As Vanity Fair features editor Hillary Busis acknowledges, John Steinbeck’s East of Eden is an infamous high school assignment, so much so that the prospect of a Netflix adaptation might leave you cold. But after you read Hillary’s interview with star Florence Pugh, you’fre likely to cast aside any English class PTSD to tune into the series—Pugh is just that charmingly engaging. How charming is she? She manages to suggest Hillary is a witch and swipes one of her “nibbled” pizza crusts, but, somehow, it doesn’t feel like a folksy put-on. Don’t buy it? Read the full profile and become a believer. While we’re talking about revealing conversations, have you watched the first episode of VF’s new long-form interview series, Fair Game? To kick things off, Coleman Domingo speaks with our global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, in a fun and loose discussion—but one that doesn’t pull any punches. It’s a perfect Sunday read, watch, or listen (scroll all the way down for the full audio version). Before I leave you, a few more to take in: José Criales-Unzueta tells a tale of two Milans during Fashion Week, Tom Holland’s Fred Astaire has found his Ginger Rogers, and these are the movies you should catch before September comes to an end. |
