Angel Reese, known as “Fourth Quarter Barbie,” showed exactly why she’s earned that nickname, putting up 7 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a block in the fourth quarter as the Atlanta Dream look to complete the comeback. ✨
At one point John Travolta was going to play Manny in Scarface, but they went with unknown actor Steven Bauer because they wanted someone who was actually Cuban. At the time, Bauer was a struggling actor being pigeonholed into becoming a soap star. He explains…
"I left Hollywood because I wasn't getting really good roles, I was getting stupid roles in television, and I was like, "Fuck, I gotta get in." And I met Stella Adler, the great teacher, and she said, "Come to New York, darling, study with me. "You have to become an actor." So I went to New York.
So I'm in New York for like a year, and at the end of the year, I'm starving - my agents in Hollywood think I'm absolutely nuts, and they're like, "You've gotta come home, or at least go in for a soap opera in New York, you have the right type, blah blah blah" And I'm like, "No, no, I'm not doing that." And they're like, "But you're gonna starve." And I go, "I'll deliver furniture." - So I was delivering furniture.
And then on my last day, finally they come in, "We have a meeting for you. An audition for a TV movie, and maybe for another independent feature." And I go, "Okay." "So we'll get you the airfare and come home." - I go, "Okay, I'm coming home."
So I'm in New York on that last day, and my manager calls me, she goes, "Wait, before you go to the airport. They're casting a movie with Al Pacino, it's called Scarface, and it's a remake of an old movie. And the second lead is a tall, handsome Cuban boy, who's fun, and that's you - It's to play his best friend." And I go, "Yeah, what shot do I have with that!?" And they go, "No, they want someone new. They want someone new." - So I go uptown…
She (the casting agent) opens the door - and she goes, "Come in, come in, come in, come in. Sit down, tell me who you are. Tell me what you've done. Tell me what you're working on - You've done theater? - “Yeah”, and television? “Yes." “You speak Spanish?" - I go, "I'm Cuban." And she goes, "You're really Cuban!?" And I go, "Yeah." And she goes…“Hang on a second…"
(Imitating phone dial) - Regular phone, no cell phones - “Yeah, yeah. Brian, I found your guy.
Right in front on me!
"I found Manny, I found Manny. I swear to God, you got to see him. Can you see him?...okay, I'll send him over” - click.
She goes "Go down to - the Village on Fifth and Eighth Street. And go see Brian De Palma…
I got in a cab, and there was so much traffic that I had to get out of the cab and run the rest of the way to the Village. Because I was stuck in traffic! And I was running out of money! I had no money left!
So I run to meet him, and he opens the door, and he's very lackadaisical. He's very aloof, Brian. And he's like, "Mm….yeah, you look…yeah, I can see it…are you really Cuban?" I go, "Yeah, I'm really Cuban." "Can you really speak Spanish?" I go, "Yes!"
And he goes... "Wait, I'm gonna call Marty Bregman. He's the producer. He's in LA." He calls Marty... "Marty, I have this kid. He's perfect…yes, he's Cuban…."
He gets up and he goes, "Okay, go to LA. Go see Marty Bregman tomorrow. Go to his office. He'll give you a script, learn it, and in two weeks we'll fly you back here for auditions."…And I was like, "Fly me back? I didn't have enough, I couldn't pay my airfare…"
And then I get home, and I tell my agents, and they say, "John Travolta's playing Manny." And I said, "Wait, John Travolta's playing Manny?" "Yeah." And I go, "No, no, no, no. They're telling me I have a good shot at it." And they go, "You're an idiot. And you believe everything you hear."
…And they were fired, obviously (laughing). They work on Wall Street now…
That’s really how it happened. I met Bregman, and Bregman said, "You're gonna do Scarface." Just like that in his office - And I said, "But, but, how do you know?" - he goes, "You're really Cuban, right?" And he goes, - "I don't want a star. I don't want a superstar. I don't want another star. I don't want a prima donna. I don't want any of that. You're gonna do Scarface.”
CNN also reports that this settlement also forces the IRS to end any active audits into Trump, his family, and his businesses
Not only does it further protect POTUS from accountability, but he's expanding this shield to Don Jr. and Eric and Ivanka and Jared and their interests
