Married life is the best, says Lana Condor
Lana Condor loves married life. The 27-year-old actress married actor Anthony De La Torre in 2024, and Lana is convinced that she's found her "dream husband". Lana - who started dating Anthony back in 2015, after they met at an Emmy Awards party - told 'Extra': "It's the best, I love it. "We've been together for so long, but yeah, I got married in October and I am so happy and he is everything to me. I'm just really grateful that I have my dream husband." Lana stars in the new action-thriller film 'Valiant One' - which centres on a group of soldiers who are trying to escape North Korea - and the actress admits that the movie means a lot to her. She said: "I also come from a military family and I have friends who have served and are serving and so I am constantly - outside of just this film - I'm very conscious of the fact that I get to do what I do because the men and women who serve this country protect us and our rights to be able to do things like play pretend for a living. So there was a real want to honour everybody across the board who serves this country." What's more, Lana feels she's gone outside of her "comfort zone" to star in the new movie. She said: "I had just finished doing three rom-coms and I really wanted to push myself … out of my comfort zone, and I wanted to try something that might honestly seem so deeply unexpected to the public. "I wanted to prove to myself that I have more to give and more sides of myself as an actor that I don't necessarily think I had shown previously."

Emmy-nominated actor from ‘Scarface,' ‘Ghostbusters II' dies at 87
Harris Yulin, the Emmy-nominated actor best known for his menacing roles in iconic films such as 'Scarface' and 'Ghostbusters II," has died. He was 87. Yulin died of cardiac arrest on Tuesday, June 10 in New York City, Deadline reported. The actor's death was announced by his family and manager Sue Leibman. Yulin was born on Nov. 5, 1937 in Los Angeles, California, his IMDb biography states. Over a career spanning more than 50 years, Yulin appeared in more than 100 film and television productions including 'Night Moves,' 'St. Ives,' 'Clear and Present Danger,' 'Looking for Richard,' 'Bean,' 'The Hurricane' and 'Training Day.' Yulin's most notable performances were as Chief Detective Mel Bernstein in 1983's 'Scarface' and as Judge Stephen Wexler in 1989's 'Ghostbusters II.' The actor received an Emmy Award nomination in 1996 for his work on 'Fraiser,' in which he starred as Jerome Belasco in the episode titled, 'A Word to the Wiseguy." He also had notable roles on series including 'Cagney & Lacey,' 'The X-Files,' 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' and 'Ozark,' where he appeared in 12 episodes. A lifelong stage actor, Yulin made his New York stage debut in James Saunders' 1963 production of 'Next Time I'll Sing to You.' His Broadway debut came in the early 1980s. Yulin went on to appear in celebrated productions such as 'Hedda Gabler,' 'The Price' and 'The Diary of Anne Frank.' He also won a Lucille Lortel Award for directing 'The Trip to Bountiful' and received Drama Desk nominations, the Guardian reported. Before his death, Yulin was set to star in the upcoming MGM+ series 'American Classic,' which stars Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. Yulin was set to play Linus Bean, father to Kline's character in the show. Kline stars as Richard Bean, a Broadway actor who has a meltdown and comes home to the town of Millersburg, where his father founded a local theater. 'Harris Yulin was very simply one of the greatest artists I have ever encountered,' director Michael Hoffman said of the late actor, according to Deadline. 'His marriage of immense technique with an always fresh sense of discovery, gave his work an immediacy and vitality and purity I've experienced nowhere else. And what he was as an actor, he was as a man, the grace, the humility, the generosity,' Hoffman said. 'All of us at 'American Classic' have been blessed by our experience with him. He will always remain the beating heart of our show.' Yulin is survived by his wife, Kristen Lowman, son-in-law Ted Mineo, nephew Martin Crane, and godchildren Marco and Lara Greenberg, Deadline reported.

Sandra Oh Gives a Final Answer on Whether She Would Reprise Her 'Grey's Anatomy 'Role' 'as Cristina Yang
Sandra Oh spoke with the New York Times The Interview LIVE about whether she would ever return as Dr. Cristina Yang in Grey's Anatomy The Emmy winner told Lulu Garcia-Navarro "at this point, I don't think so" Oh, who earned five Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe for her work on Grey's Anatomy, hasn't returned to the show since her departure in 2014Paging Dr. Cristina Yang. At The New York Times The Interview LIVE event on June 12 at the Indeed Theater at Spring Studios, Sandra Oh spoke with The Interview co-host Lulu Garcia-Navarro about whether or not the award-winning actress would return as the doctor on Grey's Anatomy 11 years after her departure. 'What I have noticed, this is 10 years out from leaving the show, is the deep appreciation that I have for the people who appreciate Cristina. It is that love that has made me go, 'Oh. The fans really, really, really want it,' and for the first time, that's when I started opening up the idea,' Oh, 53, shares. 'But for me, I think to really be true to the people who enjoy your work, you have to be true to yourself. So at this point, I don't think so.' Oh, who earned five Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe for her work on Grey's Anatomy, hasn't returned to the show since her departure in 2014, and over the years, has been on the fence about the character's return.

The character, however, has remained a part of the story through onscreen mentions, phone calls and written correspondences with other characters. Dr. Yang notably showed up to support her best friend Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, at the funeral for her husband Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey, though a body double for Oh was used in the scene. Oh was one of the original stars of Grey's Anatomy when it premiered in 2005, which also featured Pompeo, Katherine Heigl, Justin Chambers, T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Isaiah Washington and Dempsey. Since she exited Grey's Anatomy, Oh has held starring roles in series such as American Crime, The Chair, Invincible and Killing Eve, the latter of which earned her a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Eve Polastri. She has also starred in movies like Catfight, Raya and the Last Dragon, Turning Red, Umma and Quiz Lady, for which she was awarded an Emmy. Grey's Anatomy, the longest-running primetime medical drama in television history, recently concluded its 21st season and returns for season 22 this fall on ABC. Read the original article on People
