![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The pulse points that most fascinate me are relations between Hepburn and other female luminaries, including Colette, Edith Head, Deborah Kerr, Leslie Caron, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, Marni Nixon, Julie Andrews, Mia Farrow, Jeanne Moreau, Merle Oberon, Capucine and Cher. The new biography of Audrey Hepburn, by Barry Paris, a writer already praised for his books on Louise Brooks and Garbo, is an acute, tender-hearted and entertaining dish of Hepburn facts – he interviewed friends and family, and has a sharp eye for her film-work’s idiosyncrasies more important, he offers a grid for dream inquiries into star consciousness. Rather, we may use star chronicles as springboards for philosophical investigations, however careless and impromptu, into our own sightlines. Such moments dominate a certain 20th century, and so it is a mistake to consider a star biography as merely the linear tale of a performing life’s progress. Few writers have tried to describe ineffable instances of stars perceiving other stars and stars perceiving their own stardom. Huge gulfs divide a star in daily life from a star on screen the style in which a star executes an action (film role, household chore, errand, ambassadorial mission) is not the style in which she secretly contemplates her colleagues. Though I am interested in their behaviour, I am more interested in the curves and austerities of their cognition. I read star biographies to find out how stars see themselves and how they see each other. ![]() ![]() Whittlesey, 68, retired in early May, relocating near Livingston, Montana, 50 miles from Yellowstone’s northern entrance. ![]() Those words from The Organic Act of 1916 inspired Whittlesey throughout his nearly 50-year career-minus a few years here and there in the “real world”-in various positions in Yellowstone, both with the NPS and the private sector. During a nearly 50-year career at Yellowstone National Park, Lee Whittlesey drew inspiration from the act of Congress establishing the National Park Service: “… to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Other kid projects include an award-winning audio book, a poetry collection, and Jack Attack, his first YA novel.

To that end, in order to put together our list of the 100 best sci-fi movies ever made, we asked a wide-ranging panel of experts, from Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse, to Oscar-decorated film director Guillermo del Toro, to Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin, along with a few regular old Time Out writers. They deal with relatable issues and themes, not just the geeks writing novel-length theoretical treatises on fan forums. Science-fiction films might frequently create entirely new worlds, but the best of them do what any good movie should do and tell us about the world we actually live in. But the reality is that sci-fi was never meant to appeal only to a small niche. In fact, that’s been true long enough that for a certain generation, it probably seems bizarre that the genre wasn’t always so popular. ![]() Science fiction isn’t just for nerds anymore. ![]() ![]() that if a person understood the soul of a horse then he would understand all the horses that ever were" (p.
