Happy Monday, Jason from Mnpp here with this week's "Beauty vs Beast" -- we'll be wishing one of Tfe's favourite actors a happy 33 this week when Jamie Bell celebrates his birthday on Thursday. We love Jamie and are hoping for good things from his turn as Elton John's right-hand-man Bernie Taupin in Rocketman this spring... and yet we can't help but feel like it's another bridesmaid role. Why won't Hollywood let Jamie shine? He was the lead in the indie crime thriller Donnybrook which came out a few weeks back -- did any of you catch that?
Anyway for this week's poll we're probably dooming his chance to shine, again, by pitting him against one of our most beloved actresses -- his co-star in 2017's Film Stars Don't Die in Livepool, the queen Annette Bening. This movie got lost in the Oscar shuffle last year, which remains a...

Film Stars Don’T Die In Liverpool is based on Peter Turner’s memoir of the same name, about his relationship with 40s Hollywood star Gloria Grahame. If one is expecting a biopic on the Oscar-winning Grahame’s career, you won’t find it here. Instead, this is about love and friendship that grew out of a chance meeting and unlikely love affair between an older woman and younger man. Although the affair didn’t last, the fondness did.
Aspiring young actor Peter Turner (Jamie Bell) did not even know who Gloria Grahame was when he met her at a British boarding house the catered to actors. Grahame was appearing in a local theater and although middle-aged, still beautiful. When she asked the young actor to help her practice her dancing,...

If ever a film typified the difference between the BAFTAs and the Oscars, Paul McGuigan's Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool could well be the perfect case study. Entirely neglected by the American Academy, this loose biopic of the last days of Hollywood film siren Gloria Grahame—based on Peter Turner's 1986 memoir of the same name—punched above its weight at BAFTA to crash the Best Actor categories, male and female, and score an adapted screenplay nod for its writer, Matt…...

Have you heard of Oscar winning actress Gloria Grahame?
Peter Turner (Jamie Bell) didn't know who she was when he met her, and that may have been part of what led him to fall in love with her. To Peter, Gloria was just a woman, not a movie star. Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool stars Annette Bening as Grahame, who late in her life meets and falls in love with Turner, an aspiring actor from Liverpool.
The film chronicles the last years of her life and the couple's beautiful romance. We caught up with Annette Bening and Jamie Bell when they were promoting the film during the Toronto International Film Festival last fall. Check out the interview below and see Film Stars...

Jamie Bell has been famous since he was 14 years old. His debut film Billy Elliott (2000) about a young boy who discovers a passion for dancing that puts him at odds with his blue-collar community, became a global sensation. The charming film earned over $100 million (on a $5 million budget), received 3 Oscar nominations multiple BAFTAs, and eventually spawned a similarly popular stage musical which took yet more prizes.
The film also earned its young star the BAFTA for Best Actor in February of 2001. And, seventeen years later, here we are again. Jamie Bell is BAFTA nominated for Best Actor for his latest movie Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool. The romantic drama, now in limited release, is about the last days of Oscar winner Gloria Grahame's (Annette Bening) life and the young unknown actor Peter Turner (Jamie Bell) she falls in love with, and whose life she essentially...

Pop stars write closing credit songs all the time. But the story behind Elvis Costello’s moving song “You Shouldn’t Look at Me That Way,” about an older woman’s complicated allure, is crazy. Producer Barbara Broccoli and Peter Turner went to see his show at the London Palladium and were shocked to see a photo of Gloria Grahame on the stage. When they went backstage, they asked Costello to write a song for “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool,” starring Annette Bening as the aging Hollywood actress who has an affair with younger actor Peter Turner (Jamie Bell).

Chicago – George Bailey: “Hey, you look good. That’s some dress you got on there.” Violet: “This old thing? I only wear it when I don’t care how I look.” That is how actress Gloria Grahame (as Violet Bick) was introduced in the classic “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Now she is portrayed by Annette Bening in “Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool”.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The movie is based on a memoir by Peter Turner, who is portrayed in “Film Stars…” by Jamie Bell. Turner was a young actor who had an affair with the much older Grahame near the end of her life in the late 1970s/early ‘80s. He lived in Liverpool, England, and took care of the Oscar winner near her demise. The unusual May/December romance is characterized through Grahame’s deep insecurities, which Annette Bening plays to perfection. It’s also a somewhat claustrophobic film,...

What an astounding actress Annette Bening is. And she’s at her very best in Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool playing Gloria Grahame, a screen siren of the 1940s and 1950s. Here, however, we pick up with the actress during her last years, from 1979 to 1981, when she died of breast cancer at the age of 57. Instead of hitting all the familiar beats – fading bombshell desperately holding on to her past glory – Bening brings Graham to thrilling life as the complicated woman she was till the end.

"I love what I do," says Barbara Broccoli, a co-producer, with her step-brother and Eon Productions partner Michael G. Wilson, of all eight James Bond films made over the last 22 years, and the producer of the unrelated 2017 release Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, an adaptation of her longtime friend Peter Turner's 1986 memoir about his relationship with the Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, as we sit down at the offices of The Hollywood Reporter to record an episode of THR's 'Awards Chatter' podcast.

“Soon to be a major motion picture.” From its publication in 1986, that was what British actor-writer Peter Turner expected of his Gloria Grahame memoir “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.” But it took three decades for the May-December romance starring Annette Bening and Jamie Bell to finally hit theaters December 29.
This could have been yet another film that never got made. But James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli knew Turner back when the young actor was in love with Grahame, his fellow lodger twice his age at a Primrose Hill rooming house. “I’ve known Peter Turner for 40 years,” said Broccoli. “I met him and Gloria together. It was a special relationship. Sometime after she passed away he wrote the memoir, and gave me the manuscript. I thought it was so beautiful.”
Columbia Pictures chairman David Puttnam optioned the book shortly after its publication, but the project went into turnaround...
