Early life and education Gladstone was born in 1986. Raised on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, Montana, she is of Piegan Blackfeet, Nez Perce, and European heritage and grew up on the reservation of the Blackfeet Nation.

One of their paternal great-great grandfathers was Red Crow, a Kainai Nation chief. They have cited the desire to portray an Ewok after watching Return of the Jedi at the age of 5 as inspiring her to become an actress. One of Gladstone's first acting experiences as a child was when the Missoula Children's Theatre came to East Glacier to put on Cinderella and she was cast as one of the evil stepsisters. Gladstone's family moved to the Seattle area during their middle school years to be closer to their grandmother. There she was enrolled in Stone Soup Theatre, a non profit educational theatre company for the Seattle youth, which then led to starring in student films and theses. They graduated from Mountlake Terrace High School in Mountlake Terrace, Washington in 2004. Gladstone attended the University of Montana where she studied Theatre of the Oppressed. At UM, they performed in Riders to the Sea (2006), Richard III (2006), Miss Julie (2007) and Coyote on a Fence (2008). She graduated in 2008 with a BFA in Acting/Directing and a minor in Native American Studies. Upon graduating, she taught acting classes and workshops in her native community. She taught an image theatre acting method they called a "sculpture garden" as violence prevention sponsored by the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center. In 2010, she performed in The Frybread Queen, a co-production by Native Voices at the Autry, the UM School of Theatre and Dance and The Montana Repertory Theatre. Career Gladstone made their film debut in Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian (2012). She then acted in Winter in the Blood (2012) and Buster's Mal Heart (2016) before making her career breakthrough as Jamie, a rancher, in Kelly Reichardt's film Certain Women (2016). The role earned Gladstone the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also received nominations for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female and Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor. Gladstone performed the role of Kate Keller in the 2014 Montana Repertory Theatre's national touring production of The Miracle Worker. Gladstone was in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival acting company in 2017 and starred in the Yale Repertory Theatre production of Mary Kathryn Nagle's Manahatta in 2020.

Gladstone starred in the 2022 film The Unknown Country, directed by Morrisa Maltz, for which they received the Gotham Independent Film Award for Outstanding Lead Performance. She had a small role in Reichardt's 2019 film First Cow before being cast in the lead role of Mollie Kyle in Martin Scorsese's feature film Killers of the Flower Moon, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, which was released theatrically in October 2023. Their performance received critical acclaim and was described as a highlight of the film. Critic Josh Spiegel of /Film said that she "brought [Mollie] to life with incredible passion". In 2024, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama; they were the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for, and the first to win, an acting Golden Globe. Personal life Gladstone goes by both she and they pronouns. Gladstone says, "In most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns. There is no he/she, there's only they... my pronoun use is partly a way of decolonizing gender for myself." Source: wikipedia

Cute dress.

I'm kinda into the scruffy look I have to admit (even though he could have smiled once).

GG after party with Vittoria They're dogs looking pretty strong too lol

‘Anyone But You’ Rises to #1 at the Box-Office “Anyone But You,” a $25 million rom-com, starring Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney has risen to #1 at the domestic box-office. This, on its 18th day of release. The film has made $45 million at the domestic box office, so far. Many thought this should’ve gone direct to streaming, but it actually grew its box office by 9% this weekend. When all is said and done, it could even top $100 million worldwide.

Some good news at last for the actor Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise Signs Massive Film Deal With Warner Bros — Here's Why This Could Be Great News I’ve been waiting it out a bit before reporting this news. I’ll tell you why in a moment. According to Deadline, Tom Cruise has signed a new deal with Warner Bros which would allow him to produce and star in movies for WB. This is said to be a non-exclusive deal, so Cruise can still work with Paramount — where he’s currently shooting a new ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie and ‘Top Gun 3’ is in the works. I’m thinking WB hopes he wraps up whatever prior obligations he has over at Paramount and starts making movies with them in the near future. I’m also not sure where this leaves his Doug Liman shot-in-space movie (Universal) — maybe it’s dead. Cruise is 61, it’s not like he has decades of films left in him. It’s far too early to know exactly what he might work on, but it’s clear WB wants to team up with him, and it doesn’t sound like it’s for IP or franchise stuff either. This is a multi-film deal and, except for “Edge of Tomorrow,” there is no other old Cruise/Warner title I can think of that could warrant a sequel — unless Zaslav is hyped up for “Eyes Wide Shut 2.” Warner is likely where Cruise will make his “gnarly and violent” R-rated original film with Christopher McQuarrie. I cannot wait for that one. Fact of the matter is that Cruise is one of the last true movie stars left. He can still turn in a hit on name recognition alone. However, here is what gets me very excited about this WB deal … Cruise has been mostly dabbling in action for the last decade, but his talents as a dramatic actor are undeniable — further proof can be found in seminal performances such as “Magnolia,” “Collateral” and “Born on the Fourth of July.” These last 15 or so years, Cruise’s focus on big budget franchise films, especially the ‘Mission: Impossible’ stuff, haws amassed a large audience, but with ‘Dead Reckoning — Part One’ underperforming at the box-office, maybe now is the time for Cruise to hop on-board original films again and showcase his vastly underused talents as an actor.

81st Annual Golden Globe Awards (January 07, 2024)

Still hoping this isn't Leos "secrect" next project 🤣🤞 Martin Scorsese Plans to Direct His 80-Minute ‘Jesus’ Movie Later This Year

First of all congrats to Lily Source Well deserved even though I still haven't seen POOR THINGS and can say nothing about Emmas performance which seems also hella strong. Happy for Cillian Source Also congrats to Paul Giamatti (not a surprise he won). I would have loved to see Ken winning but I'm also happy for Iron Man. Nolan winning - well not a surprise but also kinda meh. Even though he's one of a few directors bringing the crowds into cinema with his name alone. That's something I guess. I'm surprised KOTFM didn't even make it in best score. Oppenheimer winning best picture is fine with me - I guess. Still haven't seen many of the BP contenders so it's hard to tell. But I liked it better than Maestro (Sry Cooper) lol

How Rachel Zegler really became the most hated woman in Hollywood Rachel Zegler is a 22-year-old movie star. But if you happen across any comments about her on social media, you could be forgiven for mistaking her as a person caught kicking a puppy. Maybe even a serial puppy kicker. The response to her very existence has been that overwhelmingly negative. The reason why is not as complicated as you might expect. At this point, I'm willing to declare myself the leader of the Leave Rachel Zegler Alone movement. From where I'm standing, her greatest sin, and the reason she has been seen as the 'most hated woman in Hollywood' is simply having theatre-kid energy. How very dare she. In the past couple of years, she has found herself carrying Hollywood's unenviable 'annoying woman' torch. Previous torchbearers include Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence, so... at least she's in good company? What seems to set Zegler apart from these other famous names, however, is that she hasn't had a fall from grace, or had the public switch-up on her after a period of being the Golden Girl. The worst part about the Zegler example is that this – the weirdly overbearing public hate – has always been her story. At 16, Zegler was quite literally plucked out of high school by Steven Spielberg to play Maria in his remake of West Side Story after she responded to an open casting call on Twitter in 2018 with a video of herself singing. The film was released in December 2021. It wasn't very successful at the box office, but critics loved it and Zegler even won a Golden Globe. Unfortunately for her, the promotion and release of the film was overshadowed by negativity that for some unfortunate reason (like perhaps, the fact that she was a young woman), fell almost squarely on her shoulders. In June 2020, when West Side Story was in post-production, a Twitter user accused the film's lead actor Ansel Elgort of sexually assaulting her in 2014, when she was 17 and he was 20. Conveniently, Elgort did minimal press when the film was released that following year, leading to Zegler and her fellow female cast mates being constantly expected to answer for his allegations. What she did say ("You just hope that the people involved are OK, that they are asked in a respectful manner and that they are given the opportunity to answer for themselves," she told the Hollywood Reporter) was considered by those following the story as a weak response. In mid-2022, she told Elle the questions drastically impacted her mental health. "I was sitting there having just turned 19, on the precipice of what was promised to be the biggest moment in my life, and was being held accountable [by the public] for accusations that not only had nothing to do with me but were made about a situation that was said to have occurred [five] years prior to when I had met and worked with this person," she said, reflecting on the press tour. "With no thought to the fact that I was also 17 when I met this person, 17 when I worked with them, 17 and 18 when I had to do love scenes." After its release, West Side Story was nominated for the most prestigious award in film: a Best Picture Oscar. She was one of the film's leads, so many assumed she would be in attendance at the ceremony. That was until Zegler responded to a fan question about what she was wearing to say actually, no, she wasn't invited. At the time, she was filming for Disney's Snow White in the UK. After her tweet blew up and she admitted to being disappointed at not be able to support West Side Story in person, she was offered a presenting role at the ceremony. She attended, aided by a shift in Snow White's production schedule. The outrage to this was *wild*. How dare she pause a (Disney) production to celebrate the success of another (Disney) production? How much money is she costing DISNEY? Who does she think she is? Such a diva! Let's speed run through the other Zegler moments that the internet had an overwhelming problem with. "What made you wanna step into this world of DC heroes?" she was asked at the premiere of her second-ever film, Shazam! Fury of the Gods. "I needed a job," she replied. "I'm being so serious." Wow she is so disrespectful. She later told Variety her Snow White remake would differ from the original storyline, because the original storyline was quite literally from 1937 and we've progressed, only somewhat, since then. How dare she come for an 80-year-old character we don't even really care about. She joined a picket line during the SAG-AFTRA strike and said she deserved to be paid when people streamed her movies. The AUDACITY. Snow White's release date was pushed from March 2024 to March 2025. It's her fault. Those in charge were obviously concerned about what she could say during a press tour. The impact of multiple strikes? CGI concerns? General post-production setbacks? No no no, couldn't be. You get the idea. Zegler has not been able to say, or do, anything right — and it has been that way since the very moment she became a public figure. Based on the evidence, it boils down to the fact that she doesn't speak in the PR platitudes we expect of celebrities, gives off enthusiastic theatre kid energy, and is a headstrong, passionate, successful young woman. In the past couple of years, I cannot count how many famous women we as a culture have 'reassessed'. From Britney Spears to Jennifer Lawrence to, yes, the ultimate formerly hated theatre kid: Hathaway. It is worthwhile and important to look back at how women like them were treated unfairly. But then someone like Zegler comes along, says something as innocuous (and true) as a Disney princess from the 1930s is an outdated character, and then faces the same sexist wrath that impacted dozens before her. Ironically, Zegler's public profile is finally being saved by the same dystopic world that built Lawrence up (before tearing her down). Zegler has been praised in recent weeks for her role as Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, a prequel story set 64 years before the events of The Hunger Games. Now, 23 months after the release of her first film thrust her into a labyrinth of negativity, she is finally facing a reprieve. The reassessments have begun. Perhaps the greatest sign of all is that for the first time in months, Zegler has turned back on her Instagram comments (and they are NICE). All it took was two years of hate and an already beloved franchise to slow the Rachel Zegler hate train. Is it too naïve to hope this same wave of hatred won't follow the next young female star who comes along? Source

Better than the reviews said.
