Lynn Loves Jewelry: Beach-Inspired Creations for Fun in the Sun
Nevertheless, Sara and her husband Gerald Murphy were big influences on me. These glamorous Lost Generation expats lolled around France in the 1920s, hung with Scott and Zelda, and showed off their inimitable beachy style—not just those legendary pearls, but striped marinière shirts, sarongs, and espadrilles.
But ok! Just because she was marooned in Massapequa, did not mean that Lynnie did not have her own singular beach look. Lido Beach might not be Antibes, but I was as fiercely dedicated to my own idiosyncratic beach aesthetic as any random louche aristocrat. Did I not substitute a conventional bathing suit with a Danskin long sleeved leotard? Did I not cover this tribute to Isadora Duncan with a thrift shop 1950s housedress? Was my hair not tied in a kerchief from Pierre Deux, which many decades ago sold French Provencal fabric on Bleecker Steet, and where I bought scarves during my cherished trips to Manhattan?
And of course, back then I loved jewelry as much as I do today, though there was admittedly always an ephemeral quality to summer jewelry. The seashell with the fortuitous hole that allowed it to be strung around your neck would crack; the thin chain bracelets wrapped around your ankle always got lost in the dunes.
Which is why the summer jewels featured here are a far sturdier lot, crafted from precious metals and flaunting genuine gemstones. And though they may feature colorful sailboats, cartoonish fish, and fiery suns, they are meant to be worn all year round. Talk about Christmas in July—these treasures can bring a bit of July to the snowiest holiday season.

Tyne Daly Reveals Why She Wasn't Invited to Her Brother Tim Daly's Wedding to Téa Leoni (Exclusive)
Tim and Leoni tied the knot in an intimate family ceremony in New York on July 12 NEED TO KNOW Tyne Daly revealed why she wasn't invited to her brother Tim Daly's wedding to Téa Leoni in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the Televerse Festival on Aug. 16 Tim and Leoni tied the knot in an intimate family ceremony in New York on July 12 Tyne described the nuptials as "very exclusive" and "very private" Tyne Daly says her brother Tim Daly's wedding guest list was so "exclusive" that even she wasn't invited. Tim, 69, tied the knot with his longtime partner — and Madam Secretary costar — Téa Leoni in July without his older sister in attendance. "There was a small wedding. Very exclusive, very, very private," the 79-year-old actress tells PEOPLE during an exclusive interview at the TV Academy's inaugural Televerse Festival in Los Angeles on Saturday, Aug. 16. Tyne says the wedding was at Tim and Leoni's "beautiful apartment in New York," and that the couple is planning to throw a party to celebrate their marriage with more of their loved ones. Explaining why she wasn't at the nuptials, Tyne says, "They only had people that they gave birth to or people who gave birth to them," seemingly implying that Tim and Leoni only invited their parents and children. "However, I'm going to see the newlyweds quite soon," she adds, revealing that she's making "a Christmas present" for Leoni, 59. Amy Brenneman, who joined Tyne for the interview, revealed that Tyne was knitting something for her new sister-in-law. Tyne and Brenneman teamed up for a conversation at the festival that explored their work together on Judging Amy, among other topics. Tyne, however, was mum about the details of the gift. "It's a secret. I can't tell you what the present is. Nobody likes surprises anymore," she says.

Tim and Leoni married in an intimate family ceremony in New York on July 12, the actress' rep confirmed to PEOPLE at the time. Following the nuptials, a guest shared a photo online of the bride, holding a small bouquet of white flowers, posing with her 26-year-old daughter, West Duchovny, whom she shares with ex David Duchovny. While chatting with PEOPLE at Televerse, Tyne and Brenneman, 61, also opened up about reuniting for their festival conversation after last seeing each other several years ago. Tyne admitted that she and her former costar have not been proactive about keeping in touch over the two decades since Judging Amy concluded in 2005. "You make all these promises, and then life happens," she tells PEOPLE. "She was busy having babies during the show. I was having babies during my show. We've drifted apart." However, Brenneman quickly chimes in that it "takes about two seconds" for the pair to reconnect and pick up with their friendship again. Read the original article on People

Dan Tana, Whose Clubby Red-Sauce Restaurant Drew Stars, Dies at 90
Dan Tana, a promising teenage soccer player who defected from Communist Yugoslavia, bounced around teams in Western Europe and Canada, won a big poker game one night in 1956 and high-tailed it to Hollywood, where he opened the buzziest and most beloved Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, died on Saturday in Belgrade. He was 90. The death, at a hospital, was caused by cancer, his daughter Gabrielle Tana said. In 1964, after stints as a Beverly Hills maitre d' and a character actor, Mr. Tana (pronounced TAN-uh) opened his restaurant, named Dan Tana's and known as just Tana's. It occupied a 1929 bungalow, formerly home to a burger joint, and fit a little over a dozen tables. Tana's both did and did not perpetuate the spirit of the building's rustic origins. On the one hand, Tana's became the kind of restaurant where different tables might be occupied by Brad Grey, the chairman of Paramount Pictures, and Sumner Redstone, the chairman of Viacom — Mr. Grey's boss's boss. Generational succession transpired: Johnny Carson ate there before Jay Leno, Julie Christie before Cameron Diaz. Drew Barrymore was widely described as having had her diapers changed right on the bar. Yet other regulars included Luis the 911 operator; a lawyer known for his ponytail; a woman who ran a safari company; and David Naylor, Hollywood's 'Bachelor No. 1,' a serial dater of starlets, who labeled attendance at Los Angeles's other restaurants 'amateur hour.' On a scale of 1 to 10, The Los Angeles Times reported in 1989, 'the people-watching at Tana's rates 10.' It was often compared to New York's best-known clubhouse canteens, like Elaine's and Rao's, and Mr. Tana himself to its leading restaurateurs, like Toots Shor. The restaurant's hipness depended somehow on its orthodoxy. The interior and the menu remained locked in midcentury America's imagination of an Italian restaurant — including after a fire in 1980, when customers pleaded with Mr. Tana to exactly replicate the old saloon, and after Mr. Tana sold it to a friend in 2009. 'She didn't change anything,' Mr. Tana boasted to Air Mail in 2021 about his successor, Sonja Perencevic. 'Dan Tana's is as much a part of the Hollywood landscape as fan palms, Botox and tanning salons,' Air Mail wrote. The average experience of a night at Tana's went something like this: You walked under a green awning into a space so dark your eyes took a second to adjust. The décor was repeatedly described as 'bordello red': red Naugahyde booths, red-and-white checked tablecloths, red Christmas-tree lights on the ceiling and, everywhere, mounds of marinara sauce. Your table, lit by candlelight, would generally occupy a dark, recessed corner. Your waiter would not be the Los Angeles archetype — a beautiful but incompetent aspiring young actor — but instead, dressed in black bow tie, a professional, courteous gentleman from the former Yugoslavia. Mr. Tana himself, though frequently attending to his international soccer interests in London or Belgrade, where he had homes, might also stop by your table to greet you. He had an athlete's build — six feet tall, broad shouldered — but also the sophistication of a confident speaker of Russian, German, French, Italian, English and Serbo-Croatian. 'His manners are old world: He is one of the few men who can carry off kissing a woman's hand,' Los Angeles magazine reported in 1997. 'He does it swiftly, smoothly and without hesitation, the same way he lights your cigarette.' Ordering was, in a sense, not hard: 'Everything looks and pretty much tastes the same,' The Los Angeles Times wrote in 2006. A 1987 reviewer for the paper was more generous, crediting the cuisine with 'two varieties: red and white.' Even the New York strip steak came with pasta. But who thinks to order dishes called 'veal Jerry Weintraub,' 'chopped salad Nicky Hilton,' 'steak Dabney Coleman' or 'braciola Vlade Divac' for culinary reasons? The scene was the point. So many Los Angeles athletes visited that Craig Susser, a longtime maitre d', became superstitious about what he called the 'trading table.' Wayne Gretzky and Mr. Divac had sat there before being traded by their teams. Protectively, Mr. Susser refused to give the table to Shaquille O'Neal. Regulars during the 1970s described a particularly rowdy era: the musician Nils Lofgren serenading strangers with an accordion while high on acid; a fight between an agent and a producer over a third man's wife that left enduring blood stains on the restaurant's carpeted floor. 'Our best clients are the regulars who come at least once or twice a week,' Mr. Susser told The New York Times in 2005. 'Even a studio chief might not get a booth at the last minute if they haven't been in for a while.' Mr. Susser, who had the tab of an early date with his wife unexpectedly picked up by George Clooney, considered himself the Tana's heir apparent — until 2009, when Mr. Tana sold out to Ms. Perencevic, an independently wealthy friend, also from the Balkans. In 2011, Mr. Susser opened a rival restaurant, called Craig's, not far away, drawing investors partly from Tana's regulars. The New York Times asked Mr. Tana for comment. He brushed off the defection with an empire builder's long historical view. 'Craig was my eighth manager in almost 60 years,' he said. 'With each one, I lost some new customers and regained some old ones.' Dobrivoje Tanasijević was born on May 26, 1935, in Cibutkovica, a small town outside Belgrade, where he grew up. His father, Radojko, was a restaurateur. His mother, Lenka (Miloseviv) Tanasijevic, resourcefully kept the family afloat during World War II, when Radojko was arrested. He was considered an ally of the old ruling classes by the Yugoslav Communists, and he wound up becoming an accountant at one of the restaurants he had owned. In the early 1950s, Dan, still a teenager, was on the farm team of Red Star Belgrade, a professional soccer club. The team traveled to Belgium, where he got into a fight with the chaperone. He and a couple of friends promptly defected. After playing soccer in the Southern German League and in Montreal, he won his big poker game and set out for America. He changed his name when his fledging acting career began. He tended to play Germans, Russians, gangsters, communists, fascists and criminals, he told Los Angeles magazine. 'I always got killed, and I never got to kiss the girl,' he added. He earned a living by working at restaurants like La Scala, in Beverly Hills. When some friends were having trouble running a pub called Domenico's Lunch Spot, he offered to take over the lease for a dollar down and subsequent payments over the years amounting to $30,000. Initially, there was little indication of the restaurant's future success. One winter evening in 1966, the only customers were a party of six. Mr. Tana decided to comp them appetizers. One diner turned out to be Art Ryon, a columnist for The Los Angeles Times. He called Tana's 'new and charming,' boasting 'tasty stracciatelle' and the distinction of being 'the only restaurant in town that serves Chicken Lisbon.' While presumably smiling wryly at his typewriter, Mr. Ryon added, 'Reservations might be wise.' 'From then on, we never had a night when we served less than 220 dinners,' Mr. Tana told Variety in 2014. Mr. Tana's name gained a widespread sense of vague familiarity when he agreed to lend it to the main character of 'Vega$,' a series about a private eye named Dan Tanna that ran on ABC from 1978-81. His first marriage, to Andrea (Wiesenthal) Tana, ended in divorce. He married Biljana (Strezovski) Tana in 2006. In addition to his wife and Gabrielle, he is survived by another daughter from his first marriage, Katerina Tana. Unlike other Los Angeles restaurants, the walls of Tana's do not have signed pictures from movie stars so much as soccer paraphernalia. There is a poster — but it is from 'Vega$.' A bartender told The Observer of Britain that this aloofness was actually the restaurant's appeal to Hollywood. 'All these stars come to Dan Tana's because of Dan Tana,' he said. 'I think they know he's a man with a history. Sure, he's one of them; but he's different: He's lived a very different life.'

7 best animated movies on Netflix you can stream right now
As the "KPop Demon Hunters craze continues, I've been thinking a lot about Netflix's animated output. Over the years, the streaming service has put out some seriously strong animated movies from some truly talented filmmakers. Like countless other movie lovers, I grew up in front of Disney classics and have since grown into a lifelong fan of the medium. Following the revelation that "KPDH" had become the second-most-watched Netflix movie of all time, I figured now was as good a time as any to take stock of some of the most entertaining animated work that you can find on the platform. To be frank, it was nigh on impossible to whittle down this list to just a handful of picks; the range is just that good, and I've no doubt had to skip at some favorites. However, I've tried to highlight a range of genres and animation styles that show the moviemaking medium has plenty to offer to movie lovers of all ages. Oh, and seeing as Tom's Guide already has a separate round-up of some of the best anime movies and shows on Netflix, I've kept them off my list for now. So, without further ado, here's a list of seven of the very best animated movies you can stream on Netflix right now. Netflix dropped Sergio Pablos' Oscar-nominated animated Christmas movie "Klaus" back in November 2019, and this festive treat has been part of my Christmas rotation every single year since — it's just that good. Functioning as an origin story for Jolly Saint Nick, "Klaus" introduces us to self-centered postal worker, Jesper (Jason Schwartzman), who is carted off to a tiny, feuding community in 19th-century Norway. There, he forges an unlikely friendship with reclusive toymaker, Klaus (J.K. Simmons), and the duo begin delivering toys and bringing cheer to the locals. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Watch "Klaus" on Netflix now I mentioned it in my intro already, but I couldn't put this list together and not include "KPop Demon Hunters," it's a bona fide Netflix phenomenon. Despite only hitting the streamer in June 2025, Maggie Kang and Chris Applehans' musical action flick has taken the world by storm, and I doubt the hype will die down anytime soon. It's easy to see why it's taken off so much, too: "KPop Demon Hunters" is a blast. Throwing us in with superstar KPop trio Huntrix as they sell out stadiums (and secretly defend us from demonic threats), this Sony Pictures Animation project is a gem. It's packed with action, great characters, vibrant visuals, laughs, and soundtracked with infectiously catchy tunes: what's not to like? Watch "KPop Demon Hunters" on Netflix now Sony Pictures Animation really does keep producing hits. Before "KPDH", the "Spider-Verse" studio also brought Netflix another accomplished feature in "The Mitchells vs. The Machines," a zany, creative family sci-fi comedy caper with bags of personality. Before Katie (Abbi Jacobson) leaves home and heads off to film school, family patriarch Rick (Danny McBride) insists on driving her and the whole dysfunctional family all the way there on one last big road trip. And while Rick's forced fun spells trouble, the family finds themselves as humanity's last hope when a robot uprising springs up around them. Watch "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" on Netflix now We almost didn't get to watch "Nimona", until Annapurna and Netflix swept in and saved it, and I'm glad they did: this punky, LGBTQ+ sci-fi fantasy movie was worth saving This dazzling 2023 film whisks us away to a futuristic medieval world where Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed) is framed for murder and forced to go on the run. As a fugitive, he crosses paths with Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz), the titular shapeshifter (and fellow outcast) who insists on becoming his new sidekick. Together, they set out to find the truth and learn a lot about one another in the process.. Watch "Nimona" on Netflix now In the same year that Disney brought us its drab live-action "Pinocchio" remake, Guillermo del Toro and stop-motion artist Mark Gustafson teamed up to bring us this imaginative take on Carlo Collodi's classic tale of a puppet come to life. It may not be suitable for the youngest of viewers, but it's a real triumph of a film (and rightly bagged Best Animated Feature at the 2023 Oscars). Beautifully made, charming and yet still tinged with darkness, "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio" is a fantastic dark fantasy, and a movie well worth streaming if you haven't already. Watch "Pinocchio" on Netflix now DreamWorks' 1998 Biblical epic is an adaptation of the Book of Exodus, and lives up to that "epic" label by being an utterly captivating musical retelling of the Moses. You get an A-list voice cast, including the likes of Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes and Sandra Bullock, stunning visuals, and Broadway-worthy musical numbers, combined into a truly thrilling watch. Along with the studio's 2000 follow-up, "The Road to El Dorado" (not currently on Netflix), "The Prince of Egypt" is one of my all-time favorite animated movies. It's not a Netflix project, but that's where the movie's currently streaming, and I can't recommend it enough. Watch "The Prince of Egypt" on Netflix now As a Brit, it'd be impossible for me to overlook "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" — I'm basically hard-wired to have a soft spot for Aardman's dynamic duo. To longtime fans of the wacky inventor and his trusty canine companion, it came as no surprise that this cracking claymation caper was just as fun as any of their previous outings. This latest misadventure sees Wallace and Gromit face off against their legendary foe, Feathers McGraw (a nefarious penguin), who repurposes Wallace's smart gnome devices to help him seek his revenge on the pair that helped put him behind bars at the local zoo. "Vengeance Most Fowl" is impeccably, incredibly put together and brilliantly entertaining: get it watched. Watch "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" on Netflix now Already seen all my top animated picks?
