The Princess Bride alum, 54, stars in the new season of Crackle's The Art of More How do you relate to your role as an art collector on the series? My mother, being an interior designer, would take me to a lot of auctions and museums as a kid. My father and grandfather were also portrait painters, so I knew this character. Why did you write a book about making The Princess Bride? Because it really was even more fun than it looked. I can barely remember a day without laughter. What's another passion of yours? I enjoy following current events because I want to educate myself. I like to catch up on what's going on in the world. What's a day off like? Playing with my daughter [Dominique, 9]…

Janet Reno Dies at 78 The pioneer prosecutor was the first female U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, whose eight-year tenure as U.S. Attorney General spanned some of the most contentious moments of Bill Clinton's presidency, died on Nov. 7 of complications from Parkinson's disease. Reno, the second-longest-serving Attorney General in history, was a divisive figure whose time in office was bookended by two national controversies: the 1993 deadly raid on a religious compound in Waco, Texas, in which more than 80 people died, and the 2000 international custody battle for 6-year-old Cuban refugee Elián González. Reno, a former Miami prosecutor known for her blunt manner, once famously told reporters, "I don't do spin." She was also fond of saying, "The buck stops with me." Attorney General Loretta Lynch praised Reno…

Eddie Redmayne won an Oscar for playing Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, but he seems just as excited about the prize he's already got, for his latest role in the J.K.

The British actor, 34, who is also enjoying another huge role—new fatherhood—says he is looking forward to the day he can take his baby daughter Iris to the Beasts set.

ALL THE NEWS & BUZZ FROM HOLLYWOOD BRAD & ANGELINA THEIR DIVORCE BATTLE HEATS UP SINCE ANGELINA JOLIE FILED FOR DIVORCE on Sept. 19 and requested sole physical custody of the couple's six children, Brad Pitt's interactions with their kids have been limited. Locked in divorce negotiations with Jolie, Pitt, 52, has only been able to see the children during supervised visits. "The last few weeks have been tough for Brad," says a source close to the family. "He has been very unhappy with the arrangement to see his kids." On Nov. 4, Pitt made that loud and clear. He filed a legal response to Jolie's divorce petition and asked to share joint physical and legal custody of Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox…

Every night, before he goes to sleep, Jeremy Irwin turns toward a photograph of his daughter Lisa, her cherubic image beaming in a treasured snapshot. "I tell her good night and give her a kiss," he says. Lisa's mother, Deborah Bradley, keeps their daughter's favorite toy—a stuffed Barney doll—on a bedside table, awaiting the return of its owner, who vanished from her crib in their Kansas City, Mo., home on the night of Oct. 3, 2011. "When we do get her back, she's not going to know me, she's not going to know Jeremy, she's not going to know her brothers," says Deborah, a stay-at-home mom raising two sons. "But as long as she's safe, that's okay." Whether she is or isn't remains unknown. Last month marked the five-year anniversary…

Anna Kendrick is very good at playing the kind of intense young woman who does her homework twice. From her Oscar-nominated role as a corporate downsizer in 2009's Up in the Air to a junior accountant in The Accountant, her buttoned-up characters are often so driven, it drives them a little crazy. Offscreen, she's hardly type A. "I'm really lazy," Kendrick says. "When I have free time, I think I should be smart and arrange things in my life, but I never do. Instead I keep hitting 'Continue' on Netflix and think, 'I'm really bad at this.'" If Kendrick is a slacker at heart, imagine what she could do in show business if she put her mind to it. At 12, she had a Tony nomination; in her 20s she…

Last game I played I guess tennis this last weekend. I've never played regularly or often enough to get really good, but I have doggedness on my side. Last perfect day off We shot The Crown last year in London, and my wife [Mary Yeager] joined me. There were 150 or so shooting days and I only worked about 50 of them, so I had, like, 100 glorious days off when I was supposedly working. Last time I was moved to tears Sunday morning my wife and I went to see Queen of Katwe. Oh my God, take an entire box of Kleenex! It was tears of sadness and joy and the most unexpected things. I went right home and slept for two hours. It was brilliant. Last recurring dream…
