1 month ago | inews.co.uk | Louisa Saunders

Gene Hackman was one of Hollywood’s last great everyman actors. Whether playing tough guy cops, a superhero villain or the eccentric head of a family of New York aristocrats, the star – who died yesterday age 95 – brought a searing grittiness to his roles. He never seemed to care much whether audiences liked him – only that they stopped whatever they were doing and paid attention. In a business defined by glamour, he was the anti-movie star who conquered the box office through sheer force of will.

Writing fiction, if taken seriously, is a compulsion, and many who want to complete a whole novel end up living a lifetime of frustration.
The 10 best art exhibitions of 2024

Dec 28, 2024 | inews.co.uk | Louisa Saunders

You could say that 2024 has been a perfect year for exhibitions. Certainly, it struck the right note between landmark celebrations, such as the National Gallery’s Van Gogh blockbuster, and new discoveries, such as Peggy Guggenheim’s little-known sojourn in the English countryside, or the work of pioneering photojournalist Bert Hardy at The Photographers’ Gallery.
