From vampire noir to Bin Laden, Point Break to Detroit, the first woman to win an Oscar for best director has never pulled her punches Watching new Jeff Nichols release The Bikeriders , starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy as 60s Chicago greasers, I was reminded of two other movies: László Benedek’s 1953 Marlon Brando vehicle The Wild One , explicitly cited as an inspiration, and The Loveless , the 1981 feature debut of Kathryn Bigelow , the American film-maker (b.1951) who would go on to become the first woman to win a best director Oscar with her 2008 war drama The Hurt Locker .

-
The supermodel, 57, opened up in her cover story for the September issue of British Vogue, which was released on Thursday. She discussed her professional goals after taking a five-year hiatus due to a CoolSculpting mishap that left her body "brutally deformed." "I really miss working, but there's nothing I can do about it. It will not be simple, "She confided in the outlet that she thought people had forgotten about her reputation as one of the most sought-after faces of the 1990s. There's no way you'll see me in a bathing suit, she continued. Without retouching, squeezing into things, taping things, compressing, or fooling, which were all carefully planned out by Evangelista for her Vogue photo shoot, it will be challenging to obtain jobs with things protruding from me.

Aubrey Plaza Discloses That She Played A Fake Pie-Filled Italian Custom On Her ‘Spin Me Round’ Casting

-
Aubrey Plaza proved that her years of playing April, the resident prankster on Parks and Recreation, were worth it when she pulled a major prank on her castmates in Italy while filming the movie Spin Me Round. "I pretty much made up a very little phoney Italian custom," Plaza admitted to PEOPLE during a private screening of the movie at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. The movie was directed by Plaza's husband, Jeff Baena, who also co-wrote the script with star Alison Brie. "After you shoot in Italy, they have a tradition where you get pied in the face when you picture-wrap," I told every actor. Plaza was able to persuade her co-stars, including Brie, Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, Debby Ryan, Ego Nwodim, and Ayden Mayeri, that a made-up tradition was true and that they should each anticipate getting a pie in the face after filming was finished. "Is that true?" asked every actor. Yes, that's what the Italians do, I say, "Plaza clarified. &quo
