This Actress Started At 14, Won Oscar At 29, Now Has Rs 75,000-Crore Business
Reese Witherspoon was just 14 when she made her Hollywood debut in 'The Man in the Moon'. By 29, she had won an Oscar. By 30, she was the highest-paid actress in the industry. Then, just when the world expected more blockbusters, she vanished from the spotlight. What followed wasn't a sabbatical or early retirement. It was a pivot. Behind the scenes, Witherspoon was building 'Hello Sunshine', a media company focused on stories by and about women. While headlines speculated on her next role, she was busy shaping a business empire worth $900 million (roughly Rs 75,000 crore). (News18 Hindi) 3/7 Her productions include 'Big Little Lies', 'The Morning Show', 'Little Fires Everywhere', and 'Daisy Jones & The Six', all critically acclaimed, widely streamed, and award-winning. These weren't flukes. They were the result of a deliberate strategy rooted in her Reese's Book Club, which became both a community and a barometer of what audiences craved. Some in the industry now call it a predictive engine for hit storytelling. (News18 Hindi) In just a year, Hello Sunshine's valuation leapt from $120 million to $310 million. But Witherspoon didn't sell out completely. She retained equity and influence. When a $900 million deal was finalised with a private equity-backed media firm, she stayed onboard, committed to scaling her vision further. It wasn't just about creating content. It was about changing the game. (News18 Hindi)

Jack Reynor to star opposite Rachel Brosnahan in season 2 of Apple TV+'s 'Presumed Innocent'
Actor Jack Reynor will feature alongside Hollywood star Rachel Brosnahan in the second season of Apple TV+'s legal thriller series "Presumed Innocent". The second season will draw from author Jo Murray's upcoming book "Dissection of a Murder", slated for publication in 2026, reported entertainment news outlet Variety. The details of Reynor's character have been kept under wraps. He is best known for featuring in "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and "The Perfect Couple". Apple has yet to release an official logline but the synopsis from publisher Pan Macmillan offers a glimpse into the story. "When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her," the logline read. The first season of the series, created by David E Kelley, starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Nega in lead roles. It was based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Scott Turow. Brosnahan earlier starred in the hit Amazon series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", which concluded in 2023. She was most recently seen in filmmaker James Gunn's highly-anticipated film "Superman" co-starring David Corenswet. Reynor will next appear in season two of Amazon Prime Video's "Citadel".
