Michelle Pfeiffer is currently filming “Margo’s Got Money Problems,” the Apple TV+ series adaptation of the bestselling novel co-starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, in Los Angeles. In the last 20 years or so, Pfeiffer says of the 23 projects she’s worked on, only three have shot in the city.
“That’s crazy,” the three-time Oscar nominee told me Friday, following her hand and footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Like so many people in television and movies, Pfeiffer worries Los Angeles is on the verge of no longer being an industry town.
“I don’t know lot about the politics of it all, but I know you need to bring back tax incentives,” Pfeiffer said. “People look at the bottom line for productions — where are we going to get the most for our dollars because you want all that money to go on screen, and if...

The Sundance Film Festival chose well in selecting the honorees for tonight’s Gala fundraiser at the newly opened Grand Hyatt Deer Valley.
Beyond freshly minted Oscar nominees Cynthia Erivo and James Mangold in the house to receive the Visionary Award and Trailblazer Award respectively, it was Michelle Satter — the Founding Senior Director of Artists Program for the Sundance Institute — whose stirring speech unified the high-profile packed ballroom.
Satter was recognized for her decades-long commitment to nurturing artists and cultivating independent film through the Sundance Labs. As many in the room knew and as Satter mentioned, she and her husband David Latt were among the thousands who lost their homes in the wildfires that scorched LA. Horribly, this tragedy came after Satter and Latt’s youngest son Michael, an advocate in the industry for social justice, was fatally shot in November 2023 at his Miracle Mile home in a senseless murder.

This will do little to heal the wounds of loss, but Lady Justice may have brought some sense of relief today. The woman who fatally shot Michael Latt in November 2023 will be behind bars for decades and decades, a judge made clear Wednesday.
Charged with murder by authorities late last year, Jameelah Elena Michl was sentenced to 35 years to life. In his sentence L.A. Superior Court Judge Kerry White ordered Michl to serve her time in a California state prison. The odds of the 37-year-old Michl ever stepping outside the prison gates is pretty slim.
The sentence is the maximum available to the judge under California law.
Arrested mere days after shooting and killing the beloved studio marketer and social justice advocate in his mid-Wilshire home, Michl has been in custody since November 27, 2023 when she was arrested at the scene of the crime. Held on a $3 million bail since then,...

With no Vanity Fair party to go to after the Oscars — the magazine opted for series of virtual events leading up to the the 93rd Academy Awards instead of throwing its annual after-party — Hollywood found other ways to cap off the industry’s biggest night of the year. The Sunset Tower hotel became a place to be on Sunday following the ceremony at Union Station so much so that paparazzi and autograph seekers lined the entrance to the legendary West Hollywood landmark.
Glenn Close was the first star to arrive shortly after the credits rolled on the Oscars. The eight-time nominee — and very impressive “Da Butt” dancer — arrived solo, but was met by her daughter, “Ratched” actor Annie Starke and her husband Marc Albu, at their poolside table as well as by applause by several fellow diners.

When Glenn Close picked up a Golden Globe for her performance in The Wife last week, her acceptance speech reduced some of the biggest players in Hollywood to tears. And for good reason. Close talked about not allowing yourself to be be subjugated by others, and how it’s not too late to acknowledge a long-held dream–relatable stuff for so many, and entirely on topic for her winning role.
As Joan Castleman, Close is the titular wife accompanying her celebrated novelist husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) to Stockholm to accept his Nobel Prize for Literature–a story based on Meg Wolitzer’s 2003 book of the same name. Joan is by turns nurturing and then simmering with a deep rage at having lived a life that led to her husband collecting a prize she herself deserved.
