Paul Newman was, quite simply, one of the best looking men to have ever walked the Earth. Born in 1925, he would have been 99 today.
In addition to his Oscar-winning role in The Color of Money, his other classic films included Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Hustler, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Sweet Bird of Youth and Cool Hand Luke among many others.
Newman’s last movie appearance was as a conflicted mob boss in the 2002 film Road to Perdition opposite Tom Hanks, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
His last appearance overall was in 2005 in the HBO mini-series Empire Falls for which he won a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy.
At the time of his death in 2008, he had been married to Joanne Woodward for 50 years.

Today is the 67th birthday of Black-ish star Jenifer Lewis who sings one helluva number.
She’s been turning in powerful performances on stage, on screen and on television for decades and she’s been a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ community forever. Some of my favorite memories of events including AIDS Walk LA have been when Jenifer belts out You’ll Never Walk Alone. No one – no one – sings that song the way she does. I can’t find it on YouTube!
But I did find some other songs including I Know Where I’ve Been from the hit musical Hairspray and the Donna Summer classic Last Dance.
Happy birthday to the self-proclaimed “Mother of Black Hollywood.”

Dreamy Michael Ontkean turns 78 today and that is a perfect excuse to celebrate a guy who I always had a huge crush on.
Except for a cameo in the George Clooney film The Descendents, Ontkean hasn’t been seen in a any new movies or TV shows in several years. But the actor we know best from Twin Peaks, The Rookies and the film Making Love certainly made a lasting impression on us.
A Canadian, Ontkean was such a good hockey player growing up and at the University of Vermont that he was offered a contract to play professionally with the New York Rangers.
But the child of well-known Canadian performers Leonard and Muriel Ontkean loved acting more and headed to Hollywood in 1970. He soon landed a series of TV guest spots (including The Partridge Family!) and became a star when he was cast in The Rookies. He left the hit show after just two seasons and spent a few years writing poetry before returning to acting in 1977 with the hit Paul Newman film Slap Shot which united his two loves: acting and hockey.
He went on appearing in various films such as Voices (1979 with Amy Irving), Willie and Phil (1980) and Summer (1981 with Brooke Adams) and in 1982 reunited with Rookies co-star Kate Jackson in the film Making Love in which they played a married couple coping with the fact that Ontkean had fallen in love with another man played by Harry Hamlin.
Hamlin still talks about how this film killed his movie career while Ontkean has never made a similar claim. He went on to appear in such films as Made to Order and The Allnighter then landed another of his best-known roles: Sheriff Harry Truman in the 1990 TV series Twin Peaks.
Many other roles followed, my favorite of which was the 1994 miniseries Family Album opposite Jaclyn Smith.

Jodie Foster, already a two-time Oscar winner, earned her fifth Academy Award nomination earlier today for her fabulous performance in the film Nyad. I’m especially thrilled because I think she was absolutely robbed of a nod a few years ago for The Mauritanian – a performance that had won her the Golden Globe Award that year. Jodie has won for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs and was nominated as a teenager for Taxi Driver then in the 1990s for Nell.
Jodie is red-hot again with Nyad and a starring role in the latest season of the anthology series True Detective. She is handling all of the current attention with such grace and calm and it is is lovely to see.
In her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show this week, she dished on playing a jerk detective that “nobody likes” in True Detective: Night Country and reflected on her pull to tell stories of isolating characters throughout her career. Jodie also goes down memory lane and hands out superlatives for some of her most iconic roles, including the character that is the most and least like her, the most quoted line she hears from fans, and the movie she rewatches the most.
Chita Rivera, the forever young Broadway legend, turns 91 today!
One of my all-time favorite showbiz memories was interviewing Miss Rivera as Dick Van Dyke was standing next to her during a West Coast Tony Awards viewing event where she was being honored. She was so down-to-Earth and fun!
The original star of such Broadway shows as West Side Story, Chicago, Bye Bye Birdie, Nine, Jerry’s Girls, The Rink, Bring Back Birdie, Merlin, The Visit and Kiss of the Spider Woman is an inspiration to everyone to keep doing what you love.
She is a ten-time Tony Award nominee and a three-time Tony Award recipient, including one for Lifetime Achievement.
Chita is the first Latina and the first Latino American to receive a Kennedy Center Honor and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 from President Barack Obama.
Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, who wrote the screenplay for Rustin, posted this to best actor nominee Colman Domingo on social media after today’s Oscar nominations were announced:
Heartfelt congratulations to Academy Award Nominee @kingofbingo!! For many a reason I wasn’t able to say much as RUSTIN met the world, but now, here are a few loving words. Bringing this story to screen was quite the solitary journey for more than a decade. Believers would come and go. Come and go. And the heartbreaks were plentiful and cut deep. BUT, one of the brightest moments in that decade came when @tomdaley and I spotted Colman and his husband walking into a CB2 in Weho. We ran after them, introduced ourselves, and I said to Colman that I knew in my heart he had to bring Rustin to screen. There was no hesitation from Colman. He was in and never lost his fire for the man and the story. Years later, when it seemed the production itself might lose its way, it was Colman who showed the courage to keep things true. I love this man. I genuinely could not be happier today. For Colman. And for the memory of Bayard Rustin and the brave work he did to bring people of all kinds together in the (ongoing) struggle and fight for equality and justice for all.
