On Sunday night, Steven Spielberg debuted his highly personal new film The Fabelmans at Tcl Chinese Theatre, just steps away from where his hand and footprints are memorialized in cement. The movie, which he also co-wrote as well as directed, traces a slightly fictionalized version of his early life and his journey to becoming the world’s most famous filmmaker — and the family that helped him get there.
Michelle Williams and Paul Dano play versions of his parents, while Gabriel Labelle stars as Spielberg himself, but is named Sammy Fabelman in the film.
“It took me a minute to realize what he was asking,” Williams told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s premiere, which doubled as the closing night of L.A.’s AFI Fest, of getting the call from Spielberg to play his mother. “It’s still taking me a minute...

Arnold Spielberg, a pioneering computer designer who encouraged his only son, Steven Spielberg, to become a filmmaker, has died. He was 103.
Spielberg died Tuesday of natural causes in Los Angeles, his family announced.
In 1960, Arnold Spielberg helped design the Ge-225 mainframe computer that enabled researchers at Dartmouth College to develop the coding tool known as Basic, which ushered in the era of personal computers.
“I remember visiting the plant when dad was working on the Ge-225,” Steven said in 2015. “I walked through rooms that were so bright, I recall it hurting my eyes. Dad explained how his computer was expected to perform, but the language of computer science in those days was like Greek to me.
“It all seemed very exciting, but it was very much out of my reach until the 1980s, when I realized what pioneers like my dad had created were now the things I could not live without.
