Forget Barbie, Dixie Longate is the Ultimate Plastic Girl

Dixie’s Tupperware Party. The brisk, 95-minute show — funny, joyful, and personable, which earned Andersson a Drama Desk nomination in 2008 — recently began a month-long run at the Kennedy Center’s Family Theater.Despite having played the character for 17 years, Andersson has never grown tired of hosting the nightly parties to an audience all-too-eager to be whisked back to simpler times.“I get to share time with wonderful people every night, so it doesn’t really feel like a job or a hassle at all,” he says.

How Robin Williams cheered up Steven Spielberg when he was directing ‘Schindler’s List’
Robin Williams called him every week to cheer him up while he was filming his 1993 Holocaust movie, “Schindler’s List.”Spielberg’s friendship with Williams stretched back to “Hook,” the 1991 flick that Spielberg directed and featured Williams as an adult Peter Pan.Spielberg opened up about “Schindler’s List,” and several other topics, in a wide-ranging interview in the Hollywood Reporter to talk about the 30th anniversary of the movie, which was filmed in Krakow, Poland, in 1993.The movie, which won seven Oscars at the 66th Academy Awards in 1994 — including Best Picture and Best Director (for Spielberg) — told the story of German industrialist Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), who saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories.“Robin knew how hard it was for me on the movie, and once a week, every Friday, he’d call me on the phone and do comedy for me,” Spielberg said.“Whether it was after 10 minutes or 20 minutes, when he heard me give the biggest laugh, he’d hang up on me.”Neeson also remembered Williams’ Friday phone calls to Spielberg.“Steven would tell us afterward the sorts of things Robin would say,” Neeson recalled. “Once he started a riff of ‘I’m not a Nazi, I’m a nutsy,’ all this sort of s – – t.”Williams, the comedically brilliant “Mork & Mindy” star and Oscar-winning actor (“Good Will Hunting”), died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63.Spielberg said that shooting “Schindler’s List” took its toll on him, emotionally.“The hard days were beyond my imagination and the easy days were never easy,” he told THR.

Jennifer Lopez recalls meeting now-husband Ben Affleck on disastrous ‘Gigli’ set
Jennifer Lopez is down to create another love story on screen with husband Ben Affleck.The “Maid in Manhattan” star, 54, and the “Argo” director, 51, infamously starred in the 2003 box office bomb “Gigli.” Despite the rom-com being not-so well-received, it led to the long-time couple’s relationship as they met on set.The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer looked back on the film and other past roles in a sit-down interview with Variety.“The first time meeting him on that film was at the read-through,” Lopez said.“They did a read-through of the whole thing and I remember kind of just walking in and I think he was outside, smoking a cigarette and I saw him and we just talked for, like, a minute and then I sat down and we did the read-through,” she went on.“I don’t remember a whole bunch more about it, but I remember being on the set with him every day and loving it.” The singer was married to her second husband, backup dancer Cris Judd, at the time.When asked if she would ever make a movie with Affleck again, she revealed she’s “open” to the idea.“I don’t know, in the right thing, maybe, in the right thing. I mean, we love working together and being together, so maybe,” Lopez added.The Martin Brest-directed project chronicled Affleck as a dumb hitman (Larry Gigli) who is tasked with kidnapping the brother of a prominent district attorney.

Will Helen Hunt appear in the new ‘Twisters’ movie? Her sequel idea got rejected for ‘shady’ reason
new trailer for the movie “Twisters,” a follow-up to 1996’s disaster flick “Twister” that hits theaters on July 19, social media alighted with viewers praying for a cameo from original star Helen Hunt.“I hope Helen Hunt makes a cameo in the new Twisters movie,” said user @_IAMeveryWoman on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.@JTMitcell87 wanted a glimpse of the actress, too. “I kept waiting for Helen Hunt to show up, drop a pun, then fire Dorothy sensors into a twister with a modified shotgun,” they wrote.No such luck.So, will Hunt make an appearance in the movie 28 years after she first chased tornadoes? A Universal source told The Post the 60-year-old actress is not returning for “Twisters.”The new film is instead led by Glen Powell (“Top Gun: Maverick”) as Tyler Owens, Daisy Edgar-Jones (“Where The Crawdads Sing”) as Kate Cooper and Anthony Ramos (“In The Heights”) as Javi.Other roles are filled by Maura Tierney (“ER”), Kiernan Shipka (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) and David Corenswet (DC’s new Clark Kent/ Superman in the upcoming “Superman: Legacy”).An absent Hunt would gel with what Powell told Vogue in December — that “Twisters” is neither a reboot nor a sequel.“It’s definitely not a reboot,” the 35-year-old actor said.
