Riley Keough praises Stevie Nicks' 'great idea' for Daisy Jones and the Six follow-up
The 36-year-old actress played the titular singer in the TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel of the same name - which was inspired by Stevie's band Fleetwood Mac and their Rumours album - and she suggested she's keen to reprise the role again after the Edge of 17 hitmaker previously admitted she'd pitched a suggestion for another storyline.
Riley told People magazine: "I think that anything Stevie Nicks comes up with is a great idea, and she's wonderful. I love her so much.
"She's the sweetest. She's amazing."
Stevie, 77, revealed last October that she had pitched a second season idea to Riley and executive producer Reese Witherspoon, and while they "loved" her suggestion, they had been too busy to act on it.
She told Rolling Stone magazine: "I wish that it could go into what if … had Billy come back after Billy's wife died and knocked on her door, and they decided to make that last record that I always hoped that Lindsey [Buckingham] and I would make. That would make a fantastic second season.
"I talked to Reese and Riley about it, and they loved the idea, but everybody's so busy. Riley's on her way to becoming a big movie star. But maybe one of these days, they'll do it.
"Until I saw 'Daisy Jones and The Six', I would have never thought it was even possible to emulate our life."
Stevie had expected to "hate" the programme and originally didn't plan to watch it.
She said: "I didn't even want to see it, because I thought I was going to hate it so much. I had Covid when I saw it. I was in my condo in Los Angeles, and I can remember saying, 'Am I just watching my life go by?' "
Stevie felt the drama was very well cast and she was sad her bandmate Christine McVie - who died in November 2022 aged 79 - passed away before she got chance to see it for herself.
She said: "Riley doesn't look like me. She's much snappier than me. I couldn't be as snappy as her in Fleetwood Mac. Christine and I couldn't do that, because we were the peacemakers.
"Riley could be totally s***** and a smart a** and totally arrogant, because she wasn't even in the band, and they weren't even nice to her. So that was the biggest difference.
"But as far as her character went, it was very similar to me. And I instantly wanted to call her and meet her, and I did.
"I thought Suki [Waterhouse] was a great Christine — in her Englishness and just the way that she dressed. And you know what I was really sad about? That Christine didn't get to see that, because she would've been so tickled by her.
"And I thought Billy [Sam Claflin] was spectacular. I thought he captured so much of Lindsey that it was creepy. He had the curls and that dark handsomeness that Lindsey had.
"One of my favourites was Camila [Morrone]. I thought that Camila and Daisy were a really good combination of me, the two of them put them together."

Paula Patton is 'enjoying every moment' as a 'single woman'
Paula Patton is "enjoying every moment" of her life as a "single woman". The 49-year-old actress - who was married to pop star Robin Thicke for 10 years between 2005 and 2015 - has not been in a relationship for some time and she's insisted she isn't rushing to find love again because she trusts that it's all "gonna work out". She told PEOPLE: "I'm going to be honest, I am a single woman ... [I believe] God has your king for you, and you just have to go about your life enjoying every moment. Don't wait on anything or anybody. Just trust and know that when the right person comes, it will be." Paula added: "I think we get caught up in fear, or worried about being alone, and then you make choices that are not great choices, instead of just like, trusting, it's all gonna work out, and then you don't have to chase anything. The actress met her former husband Thicke - father of her son Julian - when they were both teenagers and they were married for almost a decade before they announced their split in 2014. The former couple divorced the following year. Paula's latest movie project is Lifetime movie Finding Faith - in which she plays a woman whose life goes into a downward spiral before embarking on a healing journey to restore her faith in God - and she has admitted the story mirrored her own life after she gave up alcohol seven years ago. During an appearance on the Today show, she explained she was nervous about playing a drinker after being sober for so many years. She said: "I thought: 'How can I not be honest about what I've been experiencing, that seven years ago, I got sober. I know what it is to be in chaos and find your way out' "But going back and having to play being inebriated when I hadn't been inebriated for seven years, I was like: 'How am I gonna do that?' ... "I called people I knew during that time. I was like: 'Can you remind me how I was?' "And I listened to the music that I would listen to at the time. And then, there was a young woman who had recently gotten sober and she helped me remember that mindset. And it's kind of a victim mindset ... "I was able to give myself grace and just say: 'You were doing the best you could at the time. You didn't know any better. And so, now you do better, and it's okay'." Paula went on to credit her 15-year-old son Julian with helping her after she decided to give up booze, saying: "He's my best friend. "When I got sober, it just changed my life. He and our neighbor … they were my two best friends. "And I got to live life again, like a kid through him and her, and it gives you all the reasons to want to live."

Actor settles with Disney over firing from Mandalorian
Actor Gina Carano has settled her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent company Walt Disney over her claim she was fired from The Mandalorian for expressing right-wing views on social media. The specific terms of the agreement were not made available. "Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect," Lucasfilm said in a statement. "With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms Carano in the near future." The two sides stipulated in a federal court filing on Thursday that the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. A judge still needs to formally dismiss it. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles in February 2026. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California last year, alleged Carano was wrongfully terminated from the "Star Wars" galaxy Disney+ series in 2021 after two seasons due to a post likening the treatment of American conservatives to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Her posts were widely criticised online and spurred a trending #FireGinaCarano hashtag. "I'd like to thank you all for your unrelenting support throughout my life and career, you've been the heartbeat that has kept my story alive. I hope to make you proud," Carano wrote in a statement on Thursday. "I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me." Carano thanked Elon Musk for helping fund the lawsuit "and asking for nothing in return". The suit had alleged that the 43-year-old actor was fired because she "dared voice her own opinions" against an "online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology". Carano is a former mixed martial artist who played the recurring character Cara Dune on the show, which launched in 2019 and ran for three seasons. A feature film starring Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is set for release next northen summer. Carano had previously been criticised for mocking mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic and making false allegations of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
