It's been over twenty-five years since actor/photographer Roddy McDowall died of lung cancer in 1998. McDowall, despite some career challenges, was one of that breed of rare former child actors who successfully transitioned into Hollywood adulthood. He was also, however, one of the industry's "openly closeted" actors, which came with its own sense of issues. This is his story.

NEW YORK, NY.- “Sweet and sour?” Patti LuPone suggested, as if considering options on a menu. She looked questioningly at Mia Farrow, who was sitting next to her in a small atelier in a midtown Manhattan hotel. We were in the heat-soaked throes of early August, and the women had just arrived, depleted, from what they described as an “airless” rehearsal room nearby.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

In 1981, pop-music sensation Andy Gibb was at the top of the charts. The younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, a.k.a. The Bee Gees, commenced a tumultuous romance with actress Victoria Principle, who played Pam Ewing on Dallas, TV's then-Number 1 prime-time series. But after the relationship ended, Andy's life, already challenged by substance abuse, did as well. This is their tragic story.

SEOUL.- Thaddaeus Ropac announced international representation of Korean painter and sculptor Lee Kang-So (b.1943, Daegu). Recognised as one of Korea’s foremost contemporary artists, since the 1970s he has worked across photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance, profoundly shaping the evolution of Korean contemporary art. From the early decades of his career, he formulated an experimental practice that developed alongside the legacies of other avant-garde movements, including Mono-ha in Japan, Korean Experimental Art, Minimalism in the United States and Arte Povera in Italy.

NEW YORK, NY.- For nearly 20 years, Franklin Leonard has made it his mission to help undiscovered writers find an audience. In 2005, he started the Black List — an annual survey of Hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays. Over the years, the Black List evolved to include a website that has hosted tens of thousands of scripts, TV pilots and plays, and became an indispensable tool for studios and producers. More than 400 screenplays that landed on the Black List’s annual survey have been produced, including acclaimed films such as “Spotlight,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The King’s Speech.”

The Black List helped reshape Hollywood. Can it change publishing?

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny six-pound dog named Alistair who is looking for his forever home. At only one year old, this little boy is a sweet dog who is thought to be a Maltese, "but we can’t make any guarantees that he would be suitable for those with allergies," explains the nonprofit animal rescue.

Ingrid Luche, Beauty Mask, 2024. Glazed stoneware, nail polish, glitter, 22,5 x 23 x 3,5 cm. Unique © photo DR, courtesy Air de Paris, Romainville | Grand Paris. PARIS.- The mask is the ultimate anti-object. Semiologists would use the term deictic to describe it — the gesture of a finger pointing over there, somewhere else. Whether it belongs to a Greek tragedy performer, to a member of the Anonymous collective, to an immunocompromised citizen or to a Snapchat user, the mask designates something else than itself, and in so doing it also distinguishes iconophiles from iconoclasts. So, there are two options: will you believe what is represented on its illusionist surface, or will you try to take a peek behind the scenes, even if that means being at risk of succumbing to paranoia? Heads or tails, image or object: perhaps the impasse is due to wanting to stick too closely to the lost origin, to mourning some naked face.
