British actress
POPULARITY
Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 26ú lá de mí an Mhárta, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1974 tháinig an nuacht amach nach raibh aon mhisneach ann don sos sa phá deonach de réir Richie Ryan. I 1993 tháinig sé amach gur dúnmharaíodh seisear eile sa Tuaisceart agus tháinig sé amach go raibh na dílseoirí freagrach as cúigear. I 2000 bhí scannán á thaispeáint sa phictiúrlann san Aonach Urmhumhan cosúil le The Talented Mr Ripley, Toy Story 2 agus Agnes Brown. I 2012 d'oscail margadh nua I Baker Street I nDurlas. Bhí sé oscailte do dhaoine a raibh ag iarradh bia agus ceardaíocht a dhíol agus bhí sé ar siúil gach Sathairn. Sin Usher le Yeah – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2004. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1983 chuaigh Duran Duran chuig barr na cairteacha sa Bhreatain don chéad uair lena amhrán Is There Something I Should Know. Chuaigh siad chuig barr na cairteacha an bhliain tar éis lena amhrán The Reflex. I 1996 chuaigh Shania Twain chuig uimhir a haon sna cairteacha I Meiriceá. Chuaigh a dara albam The Woman In Me chuig uimhir a haon. Dhíol sí níos mó ná 20 milliún cóip timpeall an domhain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Keira Knightly sa Bhreatain I 1985 agus rugadh amhránaí Diana Ross I Meiriceá I 1944 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Review and recommendations of Netflix's 6-part series, 'Black Doves', and the Caroline Lindy's indie film, "Your Monster". Keira Knightly morphs into a super spy with impressive fighting skills and a comedic relief spy best friend in a series that I thought rivaled any action movie in recent years. Then, Melissa Bererra gives an outstanding performance as a young woman dealing with a pile of disappointments and challenges amidst a backdrop of musical theater and fantasy. BONUS: Jax Taylor's silent Cameo and the recent luxury handbag upset by the "Wirkin" All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Die Weihnachtsgeschichte ist nicht Alles, was man in einer Verfilmung der Geschichte von Maria erzählen könnte, doch leider versteift sich der dieswöchige Film allein darauf und ist dadurch um Welten öder als die 1000. generische Agentenserie, in diesem Fall Black Doves mit Keira Knightly, selbst sogar als Slow Horses, trotz toxischer Arbeitsumgebung. Dass Kinderanimationsfilme heutzutage auch wirklich schwierige Themen mutig und mit Fingerspitzengefühl angehen, zeigt eindrucksvoll der Netflixfilm Spellbound, der damit noch innovativer ist als der Suspensehorrorfilm Get Out.
On this week's show, the hosts chew over Nightbitch, Marielle Heller's (Queen's Gambit, Can You Ever Forgive Me, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, MacGruber), fourth feature film. Amy Adam stars as “Mother,” a former artist who has given up her creative pursuits to care for her infant son full-time — a transition so taxing, that she begins dissociating and transforming into a dog at night. And while there's a lot to like here (it's an adaptation of Rachel Yonder's magical realism novel of the same name, for example), does the film ever achieve lift-off? Then, the three rip Black Doves to shreds, Netflix's latest espionage show starring Keira Knightly, Sarah Lancashire, and Ben Whishaw that has far too many plot holes to name (although, Stephen does try to.) Finally, the panel digs into the strange case of Luigi Mangione, the suspected shooter in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — and the internet's sardonic, if not jubilant, reaction to the fatal shooting. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel explores the celebrity look-alike contest: a puzzling and mildly delightful phenomenon that's been sweeping the nation. (Read Nadira Goffe's excellent reporting on the Timothée Chalamet tournament that started it all, here.) FINAL CALL: We are down to the final week!

Roger Love is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on voice. No other vocal coach in history has been more commercially successful in both the speaking and singing fields.Roger coaches singers such as John Mayer and Selena Gomez, speakers like Anthony Robbins, sport stars like Tom Brady, and actors including Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana, Brad Pitt, Keira Knightly, and Bradley Cooper.
It's been 20 years since Richard Curtis dropped “LOVE ACTUALLY” on our nutsacks and this holiday romantic comedy remains prolific. As lauded as it is critiqued. It seems like this UK ensemble movie may never leave the zeitgeist of Holiday hits. It's here to stay. A tangential web of romance and sad attempts at romance. It has its ups and downs. “Love, Actually” is like a pie but you see that all the pieces are cut and each individual piece is its own flavor. There are a couple of pieces that are very good. Surprisingly good. A few pieces are fine. Typical of what they are but not bad. Then there's a piece that seems like apple but tastes like they put anise in it so it's kind of weird. Then you get to that one piece that you think is fudge but SURPRISE that piece is actually made of cat shit. “Love Actually” is that pie but how does the overall depth of the drama and comedy hold the film together? Bill Nighy, Hugh Grant, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth, Keira Knightly. That's only about a quarter of the full cast.

So, actually, we actually discuss what is actually one of our very favorite films, not actually just as a Christmas film, but actually just a great film altogether. Actually, we don't actually say actually anywhere near as much during the actual episode as we actually do in this episode summary, so there's no need to actually worry about that.Actually.

Voiced by actress, Keira Knightly, Charlotte, the movie is an animated drama that tells the true story of Charlotte Salomon, a young German-Jewish painter who comes of age in Berlin on the eve of the Second World War. Fiercely imaginative and deeply gifted, she dreams of becoming an artist. Her first love applauds her talent, which emboldens her resolve. But the world around her is changing quickly and dangerously, limiting her options, and derailing her dream. When anti-Semitic policies inspire violent mobs, she leaves Berlin for the safety of the South of France. There she begins to paint again and finds new love. But her work is interrupted, this time by a family tragedy that reveals an even darker secret. Believing that only the extraordinary will save her, she embarks on the monumental adventure of painting her life story, Life? or Theatre?At The Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, where the film was featured with Q &A on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day and National Film Day Canada, I sat down with Screenwriter, David Bezmozgis, to talk about how the film came to light and its relevance amidst the rise of antisemitism today.

A severely abused child, raised in the depths of the great depression grows into a depraved sadist, that terrorized Boston in the early 1960's. The Boston Police were nowhere near finding the Boston Strangler, until he confessed. A sting of rapes conducted prior to the thirteen murders should have tripped Albert DeSalvo up, however his murderous rampage would not be prevented. There is so much more to the story, in fact did you know that the Boston Strangler escaped from prison and also sold woman's "chokers" from his jail cell? A remake of the movie "The Boston Strangler" originally starring Tony Curtis is beginning filming December 2021. The new movie reportedly stars Keira Knightly.The victims of the Boston Strangler-Boston Globehttps://bit.ly/3wnFXjTThe Boston Strangler-Tony Curtis, Henry Fondahttps://amzn.to/3085PV5The Boston Strangler Biography Channel A & Ehttps://bit.ly/3CU8MqL

When the original Pirates of the Caribbean was released in 2003, career upticks were abound for all involved. The third sequel was supposed to mark the end of the franchise, so all the stars went their separate ways to do other projects. Orlando Bloom was everything from a romantic lead (Elizabethtown) to a sandal wearing swordsman (Kingdom of Heaven). Keira Knightly was a bounty hunter (Domino) and a fixture in period pieces (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice). So, when rumblings of another sequel in the Disney attraction based franchise started to get louder, the two stars had every reason to say thanks, but no thanks. However, third star Johnny Depp had a bomb called The Tourist in the rear view, and needed a hit. So, why not write a new entry starring its Oscar winning background character? That's exactly what they did, and the result, is Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides. Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they continue on the ride that is the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with this review of the fourth entry in the franchise. After being disappointed in their revisit of At Worlds End, can On Stranger Tides avoid the rough current of their words? Listen in to find out!

The movie that introduced us to Captain Jack Sparrow, the role that Johnny Depp is most known for (and got him an Oscar nomination) was released twenty years ago and spawned four sequels. It also made Keira Knightly a star and a household name and proved to everyone that you could, in fact, make a good movie based on a silly Disney ride. So how does the movie hold up after twenty years? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!!

Back in 1970, a group of women from the Womens Liberation movement stormed the stage of the Miss World Competition in front of an audience of millions on Television. When film maker Rebecca Frayn heard this story and found out that the evidence of the court case that put the patriarchy in the dock had been destroyed she spent a decade un-earthing the story to create a film with Keira Knightly as lead alongside Gugu Mbatha Raw that told the story in 2020. Before that she created a feature film of the story of Nobel Peace prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi and her exile in Burma under house arrest, missing the death of her husband and giving up the right to see her children or play a part ion their lives to serve her country. Rebecca began her career almost forty years ago and has also focussed on the stories of controversial but legendary German film director and photographer Leni Riefenstahl and unravels the true extent of her involvement with the Nazi party, A profile of the celebrated American photographer Annie Leibovitz, plus successful screen-writer and director, Nora Ephron who was trained by her mother from an early age to cannabalise her life for material. In todays episode, you will hear how Rebecca learned to speak up and get over her fear of public speaking and who inspired her to create and cover the stories of women globally. This is our first LIVE episode recorded at WOM Radio cafe for WOM-AN, a night of women storytellers, spoken word artists and poetic performances at the end of my very first Womens voice activation Retreat. We will unleash some of that LIVE material next week, but photos are on instagram: @theresetrebel.
Begin Again is the story of formerly successful record label executive Dan Mulligan played by Mark Ruffalo. Dan has fallen on tough times, he hasn't booked a successful artist on his record label in years, he is no longer living with his wife Miriam played by Catherine Keener, he has a strained relationship with his daughter Violet played by Hailee Steinfield, we believe Dan might also be abusing alcohol… so… it's not going well, until at a dingy bar he hears this beautiful song, being performed by Gretta James played by Keira Knightly… it's hauntingly beautiful and Dan decides THIS is what he's been looking for, he's going to make a record with Gretta… Gretta by the way, was previously dating Dave Kohl played by Adam Levine. They broke up in a really messy way, and when Dan meets Gretta it is her last night in LA before leaving. That's our lead in for Begin Again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been said that this is Close Reads Christmas. The last two days we have been revealing (on the Close Reads Facebook group and on the Goldberry Studios Instagram page) the books we will be discussing on the show in 2023. And now that the whole list has been unveiled it's time to share them all in one place. So jump in your car, grab your running shoes, start the laundry . . . prep for whatever you do when you're listening . . . and click play, because on this episode you can listen in as we decide what to listen to, winnowing the list from 35 finalists to 12 winners. Or just scroll down and check out the list. Either way, we're excited about this list and can't wait to dig into the books with you. Want to buy the books through Goldberry? Here's the list all in one place. Note: If you want to discover the list by listening don't read below this point. The ListPlease note this list is not the order in which the books will be discussed, which is still being determined. The Scarlet Letter / Nathaniel HawthorneThis first book won't surprise you, if you've been paying attention. It's a bonafide classic of American Lit. A book ruined by many a bad high school English class. It's one of those books that is outshined by its reputation far too often. We will be using Karen Swallow Prior's lovely edition--and, yes, she will be joining us!Persuasion / Jane AustenThis book is a classic, beloved for nearly two hundred years for its wit and wisdom. It's hilarious. It's poignent. And it features one of the great female characters in English literature.The Picture of Dorian Gray / Oscar WildeThis book has been requested many times over the years. It's a complex and mildly controversial example of a gothic novel. It's got it's detractors; it's got its super fans. It's super literary; it's pretty campy. It's a great novel for debate.Pygmalion / George Bernard ShawYou might primarily know our next book as the inspiration for a movie starring Audrey Hepburn, but it's great in its own right. It's our annual dive into a play. It's inspired by Greek mythology. It's absurdly readable.The Optimist's Daughter / Eudora WeltyOriginal Close Reader, Mary Jo Tate, has been singing the praises of our next author for years, and you know what, it is time. It's time to do a book by one of the great Southern writers, by one of the great female writers, by the one of the great American writers period. It is time to do a Eudora Welty novel.One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich / Alexander Solzhenitsyn Our next book is Tim' personal choice--and it's a worthy one. A book that is important for more than its literary merit, it also played a key role in revealing (and even changing) history. It isn't always easy to read, but it's a necessary inclusion in any list of the most essential books of the twentieth century.The Diary of a Country Priest / Georges Bernanos One of our favorite recurring genres here at Close Reads is what I will just call the Great Religious Novels of the twentieth century. Think, say, The Power and the Glory. The 2023 example of that is perhaps best known for being the inspiration for one of the great religious movies ever made (same name). It is French. It is pretty Catholic. It's lyrical.Things Fall Apart / Chinua Achebe This book may be relatively slight in terms of page count. It's one of the shorter novels we've done on Close Reads (although not the shortest we will read next year!). But it packs a literary punch in the form of a profound and influential historical novel.The Moving Toyshop / Edmund CrispinEvery year we try to read a mystery of some kind, typically during the dreary winter months. Well this year's mystery is a bit of a cult classic, a hilarious and fun murder mystery with a clever puzzle, delightful characters, and dazzling proze. It is one part Wodehouse, one part Dorothy Sayers.Everything Sad is Untrue / Daniel NayeriEvery year we give each of our contributors the opportunity to choose a book. We also like to do a children's novel every now and then. Well our next book for 2023 is Heidi White's choice, a delightful young adult novel that has been getting more buzz in this group than a post criticizing Keira Knightly.The Netanyahus / Joshua CohenDavid's choice, this 2021 novel is a strange, hilarious, melancholy, brilliant, bizarre, philosophical novel that some of you may find confounding but, hey, it DID just win the Pulitzer prize. It's about history. It's about Jewish culture. It's about America. It's a contemporary novel that offers a lot to think about.A Canticle for Liebowitz / William M. Miller Jr. Next year, our friend Sean Johnson, who has been on the East of Eden episodes, will be helping us out here and there, so we felt it was only right to let them him choose a book, too. Luckily, he chose a fascinating book that has been nominated a number of times over the last few years. It's a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel about monks in the American Southwest who are working to rebuild culture. It's an award-winning classic of the genre, that some critics claim is as good as Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh.Click here to claim your copies of these titles today through Goldberry Books.

Meet Roger Love Roger Love is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on voice. No other vocal coach in history has been more commercially successful in both the speaking and singing fields. Roger has produced over 150 million unit sales worldwide and has written three top-selling books. Roger coaches singers such as John Mayer and Selena Gomez, as well as speakers like Anthony Robbins and actors including Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana, Keira Knightly, and Bradley Cooper. Roger has generously offered a $50 gift certificate to learn how to harness your voice. It is waiting for you right now at http://rogerlove.com/julie You're about to learn new ways to overcome self-doubt and build confidence and the most important things no one's ever told you about using your voice to become a more successful entrepreneur and change-maker. How To Use Your Voice As An Instrument Roger Love is the absolute best in the world at helping you to use the power of your voice to bring out the best of who you are. Science proves that what we say is first processed emotionally, then logically. The emotions are first passed through the prefrontal cortex. In other words, it's not just the words that affect how you feel when someone speaks to you. A myriad of variables, like pitch, volume, and melody, will have you decide if you trust or like the person speaking. Roger has created innovative and incredibly powerful techniques to develop your voice as an instrument that you can use in any way you choose. Listen in to learn some of these brilliant strategies like ascending and descending scales. Hint: you were probably taught early on the wrong way to use your voice, and this one tip could make a massive difference in the way others perceive you and your message. Tune in to learn how to use the power of your voice to make a larger impact. Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking Did you know that the fear of public speaking is one of the biggest fears? Ironically, speaking in public, be it on stage, within your company, making a pitch, or leading others is an essential skill. Roger Love shares how to use the voice's building blocks and the five-voice variables to be an effective communicator. But still, it's crucial to use them in the right way, and how you use you use the building blocks is dependent on the emotion you want to evoke. As you learn how to use your voice and build confidence, how to get over a fear of public speaking becomes a non-issue. The Five Key Variables Of Your Voice I bet you didn't know that there are 5 aspects to your voice. And with practice, you can learn to evoke and tap into the 23 main emotions, like gratitude, empathy, and even anger, at any time. Roger trains some leading actors and celebrities, as well as speakers and leaders, on eliciting any emotion they want to communicate. These 5 main variables or voice building blocks are: Pitch Volume Melody Tune Pace Understanding The Power of Your Voice You may not realize it, but knowing how to breathe (Roger gave a really fun demo in the interview) can change the way you speak and sound. Most of us breathe through our mouths or speak without enough breath. Roger Love calls this phenomenon 'Vocal Fry', and it sounds like you're out of breath. If you're looking to speak more --- be it on stage, on a podcast, in front of colleagues, or at an event, tune in so you can use the power of your voice to do this properly. We had a blast practicing how to breathe through the nose and speak while the air is leaving your diaphragm. Final Thoughts Roger Love was such a joy to have on the show sharing his knowledge as a vocal coach. Who knew that how to get over a fear of public speaking can lie in the power of your voice?
