild Awards — he eventually discovered something unexpected. What initially felt painful also helped him realize that he no longer cared about the Hollywood world as much as he once had.

"It’s important to understand, I loved being an actor. I loved my years in the film and television industry," he said, recalling roles such as his performance in 1979’s "The Onion Field." Whether based on real events or fictional stories, he explained, such projects often addressed the cultural and political issues of the day.

"And at the same time, I understood that my role as an actor was to take another person’s words and directorial concepts, knowing I was there to serve that."

"Those masters, not the people, but the story," he clarified.

Acting, as he has been quoted as saying, "is now a DEI exercise."

Simply put, Woods said he has turned toward "happier things" and spending time with talented musicians, whom he describes as true "magicians" and among the most jubilant people he has ever been around.

"I have this observation I made once. I thought, you know, whenever you look at statues anywhere in the world, they usually celebrate one of two kinds of people: warriors and poets. And I thought, you know, if you got a choice to do one or the other, I’m tired of being a warrior for a cause, getting in the political fray. I want to celebrate art and poetry and music and things I love, and things other people love," he said.

"So, I want to talk about happier stuff. I want to talk about the creation of art. And I want to talk about how we create art, because I love what we’ve created, and I think the people who are hearing it are loving it … and I want to celebrate it," he continued.

El actor John Goodman, de 74 años, considera que empezó a madurar pasados los 55, cuando decidió dejar el alcohol y empezar a bajar de peso. En ese proceso sufrió altibajos: “Perdía 60 libras (unos 27 kilos) en un verano y luego las recuperaba todas —llegando a ganar 70 u 80 libras—, y eso terminó por agotarme”, ha recordado en una entrevista en The New Yorker, publicada el pasado domingo. “Tomé medidas para no tener que pasar más por eso. Llegué a pesar casi 400 libras (unos 180 kilos). Después de dejar de beber, seguía comiendo de una forma compulsiva, casi como si fuera una adicción”, continúa. El actor, que ha participado en más de 90 películas, explica en la revista estadounidense que decidió dejar el alcohol porque se sentía “muy inmaduro” y el consumo solo “perpetuaba esa inmadurez”. “Quería vivir permanentemente en un ambiente al estilo de Animal House (Desmadre a la americana, 1978)”, señala en referencia a la famosa comedia estadounidense.

Olivia Wilde’s revenge: How she got people to stop talking about everything but her work

✇El País - English

Olivia Wilde returns to the screen and the director’s chair with 'The Invite,' a comedy about secrets, desire and the cracks that emerge when a couple believes they know each other a little too well. The film, in which she stars alongside Penélope Cruz and which is already generating Oscar buzz, marks the return of one of the most controversial figures in recent Hollywood history.

An actress turned director, outspoken feminist and central character in one of the entertainment industry's most talked-about sagas, the 42-year-old filmmaker has gone from being the young doctor on 'House' to embodying the contradictions of an industry that applauds women for breaking the rules, but does not always forgive them for doing so on their own terms.

If there is one thing Wilde has made clear during the promotional tour for 'The Invite,' it is her fascination with Penélope Cruz. The director and actress has even joked that she has not washed her hands since touching those of the Madrid-born star, who plays a free-spirited woman capable of turning her neighbors’ relationship upside down. The couple next door are played by Wilde herself and Seth Rogen.

The two have displayed their easy rapport throughout recent promotional appearances, with Wilde at one point describing her co-star as “the sexiest woman alive.” In one scene, Cruz unexpectedly kisses Wilde. The filmmaker has admitted that she completely lost her composure, her mind went blank and she fell hopelessly in love with her co-star.

Wilde is one of the filmmakers who has openly spoken about the difficulties she encounters when casting her films and trying to find actresses who have not undergone cosmetic procedures.

“As a director, I now am constantly searching for actresses who can still move their faces. And it’s not easy!” she said. “I don’t blame them. I’m a product of the same machine, I’m under the same pressures; I get it.”

“I just pray for technology to allow treatments that just aren’t so aggressive. Like, there’s something so medieval about all these things. Can’t someone come up with something better than Botox?” she continued.

For Wilde, the issue is also personal. In recent years, her own public appearances have been met with cruel remarks about her looks, her age and speculation about possible cosmetic procedures.

In 2026, photos of the actress became fodder for mockery on social media, particularly because of her extreme thinness. Wilde herself responded with humor, acknowledging that in those viral images she really did look “like a little dead sarcophagus man.”

On Jan. 6, 2021, the world woke up to an image that would dominate headlines for months: Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles walking hand in hand. Wilde was directing her second film, 'Don't Worry Darling,' and Styles, the former One Direction member, was one of its stars.

The couple’s 10-year age gap, the singer’s global fame and Wilde’s recent separation turned the relationship into a media phenomenon. The spiral soon became impossible to stop: Shia LaBeouf’s departure from the project, rumors that the film’s lead actress, Florence Pugh, had a strained relationship with Wilde and was unhappy with the displays of affection between the director and Styles during filming, and the supposedly viral incident in which Styles appeared to spit on Chris Pine at the Venice Film Festival.

Wilde has since acknowledged that she perhaps should have pushed back against some of the allegations. At the same time, she has recalled that she was experiencing moments of great happiness in her private life.

“ It was like a tornado was right outside the door, and if you were inside you were like, ‘It’s so nice,’” she said. “And you open the door and be like, ‘Ah,’ like a fucking like cow and a tractor would fly by.”

Wilde grew up in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., in a household where current affairs were effectively a member of the family. Her parents, journalists Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, hosted dinner parties attended by guests as prominent as Mick Jagger, Steven Spielberg and writer Salman Rushdie.

Her mother worked as a war correspondent and went on to become a renowned investigative journalist before taking her career in a different direction. In 2018, at the age of 66, she ran as a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, with her daughter’s public support. She lost to the Republican candidate, but her trajectory left Wilde with a powerful example of political engagement and reinvention.

The role that changed everything for Olivia Wilde, who was born Olivia Cockburn and later adopted the surname Wilde in homage to Oscar Wilde, was that of internist Remy Hadley, better known as Thirteen to both Dr. House and the millions of viewers of the medical drama.

Joining the show's fourth season turned her into an international star and one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses. After starring in big-budget films such as 'Tron: Legacy' and 'Cowboys & Aliens,' both of which met with limited critical and commercial success, Wilde later said she felt exploited and objectified by the film industry.

“I had become numb to the fact that every meeting I went on — with men and women, by the way — I was going to be judged on my physical appearance,” she said.

Wilde’s feminist commitment predates the controversies that would later put her at the center of the headlines. In 2017, when the #MeToo movement brought the industry’s abuses of power into the spotlight, she joined the growing chorus of voices calling for change. She also became one of the public faces of Time’s Up, the initiative launched by women in Hollywood to combat sexual harassment and promote safer workplaces, and spoke at the 2018 Women’s March in Los Angeles.
“This business belongs to all of us,” she said that year, advocating for an industry in which her peers could work without fear and without having to compete for opportunities that had historically been denied to them.

Wilde’s debut as a feature-film director came in 2019 with a low-budget comedy that quickly achieved cult status among a generation of moviegoers: 'Booksmart.' The film, which follows two high school students on one final night of partying before graduation, was a hit with both critics and audiences.

Wilde had long wanted to stop being just another cog in the industry and take a more active role in the creative process.

“I always assumed acting was the way in, because for many young women … they’re told, ‘You love movies — you should be a movie star,’" she told 'Variety.' "No one tells a little girl, ‘Why don’t you become a director?’ It’s just not a part of the conversation. But if a little boy says he loves movies, it’s like, ‘Maybe one day you’ll direct. Maybe you’ll be the next Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese.’”

“Romantic and insane.” That is how Olivia Wilde describes her first great love story, which began in 2003 when she was just 19 years old.

At Burning Man, the unconventional arts and music festival held in Nevada’s desert, the young Wilde said “I do” to her boyfriend of only a few months, filmmaker Tao Ruspoli, the son of an Italian prince. By her own account, it took only seconds for her to realize that the ceremony might have been a little too impulsive.

“Immediately, I was like, 'Wait, what the fuck did I just do?'” she remembers thinking.

The marriage ended in divorce in 2011, although the two have remained on good terms.

The same year she finalized her first divorce, in 2011, Wilde met the man who would become the father of her two children: actor Jason Sudeikis (from 'Ted Lasso'). The two met at a 'Saturday Night Live' party, where Sudeikis was working at the time, and went on to build a family with their children, Otis and Daisy.

In November 2020, after several years together and a long engagement, they ended their relationship, setting off a custody dispute that would later make international headlines. In April 2022, during a film industry convention in Las Vegas, Wilde was interrupted onstage when a person approached to hand her legal documents related to the custody case.

Although Sudeikis maintained that he had no knowledge of how or when the papers would be served, Wilde described the incident as “incredibly traumatizing.”

In her day-to-day life, Wilde is often spotted on the streets of New York wearing far simpler outfits, the kind that are easy for ordinary women to take inspiration from. The look pictured here is a perfect example: a blazer, a basic T-shirt, an oversized bag, trousers and sneakers.

It is the sort of outfit anyone might wear to the office or while running errands.

On the red carpet, Wilde has also earned international attention for her distinctive sense of style. Her looks strike a balance between understated elegance, as seen in this high-necked black Saint Laurent gown with structured shoulders, and a more daring sensibility, whether through sheer fabrics or outfits that showcase her sculpted midriff.

Tailored suits are another staple of her wardrobe, further proving her flair for sharp suiting. The architect behind a style that has grown increasingly sophisticated and eye-catching over the years is Karla Welch, who also styles Tracee Ellis Ross and Sarah Paulson.

The actress is also a favorite of fashion houses with markedly different aesthetics, including Chloé (pictured here in one of the brand’s designs), Saint Laurent, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton and Valentino.

Her regular appearances at international fashion weeks, particularly in Paris and New York, have made her one of the celebrity names every brand wants seated in its front row.

Earlier this October, Wilde answered the call of fashion’s designer and label of the moment, stepping out in an updated tweed suit by Matthieu Blazy for Chanel. Elegant yet contemporary, the look demonstrated how her trademark bohemian, '70s-inflected style can also take a decidedly classic turn.

It seems that for Wilde, neither in fashion nor in life, much is beyond reach.

Con una tirita triangular en la frente, que le evita fruncir el ceño, y una explicación tranquila, ha dicho que no hay nada de qué preocuparse. “Quería pasarme por aquí para agradecerles todo su cariño y explicarles por qué uso un bastón: lo necesito porque me han hecho una sustitución completa de cadera. Resulta que mi cadera izquierda estaba en muy mal estado, así que ahora mi objetivo principal es mantenerme en plena forma para poder afrontar con energía cualquier desafío que se me presente”, comienza el mensaje.

Winona Ryder x Gwyneth Paltrow: entenda como rumor abalou amizade da dupla

Winona Ryder, 54, e Gwyneth Paltrow, 54, são duas famosas atrizes de Hollywood, conhecidas por seus trabalhos em filmes e séries norte-americanos. No passado, ambas tiveram uma amizade muito forte, mas que foi encerrada de forma conturbada e misteriosa.

O boato que teria impactado a relação das duas atrizes envolvia o roteiro do filme “Shakespeare Apaixonado” (1998). Winona teria recebido o roteiro e havia guardado os papeis na mesa de centro do apartamento onde morava, e que havia cedido para a amiga Gwyneth durante um período sentimental difícil.

Paltrow teria encontrado o roteiro, entrou em contato com o diretor Harvey Weinstein e pediu a chance de fazer um teste para a personagem principal. Ele teria gostado da atuação da artista e deu o papel para ela.

A atuação foi aclamada pela crítica internacional e foi pelo trabalho que a atriz ganhou seu primeiro e único Oscar — na mesma edição e categoria que Fernanda Montenegro concorreu por “Central do Brasil” (1998).

O que diz a imprensa americana?

De acordo com a revista People, Gwyneth Paltow namorou Brad Pitt em meados de 1996, mas um término conturbado fez com que ela buscasse apoio na casa da amiga, Winona Ryder, que já era um dos grandes nomes da indústria cinematográfica.

No ano seguinte, Paltrow começou a namorar Ben Affleck, melhor amigo de Matt Damon, que por sua vez era namorado de Ryder.

Nesta época, Gwyneth havia recusado um papel no filme “Shakespeare Apaixonado” sem nem ler o roteiro até o final. Depois de encontrar Weinstein, ela terminou de conferir como seria o trabalho e decidiu gravar a produção.

O sucesso do filme foi tão grande que rumores começaram a aparecer na mídia nos meses seguintes à estreia do longa. Tabloides publicavam a história de que Winona havia recebido o roteiro, que acabou na mãos da amiga, e logo perdeu a oportunidade de estrelar a produção.

Informações de biografia

Em 2025, a biografia não-autorizada “Gwyneth: The Biography”, de Amy Odell, afirmou que a relação entre as duas acabou de vez após o boato se espalhar na imprensa. Segundo o livro, Paltrow percebia que Winona sempre inventava uma história sobre ter sido roubada ou alvo de algum tipo de furto quando brigava com Matt Damon.

Incomodada com supostas atitudes tomadas pela estrela de “Edward Mãos de Tesoura” (1990), Gwyneth passou a chamar a rival de “Vagina Ryder”, apelido que chegou a estampar revistas da época.

Alguns anos depois, em seu blog de bem-estar chamado Goop, em 2009, Paltrow retratou o caso sem citar o nome de Winona.

Ela escreveu: “No passado, eu tive uma ‘frenemy’ (amiga que se tornou inimiga) que, no fim das contas, estava bem decidida a me derrubar. Essa pessoa realmente fez o que pôde para me machucar. Fiquei profundamente chateada, com raiva, com todos aqueles sentimentos que você tem quando descobre que alguém que você achava que gostava era venenoso e perigoso. Eu me contive para não revidar”.

A atriz ainda comentou, possivelmente, sobre o caso em que Ryder foi detida após roubar itens de uma loja de grife, em 2001. “Mas um dia ouvi dizer que algo lamentável e humilhante havia acontecido com essa pessoa. E minha reação foi de profundo alívio e felicidade”, comentou a vencedora do Oscar.

Na época, o representante de Gwyneth negou que o texto fosse sobre a antiga amiga dela, algo que nunca foi muito bem aceito pelo público.

Ainda hoje, nenhuma das duas atrizes fala oficialmente sobre o que teria levado ao fim da relação entre elas. Seus representantes também não comentaram o assunto quando a biografia escrita por Amy Odell foi lançada.

'Ant-Man' star Evangeline Lilly says she left Hollywood because she 'always hated being famous'

✇Fox - Latest World News
20 October 2026 at 19:20

"Ant-Man" star Evangeline Lilly revealed in an interview with CBN News published Monday that she walked away from Hollywood six years ago despite a successful acting career, citing her longtime discomfort with fame, health problems and a desire to pursue a more meaningful life guided by her Christian faith.

"I've always hated being famous," she said. "I never made any secrets about that. I've always said being famous is the cost of the wealth that you can get as an actor."

The actress, best known for portraying Kate Austen in "Lost" and Hope van Dyne in Marvel's "Ant-Man" franchise, acknowledged experiencing moments of fear after walking away from the wealth, professional influence and recognition that accompanied her Hollywood success.

"There has been definitely moments of fear of like, ‘How do you consciously and intentionally let go of so much seemingly power and influence and potentially money and also just affirmation of yourself,’" Lilly said.

'VAMPIRE DIARIES' STAR IAN SOMERHALDER SAYS LEAVING HOLLYWOOD FOR FARMING 'SHIFTED MY LIFE FOREVER'

Christian Toto, a film critic and founder of Hollywood in Toto, told Fox News Digital that Lilly's decision to leave her acting career is exceptionally rare, particularly for someone who achieved success in major Hollywood franchises.

"It's extremely uncommon for stars to walk away from their acting careers," he said. "It happens, but it's the exception to the rule. Many work very hard to achieve a level of fame, so giving that up doesn't always make sense. For some, like Lilly, they learn that an actor's life has too many drawbacks, and they seek something more fulfilling."

Despite those concerns, Lilly explained that her faith ultimately helped her embrace a future outside the entertainment industry's spotlight, saying she believed God had a greater purpose for her life beyond acting.

"It's just been incredibly liberating and beautiful to step into a total trust and surrender that God has a plan for my life," Lilly said. "That that plan doesn't necessarily need to – it doesn't have to be about fame and money and wealth and power. It can be about more important things and that all of it works together."

Toto also said that celebrities face intense public scrutiny, arguing that social media has increased the personal pressures associated with Hollywood fame.

"There's a cost to Hollywood fame," he said. "You live under the microscope. Strangers assume they know you and sometimes treat you that way in public. Your career is subjected to scrutiny in ways others can't imagine. It's always been so, but the rise of social media makes all of the above worse."

The actress also revealed that leaving Hollywood significantly improved her physical and emotional well-being after years of struggling with chronic health issues she associated with the demands of her career.

"My health has dramatically improved. I had massive chronic health issues by the time I retired," Lilly said.

'BLUE BLOODS' STAR JENNIFER ESPOSITO SAYS SHE WAS LOCKED IN PSYCH WARD AS HEALTH BATTLE SPIRALED

Lily clarified that she had considered herself retired since 2020, four years before her departure attracted widespread media attention following a retrospective social media post in 2024.

In June 2024, Lilly publicly announced she was stepping away from Hollywood by sharing a video recorded in 2006 in which she expressed her desire to retire from acting, raise a family and pursue humanitarian work.

Toto suggested that Hollywood's treatment of older actresses could also influence decisions to leave the industry, particularly for women who have spent decades pursuing major acting roles.

"Another factor? Hollywood can be cruel to women past the age of 40. Men are allowed to age naturally and can still land major roles, even in action films. It's not as easy for actresses," Toto said.

Fox News Digital reached out to Lilly for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Christina Applegate no tiene esclerosis múltiple: su diagnóstico fue un error. La actriz ha dado la noticia en su pódcast, llamado MeSsy, que presenta junto a la también actriz y paciente de esclerosis, Jamie Lynn Sigler. En él ha contado, este martes, que los médicos se equivocaron en su diagnóstico, hace cinco años. Y que eso, lejos de liberarla, no la ha hecho nada feliz.

Historia de la lancha más deseada del mundo: cómo la Riva pasó de un lago de Los Alpes al estrellato

¿Qué tienen en común películas como La escapada (1962), El desprecio (1963), Goldeneye (1995) o Men in Black: International (2019)? En al menos una de sus escenas, sus protagonistas navegan en una lancha Riva. En el caso de la obra dirigida por Jean-Luc Godard, es Camille, interpretada por Brigitte Bardot, quien viaja a bordo de una de estas embarcaciones. La francesa se dirige a la isla de Capri, donde visita la Casa Malaparte, otro hito del diseño italiano y un capricho más del productor estadounidense que intenta seducirla. Pero la relación de Bardot con el astillero italiano Riva había comenzado antes de aquel rodaje, cuando su primer marido, el director Roger Vadim, le regaló en 1959 la lancha Nounours, modelo Super Florida. El idilio de la diva con estos iconos de mar no acabó con aquel matrimonio, porque también su tercer marido, el excéntrico millonario Gunter Sachs, muy aficionado a disfrazarse de vampiro, era el orgulloso armador de la embarcación Dracula, una estilizada Aquarama con la que paseaban por la Costa Azul.

Monica Barbaro: The dancer who quietly became a Hollywood star

Success may have taken its time, but Monica Barbaro has firmly established herself as one of Hollywood’s most promising talents. After years of searching for her breakthrough, the 36-year-old Californian first drew widespread attention as a fighter pilot in 'Top Gun: Maverick' before winning over the industry with her portrayal of Joan Baez in 'A Complete Unknown,' a performance that earned her an Academy Award nomination. Now, with high-profile projects on the horizon such as the much-anticipated 'Artificial,' a romance with fellow actor Andrew Garfield, and a personal style that balances sophistication with effortless ease, Barbaro has become one of the names worth watching, both on and off the screen.

Acting was not part of Monica Barbaro’s earliest ambitions. Her mother, a professional dancer, enrolled all three of her children in ballet classes. Although she discovered through small school theater productions that acting was her true passion, her family’s encouragement led her to focus exclusively on ballet. She enrolled in the dance program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the United States, and initially approached acting only through elective courses.

© ANGELA WEISS (AFP via Getty Images)

Today, with the dream she first nurtured as a teenager finally fulfilled, Monica Barbaro is grateful for what dance brought to her craft as an actress. “Dance gave me a completely different way into character. People reveal themselves through their body language,” she said. In the photograph, taken in 2018, the actress wears a floral dress by Brock Collection.

Monica Barbaro logged more than 40 hours of flight time to portray a military pilot in 'Top Gun: Maverick,' her first major role in a big-budget Hollywood production. During filming, she even shot some scenes aboard a two-seat F/A-18, enduring forces of up to eight Gs, and went so far as to earn her pilot’s license. All in pursuit of meeting the exacting standards set by Tom Cruise, who, she says, has become one of her most important mentors in Hollywood. "He'll see a person, see their potential and just bring out the best in them," she said of Cruise.

The role that definitively established Monica Barbaro as one of Hollywood’s most exciting breakthrough talents was her portrayal of Joan Baez in 'A Complete Unknown,' the Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet. Barbaro sings and plays guitar herself in the film, despite not knowing a single chord when she landed the part. After months of intensive preparation, her portrayal of Baez emerged as one of the film’s standout performances, earning her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Chalamet later explained that the filmmakers were looking for an actress with gravity and quiet power, someone capable of holding her own opposite his Dylan and even intimidating him slightly. Although the Oscar ultimately went to Zoe Saldaña for 'Emilia Pérez,' the nomination confirmed that Barbaro had moved beyond the status of rising star to become one of the defining talents of a new generation of actors.

© Jerritt Clark (Getty Images for W Magazine)

Parallel to her professional breakthrough, which unfolded amid the awards ceremonies and industry parties surrounding the Oscars, the California-born actress embarked on her first high-profile public relationship. In January 2025, entertainment media began reporting rumors of a romance with actor Andrew Garfield, best known for films such as 'The Social Network.' Those rumors have gradually been borne out by the couple’s repeated public appearances together. Although both have been notably protective of their privacy, Garfield has spoken warmly about Barbaro, calling her a “supremely talented” actress. “I think she is truly incredible,” he said. “I could wax lyrical more, but I'll leave it there.”

In July 2025, the couple made their first official public appearance together at the Wimbledon Championships in London. They embraced the tournament’s traditional aesthetic with coordinated all-white looks, and Barbaro opted for an outfit by Ralph Lauren.

Fate would have it that their romance also blossomed on a film set, as both are part of the cast of 'Artificial,' the highly anticipated new film from Luca Guadagnino, the director of 'Call Me by Your Name.' Widely seen as a potential awards-season contender, the film is based on the story of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and the turbulent days surrounding the brief dismissal and subsequent reinstatement of its controversial chief executive, Sam Altman, who is played by Andrew Garfield. Monica Barbaro, meanwhile, portrays Mira Murati, the company’s former chief technology officer and one of the most influential figures in the artificial intelligence industry, widely regarded as a pioneering leader in the field.

© Neil Mockford (GC Images)

“[Andrew Garfield] is one of the best actors of his generation, our generation,” the actress has said of her co-star. “I just learned a lot from his approach to the material and to developing character, and I felt very fortunate to get to witness that in real time.” Barbaro has also said that working alongside him pushed her to raise her own game. She said she thought: “Oh shit, I really have to step up my game and make sure I'm a proper, legitimate scene partner.”

© Neil P. Mockford (WireImage)

For years, Monica Barbaro struggled to find her place in an industry that seemed unsure how to categorize her. The daughter of an Italian American father and a mother of Mexican, English and German descent, she has spoken about being repeatedly encouraged to lean into her Latina heritage in ways that felt inauthentic to her. At the same time, she feared the opposite risk: “neutralizing of myself to not offend anybody.” As a child, she endured racist taunts; as an actress, she sometimes lost out on roles because she was deemed not “ethnic enough.” Rather than choosing between labels, Barbaro has embraced the space in between. "I don't belong in either" — as in either side of her parentage — "but I do belong in this mixed territory."

© Kevin Mazur (Getty Images)

The actress describes herself as “a romantic and a workaholic.” “I’ve never given my life over to it, which, as a woman, I’m quite proud of. But there’s also the other side of that coin, which is: You can get to a point in your life where you wake up and you look around and you’re sort of like, Oh, have I been self-protecting by [adopting] so much autonomy and independence? I’m definitely shifting some of that perspective now,” she told 'InStyle.'

© Daniele Venturelli (WireImage)

After graduating from university, with neither steady work nor savings to fall back on, Monica Barbaro moved back across the country to her hometown of San Francisco. There, she spent nearly a decade juggling minor television roles and commercial work, far from the sudden, youthful breakthroughs enjoyed by some rising stars. She had to wait until 2022, when Tom Cruise came calling and changed the course of her career. That same year, her rising profile earned her an invitation to Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party, where she attended wearing a design by Elie Saab.

© Gilbert Flores (WWD via Getty Images)

Monica Barbaro has spoken openly about why she is uncomfortable using her appearance as a selling point on screen or showing more skin than a story genuinely requires. “One of the very first things I did was a project that I lost the job because I wouldn’t be topless in it,” she told the U.S. edition of InStyle. At the time, she was a background performer with a small, non-speaking role and could not see any narrative reason for the nudity. In the end, she was rehired on her own terms, with her shirt buttoned up. “I’ve not gotten naked in anything I’ve done because I haven’t worked on something where that would be a necessity to the story,” she added.

Her style evolution over the past few years has been striking. Her fashion résumé now includes a series of looks that feel both contemporary and effortless, among them the oversized white suit she paired with a Jacquemus handbag when she was photographed strolling through New York last winter.

Last year, Monica Barbaro attended the Met Gala for the first time, further cementing her rising status within the industry. For the occasion, the actress once again turned to Dior, embracing the glamour of the 1950s and the New Look silhouette with the maison’s iconic Bar jacket, leather gloves and a boater hat. She seemed to belong to another era, while proving herself perfectly in tune with the event’s dress code.

© TheStewartofNY (Getty Images)

Although she says her everyday uniform tends to be simple and classic, built around Levi’s jeans, loafers and T-shirts, Monica Barbaro knows how to command the attention of the fashion press when promotional duties call. One of her most recent and most daring looks was this ensemble by designer Sandy Liang, which she wore in New York while promoting 'One Night Only.'

The actress has developed a close relationship with Dior, one of her preferred labels for red carpets and high-profile events. Naturally, she is also a regular guest at the fashion house’s runway shows. For the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2024-25 presentation, she chose this striking white dress, a look that neatly encapsulates her style duality: sensual and romantic in equal measure.

The Elizabeth Holmes Documentary You Can See Everything Is an Act of Radical Empathy

✇Reason.com
By: Peter Suderman
16 October 2026 at 14:49
Elizabeth Holmes in "You Can See Everything" | A24/You Can See Everything

We all know Elizabeth Holmes is a villain. 

She promised a radical new technology—bloodwork performed in a countertop-sized machine from a single droplet taken from your finger. She was young, photogenic, and self-possessed; she dressed like Steve Jobs. Her invention would disrupt the $60 billion bloodwork industry, bringing cheap, frictionless health monitoring to the masses. Or it would have, if it worked. Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors of nearly $500 million; she's currently serving an 11-year prison sentence. Holmes has been written about extensively, and her story was turned into an Emmy-winning Hulu series starring Amanda Seyfried. She is an avatar of Big Tech mendacity, a cautionary tale as much as a person.

Everyone knows the story. You would think there is nothing left to say. But you'd be wrong. 

Just before she entered prison, Holmes invited documentarians Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim to live with her, her boyfriend Billy Evans, and their two young children in their beachfront San Diego rental unit, promising them full access, complete transparency. The result is this year's most entrancing documentary, You Can See Everything. When the camera captures Billy in the shower, the movie delivers on its titular promise; you, uh, really can see everything. 

Yet what you cannot see is who Holmes really is. The mystery of the era's most famous fraudster is the movie's central riddle: Is she cynical, calculating, a stone-cold liar and psychopath? Or is she something stranger—a damaged and delicate person who genuinely believes her lies, or at the very least, genuinely believes the stories she tells herself to justify those lies after the fact?

Fielder and Holmes seem uncertain themselves; the movie is, in part, their own attempt to wrestle with their own ambivalence, their own inability to come to a conclusion. It's a hall of mirrors about the infinite unknowability of a person, even given unfettered access. 

The documentarians do not absolve her of her villainy; the movie is not an attempt to excuse her fraud or build a case for her innocence. But they offer something exceptionally rare in this era of simplistic hero and villain narratives: genuine and deeply felt empathy for someone on whom the culture (not to mention the legal system) has cast final judgment. In the process, they have given us one of the strangest, most unsettling, and most poignant films of the year. You Can See Everything is a small miracle of a movie. 

It's sometimes said that the most compelling villains don't believe themselves to be villains. They have an internally coherent story to tell that excuses their actions, makes them the heroes in their own minds. Fielder and Oppenheim have given Holmes, and viewers, the gift of allowing Holmes a measure of psychological complexity. You don't see into her mind, because that's impossible. But you see that the story she tells herself is different from the story the world tells us about her. It's surprisingly kind and generous; it's also tricky as hell—to the point where you, the viewer, might wonder if you're the one being tricked. 

Halfway through, the movie takes a meta-turn that I won't spoil, entering into high-concept territory in an attempt to more deeply explore what art and images can reveal about a human psyche. It's formally audacious, often funny, and actually justifies the three-hour running time. I've never seen anything quite like it.  

The exercise left me just as unsettled as the documentarians seem to be themselves; uncertain about Holmes and her motives, and nearly as uncertain about Fielder and Oppenheim, two talented filmmakers who appear to be questioning not only the nature of their chosen form, but of reality, especially psychological reality, themselves. There are times when You Can See Everything borders on magical realism, except the magic comes from the complexity of human nature and storytelling, as if Gabriel García Márquez had written a story about a man with a camera that could see into souls. It's dizzying, dazzling, a sort of postmodern Rashomon of perspective shifting.

As I left the theater, in something of a daze, I found myself thinking of a line from the great Saul Bellow novel The Adventures of Augie March, "Nobody should be a mystery intentionally. Unintentionally is mysterious enough." In the case of Holmes, it's impossible to tell which it is. All we can say is this supposedly one-note Big Tech villain, like perhaps everyone, is better understood as some kind of mystery, even to herself.
