Daniel Craig on "Queer" and its depiction of yearning

Dec 8, 2024 | cbsnews.com | Mo Rocca

Daniel Craig is back on the big screen – not as 007, or the smooth Southern private investigator in the "Knives Out" movies, but in the movie "Queer," directed by Luca Guadagnino. Craig plays William Lee, an American living in 1950s Mexico City, who becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton, another much younger expatriate (played by Drew Starkey). In one tender and poignant scene, a translucent image of Lee is seen leaning over towards Allerton. "The sort of invisible hand," Craig described it.
Elvis Duran on the magic of radio and his special bond with listeners

Dec 1, 2024 | cbsnews.com | Mo Rocca

If the annual Jingle Ball at New York's Madison Square Garden is the Super Bowl of holiday concerts, then Elvis Duran is in the role of head coach. From introducing acts like Olivia Rodrigo, to mingling with pop princesses ("Sabrina Carpenter, everyone!"), and interviewing rock royalty like Cher, on this day, this Elvis is king. But he says being interviewed for TV is different for him: "I'm not a camera guy, I'm a radio guy," he said. If you don't recognize his face, you may know his voice.

It's been more than 40 years since Kyra Sedgwick first appeared on TV, on the soap opera "Another World." She recalled her lines from her first scene: "Oh, my God: 'I'm on the road with a rock group, Grandma. It's called The Deep Six'," she laughed. "I was 16 years old, and that's when I fell in love with acting."In the decades since, she's costarred in movies like "Born on the Fourth of July," "Mr. and Mrs.

Eddie Redmayne, Gayle Rankin on the return of "Cabaret" to Broadway In 1966, when the John Kander-Fred Ebb musical "Cabaret" first appeared on Broadway, audiences were dazzled, and disconcerted, by the show's depiction of life in early 1930s Berlin.
Michael Douglas on "Franklin," and his own inspiring third act

Mar 31, 2024 | cbsnews.com | Mo Rocca

Michael Douglas on "Franklin," and playing a founding father It's been a long time since he was a student here, but on the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara, Michael Douglas still knows his way around: "That theater was here when I was here 60 years ago," he said. The campus had been a Marine base during World War II. "It was all filled with, like, barracks."Today, the theater with his name on the lobby is a new addition.
Greta Lee on how the success of "Past Lives" changed her life

Jan 14, 2024 | cbsnews.com | Mo Rocca

Greta Lee on how "Past Lives" changed her life Before 2023 actress Greta Lee had built her career on a wide range of supporting roles – as the rollicking birthday party host Maxine in "Russian Doll"; as the entitled gallerista Soojin in "Girls"; as Stella Bak, a millennial and very fashion-forward boss uncowed by her anchors, in "The Morning Show." But the film role that's vaulted the Los Angeles-born Lee into awards contention has her doing something she didn't expect: acting in Korean. In...

Dec 10, 2023 | cbsnews.com | Mo Rocca

Norman Lear, who died this week at the age of 101, didn't invent the situation comedy. But, more than anyone else, he made sure that it said something important. In 1999 he told "CBS This Morning," "My slide rule is, if I care, you care. If I laugh, you laugh.
