Look, I’ll be honest, Fran Drescher isn’t rushing back to traditional sitcoms. She’s not saying never to TV, but it has to be something she really believes in and, crucially, has creative control over. She’s made it clear she wants to be more than just an actress – she’s talking about writing, producing, even directing! She misses that full creative involvement she had during her peak years.

Right now, though, Drescher is having a fantastic moment in film. She’s absolutely killing it in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, which came out late last year and has been a huge success. Timothée Chalamet is brilliant as a 1950s ping pong whiz, and Drescher plays his mother, Rebecca Mauser, with incredible depth. The movie’s been a massive hit for A24 – over $150 million worldwide – and everyone’s raving about Drescher’s dramatic performance. She’s surrounded by an amazing cast too, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, the Creator. It’s a real career resurgence for her, and it’s wonderful to see.

Despite being inspired by many filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino consistently names Sergio Leone’s 1966 film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, as his favorite. While his preferences can change, he always comes back to this classic.

This film, which concludes Leone’s Dollars Trilogy, stars Clint Eastwood as the memorable character “Blondie,” with strong performances from Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. Tarantino deeply admires this spaghetti western because of the significant influence Leone had on his own directing style.

He’s stated that Leone is the single most influential artist in his work, praising the filmmaker’s dramatic, almost theatrical approach and how he uses music to control the rhythm of the story. Tarantino has clearly adopted Leone’s technique of using large, impressive scenes in his own films.

Margot Robbie was understandably nervous when she started working on a Martin Scorsese film, finding herself among many experienced actors. She jokingly confessed to taking a small drink – a couple of shots of tequila – to help her get through her first scene with Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite feeling insecure and believing she’d blend into the background of such a large movie, Robbie delivered a standout performance that ultimately launched her career, leading to her success as the star and producer of the hugely popular Barbie movie.
