Netflix is clearly determined to play the major studio game of big star-driven action franchises. Extraction and its current sequel, The Gray Man (with the promise of more), Red Notice, and many others represent big screen type entertainment designed ultimately for people to watch on their couches at home. This kind of stuff, while skillfully and expensively executed still works best at IMAX rather than your living room but the streamer is convinced they will goose subscriptions so expect more of it, and movies like Heart Of Stone , a convoluted spy thriller loaded with James Bond-style action set pieces but with a wonder woman in the name of Gal Gadot in the center of it all. Taking a cue from Charlize Theron’s Netflix franchise, The Old Guard, this is a female-driven enterprise where the men, namely Jamie Dornan’s complicated bad guy, take a back seat for the most part. In fact this is a Gadot vehicle all the way.
Sherri Shepherd Shares Recent Texts From Late ‘View’ Boss and Mentor Bill Geddie
24.07.2023 - 17:51 / usmagazine.com
Sherri Shepherd mourned her late The View boss — and mentor — Bill Geddie with a touching tribute post.
“I am completely devastated at the passing of #BillGeddie the co-creator of @theviewabc. Bill took a chance and cast me — a standup comic with no talk show experience — as a co-host on #theview,” Shepherd, 56, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 21, alongside a series of photos of the duo and text messages between them. “His instinct told him that people would relate to a black female, single mom with a Special Needs child who had not one inch of political knowledge but was just a real person.”
Geddie died of coronary-related factors on Friday, July 21, per Variety. He was 68. Geddie is survived by his wife Barbara and their two daughters: Allison and Lauren.
In the carousel of images, Shepherd also included a series of correspondence between herself and Geddie. In one exchange, Shepherd expressed her gratitude for the late talk show creator and how he gave her a “chance.”
“It’s simple, I like you and I believe in you,” Geddie responded. “Sometimes the good guys (girls?) are supposed to win. Don’t be overwhelmed by this moment that you stop doing all the things that got you here. Be smart, but not too careful. Your fans already know who you are. Keep giving of yourself to them.”
In January, the pair exchanged pleasantries as they celebrated the New Year. Shepherd thanked him for “changing” her life. Geddie echoed her sentiments and told her she changed his life too. He ended the note with, “You’re going to have an amazing year, I can feel it.”
In another message, Shepherd reached out to Geddie to get some words of wisdom as she started her new gig — hosting her own talk show, Sherri, which premiered in September 2022.
