Dustin Hoffman slapped Meryl Streep without warning just before filming this scene for Kramer vs. Kramer. You can still see the mark on her cheek. He said he was channelling the character. She said he overstepped. They never worked together again.

Dustin Hoffman on why he was so emotionally involved in 'Kramer Vs Kramer' (1978): "Interviewer: Which film have you been most emotionally involved in? Hoffman: Probably Kramer Vs Kramer. I was getting divorced. I waited until I was 31 before I got married and I never thought this would happen. There were kids involved. I said to the director. "I have never read anything close to what I am witnessing emotionally - I really want to tell this story." Interviewer: And so you did? Hoffman: We sat in a hotel room for four months and we came up with the thread, which is the most painful part of divorce - when both parties want to cut that bond and can't. Because if there's anything there to begin with, it ain't cutting that easy. You can no longer inhabit the same space and you still love each other. There ain't nothing worse than that. You turn that on the other person, because it produces such pain, and you literally feel like you are losing a part of yourself. Because you are." (Dustin Hoffman's interview with Tiffany Rose, Independent, 2003)

David Cronenberg on why "The Brood" (1979) was his version of "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979): "Samantha Eggar really understood 'The Brood' (1979); she said that it reminded her of her own childhood. To me that meant she was seeing past the horror fantasy elements to the psychological elements, which were really the basic underpinning of the movie. I’ve said this ad nauseam, but 'The Brood' was my version of 'Kramer Vs Kramer' (1979). I was really trying to get to the reality, with a capital R, which is why I have disdain for Kramer. I think it’s false, fake, candy. There are unbelievable, ridiculous moments in it that to me are emotionally completely false, if you’ve ever gone through anything like that. 'The Brood' got to the real nightmare, horrific, unbelievable inner life of that situation. I’m not being facetious when I say I think it’s more realistic, even more naturalistic, than Kramer. I felt that bad. It was that horrible, that damaging. That’s why it had to be made then; it wanted to be made full blast. Getting philosophical and mellow, you make another movie. The reality needed to be expressed in what, if you’re a critic, are symbolic terms. I can’t remember if I tried a more obviously naturalistic version of it, but that wouldn’t have satisfied me. It wouldn’t have been cathartic enough. 'Kramer Vs Kramer' also had a kind of happy ending. Not my version of that situation." (Cronenberg on Cronenberg', 1992) "'The Brood' was ‘my version of Kramer vs. Kramer’, which was a movie about a divorce with a child involved, a Hollywood version of that situation with Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman, that was very popular then. I thought 'Kramer vs Kramer' was the most false, sentimental, bullsh!t movie ever — and people were loving it, you know. That also made me realise, in a very forceful way, that you could make a movie that had people weeping and crying and very emotional but which was a complete lie — and that it would sell, and I didn’t ever want to do that." ("David Cronenberg: Interviews with Serge Grünberg", 1992) P.S: "Kramer vs. Kramer" was only released in December, 1979. I believe Cronenberg might be confusing reading the 'Kramer vs. Kramer' novel with watching the movie before making 'The Brood'. The quote doesn't make sense in some parts. On this day, 47 years ago, "The Brood" (1979) premiered in Chicago, Illinois.

JUST IN: President Trump tells the story about the time Charlie Kirk told him he was going to marry Erika. "I was with him before I met Erika. And he told me he was going to get married. He said, 'You won't believe how beautiful she is.'" "But then he also said, 'And you know what? She's like the smartest person I know.'" "See, they do go together on occasion. Not often. Not often. But on occasion, they go together."

Burnett: The White House response to us.. They said, the president was never in Epstein's office. Is that true? Mark Epstein: He was there. The people that worked for Jeffrey in his office, you can find them. They can testify that they saw Trump in Jeffrey's office on numerous occasions..

A lover boy before they were even together! If you recall, earlier in this episode, he noticed something was up with her in the morning even though she said she was good. He was the only one checking up on her and the only one that wanted to help her. A real man 👏🏼

She mouthed off, ignored orders, and stood up. He said sit. She said no. Then he made the decision for her. Was the takedown too far? Or was it just overdue? You decide.

Cloris Leachman's final scene in "The Last Picture Show" (1971) was filmed without any rehearsal. She wanted to rehearse the scene but Peter Bogdanovich was against the idea as he thought that it would ruin the scene. Bogdanovich was so happy with the first take, he said to her, "Cut, print, you just won the Oscar.’ Leachman replied, ‘I can do it better.’ Then Bogdanovich said, ‘No, you can’t.’ Bogdanovich felt that way since the scene was so fresh and she was shaking. He knew she couldn’t possibly do it better. She could hardly breathe after filming the scene. He was proved right when she won the Oscar for her performance. P.S: Remembering Cloris Leachman on her 100th birthday! ("Remembering Cloris Leachman, an Oscar- and Emmy-Winning Actor of Stunning Range", Stuart Emmrich, Vogue, 2021 & IMDb)

"Janet Oller spent 127 days unconscious at St. Francis Medical in Columbus. Her family kept her Lab, Duke, at home the whole time. When they finally brought him to see her last November, the nurse filming said he made a sound she'd never heard a dog make. He didn't bark. He just pressed his face into Janet's neck and shook. Her daughter posted this from the hallway. "He knew before she even said his name." Being remembered like that - most people will never feel it.

On “The View,” Jill Biden denied that she limited access to her husband while he was president. Her denials “are just not true on the face of it, but that’s what she said,” says Mark Halperin. Joe Biden said he would have won if he’d stayed on the ticket. “There no evidence of that,” says Mark. “Did he help whatever goals he has by going on ‘The View?’ I can see no discernible way in which that appearance helped him.” #JoeBiden The View
