Tatum O’Neal, in a poignant message to well-wishers days after the death of her father, actor Ryan O’Neal, offers a simple but heartfelt, “Thank you everyone for all your love and support,” she says in the Instagram video. “He’s in heaven now.” After a slight pause, the somber-looking Tatum reassures, “Yeah.”
The video, set to Anten’s dreamy, ambient-style instrumental “Hope To See You Again,” is accompanied by a written message: “Me & my kids loved you so much, daddy. You’ll forever be in my heart. Keep each other close, everyone. Life is a journey.”
After her brief spoken message, O’Neal’s tribute video becomes a montage of photos of her and her dad over the years, touchingly ending with the famous Paper Moon photo of the two actors, in character as Addie and Moses Pray, seated on a quarter moon.

In the 1960s, Mick Jagger moved in several doors down from The Beatles’ Ringo Starr. Jagger and Starr were members of two of the biggest bands of the era. Naturally, both of their presences drew fans. This became a problem for Jagger. When he and his girlfriend were leaving the house, a fan of Starr’s rushed forward and attacked.
Ringo Starr’s fans caused problems for Mick Jagger and his girlfriend
In the mid-1960s, Rolling Stones fans discovered that Jagger and Keith Richards were living together in Hampstead, an area in London. The constant presence of fans and the long-term relationships of both Jagger and Richards led them to decide it was time to move.
After bouncing around for a while, Jagger moved into the home of composer Lionel Bart. He moved in with his girlfriend, Chrissie Shrimpton.

The Rolling Stones were another massively popular band to come out of England in the 1960s, so The Beatles’ John Lennon spent a good deal of time around them. While he liked the band members, he had some problems with their music. He believed they were, in some ways, knock-offs of The Beatles. He didn’t think their music was strong enough to survive the fan reaction to Mick Jagger’s wedding.
John Lennon thought The Rolling Stones’ success relied on Mick Jagger’s relationship status
Early in The Beatles’ career, Lennon married his girlfriend Cynthia. For a while, he kept the relationship quiet because of the concern that fans would turn on the band if they found out Lennon was taken. Ultimately, though, the news leaked out, and The Beatles didn’t suffer a hit to their popularity.

The Rolling Stones have existed for six decades, yet the women who influenced the members and their music have been largely overlooked and under-appreciated. But with her new book Parachute Women: Marianne Faithfull, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger, Anita Pallenberg, and the Women Behind the Rolling Stones, Elizabeth Winder is attempting to change that. In an excerpt below, Winder details the moment Anita Pallenberg’s path crossed with the band — and how she transformed them from “schoolboys” to stars.

His death was announced by his agency, Helmet Werner Management.
“Helmut Berger was one of the greatest and most talented actors European cinema had ever seen,” the agency said in a statement. “His mentor, the Italian star director Luchino Visconti, recognized this talent immediately. With the films The Damned, Violence and Passion and Ludwig II he created an eternal monument to Helmut Berger.
The statement continued, “”No other actor after him embodied the Bavarian fairy tale king as expressively as the native of Bad Ischl [Austria], whose portrayal of Ludwig II is internationally recognized as a masterpiece.”

Daisy Jones & The Six is a love letter to the ’70s, complete with the decade’s unparalleled rock’n’roll flavor and sense of style. The limited series on Amazon Prime is based on the bestselling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and follows a fictional band that’s loosely based on the rise and fall of Fleetwood Mac in its heyday.
Several of the cast members took inspiration from the real-life band, but Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie weren’t the only women who served as models for the actors. Some, like Linda Ronstadt and Cher, became part of the fabric of the show as well.

The vibe for costumes in Amazon’s “Daisy Jones & the Six” ranges from boho chic to lots of denim and earthtones oozing ‘70s California vibes. Costume designer Denise Wingate spent many weekends scouring thrift shops and flea markets to build the wardrobe that consisted of over 1500 changes for the series based on the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Riley Keough stars as Daisy Jones, the lead singer of the rock band The Six, which is shown as it climbs the music charts. Showrunner Scott Neustadter wanted the visuals to look “realistic and not costumey,” says Wingate, who started by putting together individual mood boards for the principals.
She explains the ideas for each character, with authenticity being the key. “For keyboardist Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse), Karen was tougher and inspired by Patti Smith, Suzi Quatro and Chrissie Hynde. Camila (Camila Morrone) was her own separate animal. She was...

In many respects, Mick Jagger is the quintessential rock star. As the lead vocalist of the Rolling Stones, Jagger is the frontman for one of the most iconic rock bands of all time. And his status as a pop culture icon – and famous lothario – has only expanded from there. But one biographer made a bold claim about Jagger’s love life that might shock even the most devoted fans.

Before we get to that shocking claim, it’s worth taking a glance at Jagger’s romantic history. The singer has famously been in a string of well-known relationships. But three of these are perhaps the most prominent. From 1977 to 1999, he dated model and actor Jerry Hall. Then after she learned of his infidelity, the two – who were unofficially married,...

The debut of Prime Video’s upcoming “Daisy Jones & The Six” is right around the corner, and in advance of the highly anticipated musical miniseries, based on the bestseller by Taylor Jenkins Reid, costume designer Denise Wingate spoke with People about the significance of the characters’ clothing choices.
In the series, Riley Keough stars as the titular Daisy Jones, lead singer in a rock band that goes from obscurity to stardom in the 1970s.
Given Keough’s family heritage — her grandfather is none other than the late Elvis Presley — Wingate felt it was appropriate that some of the fashions in the show pay tribute to the King of Rock ‘n Roll.

“Nightclubbing,” the first-ever documentary about the legendary New York City nightclub Max’s Kansas City, which from 1965 through 1981 was a hotbed for the city’s rock, glam, punk and new wave scenes, has announced a series of screenings across the globe in July and August.
The film — the full title of which is “Nightclubbing: The Birth of Punk Rock in NYC” — will screen along with another doc from Chip Baker Films, “Sid: The Final Curtain,” which is a brief documentary about the late Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious’ final concert, which took place at Max’s.
“Nightclubbing” is the sixth music documentary from Spanish filmmaker Danny Garcia (others include “The Rise and Fall of The Clash” and “Rolling Stone: The Life and Death of Brian Jones” about the group’s founder and original leader).

George Harrison was known as the quiet Beatle, and sometimes also wanted to be invisible.
“Beatle George Harrison, above, is due in court here today to answer assault charges,” John Lennon reads from a newspaper in a scene in Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back. “Harrison is accused of assaulting a photographer last May as he and Beatle Ringo Starr left a nightclub.”
The accused looks fairly bewildered, as did much of the audience. The story intermittently creeps back into the documentary, making its presence known while Harrison largely ignores it and moves on.
In The Beatles: Get Back, Jackson shows how news items about The Beatles have a tendency to take on lives of their own. Paul McCartney improvises his version of Michael Housego’s article “The End of a Beautiful Friendship,” about Harrison quitting the band, while the rest of the group rolls through old time rock and roll.

Apple TV+’s 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything is immersive and fairly ambitious. The eight-part documentary series wants to run 33 revolutions per minute, and only comes up about a third short. It captures how musicians’ fingers were on the pulse of the day’s headlines and the laid the tracks for the nights’ rhythms.
Artists sang the news, sometimes causing it, other times reacting. Rock and roll had grown up and rock musicians took on responsibilities. Rhythm and blues got loose and soul musicians took to the streets. A former University of California philosophy professor named Angela Davis was charged with aiding and abetting the murder of a judge and Aretha Franklin personally offered to post bail.

Netflix's Halston unpacks the titular fashion designer's colorful life story throughout the highlights of his illustrious career. The miniseries, which stars Ewan McGregor as the icon, especially sheds a light on Halston's drug habit, which many in his inner circle believed to be an addiction at his height in the '70s. In Halston, he's first tentative about drug use, admonishing his assistant for taking speed. But by episode two, Halston's hookups start to become drug-laced affairs. But which ones did he take, exactly? While the men who offer Halston drugs never directly name the substance, it's very likely cocaine.
Along with using cigarettes, joints, and drinks, the real Halston also snorted cocaine regularly after trying it during his summers on Fire Island.

Halston, the famed American designer and subject of Netflix's new miniseries Halston, hung out with some of the biggest stars of the film and art. One of his best friends was actress Liza Minnelli, and their friendship helped inspire his designs and her iconic style alike. We're excited to see Ewan McGregor and Krysta Rodriguez depiction their famous friendship onscreen, though it's different than how things really went down. Here's what the real duo were like.
It was actually Minnelli's godmother, Kay Thompson, who first introduced the future best friends, and it all started when Minnelli spotted a Halston design. Minnelli recounted that fateful trip to Bloomingdale's and her subsequent introduction to Halston in Harper's Bazaar: "It was cut differently - thinner and longer. It was chicer. And I thought, 'Oh, wow, this is great' ... We got along instantly, and he became my fashion mate. I did what he said.

If you were at Studio 54 in the 1970s, you were probably wearing Halston. Or at least wanted to look like you were wearing Halston. The designer's aesthetic ruled the disco-glam era, his name synonymous with an effortless style adopted by the decade's tastemakers who looked like they rolled out of bed ready to be photographed. That group included Halston himself—born Roy Halston Frowick in Des Moines, Iowa, but destined to be the toast of New York—and an inner circle populated by the likes of Liza Minnelli, Bianca Jagger, Joel Schumacher and Andy Warhol. Netflix's new limited series Halston stars Ewan McGregor as the designer, an exacting...

In episode three of “Making the Cut,” “Collaboration,” the designers had to work in pairs to create mini collections that blended their aesthetics. At the end of that episode Josh Hupper was eliminated (he actually sort of eliminated himself before the judges even had the chance), and his partner Troy Hul Arnold was on the verge of elimination. So did the judges’ ultimately decide to give him a second chance? And how did the designers do in the next challenge when they had mere hours instead of days to create “Fight for Your Life” looks? Find out below in our recap with all our minute-by-minute takes.

“I know you’re dying trying to figure me out,” Dua Lipa sings on her new album Future Nostalgia’s title track. She’s not wrong: While her self-titled, 2017 debut established her as a smoky-voiced purveyor of easily digestible Top 40 hits, it lacked a sense of who Lipa actually was alongside her big personality peers. Her versatility outweighed almost everything else that could set her apart.
Three years later, the “female alpha” as she deems herself on the title track, is living up to her words. Future Nostalgia is a breathtakingly fun,...

Exclusive: Actress-singer Krysta Rodriguez has been cast opposite Ewan McGregor in Halston, Ryan Murphy’s Netflix limited series starring McGregor as the iconic designer. Rodriguez will play Liza Minnelli, Halston’s muse and best friend.
Little is known about Halston. In the project’s original incarnation, before Murphy came on board and made it one of the projects under his mega Netflix deal, it was written by Sharr White (The Affair) and to be directed by Dan Minahan, who worked with Murphy on another limited series about a famous designer, FX’s Versace: American Crime Story.. Halston is believed to be tracking Halston (born Roy Halston Frowick) as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that’s synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame, literally defining the era he lives in, 1970’s and ‘80’s New York — until a hostile takeover forces him...

Prior to her new song “Don’t Start Now,” it seemed unclear how Dua Lipa would fit into the ever-growing, increasingly more competitive pop stratosphere. Was she a smoky voiced balladeer? A go-to collaborator for Edm producers? A bubblegum pop princess? She existed in all three worlds on her self-titled debut album, but it seems that Lipa is finally finding her pop footing.

She was photographed by Warhol, and Dalí wanted to paint her; the first films she made were Death in Venice and Cabaret. So why did she walk away?
Most people, says Marisa Berenson, “tend to live in my past. Which is fine.” She smiles, well aware of the fascination. “But I tend to live in the present and in the future.” A 2001 profile of the model/actor in the New York Times described her as a “Zelig of the zeitgeist … popping up in the right place at the right time”. And there is certainly something magical about her life and the people who have passed through it. As a child (she is now 72) she was taught to dance by Gene Kelly. Greta Garbo came to her parents’ parties; Salvador Dalí – a friend of her grandmother, the designer Elsa Schiaparelli – wanted to paint her. The legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland pushed...

Frédéric Tcheng’s pretentious documentary charts the rise and fall of the boy from Iowa who became a New York fashion icon
In the 70s, the American designer Halston was one of fashion’s biggest stars. But since his death from an Aids-related illness in 1990, his reputation has dimmed, despite attempts to revive his company (one of them involving Harvey Weinstein and Sarah Jessica Parker). Now comes this flattering, myth-inflating documentary by Frédéric Tcheng, who gives us the story of Roy Halston Frowick, a kid from Des Moines, Iowa, who reinvented himself in New York as a milliner to the super-rich and joined the big league by putting Jackie Kennedy in a pillbox hat at JFK’s inauguration. He became one-name famous by designing party dresses that one interviewee gigglingly describes as best worn without knickers.

His name swept through fashion in the 1970s on waves of cha-ching commercial success and celebrity adulation. That was Halston, born Roy Halston Frowick in Des Moines, Iowa, whose dream of “dressing everybody in America” made him a one-name sensation like Chanel, Dior, Valentino. Of course, Halston began by dressing the rich and famous, from the pillbox hat he put on the head of Jackie Kennedy for her husband’s inauguration to the flowing fabrics he draped on the celebrated women who swanned through Studio 54, Halston soon became as...

Ralph Fiennes celebrated his latest directorial outing, “The White Crow,” on Monday night in New York City.
The Sony Pictures Classics film tells the story of legendary dancer Rudolf Nureyev.
“It’s been a very, very long road. We were mad. We were mad to take on this subject of Rudolf Nureyev. Mad. Completely mad,” Fiennes said. “But we did it … many of you here, who know the film business or are close to the film business, you know how hard it is to put a film together, to raise the finance, to get the resources, especially when the independent film world is so challenged at the moment.”

If things had gone differently, the red-carpet mileage of awards season would still be splashed with the showy, flowy designs of Roy Halston Frowick: better known simply by his middle name, the Midwest-raised fashion designer belatedly put American couture on the map in the 1970s. After his luxury brand expanded to ubiquitous levels in just a few years, riding a wave of celebrity disco culture, a series of ill-advised business decisions and cruel corporate sabotage combined to demolish it even more suddenly, making Halston a has-been by the time of his AIDS-related death in 1990. It’s a true fashion tragedy that docmaker Frédéric Tcheng unpicks with devotion and compelling attention to detail in his plainly titled “Halston,” though the film errs by treating its subject’s demise as more of a mystery than it really was.

In the 1970s, Studio 54 was the epicenter of New York nightlife. With wildly theatrical sets, a guest list of celebs, and jet-setters that included everyone from Andy Warhol to Grace Jones, and a pulsating disco beat, the nightclub helped define the Me Decade. But its reign was short lived. In 1980, founders Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager were convicted of tax evasion after skimming nearly $2.5 million in unreported income.
The club and Rubell and Schrager’s rise to the top of the Manhattan social ladder are documented in Matt Tyrnauer’s acclaimed new documentary, “Studio 54.” Rubell died of complications from AIDS in 1989, but the film boasts in-depth interviews with Schrager, who has been hesitant in the past to publicly reflect on that heady time.
It’s easy to see why he’d be wary of revisiting the more painful parts of his past. Schrager successfully reinvented himself, helping to...

Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood Director Matt Tyrnauer is back with a new feature-length documentary which takes us behind the velvet rope of the world’s most famous nightclub, New York’s Studio 54. Although the club was open in its original incarnation for only 33 months, looking back it encapsulates so much of what defined that late Seventies disco era before the arrival of HIV/AIDS. Largely thanks to the images of its celebrity patrons and anecdotes about the club’s strict door policy, it has remained an indelible icon of popular culture for four decades.
Ahead of Studio 54’s New York opening today, Friday 5th October at the IFC Center before a nationwide Us expansion, James Kleinmann spoke with Matt Tyrnauer about setting out to reveal the untold tale of the club’s history.

The nightclub Studio 54 sought to be a disco paradise in the 1970s, a utopia made up of sex, drugs, dancing, and celebrity display. Many gay men of a certain age in Manhattan still claim to have been one of the shirtless waiters in tight shorts at Studio 54, and like so much else about that club, these claims are hard to verify.
Documentarian Matt Tyrnauer (“Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood”) sits down with the two surviving co-owners of the club, Ian Schrager and Jack Dushey (the latter functioned as a silent partner), and tries to get them to reveal the tale behind its rise and fall, but this often proves difficult for him. Steve Rubell, the exuberant public face of Studio 54, died of AIDS-related complications in 1989, and so he isn’t around to tell his part of the story.

With muted hues, velvet fabric and silhouettes with high-necklines, the collaboration shines light on the star's retro-leaning aesthetic.

A sprawling yet compact history of the iconic night club, Studio 54 focuses on the club’s founders, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, two men who turned a small business throwing balls for rich kids on Long Island into the venue to be during the disco era. Lasting only four years, the converted theater became a theatrical experience all its own. As explained by disco legend and club regular, Nile Rodgers – the models would hang with the gays, the straight guys would show up to meet the models, and the disco (at least in Manhattan) became a rare place of diversity and unity.
Directed by Matt Tyranauer, Studio 54 provides an aerial overview of the club, fittingly concerned more with the battles that took place behind the scenes than those out on stage, – by design, the club was a theatre with participants down below with a dark balcony for voyeurism and other activities.

There is a quote near beginning of the documentary Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards from Marilyn Monroe: “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” Designer Manolo Blahnik seems to have taken that message to heart.
Manolo Blahnik, white-haired, sharp-tongued, fussily dressed, with round black frame glasses, seems to barely tolerate being photographed, telling him the film is “taking as long to make as Gone With The Wind.” The scene which sets up a snapshot of his personality – funny, sharp-witted, not suffering fools gladly – and restless nature. A quick montage of celebrities touting his shoes is capped by the filmmaker coaxing Manolo to tell an oft-told tale. When he was a boy growing up in Spain’s Canary Islands, he would make shoes for lizards.

If Andy were still strutting about nowadays, he might just tweak his "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" to "in the future, everyone will be starring in her own documentary or reality TV series."

You who are of a certain age, especially those of you with fashionista leanings, will recall this salty soul's snapshots or at least those who were apprehended by her lens: Kate Moss, Steve Rubell, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Truman Capote, Lenny Kravitz, and Linda Evangelista.
