Leslye Headland has been telling “Star Wars” stories onscreen since she was a teenager. Ostracized at school for being different, she retreated inward, making stop-motion films starring her action figures. So when she found success as an adult in Hollywood — Headland helped create “Russian Doll,” the 2019 Netflix comedy starring Natasha Lyonne — and got the chance to create an actual “Star Wars” show, it was the realization of a lifelong dream. “I essentially cold-called Lucasfilm and, after a lot of conversations, found myself pitching a show — utterly elated, my ultimate career goal, the culmination of my fandom,” Headland said. I had never done anything this big before.”Headland’s show, “The Acolyte,” will debut on Disney+ on June 4.

Bankman-Fried’s lawyers had advised him not to speak to the press, but he called in to the DealBook Summit from the Bahamas anyway, and delivered his first interview since news of the scandal broke almost a month earlier.
