Sally Potter and Patricia Clarkson on Breaking Hollywood's Glass Ceiling
You can tell a lot about a person from the way they behave at a party. That's clear in writer/director Sally Potter's new dark comedy, "The Party." She and actress Patricia Clarkson join Cheddar to discuss the making of this buzz-worthy film.
Potter reveals how the British political climate influenced the production. She says a dinner party was the perfect setting to reveal the inner and darker truths about its attendees. Clarkson explains how she got the chance to work with a filmmaker she'd admired for so long.
Then, the two weigh in on the current landscape for women in film. They speak to the significance of Greta Gerwig becoming the fifth woman to be nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. Finally, Clarkson tells us what we can expect from the final season of "House of Cards."
New York Comic Con is the East Coast's biggest pop culture event and over 200,000 people attend each year, making it North America's most-attended fan convention. Chris D'Lando, event manager for Reedpop, spoke with Cheddar News to discuss what to expect at this year's festivities.
Back in 1957, the late Queen Elizabeth II gifted a pair of swans to Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. Now there are around 50 swans from the original royal pair and each year they are rounded up and given an annual medical check-up to make sure they're all healthy.
