La actriz Glenn Close (Greenwich, 79 años) ha grabado un vídeo para sus fans tras los comentarios de preocupación que recibió el pasado 15 de octubre, cuando posó con un bastón en la premiere de La Bola Negra en Nueva York. 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.

Erik von Detten se convirtió en uno de los actores favoritos de las adolescentes en el año 2000 tras interpretar al galán de melena rubia de la película Princesa por sorpresa (2001) que engañaba al personaje interpretado por Anne Hathaway. Este mes ha sido demandado por engañar, esta vez en la vida real, a un matrimonio de ancianos. La pareja formada por Sheila Greenberg y Norman Greenberg, de 85 y 97 años respectivamente y residentes de San Diego (California), alega que el actor de 44 años los convenció para invertir más de dos millones de dólares (1,7 millones de euros) en monedas de oro a través de tres compras realizadas entre 2020 y 2021 a un precio muy superior al del mercado. En su denuncia, a la que han tenido acceso medios estadounidenses como Variety y People, alegan haber sido víctimas de una estafa en la que han perdido en total 900.000 dólares (800.000 euros).

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 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.

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.

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.

¿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.

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.

American audiences will be able to watch an English-dubbed version of “Ramayana,” a Hindi film based on a South Asian epic tradition, in theaters in November 2026. The Sanskrit “Ramayana,” or “Journey of Rama,” is an epic poem that was composed sometime between 400 BCE and 400 CE. The epic follows Rama, an exiled prince […]

“This is a very disturb¬ ing movie, made by some pretty disturbed people.” That was how Chris Carlo, owner of one of the first theaters to screen Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer in 1990, described John McNaughton’s feature debut. Made four years earlier, the film had become a cult classic before it ever reached a movie theater. Carlo programmed it for midnight screenings where audience members often walked out, unable to endure its violence.

Although they lost almost all their savings in Bernie Madoff’s multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, the marriage of Kevin Bacon, 68, and Kyra Sedgwick, 61, who have been together for 38 years, survived with their New York apartment and their farm in Connecticut intact. It was there that the pandemic lockdown found them, and there that they hatched a film together, with the help of their two children, who came from the West Coast: Travis, a composer drafted into acting by the demands of the script, and Sosie, who has already established herself as a film and television actress.

Em uma carta conjunta divulgada neste sábado (10) pela revista Variety, 58 membros brasileiros da Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas, responsável pelo Oscar, entre eles o ator Wagner Moura, os cineastas Kleber Mendonça Filho, Fernando Meirelles e o produtor Rodrigo Teixeira, se dizem preocupados com os possíveis desdobramentos do segundo turno das eleições presidenciais no Brasil.

O texto cita propostas de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) de reescrever a Constituição, o desmonte da cultura sob o governo de seu pai, Jair Bolsonaro, que foi condenado por tentativa de golpe de Estado. Aborda ainda o caso, revelado pela Folha, da criptomoeda B22, que oferecia tokens a quem divulgasse conteúdos que incentivassem o voto em Flávio e dizia destinar parte dos recursos a crianças de Uganda.

Artistas temem retrocessos na cultura

“Sob a administração anterior, a indústria audiovisual brasileira sofreu com o fechamento do Ministério da Cultura, a suspensão do Fundo do Setor Audiovisual, o enfraquecimento das instituições culturais e as acusações de censura. Tememos um retorno a esse cenário”, diz o texto. “Proteger a liberdade de expressão e garantir a sustentabilidade a longo prazo da indústria audiovisual brasileira são inseparáveis da defesa da democracia.”

Menciona ainda os planos do governo de Donald Trump de enviar US$ 1 milhão para financiar grupos contrários ao STF, noticiados pelo The Guardian, sob a acusação de que a corte extrapola as atribuições judiciais e impõe censura no Brasil.

Carta pede atenção internacional às eleições

A carta, assinada também por nomes como Alice Braga, Anna Muylaert, Daniel Filho, Lais Bodanzky, Lucy Barreto, Sônia Braga e outros, pede maior atenção internacional ao pleito no país.

“Consideramos os acontecimentos no Brasil como parte de um padrão mais amplo de suposta interferência eleitoral em toda a América Latina. A defesa da democracia brasileira deve, portanto, depender não apenas do povo brasileiro, por meio de eleições livres, justas e transparentes, mas também da vigilância e do engajamento da comunidade internacional.”
