has been seen in public for the first time since his ex Deborra-Lee Furness filed for divorce. The 56-year-old actor exited his off-Broadway play Sexual Misconduct Of The Middle Classes on Friday to greet fans who stood outside New York City 's Minetta Lane Theater. He was all smiles as he signed his autograph and took photos with fans and then said 'Thanks for waiting'. Big star: The actor was seen smiling outside the Minetta Lane Theater on Friday As he made his way to a nearby Citi bike rack, fans continued to approach him. His co-star Ella Beatty - Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's 25-year-old daughter - left the theater separately and also took the time to greet fans and sign autographs. When asked about working alongside Hugh she told 'I love Hugh. He's the most wonderful person.' She refused, however, to comment on how he's holding up amid his ex's divorce filing. Instead of responding, she kept quiet and continued to greet fans. revealed earlier this week that the 69-year-old Australian producer had filed a petition for divorce in New York on May 23, nearly two years after they announced their separation. In fact, everything between the couple had been ironed out behind the scenes since multiple court documents on behalf of Furness' attorney were also filed, including the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and certificate of dissolution. All that needs to be done now is for the judge to sign off on the judgment. Furness shocked fans by releasing a statement using the word 'betrayal' when speaking about her 'traumatic journey.' In a statement sent to Deborra-Lee said: 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' that she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal,' adding, 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful.' After Furness' statement, a source had revealed exclusively to Jackman's 'bitter reaction' to her statement. Jackman was blindsided by her words, the source said, as he believed they had an 'understanding' they would not publicly trash one another after having a 'secret agreement'. 'Hugh was extremely disappointed after reading what his ex had said,' the insider explained. 'There was no stipulation that she could not address this but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press. 'She got around this by not naming him - instead focusing on how she felt.' The couple had been married for 27 years and have two adopted children together - their son Oscar, 25, and a daughter Ava, 19. Furness has received a 'handsome spousal support payment,' according to an insider who spoke to which she is 'pleased with'. 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved,' the source added. 'Both are coming out of this financially secure.' A separate source said the divorce is 'non contested,' meaning there was not a major disagreement between the couple divorcing. 'They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,' they said. 'They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.' Jackman, who is dating Sutton Foster is 'looking forward to the future and not looking back.'

Robert Benton, Oscar-winning director of Kramer vs Kramer, dies aged 92
Oscar-winning writer and director Robert Benton has died at the age of 92. He won his two Academy awards for divorce drama Kramer vs Kramer. His longtime assistant and manager confirmed his death to the New York Times. Benton's first screen credit was for co-writing 1967 hit Bonnie and Clyde with David Newman. The film won two Oscars and was nominated for eight others, including best screenplay. 'I had been working as an art director at Esquire and I got fired,' Benton later said in an interview. 'I decided to write a screenplay. I am dyslexic. I cannot spell or punctuate. I knew a young editor at Esquire, a wonderful writer, David Newman. I sold him on the glamorous life of the Hollywood screenwriter.' The project was 'turned down for four years' until Warren Beatty expressed interest. It went on to make $70m from a $2.5m budget. Benton went on to collaborate again with Newman, as well as Buck Henry, on screwball comedy What's Up, Doc? His first solo credit was for Robert Altman's comedy noir The Late Show. He was one of four writers for Richard Donner's Superman before writing and directing Kramer vs Kramer, which was a critical and commercial hit in 1979. He won the Oscars for best director and best screenplay for his work. 'I don't think they would make it today because I think there's been an enormous shift in film,' Benton said of the film in 2009. 'Even in the late 70s, the studios were still owned and run by entrepreneurs … and a business that is run by entrepreneurs makes decisions in a different way than a corporation which is a public company and responsible to the stockholders. I'm not saying one is right and one is wrong, I'm just saying they're different models.' He reunited with Kramer vs Kramer star Meryl Streep for Still of the Night, a Hitchcockian thriller he wrote and directed in 1982 before winning his third Oscar for the Places in the Heart screenplay. The drama starring Sally Field also secured him a best director nomination. His later credits as both writer and director included 1994 comedy drama Nobody's Fool and 1998 thriller Twilight, both starring Paul Newman, and Philip Roth adaptation The Human Stain starring Anthony Hopkins. He also wrote the screenplay for Christmas comedy The Ice Harvest with John Cusack. His last credit was for directing the ensemble drama Feast of Love, which starred Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. 'I'm looking for something that's different from what I did last time,' he said of his process in 2003. 'Scripts survive a kind of winnowing process, and I reach the point where I enjoy these characters enough to spend two years with them.' According to the New York Times, he had been working on his memoir at the time of his death.
