There's something about Darci Lynne's effortless singing talent that always amazes us — and we're sure fans feel the same. Sometimes, the best vocal performances are understated and simple. Lynne frequently performs covers in mundane places — by a window, in a stairwell, basically anywhere except in a fancy recording studio — and it pays off. Back in May, Lynne shared an unbelievable performance of the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine," and fans are still reeling nearly a month later.

DALLAS, TX.- George Chakiris’ initial turn in the spotlight lasted only a few seconds, if you could even find the 15-year-old. He made his big-screen debut in 1947, credited only as “Choir Boy” in Song of Love, a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production starring Katharine Hepburn as 19th-century German pianist and composer Clara Schumann. So it went for nearly a decade: a long list of blink-and-you-miss-it moments in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire alongside Marilyn Monroe, Brigadoon, White Christmas – usually as a dancer or chorus boy, constantly in the background, almost always uncredited. There’s no business like show business. (He was in that movie, too, somewhere.)

As the head of an animation studio in Saudi Arabia, he signed a five-year deal with Netflix in 2020. A sardonic cartoon franchise that he helped create, “Masameer,” likened to a Saudi version of “South Park,” was soon streaming to audiences around the world. And as the conservative Islamic kingdom loosened up, Almuzaini was being publicly celebrated — as recently as a few months ago — as one of the homegrown talents shaping its nascent entertainment industry.
