Time magazine said today that Leonardo DiCaprio is its 2025 Entertainer of the Year.The 102-year-old mag honored the Oscar winner and seven-time nominee for his acclaimed performance in One Battle After Another, the revolt-themed actioner that has become filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s highest-grossing movie. DiCaprio, who won the Bast Actor Oscar for 2015’s The Revenant, is back in the thick of the awards races for his portrayal of an washed-up ex-revolutionary who now exists in a state of stoned paranoia — until his former nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years. And the battles begin. “I’ve been thinking a lot about how often there have been truly original story ideas like this, with no link to anything historical, no past characters, no genre, no vampires, no ghosts, no anything,” DiCaprio told Time of why he cares so deeply about One Battle After Another (see the full interview here). “It was somewhat risky for the studio to take this on, and what they’re banking on, I think, is the appeal of Paul’s storytelling and the sort of fierce originality of his process.” DiCaprio on Monday added a Golden Globe nomination to his already-impressive list of laurels for the film. Last week, he scored a Critics Choice Award nom to go with a National Board of Review win, a Desert Palm Achievement Award from the Palm Springs Film Festival and other hosannas. One Battle also is up for Best Film at the Globes and Critics Choice Awards to go with wins at the Gotham Awards and NBR and from the Los Angeles and New York Film Critics and more.

When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, with father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past. The Revenant Oscar winner and seven-time nominee DiCaprio has been getting strong reviews for the film.

Actress Eva LaRue's 12-year stalking terror retold in new Paramount Plus docuseries(11/14/25) Former CSI: Miami star Eva LaRue is reliving her 12-year stalker nightmare in a new Paramount+ docuseries – My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story – that debuted Thursday.Speaking to Fox News Digital, the 58-year-old actress described the ordeal as “psychological terrorism.” “You become your own prisoner,” LaRue said. “Your mind is constantly in absolute terror mode, so you’re thinking about every possibility. You are living in a prison of your own making.” The actress and her daughter Kaya Callahan, 23, decided to share their story to put the spotlight on what she calls an “epidemic” of stalking. “Being stalked really rewires your life,” LaRue told Yahoo! “I don’t think you can ever go back to the innocence of thinking or feeling like you’re safe. That innocence is stolen.” LaRue’s nightmare all began in 2007 when she got a letter via her manager and publicist threatening graphic threats of rape, torture and murder. The letter was signed by Freddie Krueger, referring to the serial killer in the movie Nightmare on Elm Street. “It was the most heinous, most deplorable, most sickening, most terrifying threats,” she told PEOPLE. “And then he began leveling them against my little girl.” Following that the letters kept coming with one coming to her home saying: “I’ve finally found you.” At the time LaRue was a 40-year-old single mother to a then five-year-old daughter in Los Angeles having previously been married to John Callahan, her on-screen husband in All My Children from 1996-2005. “The letters escalated in violence and sickening details pretty immediately,” LaRue told Fox News Digital. In her case, the stalker mailed his letters from different post offices, making it difficult to trace his location and forensic tracing was far less sophisticated. Even if partial DNA was recovered, it might not match anyone in the system. “This stalker was not in a national database,” LaRue told Fox News Digital. After a brief moment of security when she remarried in 2010, to businessman Joe Cappuccio, the stalker returned with threats also going to Cappuccio’s office and that marriage ended in 2014. STALKER CALLS DAUGHTER’S SCHOOL In 2019, the stalker called Callahan’s school, claiming to be her father with the New York Times reporting he called the school 18 times. Sadly, this was the breakthrough needed as the threats were sent through the mail and crossed state lines, so the FBI got involved looking for forensic evidence that could tie them to a suspect. When usable DNA was recovered from one of the envelopes, the feds used a genetic genealogy database to uncover a list of the suspect’s relatives, leading them to a small town in Ohio, WRAL.com reported. James David Rogers, 58, was arrested after his DNA was pulled from a discarded Arby’s straw and in 2022. Rogers pleaded guilty to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications and two counts of stalking. He was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison and was released in 2024. “After stealing our peace and sanity for 12 years, he gets three-and-a-half years,” LaRue told Yahoo! of the disappointing sentence. “And we get life. We get a lifetime sentence of fear.” Still, LaRue’s next cathartic act is developing a scripted drama based on how the FBI pioneered the forensics genealogy technology that solved her case. “I already have a (show) treatment,” she told Yahoo! Actress Eva LaRue and Daughter Kaya Callahan Were Stalked for 12 Years: 'Sickening, Terrifying Threats'(11/11/25) (people.com) Her Hollywood dreams were becoming a reality. Already known for appearing on the classic soap opera All My Children in the 1990s and 2000s, Eva LaRue saw her fame blossom when she became a member of the cast of CSI: Miami in 2006.That season, her hit prime-time series was one of the 10 most-watched scripted shows on TV. But LaRue’s dream job threatened to turn into a nightmare when she began to receive disturbing mail from an anonymous fan. Sent to the actress via her manager and publicist, the graphically violent letters contained threats of rape, torture and murder and were eerily signed “Freddie Krueger,” after the villain of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. At first LaRue, then 40 and a single mother living with her 5-year-old daughter Kaya Callahan in Los Angeles, thought the hate mail might just be a twisted prank. But then three more obscene letters from the same sender arrived within a week — and it became clear she was being stalked. “I am going to instill fear into every part of your life,” said her antagonist in one of his messages. True to his word, the stalker grew increasingly menacing in his letters until he began to target her daughter Kaya as well. “It was the most heinous, most deplorable, most sickening, most terrifying threats,” LaRue recalls. “And then he began leveling them against my little girl.” To keep her daughter safe, LaRue had security cameras installed at their home. It would take authorities more than a decade to make the letters stop with the arrest of a suspect in 2019. In the intervening years, mother and daughter moved three times to avoid being located. But with each move, their stalker was able to find the new address. LaRue avoided reading all but a handful of the dozens of letters, and she protected her daughter by not telling her about the letters for years. Now they are experiencing the terrifying ordeal again by appearing in My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story, a Paramount+ docuseries premiering on Nov. 13. “Because my mom kept so much hidden, I didn’t know much about it,” says Kaya, now 23, of filming the docuseries. “It was like reliving it and yet experiencing it for the very first time.” A model before she landed her first acting gigs, California native LaRue had her big break when she was cast as Dr. Maria Santos on All My Children in 1993. She married costar John Callahan, who played her onscreen husband, and together they welcomed Kaya before divorcing in 2005. When the Freddie Krueger letters started arriving in 2007, they weren’t addressed to LaRue’s home. But then one day she checked the mail and found an envelope with the familiar scrawl. “I have finally found you,” the letter inside said. The stalking became more invasive in 2019 when Kaya, who was by then 17 and aware of the letters, was called from a classroom to the school office. The receptionist explained that her dad had phoned and said he would pick her up outside the building. Kaya texted her mom to see if it was true, and LaRue called her ex-husband to confirm. When he replied that he wasn’t even in Los Angeles, it clicked: The stalker had learned which school Kaya attended and was impersonating her father. LaRue immediately drove to the school to get Kaya. “It still feels like a jump scare,” she says. Later that year DNA found on one of the letters finally led to a breakthrough, and Ohio resident James David Rogers, 61, was arrested. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges and was sentenced to 40 months in prison. “It was very freeing,” recalls Kaya. “I just felt like I could live a normal life again.” Still, LaRue says she took part in the docuseries to advocate for stronger laws to protect victims of stalking. “It’s not just celebrities — all of us can be targeted through social media,” she says. “We want to help everybody who’s being stalked and instill some hope." Eric Preven Dies: ‘Reba’ & ‘Santa Barbara’ Producer Was 62(11/11/25) Eric Preven, a writer-producer on the sitcom Reba who produced hundreds of episodes of the daytime drama Santa Barbara, worked on several other shows and was a Los Angeles journalist, died November 8 in Studio City. He was 62.The local news outlet CityWatch LA confirmed the news, writing, “It is with deep sorrow that we at CityWatch LA announce the passing of our longtime contributor, Eric Preven, who died suddenly on Saturday of an apparent heart attack.” Preven got his start as an assistant producer on the NBC soap opera Santa Barbara in 1988 and later became an associate producer.

He launched his writing career on the Fox sitcom Partners in 1995, penning three episodes of the series starring Jon Cryer, Tate Donovan and Maria Pitillo during its single-season run. From there, Preven moved to writing episodes of the NBC comedy Boston Common from 1996-97, the 1996-98 ensemble comedy Something So Right — who first season aired on NBC and second on ABC — and the short-lived Fox sitcom Holding the Baby.

(Coincidentally or not, LaRue’s filmography includes a guest appearance on the 1980s TV spinoff series Freddy’s Nightmares.) In one excerpt, the stalker threatens physical and sexual violence against LaRue and her daughter, Kaya, now 23. “Those words and those threats were absolute psychological terrorism,” LaRue says in the trailer. LaRue says that playing DNA analyst Natalia Boa Vista on CSI: Miami was the “pinnacle of [her] career” and that being on a primetime series “was a different level of celebrity.” But with that celebrity came a lot of fan mail — and the menacing messages from “Freddie.” “My worst fear was that everything that he said in those letters could become a reality,” LaRue says. “The letters were coming fast and furious. … I just remember being absolutely terrified.” Kaya is also featured in the trailer, saying she remembers seeing her mom break down in tears. “At 12, that was devastating,” she says. “Your one job as a parent is to keep your kids safe,” LaRue explains. “Like, that’s it. That’s your freaking job. And I was feeling like I couldn’t do my job. I couldn’t do my job.” Eventually, LaRue had to take matters into her own hands, she says. “I did start sleeping with a weapon under my bed,” she reveals. In September 2022, an Ohio man named James David Rogers was sentenced to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications, and two counts of stalking, according to The New York Times. Court documents showed Rogers’ stalking behavior started in March 2007 and continued until his November 2019 arrest, during which time he mailed around three dozen handwritten and typed letters with threats, the newspaper reported. My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story, Thursday, November 13, Paramount+ Appian Way Developing Biopic Of Young Bela Lugosi For Universal; ‘Ed Wood’s Scott Alexander And Larry Karaszewski Scripting(10/15/25) Appian Way Productions, the production company of Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson, has teamed with producers Alex Cutler and Darryl Marshak to develop a Universal Pictures biopic of Bela Lugosi, the Hungarian star of stage and screen who originated the iconic role of Dracula both on Broadway and in the classic 1931 Universal horror film, multiple sources tell Deadline.Reps for Universal declined comment. While insiders stressed that it’s very early days on this project, the backstory is interesting, as it came into Universal as a pitch around two years ago and quietly has been gestating ever since. The script is by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, writers of Tim Burton’s Ed Wood, which won Martin Landau an Oscar and other top honors for his portrayal of Lugosi at the end of his life. Unlike that 1994 classic, the new film will focus on a younger Lugosi, capturing his meteoric rise to become one of cinema’s most enduring and recognizable figures. The film chronicles his immigration from Hungary and rise to stardom, both as the star of Dracula on Broadway in the late 1920s and its 1931 Hollywood adaptation, as well as his precipitous fall after declining the role of Frankenstein, which went to his future rival Boris Karloff. While Lugosi never could escape the role of Dracula, it cemented his place in history as the cornerstone of the pantheon of legendary monsters from Universal, which still is celebrated today. With Halloween fast approaching, there can be no better time to revisit the works that made Lugosi a star. Davisson, Michael Hampton and DiCaprio will produce the new Lugosi project for Appian Way. A pair of the town’s most celebrated screenwriters, who are widely known for their “anti-biopic” narratives, Alexander and Karaszewski have written some of Hollywood’s most indelible award-winning roles for actors, with projects like The People vs. Larry Flynt, Man on the Moon, Big Eyes, Dolemite Is My Name and American Crime Story, for which they earned multiple Emmys and PGA Awards, as well as a WGA Award. Most recently, they penned the script for a biopic about The Grateful Dead, which is set up at Apple. Industry veterans Cutler and Marshak are a pair of first cousins who have been working toward a Lugosi film for many years, beginning when they were teens. Marshak, who went on to become a talent agent, worked with DiCaprio early in each of their careers. Most recently, Appian Way has produced Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated Apple pic Killers of the Flower, starring DiCaprio, as well as titles including The Featherweight and Queen of Bones. As an actor, DiCaprio stars in One Battle After Another, the critically acclaimed film from Paul Thomas Anderso that has grossed more than $138 million worldwide since its debut last month. Said to be circling Michael Mann’s Heat 2, which has just moved from Warner Bros. to Amazon MGM’s United Artists, he’s also recently entered talks to star opposite Jennifer Lawrence in What Happens at Night, a new Scorsese Apple pic based on the novel from Peter Cameron. Alexander and Karaszewski are represented by CAA and Entertainment 360. Appian Way is repped by LBI and Hansen Jacobson Teller. Cutler & Marshak are repped by Michael Sherman at Eisner Law. Leonardo DiCaprio Pays Tribute To “Dear Friend” Jane Goodall, Reveals His Last Words To Her: “We All Must Carry The Torch”(10/1/25) Following Jane Goodall‘s death at 91, Leonardo DiCaprio is paying tribute to his friend and continuing her legacy.The Oscar winner called Goodall “a true hero for the planet, an inspiration to millions, and a dear friend” after they served together as United Nations Messengers of Peace since his designation in 2014 and recently executive produced the movie Howl together. “Jane Goodall devoted her life to protecting our planet and giving a voice to the wild animals and the ecosystems they inhabit,” he wrote on Instagram. “Her groundbreaking research on Chimpanzees in Tanzania transformed our understanding of how our closest relatives live, socialize, and think—reminding us that we are deeply connected not only to Chimpanzees and the other great apes, but to all life.” DiCaprio continued, “For decades, Jane traveled the world with tireless energy, awakening generations to the wonder of the natural world. She spoke directly to the next generation, instilling hope, responsibility, and the belief that every individual can make a difference. She inspired millions to care, to act, and to hope. She never stopped. My deepest condolences to her family.” Inviting his followers to “join me in honoring her legacy” by supporting the Jane Goodall Institute and other conservation groups, DiCaprio concluded,”My last message to Jane was simple: ‘You are my hero.’ Now, we all must carry the torch for her in protecting our one shared home.” TThe Jane Goodall Institute announced that the primatologist died of natural causes while on a speaking tour in California. Goodall was 26 in 1960 when she traveled from her native England to what is now Tanzania and ventured into the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. It was the start of more than 60 years of groundbreaking work in a male-dominated field. She emphasized the need to protect chimps from extinction while redefining species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. Most recently, Goodall teamed with DiCaprio on Howl, a live-action film about a dog and wolf’s survival journey told from the animals’ perspective. Martin Scorsese Sets ‘What Happens At Night’ Next; Leonardo DiCaprio & Jennifer Lawrence Star With Apple In Talks(9/18/25) Director Martin Scorsese has committed to his next film, and he’s got Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as his leads. They’re eyeing a January start for an adaptation of the ghost story novel What Happens at Night. Deadline hears that Apple Original Films is negotiating to finance and produce with Studiocanal, which has developed the script.This comes as the DiCaprio-starring One Battle After Another is set to bow next weekend, amidst rapturous buzz and reviews for the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed film. Apple makes a lot of sense as the landing place for the new film. The studio was behind the Scorsese-directed DiCaprio-starrer Killers of the Flower Moon, and has first-look deals with Scorsese’s Sikelia and DiCaprio’s Appian Way banners. Patrick Marber penned the script to What Happens at Night after Studiocanal acquired rights to the Peter Cameron novel in the spring of 2023. At the time, Scorsese was only meant to produce the adaptation as he percolated other possible follow-ups to Killers of the Flower Moon. DiCaprio had also been weighing several projects including Damien Chazelle’s Evel Knievel biopic but ultimately those projects went away and the pieces fell into place where the film has three Oscar winners above the line here, including Lawrence. The dream-like story follows a married American couple who travel to a small, snowy European town to adopt a baby. They check into a cavernous, largely deserted hotel where they encounter an enigmatic cast of characters including a flamboyant chanteuse, a depraved businessman and a charismatic faith healer. Nothing is quite as it seems in this strange, frozen world. As the couple struggle to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about themselves and the life they’ve built together. Scorsese and DiCaprio tackled this kind of sleight-of-hand material in their hit adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel Shutter Island. Lawrence was most recently seen in Die, My Love opposite Robert Pattinson, with Lynne Ramsay directing and Scorsese producing. The film premiered at Cannes, where Mubi acquired it with plans for a November release. Stay tuned as the distribution deal gets wrapped up, and Scorsese casts up those other eccentric character roles.

Of England, she added: “I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind. They’re living. They’re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition and speed.” Noting the widely differing pace of life, the House of Cards alumna said she listens to birds chirping in the morning — a stark difference from the sounds at her oceanside Los Angeles home, where she would wake up to the noise of her neighbors’ home renovations. “Everyone’s building a huge house and I’m just done with all that — I love the quiet. And I’ve met my person. Finally.” (Wright mentioned she has been dating architect Henry Smith, whom she met at a country pub.) Though The Princess Bride actress will soon appear in Prime Video‘s psychological/erotic thriller The Girlfriend, episodes of which she is also directing, she said she is planning to take time off of work and move to the English seaside. “It’s liberating to be done,” she said. “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60% of what you wanted.” The Girlfriend, also co-starring Olivia Cooke, debuts all six of its episodes Sept. 10. ‘The Girlfriend’ Trailer: Robin Wright’s Suspicions Grow In Extended Look At Prime Video Drama Series(8/13/25) (Video) Tensions are clearly growing between Robin Wright‘s Laura and Olivia Cooke‘s Cherry in the official trailer for The Girlfriend, Prime Video‘s upcoming psychological drama series based on Michelle Frances’ novel of the same name.The Girlfriend follows Laura (Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel.

Jake Weary plays Cane Buckley, the admittedly flawed son of Harlan (Holt McCallany) and Belle Buckley (Maria Bello). Cane, along with the rest of his family, goes to deadly lengths to save their empire from drowning.In real life, Weary’s family is the complete opposite. Quite frankly, the only thing the Buckleys and Weary’s family have in common is their notoriety. Weary’s mom is Guiding Light soap icon Kim Zimmer, and his dad is actor A.C. Weary. Turns out, The Waterfront creator Kevin Williamson was a huge fan of Guiding Light, especially Zimmer’s portrayal of Reva Shayne. “I know that he had made the connection before, but it was really sweet because I don’t think he knew that I knew he was a fan of my mom’s until we were on set one day,” Weary told TV Insider. Weary continued, “He just finally opened up to me and shared his experiences and watching the show and how that was such an integral part of his childhood, and it kind of symbolized a connection that he had had with his family and sitting down in front of the TV and watching Reva Shayne just be an absolute hot mess of a character. Isn’t it funny how life can kind of just come full circle?” Weary noted that Zimmer is his “biggest fan,” and she was excited to watch his new Netflix series. He gladly called himself a “mama’s boy.” On top of The Waterfront, Animal Kingdom, the gritty family drama Weary starred in from 2016 to 2022, is having a resurgence right now. “She’s actually re-watching all of Animal Kingdom right now because it just came out on Netflix,” Weary said about his mother. “She is literally my biggest fan. She’s kind of the first person I talk to anytime something comes out because I don’t necessarily like watching my own performances.” Given Williamson’s affinity for Zimmer, could we possibly see Weary’s mom on The Waterfront in a potential Season 2? “I’d love to work with her again,” Weary said, referring to the 2023 movie they both starred in, Bleeding Love.

The following year, he became an instant sensation when he joined General Hospital as Andrew “Frisco” Jones, Jr.“That was the gift of a lifetime being cast,” Wagner recalls to ReMIND. “This man hunt for Frisco Jones and my last screen test, they called and said, ‘Do you by chance, play the guitar or sing?’ And I went, ‘Yeah.’ So, I did a Kenny Loggins tune. I got the part. Had to sing some songs for Johnny Stamos’ [Blackie Parrish, GH] band, Blackie and the Riff Raff, and sung with Quincy Jones two days later. So, GH is what started my career.” The role led to a successful music career for Wagner, who recorded the album, “All I Need” with the legendary Jones. It was released in 1984 and the title track climbed to number two on the charts. Wagner performed songs from the album on GH, using them to enhance the storytelling. “Lady of My Heart,” was released in 1985 and became the signature song for Frisco and Felicia, played by the actor’s ex-wife, Kristina Wagner. Though Wagner went on to appear on Santa Barbara as Warren Lockridge, The Bold and the Beautiful as Nick Marone and Melrose Place as Peter Burns, that he is still recognized today for his signature soap role is remarkable to him. “It’s wild,” he says. “I’m going to Lake Tahoe for a golf tournament, and it’s just a frenzy up there; so many people. But I do selfies as I walk along with the crowd, and Frisco is the still the number one name that shouted out. Unbelievable.” Wagner admits he initially had no idea that Frisco would become his signature soap role but quickly got a clue that the character was catching on, “once I saw, like, my second week, bags of fan mail — back then, it was fan mail,” he notes. “John Stamos’ room was packed with it. So, it was just an amazing run for General Hospital and that fan base.” Now, he’s playing Bill Avery on Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart, and appreciates that his alter ego has some soapy drama coming his way. “They brought [Little House on the Prairie alum] Melissa Gilbert on the show last year [as Georgie McGill], and I kissed her at her at the end of our one episode and that kind of created a little romance for Bill,” he explains. “And Melissa’s coming back this year, so they’re going to keep this going, which I think is terrific. She’s great. I haven’t been playing that at all on When Calls the Heart, so for me, it’s like plugging into Jack Wagner from the ’80s or ’90s. I realized that’s why I’m having so much fun. It’s like, ‘Wow, I’m dusting off my old charming romance guy. Let’s dust this guy off.’” For Older News Visit The Daytime Soap Operas News Archives: Here!
