passed away this week at the age of 94. Rest in peace.Born in 1930, Rowlands got her start in theater before becoming a television staple in the ’50s and ’60s, appearing in classics like Top Secret and Peyton Place.

She made her film debut in in the 1958 comedy The High Cost Of Loving, but her career reached new heights when she began to work alongside her first husband, director John Cassavetes, shifting the landscape for independent cinema in the process.A Woman Under The Influence, Opening Night, Gloria—these aren’t just some of Rowlands’ finest film performances, they’re some of the finest performances, period.

Commanding, raw, witty, and vulnerable, Rowlands could portray the complexity of humanity on screen unlike any other.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Of course, many millennials will surely remember her from the 2004 romance The Notebook, directed by her son Nick Cassavetes.

As the older version of Rachel McAdams’ Allie who is now living with dementia, Rowlands is the movie’s heart and soul. When Nick Cassavetes revealed his mother was similarly battling Alzheimer’s earlier this summer, it only made her turn in The Notebook that much more poignant—a fitting love letter to a titan of acting.Rowlands would continue acting for the next decade (we highly recommend her segment of the lovely Paris Je’Taime and her committed work in the bonkers horror The Skeleton Key) before retiring in 2014.

Rights President information Gay Trans Transgender Remark Trump gets roasted for his batsh*t remarks about “transgender operations” happening on “aliens” during the debate
and potentially last) debate yesterday night, presidential candidates Vice President Kamala Harris and convicted felon Donald Trump had a chance to address America — and each other — while sharing their stances on the most pressing issues in the election.Well, that was the intention, at least.Despite the best efforts of moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, Trump spent nearly the entirety of his allotted airtime rambling, ignoring questions, looking orange, and lying.Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!That said, no one-liner was as bizarre, disturbing, or hilariously wrong as his assertion that Harris “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” Yes, that’s an actual thing he said.“Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison." – Donald Trump on Kamala Harris during the presidential debate pic.twitter.com/K31GDQPBoeWhile the 78-year-old convicted felon ranted, Harris watched with amusement and a facial expression that said, “This man is so wrong, and we are going to debunk him.”According to the New York Times, Trump was trying to reference Harris’ responses to a 2019 American Civil Liberties Union survey in which she voiced support for “policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition.” You know, an expansion for LGBTQ+ rights.Still, it’s a pretty irrelevant statement to spin, considering the response was written during Harris’ campaign for the 2020 Democratic primary. Furthermore, her communications director said she is not “proposing or running on” the stance.Most importantly, how are aliens involved in any of this?! It seems Trump’s entire sentence was concocted by the far-right to spark outrage, fear, and anti-wokeness without any context or importance.
