Ray Fisher became internationally recognizable as the technologically enhanced superhero Cyborg, but his career began far from the world of comic book blockbusters. The American actor developed his craft through theater before making the leap to major Hollywood productions. His upbringing, particularly the influence of his mother and grandmother, helped shape the values he later carried into his professional life. When Fisher encountered difficulties behind the scenes of Justice League, he chose to speak publicly about his experience. That decision became an important part of a career increasingly ****** ociated with both performance and workplace accountability.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Fisher grew up in Lawnside, New Jersey, in a large family raised primarily by his mother and grandmother. He has described both women as his real life superheroes, praising the determination and strength they demonstrated while he was growing up. His interest in acting became serious during high school, when encouragement from a teacher led him to audition for theatrical productions.
Fisher continued developing as a stage performer and eventually established himself in professional theater. One of his most demanding early roles was Muhammad Ali in the Off Broadway production Fetch Clay, Make Man. Preparing to portray the legendary boxer required substantial physical transformation as well as the ability to capture Ali's confidence and personality. The experience demonstrated the discipline Fisher could bring to a role before Hollywood audiences became familiar with him.
His major screen opportunity arrived when Zack Snyder selected him to play Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg, in the DC film universe. Fisher made a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before receiving a much larger role in Justice League. Production changed significantly after Snyder left the project and Joss Whedon took over during post production. The theatrical version released in 2017 reduced much of Cyborg's original storyline.
In 2020, Fisher publicly accused Whedon of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior during the Justice League reshoots. WarnerMedia subsequently conducted an investigation after Fisher raised concerns involving the production. In December 2020, the company announced that the investigation had concluded and that remedial action had been taken, without publicly detailing what those measures involved.

M*A*S*H star Alan Alda recently sat down with CBS Sunday Morning's Dr. Jon LaPook, revealing a nightmarish story from his childhood. When the actor was seven, he battled polio, and like tens of thousands of other Americans during the 1950s and 60s, the now-eliminated virus left Alda with serious symptoms at the time.
Alda explained, "I had polio before there was a vaccine. It was pretty hard to experience." He continued, contextualizing the experience, "My father had just gotten a huge part, his first big part, playing George Gershwin in the biopic of Gershwin. And about a week after he started shooting, I got polio." Of course, Alda was referring to Robert Alda, the vaudeville, Broadway, and alter, film star.
And here's where the story takes an even scarier turn. "He and my mother had to administer the treatment, which was almost scalding hot packs of wool on every limb. So they're practically torturing their kid. I remember thinking it was hard on them. There's a little bit of empathy. But I knew it was hard for them." Despite the harsh treatments, Alda was, as he described, "All stiff and I couldn't walk. I was affected in every limb but one arm."
If you're wondering what Carol Burnett has to do with the M*A*S*H star's scalding wool treatment, he shared, "She lived about two blocks away while I was in my house with polio. I would stand on the bed and look out the window and see kids playing, and I was waiting for the time I'd be out there playing with them."

Megan Thee Stallion had one tiny problem while filming with Daniel Radcliffe: She kept seeing Harry Potter. The rapper admitted she struggled to separate Radcliffe from his iconic role while filming NBC's The Fall and Rise of Reggie ****** ins.
The unexpected fangirl moment came during a packed year for Megan. Alongside her acting work, she made her Broadway debut, navigated a breakup, and continued shaping her delayed Act III album.
Megan discussed the experience in a new interview with Marie Claire. She played Denise, a divorced mail carrier who developed a flirtation with Radcliffe's documentary filmmaker character, Arthur Tobin. "I was on that set, calling that man Harry Potter all day," Megan admitted.
Radcliffe apparently took the teasing well. Megan said their easy friendship helped create their chemistry onscreen. "Daniel made me feel so, so, so comfortable," she said. "We were literally talking and joking the whole time. I think that's why the chemistry was so good." Radcliffe returned the compliment, praising Megan's willingness to jump into acting. "We were honestly so lucky to get Megan to be on the show," he said.
He added that guest stars of her stature usually took longer to join established shows. Radcliffe called her "a total pro, a delight to work with, and really ****** funny." The role added another credit to Megan's expanding acting résumé. She also appeared in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Big Mouth, ****** s: The Musical and Mean Girls.

Laura Bell Bundy's childhood theater résumé includes an unlikely casting sequence: Britney Spears and Natalie Portman both served as her understudy in the same Off-Broadway musical before either became famous.
Bundy originated Tina Denmark in the 1992 production of Ruthless!, with Spears holding the understudy job first and Portman replacing her later. "Britney Spears was my understudy," Bundy recalled during a new episode of Hey Dude... The 90s Called!, according to Entertainment Weekly. "And then Natalie Portman was my understudy when Britney left."
Tina is an eight-year-old performer determined to play Pippi Longstocking in her school musical, with the dark comedy taking that ambition to murderous extremes. Bundy was still a child herself when she took on the role that became one of her first major stage credits.
Ruthless! opened at New York's Players Theatre on March 13, 1992 and ran for 342 performances before closing Jan. 24, 1993.
Bundy told PEOPLE that Spears was only a few months younger than she was. She remembered knowing Spears during the production but said the two did not spend much time playing together outside work.

Tom Hiddleston has a very special plus-one.
The Golden Globe-winning actor was joined on the red carpet by his fiancée, British actress Zawe Ashton, at a screening for his new film "Tenzing" Thursday, Oct. 1.
Hiddleston, donning a suede navy blue suit and multicolored tie, posed with his partner, who wore a cream two-tiered dress featuring an embroidered pattern.
Hiddleston and Ashton, who went public with their romance in 2021, have previously shared the stage, performing together at a classic literature reading in 2018, followed by back-to-back West End and Broadway revivals of the Harold Pinter play "Betrayal" in 2019.
The couple announced their engagement in 2022, the same year they welcomed their first child together. Ashton gave birth to their second child in 2025.

Billy Crystal stopped by Wednesday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to explain the origins of his new, one-man Broadway show and reveal why he is "so grateful" that he gets to actually bring it to audiences.
Crystal **** led the show "860," which was the street address of the house that he and his family lived in for 46 years before it was destroyed last year in California's devastating Palisades Fire. In the aftermath of his home's destruction, Crystal said he began to impulsively film and document every moment on his phone, starting with shots of first responders' planes flying overhead to drop water on the fires.
"I started filming the planes coming over and all that stuff, and I never stopped filming. Whenever there was another event happening, I would just capture everything," Crystal said, adding, "I started, in my mind, writing a narrative about everything that was happening. I didn't know what form it was going to take. It might have been a documentary. It might have just been for us, you know? It kept the pain away from me."
"Over time, I started writing stories that went along with the videos that I was taking," Crystal continued. "It started to be not only very dramatic, but also really funny because most of it takes place inside the house."

Bob Mackie, the Emmy- and Tony-winning fashion and costume designer whose glittering creations helped define the images of Cher, Carol Burnett, Diana Ross and countless other entertainers, died Sept. 14, 2026, at age 87.

Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The planned West End revival of Sunday in the Park with George has been delayed to 2028.
Empire Street Productions announced Monday that the musical "will no longer proceed as scheduled" in 2027, with the company to "retain the rights with a view to presenting the production in 2028."
The news follows word that Wicked co-stars Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey have dropped out of the production. Grande announced in August that she "will be taking a step back from visibility" after the conclusion of her Eternal Sunshine tour, with Bailey later confirming he has "decided to also step back" from the revival.
Sunday in the Park with George features music and lyrics by famed composer Stephen Sondheim. The musical, inspired by the Georges Seurat painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, debuted on Broadway in 1984 and on West End in 2006.
Marianne Elliot was to direct the West End revival, which was originally scheduled to open at London's Barbican Centre in summer 2027.

The energy outside Cipriani, in Lower Manhattan, across from the Charging Bull statue on Broadway, seemed conspicuously suspended in a different time. It was as if crossing the threshold into the Financial District sent me back a decade, to the genesis of this current generation's cultural aesthetic—to the lines at VFiles, the SoHo clothing store whose Howard St. storefront once served as epicenter of the nascent fusion of the worlds of streetwear, hip-hop, and high fashion. All of this was because Kai Cenat, the popular Twitch streamer and content creator, was making his runway debut. The fashion show for his brand Vivet's first collection drew a crowd of the current generation's innovators, giving a reminiscent feeling to the last time a popular figure came crashing through the gates of mainstream fashion.
In attendance that night were popular streamers like Jasontheween, Rakai, and Duke Dennis, alongside more traditional celebrity names: Jaden Smith, Luka Sabbat, Lauryn Hill (!). Popular fashion podcasters and journalists from the New York Times filtered through the crowd as well. It reminded me of the pre-pandemic days of fashion week pop-ups in the shadow of Ye's YZY Szn launches, when the crowds outside seemed as consequential as whoever had a seat inside. Social media had given a generation of streetwear obsessives and aspiring artists a way to build their own audiences, and fashion was beginning to accommodate them. At Cipriani, the streamers had brought another audience into the room.

Ella Beatty opened up about growing up in the "most loving" family, which happened to have three of Hollywood's biggest stars
Ella followed in the footsteps of her parents, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, when she decided to become an actor
Fans in the comments remarked how similar Ella looks to Warren's older sister Shirley MacLaine
Ella Beatty is reflecting on her famous family — and some fans can't believe her resemblance to her famous aunt.
Ella, 26, opened up about her family in a Sept. 10 interview with Extra. She is the daughter of legendary actors Annette Bening and Warren Beatty. Warren, 89, followed in the footsteps of his older sister, Shirley MacLaine (who adapted her mother's maiden name for her stage name), when he got into acting. MacLaine, now 92, appeared on Broadway in the early 1950s as Warren was studying in New York City at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

NASHVILLE – The only thing more chaotic than Broadway in Nashville on Sunday night was Nissan Stadium about five miles away.
What started out as a deeply flawed first-half offensive performance from Louisville ended in a second-half shootout between the Cardinals and No. 10 Ole Miss.
The Cardinals tied the game, 24-24, just before the end of the third quarter, but the Rebels had more firepower. Ole Miss outlasted Louisville, 41-38, Music City Kickoff victory. It's the first season-opening loss in the Jeff Brohm era of Louisville football.
Lincoln Kienholz got off to a rocky start but became the star that the Cardinals needed late in the game. The Ohio State transfer quarterback answered 14 straight Rebels points with a 54-yard touchdown pass to Lawayne McCoy and a 7-yard TD run in a little more than three minutes for a 38-all tie late in the fourth quarter.
But Ole Miss got the ball back with 1:28 remaining in regulation and barely escaped with a 48-yard field goal.

Lea Salonga has spent decades giving some of Disney's best-known heroines their singing voices. On Friday, Hollywood finally put her own name in the pavement, with several performers who understood exactly how far that voice had traveled standing beside her.
Salonga received the 2,855th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on September 4, becoming the first Filipina to receive the honor. Her star was dedicated in the Live Performance category outside the Pantages Theatre, where Brandy, Ming-Na Wen and Darren Criss joined her for the ceremony, according to BroadwayWorld. H.E.R. was also among those in attendance.
Brandy connected Salonga's Broadway career to the millions who first knew her as the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and Mulan in Mulan. "There are singers who reach notes. Lea reaches hearts and souls," she told the crowd, later describing Salonga as someone who had "left the doorway open" for the artists who followed.
Salonga looked toward the next person instead. Recalling the little girl in the Philippines who simply loved to perform, she said she hopes a young Filipino child eventually finds her star in Hollywood and thinks, "Oh, maybe I can get here too."
Brandy's tribute centered on what Salonga's voice represented before many young viewers even knew the name of the performer behind it. Through Jasmine and Mulan, she said, Salonga gave children who had felt outside the fairy tale a way into it.

Linda Purl did not spend her 71st birthday surrounded by a red carpet, cameras or an elaborate Hollywood party. She picked up a cake, went hiking and handled a few errands around Los Angeles.
The Happy Days actress was photographed on Sept. 2 wearing a red baseball cap, long-sleeve blue top and black pants while stopping at a Gelson's market for her birthday cake, according to Page Six.
Purl also went on a solo hike before friends later joined her at home for a small celebration. The low-key outing offered a rare candid look at an actress whose television career stretches from one of the defining sitcoms of the 1970s to roles on Matlock, The Office, Homeland and Hacks.
Purl is still acting, touring as a jazz vocalist and recording music, and she is preparing to return Off-Broadway later this month while continuing the life and business she has built with fellow television veteran Patrick Duffy.
The photographs show a birthday that looked deliberately ordinary. Purl collected her cake at Gelson's, completed other errands and spent part of the day hiking alone before friends came to her home later for a small celebration.

Before Melissa Joan Hart played the supernatural student in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," she starred opposite Calista Flockhart in the off-Broadway production "Beside Herself."
While starring in the 1989 production, a young Hart found an unexpected mentor in the "Ally McBeal" star, she tells USA TODAY.
"I was about 10, 11, and she was young. She was like 18," Hart says. "She used to have me come over to her house and do sleepovers and she'd give me her hand-me-down clothes. I watched the way she prepped for work."
Joe Pintauro's play "Beside Herself" follows a woman named Mary from four different stages of her life. Hart played a pre-teen Mary, while Flockhart played the role in her post-teen years.
In between shows, Hart and Flockhart would stop at New York's Bleecker Street Pizza for a slice. Hart also remembers taking notes on Flockhart's stretching routine and breathing exercises ahead of shows.

The marquees for all 41 Broadway theatres will be dimmed in honor of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Clive Davis and more stars who've recently passed away.
On Wednesday, the Broadway In Memoriam Committee confirmed the list of late honorees. On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the marquees will dim at 6:45 p.m. ET. Gina Ferrall, Josh Grisetti, Jeff Hamlin, Glen Hansard, Louise Lasser, Anna Louizos, Seth Marquette, Anne Russell, James Walsh and Harold Wheeler will also be honored.
In 2025, the Broadway In Memoriam Committee created a quarterly tradition called Broadway in Memoriam to honor individuals who left their mark on the Great White Way. The mass dimming now takes place four times a year on the second Tuesday of September, December, March and June.
Parton wrote the music and lyrics for the 2009 stage adaptation of "9 to 5," which received four Tony Award nominations, including one for her original score. The singer's second show, "Dolly: A True Original Musical" will begin previews Dec. 7 at the St. James Theatre in New York City with an opening set for Jan. 19, 2027, on what would have been her 81st birthday. Parton announced the Broadway engagement in July.
The production will tell her story through some of her biggest hits, including "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You," alongside new songs she wrote specifically for the musical. Parton co-wrote the show's book with two-time Emmy winner Maria S. Schlatter. Tony winner Bartlett Sher is directing, with "So You Think You Can Dance" and "La La Land" choreographer Mandy Moore choreographing the production.

Tom Felton reflected on what went into filming the Harry Potter epilogue for 2011's Deathly Hallows — Part 2 time jump
Fifteen years later, he is currently reprising the role of Draco in the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage play on Broadway
The actor joked that his current appearance in 2026 is "more flattering" than the version of adult Draco in the film
Tom Felton is reflecting on what it was like to film the epilogue for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2.
Fifteen years after the final Harry Potter film was released in 2011, Felton, 38, said that the epilogue time jump required "a lot of research into what we would look like 19 years later." The epilogue showed the main characters — including Felton's Draco Malfoy, Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter, Rupert Grint's Ron Weasley and Emma Watson's Hermione Granger — as adult parents sending their children to Hogwarts.

It's been a rough week for celebrity deaths. Just one day after Dolly Parton's death was announced, it was revealed that the iconic Tim Curry also died at 80. Generations of fans have been mourning these losses, and for the latter, that includes the Rocky Horror Picture Show community, which is a thriving one based around the cult classic movie. In fact, The Rocky Horror Show is currently on Broadway, and Luke Evans penned a sweet letter to Curry from one Frank-N-Furter to another.
Luke Evans rocked his fishnets and heels as Frank in The Rocky Horror Show, earning a Tony nomination in the process. While he recently ended his tenure in the role, he returned last night to do a tribute to Tim Curry. He also took to Instagram to pay his respects and reveal that he recently wrote a letter to the OG Frank. In his words:
Three weeks ago, I wrote a letter to Tim Curry. I want to share it with you, he was a force, a bright fierce flame, an exquisite charm and that rich vocal tone, he was an inspiration to me and so many more people for the roles he played and the effect he had on so many of us. There will only be one Tim Curry. All the rest of us will just have to do our best to emulate some of the magic that role I've just spent 7 months playing.

Dylan Sprouse had barely started his question before warning the two theater people sitting across from him that they might not like where it was going.
During the August 25 episode of Wildmen, Sprouse told cohost Brendan Columbus and comedian Gianmarco Soresi that moving from California to New York exposed him to a theater culture he initially struggled to understand. "It took me a while to get along with any theater person because I do...find them intensely nerdy," he said, according to Entertainment Weekly.
His problem had a soundtrack. At NYU, some of Sprouse's new theater friends would suddenly break into show tunes during ordinary conversations. He was coming from California and listening to Avenged Sevenfold, which he readily admitted was "equally as nerdy."
The judgment did not last. Sprouse said moving to New York eventually changed his understanding of people who deeply love theater, even if he still does not routinely seek out Broadway shows himself.
Sprouse introduced the subject by asking Columbus and Soresi, "Can I ask you both this as theater people?" He then acknowledged that his reaction to theater enthusiasts was not particularly charitable when he first encountered more of them.

Susan Sarandon, his co-star in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, posted a throwback image of the two with a caption that read, "What a funny, ***** y, original he was.
