Gail O’Neill, the fashion model who worked with brands like Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren, and also served as a TV correspondent for CBS, CNN and HGTV, has died. She was 61.
The model was in her Atlanta home when she died on Oct. 10, her former Click Model agent Stephanie Grill told The Hollywood Reporter. Her cause of death was not immediately known.
O’Neill was discovered by photographer Chuck Baker and his stylist wife Martha, who approached her at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York in 1985. She was doing marketing for Xerox at the time, and by the following year, she was on the cover of British Vogue.
It didn’t take very long for her career to take off after that. She landed modeling gigs with famous photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Gilles Bensimon, Steven Meisel, Albert Watson, Fabrizio Ferri, Alex Chatelain and Patrick Demarchelier.

Ansel Elgort has resurfaced in public for the first time in more than a year with two very special guests, his parents. On Thursday, Sept. 9, the 27-year-old Baby Driver actor was spotted sitting front row at the Daily Front Row's 8th annual Fashion Media Awards next to his mom, stage director Grethe Barrett Holby, and his dad, Arthur Elgort. The longtime fashion photographer, who worked with Vogue for over 30 years, was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the New York Fashion Week event. Thursday also marked Ansel's first public appearance since a woman accused him of sexual assault in 2014 when she was 17. In a June 2020 statement, Elgort denied the...

Ansel Elgort has shown the new face — and body — of celebrity charity work. The star of “Baby Driver” and the upcoming “West Side Story” remake on Tuesday posted a nude photo of himself to raise money for a meal program for Brooklyn hospital workers in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
The barely-safe-for-work Instagram photo, which shows Elgort in an outdoor shower barely covering his privates, was even taken by his father, acclaimed photographer Arthur Elgort. (He later deleted the photo from his account.)
The actor linked to a GoFundMe page for Brooklyn for Life!, organized by actor Jeffrey Wright.

Despite starring on one of the most highly anticipated series finales of all time, Sophie Turner still hasn't actually seen the ending of Game of Thrones. The actress, who got her big break portraying Sansa Stark on the HBO series, recently addressed the show's polarizing ending in an interview for the April 2020 issue of Elle.
"You can't make every fan happy."
"I haven't watched it," Turner candidly told the magazine. "I started watching when the last season started, and I was planning to watch the rest. But then I fell behind. And then I started reading all these comments online . . . " Though she's expressed feeling pleased with how Sansa's story wrapped up, Turner said some outcry is to be expected: "I feel like you are never going to have everybody be satisfied with the ending. Especially a show that's been going on for almost 10 years at that point.

Is Ansel Elgort for real or is he trolling us all? Since he rose to fame in the 2014 tear-inducing hit The Fault in Our Stars, Ansel has become one of the most in-demand actors of his generation...and also one of the most enigmatic, despite being so open and available since viewers fell in love with him as Augustus Waters. At 25, Ansel, the son of famed photographer Arthur Elgort, straddles the line between millennial and Gen-z, with his social media and public personas encapsulating that fine line. His posts are simultaneously self-aware and obtuse. He's the face of Ralph Lauren's new fragrance and has a side-hustle as a DJ (Ansolo...like Han Solo). He bleaches his hair platinum just...

When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way — and now we know who’ll play Tony in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. Baby Driver star Ansel Elgort has danced into the role originated by Larry Kert on Broadway and played by Richard Beymer in the Oscar-winning 1961 movie.
Inspired by William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story explores forbidden love and the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Filming is set to begin in summer 2019.
Tony Kushner wrote the adaptation of the 1957 musical originally written by Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim with music by Leonard Bernstein, and concept, direction, and choreography by Jerome Robbins. Spielberg, Kevin McCollum and Kristie Macosko Krieger will produce the film musical.

Sure, relationships evolve. But not everything has to change. Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber are still one smokin' hot couple after 17 years together, as we're reminded by the throwback pic Crawford shared today of she and her club mogul hubby when they were just starting out. Meaning, that pic could almost have been taken yesterday. "17 years ago we decided to jump into life together. Happy anniversary, babe. I love you," the model, also giving a shout-out to fashion photographer Arthur Elgort, captioned the nearly two-decade-old pic of her bikini-clad self jumping into a pool with a shirtless Gerber.

Ansel Elgort appears in the March issue of Elle Magazine, and he's getting real about sex, boobs, and losing his virginity. Like, really real. It's clear Ansel's been living it up in the wake of his explosive year, which ended with a cover shot on GQ Magazine. Just last month, he looked like he was having the time of his life at a NY Knicks game, and he also popped up at Taylor Swift's birthday party. But right now, it's all about sex. Keep reading for the most intriguing quotes from his latest interview. On his first time: "I was 14. I had no clue what I was doing, and neither did the girl. . . . I didn't even make the lighting good. That'd be one thing I'd do differently. It was, like, fluorescent, bright bedroom light, like, over the covers."

Ansel Elgort's successful and grounded! The sexy "Divergent" star covers the new issue of Town & Country's "Top 50 Bachelors," where he opens up about his start in Hollywood. Photographed by his father, Arthur Elgort, the new issue examines the 20-year-old's rapid success in showbiz. During his audition for "Carrie," Elgort tried to plant a kiss on Gabriella Wilde, who played his on-screen girlfriend in the horror flick. "You don't typically kiss in an audition. I don't know why he did it. Either he really felt it and wanted to kiss her, or he felt entitled to, or he didn't know you don't normally do that," director Kimberly Peirce tells the mag, referencing her casting decision. The "Carrie" director also says that Ansel reminded her a lot of Channing Tatum during their first encounter. "It's hard to find someone who is handsome who you genuinely feel is a good guy," she explains.

At just 20 years old, Ansel Elgort has seen and done more than most people three times his age, and he’s sharing snapshots of his amazing life in a new piece in Vogue magazine.
Over the course of his life, the “Fault in Our Stars” stud tagged along with his famous photographer father Arthur Elgort and ended up in many iconic Vogue photoshoots.
And though he’s always keeping his fans up-to-date on his life via social media, Ansel doesn’t see the harm in it.
He explained, “Kate Winslet kept telling me [on the set of Insurgent], you know, you should stop doing the social media, disengage from it, it’s too much. And I was like, why? It works. The thing is, it’s not that hard. I don’t give that much of myself away.”

Perhaps the people who run studios thought Divergent was the big Ya novel to launch Shailene Woodley into the stratosphere, but her performance in the cancer weepie The Fault in Our Stars might be the role that makes her a giant star.
Based on John Green’s 2012 best-seller, director Josh Boone’s movie tells the story of a cynical 16-year-old cancer patient (Woodley), saddled with an oxygen tank and breathing tube, and the more-dynamic, free-spirited remission patient (Ansel Elgort) who falls in love with her. “A generation of teens like [Woodley's character] have been weaned on Ya novels, leading to more discerning palates,...
