Getting The Sinner made required the patience of a saint.
Jessica Biel revealed on the podcast The Bright Side that she intended to quit Hollywood if she couldn’t sell The Sinner, which eventually went to USA Network after a long shopping period and won her an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination.
“Doors did not open at all, even being in the business for so long,” Biel said. “I’ve had this production company with my partner, Michelle Purple, for 20 years… I started it with her when I was 22, and for the first 10 years, we had almost no success at all. We had a very challenging time getting any story told.”
Then they came across The Sinner, a police procedural about unlikely culprits and their motivations. Biel said she and Purple “built that show from the ground up.”
“Michelle and I looked at each other and she said, ‘If we don’t sell this show,...

Madonna and Prince wrote a song that seem like a love song but it’s not. During an interview, the Material Girl revealed what she thought of Prince as a person. The song they wrote together became the template for a 2000s hit.
Madonna and Prince wrote a song about anxiety
Madonna’s album Like a Prayer includes some of the most memorable singles of her career, such as the title track, “Express Yourself,” “Cherish,” and “Keep It Together.” On top of that, it includes the revealing ballad “Oh Father.” One of the tracks from the record that doesn’t receive much attention is “Love Song.” Considering that Prince, one of the other biggest stars of all time, is on “Love Song,” it’s incredible that the song is mostly forgotten.
During a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone, the Queen of Pop was asked about her collaboration with the Purple One.

Tom Ripley has become a genre in himself. In 1955, author Patricia Highsmith published “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” a viciously smart psychological thriller featuring an all-time villain at its center. A small-time con artist who slithers him way into the social circle of a rich playboy he develops a consuming obsession with. Both charming and horrifying, with a thirst for wealth that’s equally as relatable as it is repulsive, Ripley burns on the page as an absolutely indelible character.
Unsurprisingly, Ripley has become the type of juicy role that actors kill to play. And that’s lead to three genuinely great adaptations of the novel. The book first found its way onto screen as “Purple Noon,” starring a prime Alain Delon as Tom Ripley. And then, of course, there’s the acclaimed 1999 adaptation from director Anthony Minghella, featuring an all-star cast led by Matt Damon as the title character with Jude Law,...
