6:34 He really understood the assignment in Mamma Mia! there.😂 I enjoyed his confidence & chaotic joy throughout. His performances are ones I start to appreciate as I grew up and you can see his sons adopt similar skills.

I’ve seen him in a million things and I’ve known who he is for many, many years now, but still, it’s a little shocking to see this condensed list of his filmography and reflecting on _just how many_ iconic roles in big productions he’s been in. And bizarrely, instead of aging out, some of my favorite roles he’s been in have been in just the last decade, and they seem to be getting more frequent! Anyway, just thankful to have his presence in modern cinema. He’s always lent a sense of authenticity to every production he’s been in.

I like him more every time I see more interviews with him. With most actors it’s the opposite.

“Star Wars for grownups”. That’s well said. Andor was excellent it was beautifully written, it had interesting characters, and it dealt with real issues.

The way Stellan talks about Robin Williams is just so present as if he’s still around….

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
