I have a confession to make: I was yesterday years old when I discovered David Foster Wallace and his significance as a contemporary American writer. I'll turn 55 in a couple of weeks. I know, it's embarrassing. My only excuse is that I lived half of my life in the Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.

Renée Zellweger, an Academy Award-winning actress known for her iconic roles in Bridget Jones’s Diary, Cold Mountain, and Chicago, surprised fans when she stepped away from acting for six years. Between 2010 and 2016, Zellweger took a deliberate hiatus from Hollywood at the height of her career.
