Congratulations to Francis Ford Coppola on receiving the Kennedy Center Honors!
“I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to collaborate with great artists and wonderful people throughout my career, and I have never stopped learning. There is no greater honor than to be included along with those who inspired me, who I looked up to, and who gave me encouragement when times were dim. I am grateful to the Kennedy Center, my beloved colleagues, to those who equate beauty and truth, and to all the children of the world.”
Francis Ford Coppola, Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt and more are set to receive Kennedy Center Honors this year.
Happy 86th birthday to Paul Verhoeven!
As the filmmaker behind, among many memorable classics, TOTAL RECALL (1990) and BASIC INSTINCT (1992), Verhoeven never fails to provoke and amaze.
