As Gloria in Barbie last summer, Ferrera delivered the rousing “It is literally impossible to be a woman” monologue, that some say was the emotional high point of the film. Ferrera caught the acting bug young. At 10, she played the Artful Dodger in a school production of Oliver! She met her husband, director Ryan Piers Williams, when he cast her in his student film while they attended the University of Southern California. She made her feature film debut in 2002 in Real Women Have Curves, which was selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant. Ferrera was the first Latina—and the youngest woman, at 23—to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She…

How did you create these four distinct characters? I love unusual gangs, people with different skills and from different words. I knew I wanted four people that came from different directions. Everyone in Britain is obsessed with class. Our entire society is based on whether you were born working class or middle class. I wanted two women and two men, and two working-class characters and two middle-class characters. Then, I think it is the four quarters of my brain. Ron is a trade union activist who’s very belligerent. There’s a bit of me in that when I get angry at the…

Mostly, it’s gravity. Planets may start their lives looking like enormous asteroids, but after the passage of enough time, their hunks and chunks are very gradually pulled toward the center of their planetary bodies, all the while slowly pushing aside the more malleable components. Depending on how rigid these components are, plus any local inĥuences, planets will become roughly round over eons. The fact they are all so round now shows our solar system has been in existence for a hard-to-imagine length of time. The size of a planet also…

With Survivor starting its 45th season, do you think you’ve seen it all? You would think that after 23 years I would say that I’ve seen it all, but I know I haven’t and it’s for one simple reason: people are unpredictable. That’s what I’ve learned. When you put people in a crisis situation like Survivor, where you’re forced to survive in a real jungle while simultaneously conspiring against each other, it’s impossible to ever predict what any one person might do because every single person comes into the game from a very specific place. Their upbringing has impacted things, their friendship circle, the success they’ve had in life, how they were parented—all of that makes each person unique. And so, in every single decision point, it is a unique…

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1513141422?tag=arena_parade_edition-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1 FISH AND CHIPS TACOS WITH PEA GUACAMOLE These tacos take their cue from classic British fish and chips—with a side of “’mushy peas,’ which are delicious when blended with mashed avocado, mint and a squeeze of lemon,” says Manning. This version pan-sears fish for a quick weeknight dinner, but you can substitute frozen fish fingers (she likes Gorton’s Crunchy Fish Sticks) cooked according to the package directions. In a food processor, combine ½ cup frozen peas, thawed; 1 large ripe avocado, halved and pitted; 2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint; 1 Tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne. Pulse until smooth. Scrape into a bowl; season with salt to taste. Cover and set aside. Prepare 4 cups frozen French fries (8 oz) according to package directions, either in oven…

THE GOLD (SEPT. 17 ON PARAMOUNT+) This six-part miniseries is a cat-and-mouse recounting of the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery of Nov. 26, 1983. At the time, when six armed men broke into the security depot near London’s Heathrow Airport and stole gold bullion worth £26M, it was the biggest robbery in history. “It’s really about what happened next because the six robbers weren’t anticipating getting that much gold, and suddenly they had to get into the world of smelting and money laundering to get rid of that evidence,” says Hugh Bonneville, 59, who plays Brian Boyce, the head of the task force that investigated the theft. The now-retired Chief Superintendent who headed Scotland Yard’s task force is in his 80s, and Bonneville spent a few hours with him getting insight on…

Five decades ago, in the summer of 1973, a nervous Steve Miller entered the studio to record an album he thought might very well bring his career to a close. By that point he had released seven worthy albums that only attracted a cult audience. “I definitely felt this record was my last shot,” Miller said by phone the other day before a show on his current sold-out tour. “I was at the end of my recording contract, and I wasn’t hearing anything from the label. If this didn’t work, I thought I might be teaching high school English the next year.” Instead, he wound up giving the world a master class in how to make a smash hit. The first song he recorded, “The Joker,” was the ’70s equivalent…
