Richard Foronjy, who spent more than eight years in prison before he turned to acting and appeared in such films as Serpico, Midnight Run, Repo Man and Carlito’s Way, died Sunday, his family announced. He was 86.
Foronjy said he was arrested more than 20 times for “forgery, bank robbery, credit card rip-offs, assorted crimes and skullduggery … [guilty of] almost everything except drugs and homicide,” he said in a 1987 interview with Upi’s Vernon Scott.
The Brooklyn native was convicted only once, but that got him an 8½-year stretch in the New York prisons Sing Sing and Attica before he was released when he was 32.
In Hollywood, not surprisingly, Foronjy specialized in portraying cops and crooks.
He was a cop killer in his screen debut, Serpico (1973), and cops in The Morning After (1986) and Prince of the City (1981), all for Sidney Lumet. “I was especially good at playing cops, no doubt because I got to...

It’s no secret that Jodie Foster was once up for the part of Princess Leia in Star Wars — a role that became iconic for Carrie Fisher. But in a new interview on The Tonight Show Foster explained that the only reason she passed was because of a scheduling issue.
“I had a conflict,” she told host Jimmy Fallon. “I was doing a Disney movie and I just didn’t want to pull out of the Disney movie because I was already under contract. So I didn’t do it.

On April 27, 2023, former Cincinnati mayor and longtime talk show host Jerry Springer passed away. He was 79. The man led a long and textured life with many acts. As a boy, he fled England as it was being bombed by the Nazis. He came to the United States and began studying law, eventually becoming a Doctor of Jurisprudence. He was a campaign adviser for John F. Kennedy, and practiced law in Cincinnati. In 1971, he sat on the Cincinnati city council, but was infamously kicked off in 1974 for a sex scandal. Springer had been candid about the scandal over the following years, and even laughed at himself a little bit for using a personal check to pay a sex worker.
This didn't stymie his career, and he became the mayor of Cincinnati in 1978. It wouldn't be until 1991 that Springer, having accrued some broadcasting experience, would become a talk show host. "Jerry Springer" began innocently enough,...

Small thief and parolee Max Dembo is pinned in a parole system that all but guarantees he’ll go back to robbing banks and jewelry stores. Dustin Hoffman has one of his best and most unusual roles, taken from the story of a real bank robber. Directed by Ulu Grosbard, the docu-drama look at the seedy side of Los Angeles is graced with a perfect cast: Theresa Russell, Gary Busey, Harry Dean Stanton, M. Emmet Walsh, and Kathy Bates. Sure, the rotten parole officer drives Dembo back to crime, but pulling jobs is in his blood. It’s one of the best portraits of a criminal ever.

Many Netflix watchers are catching up with actor-director Griffin Dunne’s documentary about his aunt, “Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold,” following the news that the prolific writer died December 23 at age 87 from Parkinson’s. When President Barack Obama gave Didion the National Humanities Medal in 2012, he called her “one of our sharpest and most respected observers of American politics and culture.”
Didion not only chronicled the literati scene of New York in the 1950s and early ’60s but astutely dissected her home state of California. After graduating from Uc Berkeley, she landed a job at Vogue in New York, where she penned movie reviews — until her pan of “The Sound of Music.” After marrying Time staffer John Gregory Dunne in 1964, the couple moved to Los Angeles and wound up becoming the ultimate Hollywood insiders. When Didion and Dunne later moved to New York City in 1988, they had lived in Los Angeles for 24 years.

Joan Didion, who died today at age 87, and her husband, John Gregory Dunne, sustained a uniquely frosty but profitable relationship with Hollywood over the years. As novelists and screenwriters, they earned top-dollar for their screenplays, and often accepted rewrites, yet also critiqued the foibles of the studio system.
While socially tight with the Hollywood circuit and active purveyors of studio gossip, they also maintained important literary careers, were courted by publishers and regularly contributed to the New York Review of Books and other publications.
“They maintained a split personality as Hollywood people but also as New York insiders,” explained one of their agents.

Joan Didion, the journalist, novelist, and screenwriter of such films as the 1976 “A Star Is Born” died Thursday at her home in Manhattan at the age of 87. The New York Times reported that the cause was Parkinson’s disease.
Didion was born in Sacramento in 1934. The fifth-generation Californian found some of her most important material for her earliest writing in the culture and chaos of her home state. Her career began after she won a pair of writing contests put on by magazines during her time at Uc Berkeley. One of those wins led her to begin writing at Vogue.
She worked her way up to features editor at the fashion magazine. In 1963 she published her first novel, “Run River,” about the unraveling of a marriage that also serves as a commentary on the history of California.

Joan Didion, the author revered for her coolly dispassionate essays and novels such as “Play It as It Lays,” has died, her publisher confirmed to The New York Times on Wednesday. She was 87. Along with her late husband John Gregory Dunne, Didion co-wrote screenplays for the films “True Confessions,” “A Star Is Born,” “The Panic in Needle Park” and “Up Close and Personal.”
It was the 1968 essay collection “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” and 1970 novel “Play It as It Lays,” which she also adapted for a 1972 film, that secured her reputation as a sharp-eyed observer of the culture and people of California and beyond.
Another essay collection, 1979’s “The White Album,” assembled from her pieces in Esquire and other magazines, took on subjects that defined the era such as Charles Manson and the Doors, further cementing her place as one of the foremost chroniclers of the tumultuous ’60s and ’70s.

As a most unusual holiday season begins, it’s going to be harder for streaming services to demand our attention. With its new releases for December 2020, Amazon Prime is trying its best anyway.
This is actually an uncommonly jam-packed and intriguing roster of content for Bezos’s outfit. The list this month is highlighted by the release of The Expanse season 5 on Dec. 16. The beloved sci-fi series made the jump from Syfy to Amazon last year and things went well enough that it’s coming back for more. That returning show is complemented by another new genre series. The Wilds premieres on Dec. 11 and will follows a group of teenage girls lost (or Lost) on a deserted island.

As the year winds down, streaming services appear to be taking a step back, licking their wounds from this strange pandemic production season, and looking to a hopefully brighter future. This is all to say that Hulu‘s list of new releases for December 2020 isn’t quite its most inspiring batch yet…and that’s Ok.
Hulu’s biggest original title this month is undoubtedly The Hardy Boys. This adaptation of the classic boy detective novels is aimed at younger audiences and will premiere on Dec. 4. Then, near the end of the month, Hulu is bringing a new season of a show that is decidedly not for younger audiences. Season 9 of the very funny and very Canadian Letterkenny arrives on Dec. 26.
Hulu also has some recent movies of note coming in December including Amy Seimetz’s diabolical She Dies Tomorrow on Dec. 4 and children’s movie The Secret Garden on Dec.

Hard as it is to believe with everything going on right now, but Christmas is only about five weeks away, and the streaming market is already looking crowded. Although Netflix can probably expect to continue their dominance over subscribers through the end of 2020, Amazon Prime are releasing some notable titles for the last month of the year, including original films like I’m Your Woman and new episodes of The Expanse.
In terms of the former, it stars Rachel Brosnahan of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in a picture about a woman who has to go on the run after her husband gets into trouble with his business partner. We’ll also be seeing the much-anticipated Sound of Metal, which features Riz Ahmed as a heavy metal drummer who develops hearing loss. This one will receive a limited theatrical release before heading to Amazon on December 4th. And elsewhere, viewers can expect...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, as the various streaming services are stocking their libraries with some great new titles this December to keep us going through the festive period. When it comes to Hulu, the Disney-owned platform is adding a few holiday-related movies and TV shows, but is mostly taking the track of stuffing itself full of classic films that the whole family can enjoy.
This includes a bunch of the best James Bond pics ever made, like GoldenEye, The Spy Who Loved Me, Goldfinger and, the one that kicked it all off, Dr. No. That would be a perfect watch to honor Sean Connery, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
Other action movies you might want to check out this December, meanwhile, include The Hurt Locker, The Fifth Element, 2003’s Hulk and the two “Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon” flicks, The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

Ryan Reynolds and Camila Cabello put their persuasion abilities to the test in a round of "True Confessions" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the Dec. 12 episode, the 43-year-old "Free Guy" star and 22-year-old "Señorita" singer played the game, in which they had to guess the validity of someone's claim. Ryan was naturally skilled at sharing his disclosure - which was "My mom once washed her hands with a urinal cake" - while keeping a poker face.
Camila, on the other hand, admitted to being "a bad liar." But when she confessed that she once lost Taylor Swift's cat, it was pretty hard for Ryan and Jimmy to gauge her honesty. Watch them interrogate Camila to see if she really was responsible for losing one of Taylor's beloved pets in the clip above!

Camila Cabello once lost Taylor Swift's cat. Or did she? During an appearance on Thursday's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Cabello played a round of True Confessions with Ryan Reynolds and host Jimmy Fallon. The premise of the game was that each of the players had written down a few stories about their lives that were either true or false. When they read the stories aloud, the other competitors had to determine whether or not they really happened. For his part, Reynolds shared a truly hilarious story about his mother accidentally washing her hands with a urinal cake at a funeral in Vancouver. Unfortunately for Mama Reynolds, that turned out to be entirely true. And it happened a few...

Following the release of her inaugural LP When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? earlier this year, Billie Eilish made her Saturday Night Live debut as musical guest, appearing on the Woody Harrelson-hosted Season 45 premiere.
Appearing in a box made to look like Grand Central station in New York, the singer first delivered a gravity-defying performance of her hit “Bad Guy.” While she initially sauntered across the floor, she soon began walking on the walls and then on the ceiling in her signature oversized T-shirt.

Billie Eilish stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a game of True Confessions, and boy did they confess some things. The host and the 17-year-old singer were joined by comedian Colin Quinn as they debated whether each person's disclosure was true. While Jimmy's and Colin's reveals were hilarious, Billie's leaned more to the stomach-churning side. "I once farted in my friend's mouth while she was yawning and she threw up," her card read. And of course Jimmy and Colin were pretty confused, but tried to get down to the bottom of everything (no pun intended). Watch them try to figure out if Billie is lying about the flatulent story above!

“Men in Black: International” stars Chris Hemsworth and Kumail Nanjiani joined Jimmy Fallon for a round of “True Confessions” on Wednesday, when we all learned quite a bit about the “Silicon Valley” actor.
First though, it was Hemsworth’s turn to either lie or tell the truth in the “Tonight Show” game. Thor told the truth, but the description of the Aussie’s first job sure sounded like a lie.
After Hemsworth, Fallon told a tall tale about partying with Dolph Lundgren and an angry pack of wolves. That one was untrue, but it also wasn’t any crazier than what Nanjiani actually did back in the day.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, the Aussie hunk played a game of "True Confessions" with host Jimmy Fallon and comedian Kumail Nanjiani.

Anyone who has seen Avengers: Endgame knows that the character of Thor took a really dark turn. The superhero, played by Chris Hemsworth, was so depressed by the loss of his friends and family that he gained weight and started heavily drinking. So it makes sense that Fat Thor would be into Johnny Cash, especially the singer’s morose cover of Nine Inch Nails’ tune “Hurt.”
Hemsworth shared a clip of him in character as Thor covering the track with The Tonight Show. “I didn’t know if I was ever going to show it,...

Mulaney was up first: “My neighbor was arrested by the FBI for being a cannibal.”
That one can’t be true, right? Think again. Yeah, this is a messed up world.

When Matthew McConaughey appeared on The Tonight Show on Wednesday, Sept. 12, host Jimmy Fallon challenged the actor to a fun game of "True Confessions." And during their chat, Matthew candidly revealed that he once saved his now 10-year-old son, Levi, from a charging mountain ram! Yes, seriously! "I got charged by a mountain ram at the edge of the Grand Canyon and had to throw my six-month-old child 15 feet through the air — to my wife — to save him," he recalled. The almost deadly encounter happened while Matthew, now 48, was having a picnic with his wife, Camila Alves, and their son Levi in the mountains nearly a decade ago. Matthew and his family in 2016. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Once the couple noticed the raging animal, Matthew said that his wife, 36, immediately started to head to the bottom of the hill so he could toss their then baby Levi into her arms.
