Oscar-nominated actor Graham Greene – who was in Dances with Wolves and Thunderheart – has died aged 73.

The Hollywood actor had a distinguished career that spanned nearly 50 years, including roles in blockbusters, TV shows, and on stage. He will be most remembered for his nomination for the 1990 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Kevin Costner’s Dances with Wolves.

However, his agent confirmed this morning that he passed away in a hospital in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday afternoon. Although it is believed that Greene had been unwell for some time, his agent did not give a cause of death.

The actor’s acting career began in 1976 with TV work, and he made his big screen debut with the sports drama Running Brave in 1983. This led to the 1985 British historical drama Revolution, which was produced.

However, Greene’s biggest breakthrough was in Costner’s 1990 directoral debut, Dances With Wolves, which was one of the highest-grossing movies ever. The Western won seven Oscars in the same year and received a lot of positive reviews. Joe Pesci won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in Goodfellas, but Greene didn’t.

Yet Dances with Wolves was a springboard for Greene, born in Ontario, Canada, and he was in Thunderheart, Die Hard with a Vengeance and The Green Mile among other blockbusters in the 1990s. The actor also appeared in Snow Dogs, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Wind River, Molly’s Game and the TV shows American Gods and Riverdale among many more roles.

His agent praised the versatile actor after Greene’s passing on Sunday. He claimed that Greene, who was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 2015, had a strong moral character and would be greatly missed. He leaves behind his 1990 marriage to Hilary Blackmore, their daughter Lilly Lazare-Greene, and their son Tarlo Greene.

Outside of his Oscar nom, Greene won a Grammy in 2000 for best spoken word album for children for his work on “Listen to the Storyteller.” He was also honored with a Gemini Award, Canadian Screen Award and nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. In 2021, he received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame.

‘The moments I play for’ – Osaka seals biggest win since giving birth

US Open 2025

Dates: August 24 through September 7 in Flushing Meadows, New York

Naomi Osaka, a two-time US Open champion, describes defeating Coco Gauff as one of “the moments” she enjoys playing tennis for.

With a 6-3, 6-2 victory over American third seed Gauff, Japan’s Osaka defeated her in the 2023 election.

Gauff, age 21, came home from her Grand Slam with a subdued performance despite being unsure of her game.

Osaka, the former world number one, patiently drew mistakes from her rival, whose forehand was particularly ineffective to deal with scrutiny.

Osaka, who was seeded 23rd, clapped Gauff off the court after he made a quick exit.

For the first time since winning the Australian Open in 2021, Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, made it to the final eight of a major.

It was also her biggest ranking victory in a row since she defeated Ashleigh Barty in the China Open in 2019 to claim her first ranking victory.

“Coco is one of the best players in the world.” When I play against the best players, I have the most fun. It’s always a challenge in my opinion. Osaka continued, “These are the times I play tennis for,” adding that she enjoys challenges.

How Osaka snooped on Gauff’s problems

The first true “popcorn” match of the tournament was when two of the sport’s most well-known stars reunited in New York.

In the end, Osaka, 27, was left with no entertainment as a one-sided victory, which highlighted the progress she has made in recent months.

Her strong baseline game, which had been defeated by 2023 champion Gauff, came to fruition with a more measured approach.

Osaka intelligently interrogated the unmistakable American, whose forehand breaking down during the matches was the deciding factor in a match that lasted barely longer than an hour.

In a bid to stop the flow of double faults, Gauff made a bold move to reshuffle her team days before her grand prix.

Matt Daly, a grip specialist, was joined by Gavin MacMillan, a biomechanics expert who helped Aryna Sabalenka overcame her serving yips.

What is already a high-pressure tournament was subject to more scrutiny as a result of the drastic change, and Gauff was obviously affected by the increased toll.

While her serve performed well, this was manifested through her forehand, another area where she has struggled to find consistency over the years.

The forehand made eleven forced errors, denying her the first set. In the second set, considering a return from that wing proved crucial.

At 3-2, Osaka had two more break opportunities after the mishit, with Gauff’s more reliable backhand letting her down on the first point indicating how underpowered she was.

A nearly capacity 25, 000 crowd was slightly conflicted about supporting two incredibly well-known players for the majority of the game.

Although Gauff led the home challenge in terms of seeding and superstar status, Osaka, who does not represent Japan, was born in the Queens borough of New York City, where the tournament is held.

Both women have powerfully used their voices to bring attention to social issues, including racism, and have also endeared themselves to fans.

Gauff was overcome by the crowd’s inability to rally her as the younger player waited for her to win, which made her leave the tournament for the second time in a row.

I was serving well but not returning well, which caused me to feel so disoriented on the court. Everyone can agree that’s a strange thought over the past two years, said Gauff.

“I think this tournament has a lot of benefits, and I’m trying to be one of them.”

After passing through Swiatek’s books, practice.

Iga Swiatek, the reigning champion at Wimbledon, defeated Russian 13th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-1 on Monday, extending her winning streak to 11 matches.

In a one-sided match, the Polish second seed won in just 64 minutes.

Swiatek picked up her phone to text her coach and set up a practice session right away because the victory happened so quickly and effortlessly.

In her on-court interview, she said, “I asked him to book 10 minutes of a practice court if it’s possible.”

Swiatek is now in the final eight or better for all four majors for the first time since winning his second US Open championship and second Grand Slam of the year.

In a repeat of the Wimbledon semifinal in July, where Swiatek defeated the eighth seed 6-0 6-0, Amanda Anisimova will face the six-time major champion.

Victoria Beckham hints she’s given up on fixing feud with Brooklyn with telling move

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article35581683.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/2_US-ENTERTAINMENT-FILM-LOLA.jpg

Victoria Beckham has been wishing Romeo a happy birthday, but her message read “we love you” to the 23-year-old boy.

Victoria Beckham once again laid bare the fracture in her once close-knit family in a telling post to mark son Romeo’s 23rd birthday. While the Beckhams continued to pay their respects to the footballer on social media, there was still one evident snub as Brooklyn stayed quiet.

However, Victoria certainly wasn’t about to let that ruin her party mood and shared a sweet video of the rest of the clan celebrating the special day. In a clip shared on her Instagram Stories, youngest son Cruz can be seen carrying a cake with lit candles while the group sing happy birthday.

And in a telling move, Victoria captioned the video: “Happy birthday Romeo!!! We love you so much!!!” She went on to tag Romeo, Cruz and husband David in the upload.

The singer added a picture of her son glinting behind the enormous candles to finish it off. Brooklyn has frequently been written “miss you” in posts from family gatherings as a result of Victoria’s constant attempts to include all of her children in any posts.

And she continued to share more family vacation photos. Brooklyn was giggling over Nicola Peltz’s appearance at the same time as taking to his wife’s Instagram account.

There has been an undeniable rift between the aspiring chef and his famous parents and siblings since issues first arose in public as dad David turned 50. At the time, Brooklyn was nowhere to be seen in the family get togethers and tongues quickly began wagging.

Fans were questioned about whether the seemingly close-knit family had been divided. Brooklyn has focused more on his life with the Peltzes than on his family ever since, continuing to snub his family.

Brooklyn has been the subject of two of his brothers’ public teasing, according to a source who spoke to Metro about their current situation: “They even blocked him and Nicola a few months ago. Therefore, it is unwise to anticipate him extending an olive branch.

The other Beckham clan members were present to celebrate Romeo’s birthday despite the conflict. Sandra, the mother of Sir David, wrote in a post: “I’m so proud of my special grandson @romeobeckham, we love you lots xxx.

And the former England captain left a sweet message. He declared, “Happy Birthday, little boy, you are kind, humble, polite, hardworking, and the most special person to everyone. We love you so much x have a special day, big boy, @romeobeckham,” “

On the upload, Becks and Victoria both added a few throwback photos. Cruz tried to humiliate his older brother, but he also made the decision to travel down memory lane.

Given that Romeo currently has a similar look to JB with his buzz cut and tattoos, fans have pointed out that he may have chosen to hold a Justin Bieber phone case. Cruz wrote the song “Love u man” on his upload.

Romeo also shared a number of other birthday wishes with his pals on his own Stories.

Trump to grant former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani highest civilian honour

Rudy Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City and close ally who helped to change Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to Donald Trump, president of the United States.

Giuliani is referred to as a “great patriot” by Trump in a post on his social media site Truth Social on Monday, promising to give him the country’s highest civilian award.

The PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our nation’s highest civilian award, will be presented to Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor in New York City’s history, and an equally outstanding American Patriot, according to Trump, president of the United States of America.

Giuliani gained popularity in US politics after leading New York City during the attacks and their aftermath. He later joined Trump’s legal team and helped spread Trump’s false accusations of significant fraud, despite his loss in the 2020 election.

A pair of Georgia election workers who claimed they received death threats after being falsely accused of helping to rig the voting process won a $ 48 million defamation judgment against him for those actions.

Following a car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday, Giuliani, 81, was taken to the hospital.

His security advisor, Michael Ragusa, who said on Monday that he would be released “soon,” claimed that he had a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations, contusions, and injuries to his left arm and leg.

Emily Atack shares she’s been sexually assaulted on ‘work sets and wrap parties’

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article35830105.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_Screenshot-2025-09-01-at-152711JPG.jpg

Emily Atack, an actress from The Rivals and The Inbetweeners, has previously spoken out about being sexually harassed online but has also experienced other abhorrent behavior on set.

Emily Atack made a statement before she was cast in The Rumour, a new 5 drama.

After revealing that she was sexually assaulted at work, Emily Atack is calling for a change in how she behaves on television.

The Rivals and The Inbetweeners star says there is a defensiveness about the use of intimacy co-ordinators while filming, but that they are an important source of support when shooting sex and nude scenes.

Emily, 35, has previously spoken out about being sexually harassed online, and made a BBC documentary about the subject in 2023.

In Emily Atack : Asking For It? she looked into why she was harassed on social media on a daily basis and sought to understand why the blame for unwanted sexual attention is so often put on victims.

Emily in the rumour
Emily Atack’s most recent TV role is in the Channel 5 drama The Rumour.

When the Radio Times asked if Emily wanted to make another documentary, Emily responded, “Yes, I want to do one on intimacy co-ordinators, and I’m going to start having conversations about it soon.

People have said, “I don’t need one, but I’ve seen people roll their eyes over them.” They feel accused of something they haven’t even done yet, which makes it defensive.

If you’re a man or a woman, intimacy co-ordinators are there to help you whenever you feel uncomfortable. Whether it was on the set or at a wrap party, I’ve experienced sexual assault at work throughout my career. And since the #MeToo movement, it demonstrates that viewers are paying attention and that set standards must change.

The mother, who gave birth to son Barney in June, will play a mother in the emotionally charged marriage drama The Rumour on Channel 5.

The series, which is based on Lesley Kara’s best-selling book, explores how one whisper about a child killer can destroy a whole town.

11 weeks after Barney’s birth, filming began in Budapest, where both her son and her partner Alistair Garner resided. The actress claims that the combination of her work and family time improved her confidence.

She says, “I loved it, despite how exhausting it was. Every day at work made me feel very happy. I’d then go downstairs to our apartment, bathe Barney, and put him to sleep. I established my ability to balance that. When you return to work, it’s the most terrifying thought for a woman.

You might say, “I don’t know how I’m going to do it all,” but I did. I was looking forward to working in the future. Additionally, having an amazing partner who is so hands-on and wonderful is a plus. Rachel Shenton, Joanne Whalley, Samuel Anderson, Ellie Haddington, and Lucy Speed are also on the series.

We had a great time, Emily says. They were talking about their own children, and the majority of them are mothers. Everyone praised one another with a lot of support. Strong, brilliant women took the helm, which was lovely. I’ll always be pushing for more.

The actress reveals that she wants to start her own TV show. She claims, “I’m a very writer. When the Rivals schedule settles down a little bit, I had a meeting with a writer I really like and who is doing very well.

“I believe we are gradually entering a time when women are permitted to be written in nuanced, interesting, and flawed ways.” Emily is currently working on the adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s 1980s bonkbuster, which will be titled “Sarah Stratton.”

She claims that now that she is 17 years old, fame feels different. Emily, who finished second overall in I’m A Celeb in 2018, says: “It was quite scary. It was amazing. It changed my life forever.”

There is “so much structure,” it says now. My entire organization is handled by a fantastic team. I’m 35 now. I have more wisdom and experience.

And she doesn’t see any reason to stop playing the roles that have earned her acclaim. Who is to say that the blonde, flirty funster must be one-dimensional if the writing is good? I am very good at it, and there is a lot of fun there. That’s a very impressive accomplishment.
