Filmmakers and executives, creatives of music, theater and art remembered Tom Luddy as friend and mentor, tastemaker and cultural force who deployed an astonishingly vast network to nurture talent and bring people and projects together over decades.
The co-founder of the Telluride Film Festival passed away in February.
“I am thinking of getting a tattoo of you on my arm,” said Irish director Mark Cousins at tribute event at the Paris Theatre over the weekend. “Here is Hitchcock on my arm, and here is and Kira Muratova. Maybe you would fit between the two?” He added, “For the rest of my life, I will see partly through your eyes. I miss you and I love you.”
“Tom Luddy was a constant presence. The sun around which so many of us have revolved,” said Ken Burns. The two met when Burns screened Huey Long at Telluride in 1985. “For the next 35-plus years,...

Peter O'Toole's acting career spanned seven decades and involved hundreds of roles, a million sardonic smirks, and no small amount of liquor. On screen, O'Toole could be heroic, villainous, affable, and off-putting, sometimes all at once. In interviews, O'Toole was frank and unguarded, quick with a jibe, and unwilling to suffer fools. O'Toole and his frequent collaborator, the actor Richard Harris, have both appeared on many talk shows toward the ends of their lives to tell many, many stories of getting drunk together.
Somewhere along the way, O'Toole garnered enough fame and clout to more or less select any project he wanted. By the time he starred in Peter Medak's "The Ruling Class" in 1972, O'Toole had already appeared in 18 feature films, including a James Bond movie. That same year, O'Toole would appear in "Under Milk Wood" and a film adaptation of "Man of La Mancha." One might say...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains details about the Supergirl two-parter series finale.
It’s all or nothing for Melissa Benoist’s Kara Danvers and her Super Friends in the final hours of the CW’s Supergirl.
Kicking off with “The Last Gauntlet,” Supergirl picks up right were the previous installment left off – with Esme (Mila Jones) in Lex (Jon Cryer) and Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) possession. A hostage in hand, the criminals-turned-lovers propose that Kara, Alex (Chyler Leigh) and the rest of the gang trade in their totems for the kid. Of course, this is before Lex and Nyxly realize that the Love totem, absorbed by Esme in the previous episode, is already looking for a new host.
J’onn (David Harewood), Kara, Alex and Kelly (Azie Tesfai) reflect on how they’ve put their loved ones in danger – grieving the recent death of William Dey (Staz Nair). They’re all...

CBS has released the first official description and image for the upcoming sixth episode of Supergirl. This one is set to air on the same day as Gotham‘s midseason finale, which may just prove to be pretty tough competition in the ratings.
However, Supergirl has so far forged a really strong identity of its own, and while there are a few kinks which definitely need to be worked out over the coming weeks and months, it’s so far proving to be a great addition to Warner Bros.’ slate of DC Comics projects on the small screen (it feels so close to Arrow and The Flash that it’s hard not get mad that The CW decided against picking it up).
Here’s the description of the episode – titled “Red Faced” – which is set to put Supergirl against Red Tornado:

From vegetarian athletes and grey panthers to the truth about Asma Assad

Why the amazement that British cycling medal winner Lizzie Armitstead is vegetarian? Saying no to meat never did Carl Lewis any harm – he turned vegan shortly before breaking the 100m record in 1991.

A survey of older people suggests that they would rather be called "grey panthers" than OAPs. What's happened? Are they suddenly all channeling Alan Partridge? Grrr.

Business leaders are calling for interest rates to be cut to zero. Negative rates could be next ... although paying the banks to look after our savings might be a hard sell.

In case you hadn't heard, Us Vogue ran a glamorized profile on Syrian First Lady Asma Assad back in March of 2011, just before the uprising began, called "A Rose in the Desert." With her flowery language and general verbosity, you'd think writer (and former Vogue Paris Eic) Joan Juliet Buck was assigned a fluff piece. It wasn't until after the article ran that Vogue realized they made a grave mistake. Even then, Buck granted NPR an interview just months ago where she assured us that she regretted the positive light she handed to them.
I don't think I should have gone near the Assads. I think that Vogue is always on the lookout for good-looking first ladies because they're a combination of power and beauty and elegance. That's what Vogue is about. And here was this woman who had never given an interview, who was extremely thin and very well-dressed and therefore,...

HollywoodNews.com: Jane Fonda‘s biographer, Patricia Bosworth, was saluted last night by Broadway producer Judy Gordon on the Upper East Side. Patti’s book, “Jane Fonda: The Public Life of a Private Woman,” is a New York Times bestseller, the latest of Bosworth’s many terrific tomes (do read her much acclaimed bios of Montgomery Clift, Diane Arbus, and of her own father, the lawyer for the Hollywood Ten).
Gordon’s A list guests included famed actor Michael Murphy, Kathryn Altman (widow of famed director Robert Altman), author Stephen Schlesinger and his legendary mom Alexandra, former French Vogue editor Joan Juliet Buck, Olympic champ and sports analyst Dick Button, writer David Black, famed director (and yes, the father) Robert Downey Sr., legendary Broadway and “Saturday Night Live” choreographer Pat Birch, producer Dennis Grimaldi, and writer-producer Maria Cooper Janis (who also happens to be the lovely daughter of Gary Cooper).

An A list crowd came to the Time Warner Center screening room last night to watch the film, called “His Way,” based on Weintraub’s memoir. And just like the Bushes are so friendly with Bill Clinton, they also have a connection to Weintraub through his wife, singer Jane Morgan.
Like the witnesses in “Reds,” the Bushes give a hilarious on camera testimonial to Weintraub that has to be seen the film airs this coming week. (Barbara Bush has impeccable coming timing.) They rattle off a list of celebrities to whom the gregarious Weintraub has introduced them over the years. Barbara pauses, then remembers, suddenly: “John Travolta!” Her eyes light up.

Residents in the radiation danger zone, instructed to stay inside their homes, are venturing out in search of food and fuel. A Japanese businessman in the country's northeast tells Joan Juliet Buck how government incompetence is killing people who escaped the earthquake.
Writer, cultural critic, and actor Joan Juliet Buck wrote to a foreign-born Japanese friend in the food business to ask him how we in America could help Japan. Below is his answer. Tellingly, he does not want to be identified: He has sent his wife, his mother, and his three boys out of the country, and wants to keep his anonymity because the nationalist feeling in Japan is that anyone who leaves the country or sends their family away is betraying Japan.

I wish she would stop telling people she’s 50, but she’s proud of it. Some people just grow into an age. If you saw her Oscar nominated performance in “Pieces of April” or her award winning work in “The Station Agent” or her hilarious, triumphant turn in Woody Allen’s “Whatever Works” you know age doesn’t matter.
And it runs in the family: her mom, Jackie Clarkson, was just re-elected to the New Orleans City Council for the 5th time since 2000. She’s been a popular Louisiana lawmaker for 20 years.

PALM SPRINGS -- You needn't be an aficionado of photography, erotica, sadomasochism or First Amendment law to know of Robert Mapplethorpe. But Sam Wagstaff, who as Mapplethorpe's patron and lover helped inform his sensibility, is hardly a household name despite his lasting influence as a collector and curator. With his first film, James Crump aims to restore Wagstaff to his place in art history. Black White + Gray -- which takes its title from a groundbreaking 1964 Minimalism exhibition that Wagstaff organized -- gathers a wealth of talking-head reminiscences and photographic exhibits. The brief (72-minute) docu is sometimes cursory, sometimes repetitive, but it's a creditable introduction to a fascinating life.
A key witness is Patti Smith, whose connection to Mapplethorpe is well documented. She relays his excitement upon meeting the hyperintelligent, handsome Wagstaff, scion of a New York society family and 25 years his senior. Smith recalls the thrift-shop outings that netted shopping bags full of postcards, snapshots, medical photos and gay erotica -- the beginnings of Wagstaff's world-class photography collection and the inspiration for Mapplethorpe's often controversial work. Wagstaff's collection also formed the core of the Getty's photo holdings when the museum purchased it in 1984.
Before that decade's end, he and Mapplethorpe would both be dead of AIDS. How their relationship changed over the years isn't clear in the film, but there's no question that Wagstaff introduced his protege to the high-stakes world of glamour and money. Some saw them as perfect complements; some saw a master manipulator in Mapplethorpe. The film tends to overstate the divide between boarding-school breeding and downtown debauchery, especially within the heady art and music scene of 1970s Manhattan. As narrator Joan Juliet Buck intones in the slightly scandalized tones of Upper East Side refinement, the supposed Culture Clash found a meeting place at drug parties in Wagstaff's Greenwich Village high-rise apartment.
In clips from the indispensable Dick Cavett Show, Wagstaff is debonair, articulate, charming. It's easy to see why Smith's affection and respect for him are undimmed. Undimmed as well is the esoterica he lovingly amassed, which helped to elevate photography's standing as an art and which still delivers a vivifying jolt.
