A new Vanity Fair profile on Sebastian Stan chronicles the actor’s pretty remarkable journey to becoming an Academy Award-nominated performer.

Arthur Penn and Gene Hackman mellowed with age together

Gene Hackman was everywhere.

He was a workhorse, sometimes close to literally.

That lawless age of the early Internet when kids could get away with anything because their parents had no idea how to use, let alone monitor, the technology is truly over. On Monday, Instagram announced it would begin testing its AI in the United States to “proactively find accounts we suspect belong to teens, even if the account lists an adult birthday, and place them in Teen Account settings,” per a company blog post.
