Thu 26 June 2025 18:15, UK Cary Grant was one of the greatest comedic actors of his generation, mastering the art of screwball comedy better than any of his male peers. It was a genre built around female actors, and Grant understood the assignment. When paired with Katharine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, or Irene Dunne, he knew when to take a backseat and when to set them up for the perfect punchline. His performances often came across as low-key.

Thu 26 June 2025 16:45, UK There are plenty of reasons why an actor might be jealous of Tom Hanks. His popularity is a big one.Actors are nothing if not seekers of adoration. He’s also won a couple of Oscars, which is perhaps the most coveted prize a thespian could dream of. Then there’s his longevity. Having gotten his start in the 1980s, Hanks has been a consistent and beloved presence on screen ever since.

Thu 26 June 2025 12:30, UK Maybe Alfred Hitchcock was born into the wrong generation. Preoccupied with sex (and particularly its denial), he was working at a time when censorship made the topic all but taboo. He found ways around this inconvenience, breaking the three-second kissing rule by having his actors intermittently smooch for three whole minutes and cueing some very orgasmic fireworks the moment Cary Grant and Grace Kelly passionately embrace in To Catch a Thief.

Wed 25 June 2025 13:32, UK Reality TV is full of hucksters and fame-seekers, but Anthony Bourdain was different. Part Hunter S Thompson and part Mr Rogers, he was willing to go to the most rugged, far-flung places but never let the adventure get in the way of human connection. After his career as a chef, working in the lowest and highest-brow establishments, he started publishing essays and books about the hardscrabble reality of working in restaurant kitchens.

Wed 25 June 2025 5:00, UK In 1916, American women couldn’t vote, own property without their husbands’ consent, or serve on juries. But in Hollywood, one woman held an unprecedented amount of power. Mary Pickford was the first movie star, and, more than a century later, is still one of the most powerful figures – male or female – in film history. She broke into movies after a fledgling career on Broadway, catching the attention of pioneering filmmaker DW Griffith after a brief screen test in 1909.
