The line between Jeff Goldblum and the characters he plays is always a little fuzzy. That's the case with Ian Malcolm in "Jurassic Park" and with the Grandmaster in "Thor: Ragnarok." There's this playful deviousness and, I will say, a lot of purring that seems both a part of the character and Goldblum himself is poking through the performance. And the same is true for his most recent role, Zeus in the Netflix series "Kaos." Goldblum says the show brings the gods down to Earth and makes them feel flawed and uncertain, just like us. Jeff Goldblum recently joined Rachel Martin for NPR's Wild Card, the show where guests choose the questions they answer at random from a deck of cards. Here's Rachel.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s “devastated” family broke their silence Friday after the bodies of the  entrepreneur and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, were pulled from the wreckage of the sunken Bayesian superyacht.

“Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy. They would like to sincerely thank the Italian coast guard, emergency services and all those who helped in the rescue.”

The Bayesian, which capsized with 22 people on board had “an unusually large mast” for a single-masted ship, Painter told Daily Mail. 



“The mast was the ultimate sailor’s bragging right,” Painter told the outlet. “That mast must’ve been...

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.
