Most of the classic films that run on TCM are introduced by a single host. In March, some will require a whole team.
The WarnerMedia outlet on Thursdays this month will seek to put some popular but troublesome films in better context, part of an effort it calls “Reframed.” A team of the network’s on-air personnel will introduce viewers to some of Hollywood’s most seminal pictures, which remain popular but are increasingly being scrutinized under a different lens as the nation ponders more deeply how people of different races, backgrounds and creeds treat one another.
Police were last night called to a lockdown-flouting Valentine s Day party held at an exclusive £12,000-per-week rented Mayfair flat once home to Hollywood star Douglas Fairbanks Jr.
Metropolitan Police officers were flagged down by members of the public amid reports that a large group of rule-breakers had gathered inside the 5,921 square foot luxury property in Central London.
However, MailOnline understands that police left the location without making arrests or imposing fines as the revellers did not let them into the building and ignored attempts by the force to be asked questions.
Under current lockdown laws, police can take action against Britons who meet in 15-person, including breaking up illegal gatherings and issuing fines - from £200 for the first offence, doubling to a maximum of £6,400.
Amy Elizabeth Evans
October 8, 1982 – January 7, 2021
Resident of Palo Alto
Beloved daughter, sister, wife, friend, niece and cousin, Amy Elizabeth Evans passed away unexpectedly at the age of 38. She was generous and loyal, thoughtful, funny, smart, an enthusiastic traveler, and gifted at making wonderful friends.
Amy’s extraordinary intellect was a wonderment to the family, and she was the only 3 year old we ever knew who could recite Gunga Din from memory, even as she wondered if perhaps it was Santa Claus who brought her Easter basket. Attending Sacred Heart Prep in Atherton reinforced her values of kindness, caring and community. Amy graduated from Dartmouth College with a B.S. in biology and was looking forward to graduate school this fall. In no particular order, she loved singing and dancing, working at Stanford, needy animals, crafting, real literature over beach reads, In-N-Out burgers, and beating her friends at Jeopardy. She will be forever missed.

Mr. Soul!, Sam Pollard has been one of the most important documentarians of the civil rights struggle. His latest,
MLK/FBI, may be his most challenging yet, because it runs into that thorniest of challenges. It s that old adage: Consider the source.
From 1963 to 1968, the Federal Bureau of Investigations wiretapped and bugged Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. At first, the trigger was a growing concern about his closeness with Stanley Levinson, who the FBI feared was a Communist and potential Russian agent. Over time, the bugging became about King and became weaponized, playing into old paranoias about Black sexuality, even leaked in an attempt to wreck his marriage and push him to suicide.
