Read previewGwyneth Paltrow has jokingly cursed out former President Bill Clinton for falling asleep during a showing of her 1996 film "Emma." Appearing on the First We Feast's viral YouTube interview series "Hot Ones," Paltrow was asked by host Sean Evans about the rumor that Clinton "passed out asleep" during a White House screening of the Jane Austen adaptation. Despite Clinton's response to the film, "Emma" received generally positive reviews from critics and was nominated for two Academy Awards, one for costume design and another for original score. Paltrow's role in "Emma" came two years before Paltrow's Oscar-winning performance in another period piece, "Shakespeare in Love."

There were such strong associations between Corbett and the role that he struggled to be seen in any other way. His work on “Sex and the City” and in the “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” movies, the first of which was released in 2002, affirmed and limited his type: the nice boyfriend. “He is a very fun rapscallion who likes to have a good time,” said Nia Vardalos, the writer and star of the “Greek Wedding” films, which seemed to refer equally to actor and role. “I’m still living the same life.”In “Sex and the City,” that life, for all of Corbett’s warmth, had its darkness. (For Corbett, the line gets blurry here, too: “I get upset.

To many people on the internet, the actress Toni Collette is known simply as “mother.”Ms. Collette has played more than her share of mothers throughout her career: a matriarch with dissociative identity disorder on the TV show “United States of Tara”; a miniatures artist whose family is haunted after the death of her own mother in the film “Hereditary”; and, more recently, an American mom charged with taking over her Italian family’s mob business in the movie “Mafia Mamma.”But Ms. Collette is not necessarily called mother for playing fictional ones, or even for being a mother in real life. Instead, fans have bestowed the title as a way to express their appreciation. When fans call her mother, which they often do, “it feels like a well-intended, collective, familial, warm hug,” Ms. Collette said in an email. She is just one of the many female celebrities who, if lacking a proper understanding of the word’s new use, might wonder why they suddenly have so many children.
CNN —Toni Collette and husband Dave Galafassi are divorcing after 20 years of marriage.

Colette concluded with, “We’re thankful for the space and love you grant us as we evolve and move through this transition peacefully.

There are no guarantees for a screen actor anymore. There are no guarantees for a screen actor’s audience. Perhaps that’s why we’ve turned, along with many an actor, to television, where the ground feels more fertile. There is enough outstanding work on television alone to fill a portfolio twice or three times the size of this one. We want to applaud, marvel at and salute the achievement of screen acting, the increasing miracle of it in challenging and confusing circumstances.
