Most famous actors at some point must think of their legacy—what they’ll leave behind on the screen and how it will be seen. For Colin Farrell, it comes down to a short but diverse list.
In a new interview alongside Emma Thompson–who also co-starred in 2013’s Saving Mr. Banks but didn’t have any scenes together–Colin Farrell discussed what his legacy as an actor was.
One key film that Colin Farrell highlighted was Saving Mr. Banks, in which he had a supporting role as Travers Goff, the father of P.L. Travers (played as an adult by Emma Thompson), author of the Mary Poppins books. “Banks would certainly be in there because I’ve spoken to people, I don’t put this veil on it myself, but I’ve spoken to people that said that they experienced an amount of healing, watching Saving Mr. Banks.” There has...

Edward Norton learned that the real-life Pocahontas, the daughter of a 17th century Native American chief, is his 12th great-grandmother.
The revelation came about on Tuesday’s episode of “Finding Your Roots,” the PBS genealogical history show.
According to CNN, historian and host Henry Louis Gates Jr. addressed the family rumor, confirming the family connection to the historical figure who supposedly saved Captain John Smith from execution after welcoming English settlers to the United States in the 17th century.
“You have a direct paper trail, no doubt about it, connection to your 12th great-grandmother and great-grandfather, John Rolfe and Pocahontas,” Gates Jr. told Norton.
Gates cited the documents as showing Pocahontas died three years after marrying Rolfe on April 5, 1614 in Jamestown, Virginia during the life of William Shakespeare. Rolfe died around March 1622.
“It just makes you realize what a small … piece of the whole human story you are,” Norton said after hearing the news.
