Glenn Close

Up close, Glenn Close exudes on the one hand the stately air of a big screen star and on the other that unique simplicity that characterizes most of her American colleagues. The award-winning actress was in Athens recently to take part in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation's SNF Nostos conference, which this year was dedicated to mental health.

Hollywood is gearing up for the 95th Academy Awards, where "Everything Everywhere All at Once" comes in the lead nominee.

The Oscars will be held on March 12, at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m. EST and be broadcast live on ABC.

"I was on location when I found out about the nomination. The words in Bulgarian definitely make me happiest, because I am and will always remain a Bulgarian girl. I'm proud of that.' That's what said exclusively for NOVA TV Maria Bakalova, our first actress to receive an Oscar nomination.

Roger Berlind, a producer of more than 100 Broadway plays and musicals and the winner of 25 Tony Awards, has died. He was 90.

He died Dec. 18 at his home in Montana. His family said cardiopulmonary arrest was to blame, The New York Times reported.

The Brooklyn-born Berlind enjoyed a four-decade career that boosted the success of actors including Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons.

Glenn Close may be known for playing strong, often ruthless women, but like her long subdued character in "The Wife" she says she's only just starting to feel comfortable in her own skin.
