Hilaria Baldwin, the wife of
Alec Baldwin, took to Instagram on Sunday to address allegations that she has been pretending to be Spanish when she’s actually a Boston-born white woman named Hilary.
Fresh-faced with sleep-tousled hair, the former yoga instructor was clad in Nutcracker-print pajamas during the seven-and-a-half-minute video.
Describing her upbringing and heritage as “a difficult story,” Baldwin attempted to explain her background.

“I’ve seen chatter online questioning my identity and culture. This is something I take very seriously, and for those who are asking I’ll reiterate my story, as I’ve done many times before,” Baldwin, 36, said.
Timothy Hampton’s
Bob Dylan: How the Songs Work (Zone Books, 2020) is a fascinating and meticulous study of Bob Dylan’s songwriting craft. Hampton discusses how Dylan incorporated and then transcended the Greenwich Village folk music tradition; how he reinvented himself as a visionary poet in the mid ’60s; how he learned from poets as diverse as Rimbaud, Brecht, and Petrarch; and how his late-career work draws on and extends the themes he’s been pursuing for his entire life. Hampton’s book is written in a clear and accessible style and should appeal to anyone interested in the technique of this master songwriter.
