Meghan Markle just made her feelings about Prince Harry’s family crystal clear. According to new court documents that were released as a part of her privacy claim against a U.K. tabloid, the rebellious duchess, 38, felt “unprotected” by the monarchs while pregnant with Archie. “Meghan hasn’t directly talked to the media about her ill will — she wanted to get the word out indirectly,” an insider tells Us. Now “trouble is brewing between Harry and Meghan, and the royals.” BATTLE ROYALE The insider says the Windsors have only so much control over what people think: “They do their utmost to protect their family, especially since Princess Diana’s death, but it’s impossible for them to completely control what the public says about Meghan.” In fact, says the insider, “some of the…

Director Liz Garbus isn’t interested in telling the story of a killer. What captivated her was the tale of Michelle McNamara, a writer whose obsession with a cold case ultimately landed a serial rapist and murderer in jail. HBO’s six-part true-crime docuseries I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (Sundays, 10 p.m.) tells the story of McNamara, an amateur sleuth who spent 10 years hunting down the Golden State Killer, who was responsible for at least 50 rapes and 13 murders in the 1970s and ’80s. When she died of an accidental overdose in 2016, her husband, actor Patton Oswalt, worked with his late wife’s team to continue her mission; and in 2018, the killer was caught — two months after the publication of McNamara’s book, I’ll Be Gone in the…

1. My first job was painting houses — and not very well. I got my first two professional acting jobs from open-call auditions in NYC: the Broadway revival of Hair and the Broadway company of Grease. 2. I was playing Danny Zuko [in Grease on Broadway] when the movie came out. 3. I’ve done 10 Broadway shows — five musicals and five plays. 4. The moment I realized I’d made it was after the packed premiere of my first movie, The Idolmaker, at Radio City Music Hall. A mob of girls grabbed my tie and nearly strangled me. I thought, “This is different… and kind of scary.” 5. I’m really shy. 6. My first car was a 1968 Cougar XR7 convertible, which I bought very used. It had a lot…
