Claire Foy On Why The Set Of ‘Women Talking’ Was Unlike Anything She’d Experienced Before – Contenders L.A.

Culinary chats! Celebrity chef Judy Joo sat down with famed baker Buddy Valastro to talk about life in and out of the kitchen — during the holiday season.

Former Fox Television Chair and CEO Gary Newman has joined the BBC Commercial Board along with UK TV vet Claire Hungate, while Damon Buffini has been upped to Deputy Chair of the BBC Board.

Claire Foy is nothing but versatile. In 2018, after winning an Emmy as Elizabeth II in The Crown, the 38-year-old Brit appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show and threw down the intro to The Sugarhill Gang’s hit ‘Rapper’s Delight’. The same year, she was astronaut Neil Armstrong’s wife in First Man, but in Oscar hopeful Women Talking she plays Salome, for whom the moon landing is pie in the sky. Directed by Sarah Polley and produced by Frances McDormand, it takes place in a strict religious community where women and girls have been abused by their menfolk. A meeting is called: do they stay, or do they go?

They did it! Derek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss, who met while competing on Big Brother in the summer of 2021, just won $1 million after competing together on The Amazing Race.

It’s all led up to this moment. The Amazing Race season 34 might be coming to an end — but the final leg from Iceland to the U.S. comes with plenty of challenges.

The team behind the Prince Charles Cinema, an independent theater in London’s West End, is set to launch a bid to revive Edinburgh Filmhouse, which closed its doors this month due to financial difficulties.

Shortly after Donald Trump became president of the United States in January 2017, he began stacking federal courts with conservative judges. Realizing what was at stake, the team behind HBO Documentary Films’ abortion documentary The Janes began crafting a story to remind the audience what happened 50 years ago when women didn’t have access to safe and legal abortions.

“I was just blown away,” director Colm Bairéad says of seeing the first audition tape of Catherine Clinch, the young girl who takes on the lead role of Cáit in his Irish-language Oscar entry The Quiet Girl. “She just had this immediate understanding of this character as someone who had learned to push all of her emotions inward and had learned to hide in a sense, in plain sight.”

A version of this story about the “Women Talking” first appeared in the Guilds & Critics Awards / Documentaries issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine. “Women Talking,” author Miriam Toews’s 2018 novel, was inspired by a serial sexual assault case in Bolivia, where more than a hundred Mennonite women were tranquilized and raped by men in their secluded community. Hearing the gruesome real-life details, it’s easy to imagine the kind of true-crime sensation that the story might have made in lurid docuseries form.

Swish! Prince William and Princess Kate wrapped up their first day across the pond by enjoying one of America’s favorite pastimes.

Darius Danesh Campbell had found love again in the months before his death, a close friend revealed. The Pop Idol star, who died in August aged 41, was in a relationship with US entrepreneur Lauren Cheek.

Donald Anthony St. Claire, one of the oldest contestants to participate on The Amazing Race, died Aug. 31 at his Northern California home at Angels Camp, his son said. He was 87 and his death was confirmed by his family, but no cause was given.

Don’t look down! Claire Rehfuss reluctantly attempts to conquer her fear of heights as part of the Roadblock in the upcoming episode of The Amazing Race.
