Dan Rather was synonymous with CBS News before the veteran anchorman left in bitterness in 2006, following a discredited report on then-President George W. Bush's military service. On Sunday, he returned to the network for the first time in 18 years. He's now 92 and still an active presence on social media, and he appeared for a “CBS Sunday Morning” interview tied to the Netflix debut this week of a documentary about his life. Rather told correspondent Lee Cowan that “without apology or explanation, I miss CBS. I've missed it since the day I left.” His feud with since-deposed CBS network boss Les Moonves made him a nonperson at the network.

Then she turned to directing and her first feature movie, “There’s Still Tomorrow,” took Italy by storm. The black-and-white film about an ordinary woman trapped in a toxic marriage in post-World War II Italy opened in October. After its whirlwind success at home, the movie launched internationally and opens in the United Kingdom on Friday. Cortellesi is in London this week to promote the film.

Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse have recently entered the public domain, making it possible for artists to use them freely. In the years to come they'll be followed by a parade of pop culture figures, from King Kong to Superman. Some think that after years where Hollywood was only interested in films and TV shows that showed off their intellectual property, a fatigue from the same recycled characters will descend. Plenty of independent artists have seized the moment, however. The sequel to the slasher film “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" drops Friday, and many variations of “The Great Gatsby” have appeared since it went public in 2021.
