Julia Louis-Dreyfus Knows Laughter Is the Best Medicine
Most funny people will say that where there’s laughter, there’s usually pain. Louis-Dreyfus knows the reverse is also true.

Sarah Paulson Returns to Broadway Original
On a cool, early fall day in Los Angeles, the actor Sarah Paulson, a person of palpable charm and sincerity, pauses over lunch to consider how she came to embody a series of unlikable, and occasionally truly awful, women. (Her CV includes roles like 12 Years a Slave’s harrowing Mistress Epps, Linda Tripp, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’s Nurse Ratched.) “I try not to judge them,” she says finally.

Vanessa Grigoriadis is New York’s mistress of the long-form magazine article; her novella-length features pick apart everything from pop celebrity to the lives of eco-warriors.

Why Mr Mahershala Ali Will Give It To You Straight
We’re sitting on the terrace of LA’s Sunset Tower. It is a late breakfast hour and Mr Ali is the very picture of calm in an immaculate Nehru-collar button up, long, kimono-style denim jacket and plimsolls. The last time we met was a year and a half ago, before his life went supernova. This was in late January of 2017, when his performance as the mentor figure Juan in Moonlight was just beginning to catch fire in the popular consciousness, and garner serious award season recognition.

How Mr Julian Edelman Won The Super Bowl
It was around this time that he went to lunch with a friend who worked in marketing, Mr Assaf Swissa, the son of his barber in Boston, who was also down on his luck having just been summarily fired from a multi-million-dollar startup he’d co-founded. “Julian and I had been friendly for a while, but it was only after we both were in the gutter that we started to work together,” says Mr Swissa. “At lunch he said to me, ‘I’ve been in the league four years.
Anjelica Huston on a lifetime of storytelling
Taken from the winter 2015 issue of Dazed: Anjelica Huston could give lessons in the art of name-dropping. Rule number one: make sure the names are worth dropping. The characters that populate Huston’s stories certainly are. “Dick Avedon, Diana Vreeland, Andy Warhol, Candy Darling, Holly Woodlawn, Jackie Curtis,” she begins, recalling friends from the impossibly starry production that was disco-era New York. “Gerard Malanga, Viva, Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo, Perry Ellis and Ara Gallant, Joe McDonald...
