Michael Douglas hailed a ‘wonderful' boyfriend by one of his longest-standing exes

Yahoo13-05-2025

Michael Douglas has been hailed a 'wonderful' boyfriend by one of his longest-standing exes. The 80-year-old actor dated actress Brenda Vaccaro, 85, for seven years and even though he has been renowned for his playboy image, she has now spoken fondly of her past relationship with the A-lister, describing their years together as 'breathtaking'. She told Page Six: 'I do still adore him. I think he's wonderful.' Michael and Brenda were in a relationship in the 1970s after co-starring in the 1971 film 'Summertree'. Brenda also reflected on that time in their lives by telling Page Six: 'Oh my God, we were such a gorgeous couple. Breathtaking.' The couple relocated from New York to California together, a move that coincided with the early successes in their respective careers. 'To come to California together to experience all that stuff… he got his first show, 'The Streets of San Francisco' – we were so excited,' she said. 'It was like, 'Wow, you know, we left New York and came to California and everything that was supposed to happen happened.'' Brenda, who was married once before her relationship with Michael, went on to marry three more times. She has been with her fourth husband, Guy Hector, since 1986. Michael, meanwhile, married Diandra Luker in 1977, with whom he shares a son, Cameron Douglas, now 46. Following their divorce in 1995, Michael married Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2000. The couple have two children – Dylan, 24, and Carys, 22. Brenda's latest project is 'Nonnas', a Netflix comedy film based on the true story of a Brooklyn man, played by Vince Vaughn, who opens a restaurant staffed by grandmothers rather than professional chefs. Michael's illustrious career spans over five decades, with iconic roles in both film and television. He gained widespread recognition with his portrayal of the ambitious corporate raider Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone's 'Wall Street' (1987), which earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor. Micheal continued to build his legacy with roles in films such as 'Romancing the Stone' (1984), 'Fatal Attraction' (1987), and more recently the 'Ant-Man' series, which has earned him a legion of younger fans.

Look: Megan Stalter stars in Lena Dunham series 'Too Much'

1 of 5 | Megan Stalter attends the SAG Awards in 2023. She stars in the upcoming Netflix series "Too Much." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Netflix is previewing Lena Dunham's upcoming series Too Much ahead of its July 10 arrival on the streamer. The trailer released Tuesday shows Jessica, who is portrayed by Megan Stalter, seemingly breaking into a friend's (Emily Ratajkowski) apartment in the middle of the night following a breakup. "Leaving me is the worst thing that anyone's ever done!" Jessica declares. Her grief takes her to London, where she meets and falls for a musician, Felix (Will Sharpe). "The show does a really good job of knowing what it is, but then also flipping it on its head. It has such an awareness of rom-com... But it also does have some rougher edges. That makes the sweeter aspects all the more powerful, because there's an honesty to it," Stalter told Netflix's Tudum. Adele Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Andrew Rannells, Andrew Scott, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Janicza Bravo, Jennifer Saunders, Jessica Alba, Kaori Momoi, Kit Harington, Leo Reich, Michael Zegen, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Rhea Perlman, Richard E.

Netflix secures broadcast rights for Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford boxing mega-fight

The biggest boxing fight of 2025 has found a home on the biggest streaming service in the world. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford, the Sept. 13 mega-fight between pound-for-pound greats for the sport's undisputed super middleweight titles, will be streamed globally by Netflix at no additional cost to its subscribers, Turki Alalshikh announced Tuesday. Advertisement In a major victory for the sport, Alvarez vs. Crawford becomes the third boxing event over a span of just 10 months to stream on the Netflix platform, which boasts more than 300 million global subscribers. The controversial Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul heavyweight fight became the first boxing event on Netflix this past November, ultimately being watched by an audience exceeding 65 million viewers. Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 was the co-feature on that night, and now the two future Hall of Famers are set to headline Netflix's second boxing event with their trilogy fight on July 11 in New York. Additionally, Alalshikh said that Alvarez vs. Crawford will take place in Las Vegas but did not name a venue. Allegiant Stadium was originally supposed to host Alvarez vs. Crawford on Sept. 12, however once the date of the fight changed to Sept. 13, it was unable to do so, as the venue had a preexisting booking with the UNLV Rebels vs. Idaho State college football game. Advertisement It was then announced that Saudi-owned Sela would be the lead promoter for the highly anticipated 168-pound showdown instead of TKO Boxing — the latter being an entity formed by Alalshikh, UFC CEO Dana White and WWE president Nick Khan earlier this year. White and the UFC faced a dilemma when the date shifted from Sept. 12 to Sept. 13, as the UFC had already committed to promoting its Noche UFC 3 event on that date. However, construction delays at Mexico's Arena Guadalajara forced the show to be moved to San Antonio and become a Fight Night event rather than the originally-planned pay-per-view card. After this happened, White was able to commit to Alvarez vs. Crawford again, and thus TKO will be the lead promoter for the event. Allegiant Stadium is also understood to be back in play to host the show, with a potential deal in the works to shift the UNLV football game off the date. Alvarez and Crawford will come face-to-face for a three-city press tour beginning on June 20 in Riyadh, then on June 22 in New York, before concluding June 27 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
