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.

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.

Matthias Stomer, The supper at Emmaus. Circa 1640. Oil on canvas. 126 × 229 cm. CHF 300 000 / 500 000. ZURICH.- A dramatic masterpiece by Matthias Stomer depicting the Supper at Emmaus is one of the numerous important works to be offered on 20 September. Stomer, one of the most important Dutch painters active in Italy in the first half of the 17th century, was an early follower of Caravaggio, and the master’s influence is clearly visible in the chiaroscuro and powerful lighting employed in this work. In a private Swiss collection since the early 1990s, it will now be offered for CHF 300 000 / 500 000 (lot 3020). Clara Peeters was a pioneer of the hunting still life and one of the most influential female artists of her time. Her still life with a peregrine falcon and its prey is witness to the popularity that falconry enjoyed among the nobility in the early 17th century, and a magnificent example of Peeter’s work (lot 3027, CHF 300 000 / 500 000).

Aurora, CO

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
