The civil lawsuit against actor Kevin Spacey is expected to be dismissed after attorneys for the accuser on Thursday said he refused to identify himself. A federal judge ruled last week that the man – identified in court documents as C.D. – must reveal his identity publicly. Judge Lewis A.

“There are so many people along my path who have been instrumental, but one in particular, who we got to watch up on that screen tonight. And I haven’t watched that scene, with Jack Lemmon, in Glengarry Glen Ross, in a very, very long time. And by the time we did that film, we’d had this kind of remarkable journey, in which I had met him when I was in a workshop for young actors in a drama class when I was 13 years old. And after I did a scene from a play, that man, who was an idol of
A photo posted by actress Beatrice Dalle generated a great deal of chatter on social networks this weekend. The photo shared by the actress (but later deleted) portrayed Dalle with colleagues from the cast of “L’Amour c’est Mieux que la Vie” together with Kevin Spacey in the cemetery of Montmartre, where they were shooting the last film of Claude Lelouche.

For Bobby Darin, performing was his life. It kept his heart beating. He came alive onstage, even when he was near collapse offstage.
