The most recent entry in the so-called Poohniverse, and the first one not to feature Pooh, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, has arrived. With Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel both being steaming piles of, well, poo, I was going to skip this. But surprisingly, I started hearing quite a few positive things about it.

While most of the films that director Scott Chambers, aka Scott Jeffrey has been involved with are borderline unwatchable fare like Dragon Fury, he does have the occasional entertaining effort like The Gardener to his credit, so it wasn’t entirely beyond the realm of possibility that Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare would actually be decent. Hoping for the best, I decided to give it a chance.

Since the honey-guzzling bear has been a part of pop culture since before the Disney brand was ever founded, the world has known all about Winnie the Pooh for generations. Even without the successful Disney franchise, it's safe to say we've all made his acquaintance.

Although it's been some time since we've seen stuff or fluff from Pooh and his pals from Disney, he's certainly been busy since entering the public domain. While other creatives might use him as the face of a new horror franchise, one talented artist has breathed new life into the Hundred Acre Wood.

A journey through The Hundred Acre Kingdom

Disney might have made Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and all the rest household names, but it was British author A.A. Milne who brought the characters to life in the original Winnie-the-Pooh books. Now, Hasani Walker, an artist with ties to Laika, Nickelodeon, and more, has rewritten...

When news broke that various children’s properties would enter the public domain and be made into cheap horror movies, most of us expected films that would straight to DVD or Streaming. And while that is the case for many of these releases, not the case with the Poohniverse. Starting with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, this cinematic universe has found success with its brief theatrical runs. So much so that we’re being treated to a whole slate of films that include Bambi, Winnie the Pooh and Pinochio. The latest entry, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, releases in theaters for only three days (just like the Blood and Honey films) so be sure to check it out in theaters if you want more. My review will go up the night of release.

I was excited to chat with director of Neverland Nightmare (and star of Blood and Honey...

Scott Chambers is in the director's chair for Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. The latest installment in the Twisted Childhood Universe, a film franchise that also includes horror-ified takes on classic children's characters like Winnie-the-Pooh, follows versions of Peter Pan (Martin Portlock) and Tinker Bell (Kit Green) who abduct children in order to bring them to Neverland.

Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare represents Chambers's first time helming one of these projects. The Essex native previously produced both Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. He starred in both projects as well, portraying Christopher Robin. Chambers is slated to produce future Tcu stories including Bambi: The Reckoning and Pinnochio: Unstrung.

In celebration of Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare hitting theaters this week, ScreenRant spoke with Chambers to discuss how the established Twisted Childhood Universe impacted this film's story, which Easter eggs fans will have to look out for,...

Could Disneyland's Roger Rabbit ride be on the way out and a new replacement in the works? There's evidence it could happen!

It's no secret that Disney has a habit of remaking some older rides. It's the nature of the business as they want to keep things fresh and with very few exceptions, just about every ride in Disneyland has been altered from opening day.

One interesting case is Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. The dark ride has been the central attraction of the Toontown area since that expansion opened in 1993. Based on the 1988 hit Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it's a fun attraction, sending guests spinning through Roger and his friends tangling with enemies.

The ride has retained a following even if it's been shifted a few times over the years. Most recently, in 2021, Jessica Rabbit got a makeover that added a raincoat over her famed body for a detective character.

Christmas is over, and the new year is kicking off with a bang on Disney’s streaming platform, delivering a fresh lineup of shows and movies to keep subscribers glued to their screens. From thrilling adventures to heartwarming tales, here’s what you can expect throughout January on Disney+.

What’s New to Watch on Disney Plus in January 2025

Disney+ is ringing in the new year with a packed slate of new content, from animated adventures to gripping dramas. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars, family-friendly fun, or true crime, January promises plenty of options. Here’s the full rundown of what’s new this month.

Mamoru Hosoda is one of the most well-known moviemakers in the Japanese film industry. Some of his most popular works include The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars. In fact, his 2018 movie, Mirai, was nominated in the Best Animated Feature Film Category of the 91st Academy Awards.

Mirai (2018) directed by Mamoru Hosoda | Credits: Studio Chizu

Due to his popularity, Hosoda has been often compared with the likes of Hayao Miyazaki, another legend in the anime film department. However, the director is himself a fan of Miyazaki’s works and humbly admitted why the Ponyo and Spirited Away creator is irreplaceable.

Since Mamoru Hosoda is a successful anime film director and animator, it is obvious that he would be compared to Hayao Miyazaki at some point in time. In...

Batman: The Animated Series boasted an unforgettable voice cast, but beyond the well-known actors who brought Gothams iconic characters to life, a number of famous actors quietly lent their voices to lesser-known roles in the DC series. Batman: Tas is reknowned for its mature themes and complex storytelling, fronted by Kevin Conroys Batmam and Mark Hamills Joker. From rockstars to TV legends, Batman: The Animated Series was also filled with celebrity guest appearances that might surprise even the most devoted viewers.

Airing from 1992 to 1995, Batman: The Animated Series was a landmark in television animation, combining noir aesthetics with mature storytelling. The shows influence reached far beyond its young audience, becoming a touchstone for fans and critics alike. Known for its dark tone and complex characterizations, it attracted top-tier voice talent to fill even the smallest roles, bringing unexpected star power to Gotham City. These guest roles spanned from minor Batman...

The Copyright Gods didn’t quite know what was coming when their laws returned beloved childhood characters into the public domain. How could they have guessed, for example, that when the first Winnie the Pooh book entered the public domain in 2022, enterprising filmmakers would warp the property into Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey?

Turns out the denizens of 100-Acre Wood weren’t so thrilled to be abandoned by Christopher Robin, with ravenous versions of Pooh and Piglet taking it out on the young man’s college pals. As one might imagine, the reviews weren’t great (3 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), but the money was, inspiring a Blood and Honey 2 that made even more cash.

Those successes inspired the same filmmakers to create horror films based on available Disney favorites like Bambi and Peter Pan. And why stop there — enterprising Canadians went after the Mouse himself, creating a horror-comedy version...

As folks get set for a new era in Disney World, it’s fun to think back 25 years at one of the best Disney celebrations ever in the Millennium Celebration!

1999 was one of the best years for visiting Walt Disney World. Every park had something new, with the Magic Kingdom opening the Winnie the Pooh and Buzz Lightyear rides, Animal Kingdom first expanding with the Asia section, and the Disney-mgm Studios tossing in Rock n Roller Coaster and Fantasmic.

But Epcot was where the real changes were happening. After years of delays, Test Track finally opened and quickly became a smash hit. Then there was the much-maligned makeover of Journey Into Imagination while Communicore added in more fun.

Yet Epcot was also home to what became the big celebration for Disney World which touched upon how all the world was prepping for the year 2000. It’s forgotten what a huge deal this was,...

We all know Winnie The Pooh as a character who has been a friend to many children over the years. Pinocchio was no different, with a story that made many children’s childhood worth remembering. But with the release of the Winnie The Pooh universe, things have changed.

Gone are the days where they were every child’s comfort character. For a new generation, there name will give birth to a feeling of terror. But the Universe must have evoked feelings of awe within Steven Spielberg for its stellar use of animatronics.

The Twisted Childhood Universe is here to mess with our brains Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey paved the way for the Twisted Childhood Universe || Jagged Edge Productions

With the release of Winnie The Pooh, Jagged Edge Productions had successfully managed to change how fans around the world perceived the characters created by A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard,...

Disney Lorcana is releasing another expansion, Azurite Sea, this November, and it will feature an adorable seafaring pirate theme. While not all cards have been shown yet at the point of writing this article, the ones that have been announced are truly beautiful, and many of which will also change the current meta of the game. Although cards like Pooh Pirate Ship may look and sound cute, in gameplay many of these cards could prove to be heavy hitters for their players.

As usual, the Azurite Sea expansion has release dates for both smaller local stores and one for the larger mass market retailers. Local game stores and Disney's physical stores will launch Disney Lorcana: Azurite Sea on November 15, 2024, with the full release taking place on November 25. This is the sixth expansion to come to Lorcana and although it doesn't introduce any major changes to the game, such as the...

Recently, I had the opportunity to review a new book by Disney director Stephen Anderson. Anderson is perhaps best known for directing the 2007 cult classic Meet the Robinsons and the 2011 Winnie the Pooh, which was the last entirely hand-drawn feature from the studio. Before those films, he was with the studio for quite some time, working on movies like Tarzan, The Emperor’s New Groove, and Brother Bear.

Now, he takes us on a journey back to when the company’s future was uncertain due to the death of its founder, Walt Disney.

The book Disney In-Between: The Lost Years 1966-1986 gives a deep dive into what is commonly known as Disney’s “Dark Age.”

The first few years of the company after Walt’s death were somewhat stable, mainly finishing up projects that Walt was already involved with. But after that, things started to feel like they had lost their magic touch.

Following in the footsteps of Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey, The Mouse Trap will turn Mickey Mouse into a bloodthirsty killer.

What strange times we live in. Not only have we had two Winnie The Pooh themed horror films and a Cinderella one in the works, we’re also getting a Mickey Mouse slasher this September.

The Mouse Trap, formerly known as Mickey’s Mouse Trap, is skipping cinemas altogethe and heading to digital retailers on 30th September.

Take a look at the trailer.

Jamie Bailey is on directing duties while Simon Phillips, who also plays the mouse-turned-killer, has penned the script. The film’s first teaser trailer was posted online immediately after the character of Steamboat Willie became available in the public domain on 1st January.

Well, we all knew this was coming: Disney has gone dark thanks to “Steamboat Willie” now being in the public domain.

The earliest version of the conglomerate’s iconic Mickey Mouse character is now up for grabs — and the team behind the upcoming horror film “The Mouse Trap” wasted no time reimagining Mickey as a murderer.

Jamie Bailey directs the twisted take on the mouse with Simon Phillips playing the serial killer version of Mickey. The teaser trailer was released January 1 to announce the project just as the character entered the public domain and legally could be incorporated in Disney-less films.

The official synopsis reads: “It’s Alex’s 21st Birthday, but she’s stuck at the amusement arcade on a late shift so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse decides to play a game of his own with them which she must survive.

If you’re like me, you spend a lot of August yelling “Summer is over!” to your nearest and dearest — and they don’t take kindly to that. Summer TV is in its twilight, while fall premieres loom on the horizon after the Emmy Awards on September 15.

But summer is not over, and there’s plenty of new titles to stream in the Disney bundle. Disney+ will premiere new Star Wars and “Winnie the Pooh” titles for kids, as well as the original series “Are You Sure?!” following BTS’s Jimin and Jung Kook. Hulu will become home to “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” “The Woman King,” “Smile,” and more movie titles, as well as the home for FX series — this month: “The New York Times Presents: Lie to Fly: Documentary Premiere.” Hulu originals “Solar Opposites” returns on August 12, and “Reasonable Doubt” for its second season starting August...

If you’ve been following Disney Parks news at all lately, you’re well aware of the June 28th opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom (with Disneyland’s version opening later this year). With the opening only days away, let’s take a look at the inspiration behind Disney’s newest attraction, with a few fun facts about the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog.

Groundbreaking Firsts

The Princess and the Frog is well known as being one of Disney’s last full-length feature films to be animated using traditional two-dimensional hand animation (with the last fully hand-animated film being 2011’s Winnie the Pooh).

But let’s focus here on the number of FIRSTs brought to life in this film. Princess Tiana represents Disney’s first African-American princess.

Made on a budget of less than $100,000, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (watch it Here) earned more than $6 million during its global release in early 2023… and sure, the movie racked up the Razzies, but it’s money that matters, and that’s why Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 was made and given a theatrical release earlier this year. We know the Australia-based company Umbrella Entertainment will be giving the film a special edition Blu-ray release next month, and now it has been announced (via Collider) that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will be receiving a VOD release in the United States on June 26th!

A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of last year, and that’s how Frake-Waterfield was able to make these movies happen, no permission required.

Another day, another former Disney creative leaves the studio to join another. This time, it is Don Hall, perhaps best known for his directorial work on films such as Big Hero 6, Moana, and Raya and the Last Dragon.

When he joined the studio his first major project was 1999’s Tarzan. He would go on to work on films such as The Emperor’s New Groove, Brother Bear, and Chicken Little.

He eventually climbed the ladder and wrote the screenplay for 2007’s Meet the Robinsons. His directorial debut finally came with 2011’s Winnie the Pooh. He would make back-to-back hits with Big Hero 6 in 2014 and Moana in 2016. His later films, such as Raya and the Last Dragon and Strange World, however, left much to be desired.

In addition to writing and directing, Hall would also be part of the creative leadership team on films such as Zootipia, Ralph Breaks the Internet,...

Skydance Animation is getting into business with Oscar-winning filmmaker Don Hall.

Hall, known for such Disney movies as Big Hero 6 and the original Moana, has closed a deal with the company. The pact will see him create, develop and produce an original animated feature for Skydance, although project details are not currently available.

The filmmaker launched his career with Walt Disney Animation Studios, where he worked on such features as Tarzan (1999), The Emperor’s New Groove (2000) and Chicken Little (2005). Later, he was credited as head of story on Meet the Robinsons (2007) and The Princess and the Frog (2009) before directing the animated musical movie Winnie the Pooh (2011).

Hall directed the 2014 Disney film Big Hero 6, in addition to serving as executive producer for its Disney+ spinoff series Baymax! He earned an Oscar alongside fellow director Chris Williams and producer Roy Conli when the title prevailed for best animated feature at the 2015 Academy Awards ceremony.

Teddiscare began life as another Winnie the Pooh horror film, but after “receiving a “cease and desist” from another company who made a killer teddy bear movie based of [sic] a popular character with a copyright that had recently entered public domain, we consulted with an amazing lawyer”. Said lawyer told them a larger company was about to start suing anyone who used the character, so they decided to just change the name. I wonder how brilliant they think that lawyer is now that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is going into production as well as a killer Bambi film and Disney hasn’t unleashed their lawyers?

Teddiscare opens with news on the radio about a worker falling into the machinery at a toy factory and bits of his body being stuffed into hundreds of teddy bears.

The honey-heavy horror sequel is finally heading to UK screens in June, we’ve learned. More details on Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 below.

Update, 26.4.: We’ve now learned that not only is Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey heading to cinemas on 7 June, it’ll also be available on digital, DVD and Blu-ray in the UK and Ireland on 1st July. Full details here.

We reported recently that Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 3 was in the works. At the time, the second film in the franchise was already out in the UK but we were struggling to find any information about a UK release.

Michael Ilesanmi is back on social media, but without a wedding band and without caring about what his wife, Angela Deem, thinks about him.

Michael and Angela’s up-and-down relationship has been playing out since 2018, when they debuted their storyline in Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.

Since then, the franchise’s most tumultuous couple has appeared in several spinoffs, chronicling their rollercoaster of a love story.

Off camera, we’ve learned that things between Michael and Angela haven’t improved since we were introduced to them six years ago.

Most recently, Michael went missing in Georgia after finally arriving in the U.S. on his K-1 visa.

There is not much known about Prince Harry’s relationship with is three nephews: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, who just turned six. When all three were born, Harry still had a decent relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, Prince William and Kate Middleton, but so much has changed over the last five years.

Harry seemingly used to spoil his niece and nephews, though, with rumors that he once paid nearly $10,000 for one of Prince Louis’ Christening gifts.

"Blood and Honey" provides a dark twist on Winnie-the-Pooh, with extreme violence and a murderous rampage by Pooh and Piglet. "Pooh's Grand Adventure" predates the horror setup of "Blood and Honey," featuring trauma and unsettling imagery in the Hundred Acre Wood. "Blood and Honey" misses the mark by abandoning the essence of the original stories, unlike "Pooh's Grand Adventure" which effectively unsettles its audience.

Although Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey made headlines for its irreverent treatment of A.A. Milne's beloved source material, the film was not the first time the franchise has veered into horror territory. The 2023 movie's premise sees beloved characters Pooh and Piglet transformed into horrific caricatures of themselves, embarking on a murderous and vengeance-fuelled rampage. While this is a far cry from Disney's child-friendly depictions of the classic characters, one earlier movie does predate Blood and Honey's horrifying setup.

Made for a budget of just $50,000, Blood and...

Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the best and most popular anime and manga series of all time. A supernatural and manga phenomenon, it has successfully garnered a huge fan following across the world. Thanks to its gripping storyline and dynamic characters, the mythos has become an integral part of pop culture.

Jujutsu Kaisen

While its alluring characters and intriguing narrative are to be hailed as the reason for its worldwide popularity, the series’ numerous pop cultural references have also played a pivotal role. From Michael Jackson to Quentin Tarantino, the manga and anime have made several iconic references.

So, without further ado, here are 5 of the best pop-culture references that Jujutsu Kaisen has made:

Ever since Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain in 2022, most of the projects that were announced from the non-Disney side of things have been more adult-oriented. One went the stoner comedy route, while another and more popular take was horror with the 2023 slasher film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Despite primarily negative reviews, the film went somewhat viral online, thus leading to a direct sequel and even starting an entire cinematic universe.

Now it has been announced that a third film in the series is in the works from production company Jagged Edge Productions. The third film will apparently round out the cast of book characters, with not only Rabbit appearing but also Heffalump(s) and Woozle(s). No mention of Jagular(s), though. This film will also apparently have a budget higher of the first two. Disney is most likely not happy with their continued butchering of these classic characters.

Pinocchio: Unstrung offers a fresh horror retelling of the classic puppet story by Carlo Collodi, set to terrify audiences in 2024. The movie is part of the Twisted Child Universe, known for giving horror makeovers to public-domain children's tales like Winnie the Pooh. With no announced production or cast yet, it remains to be seen if Pinocchio: Unstrung will outshine the cult following of 1996's Pinocchio's Revenge, the first official horror remake of Pinocchio.

The classic puppet Pinocchio is set to be given a horror makeover in the upcoming horror Pinocchio: Unstrung, but this is not the first time that the puppet has received horror treatment. This upcoming movie is set to give audiences a new, frightening glimpse at the puppet who wishes to become a real boy. Early images released of the upcoming slasher have guaranteed a different take on the popular story written by Carlo Collodi.

It's official: Winnie the Pooh is getting his very own horror trilogy. That's right! Even though "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2" just hit theaters for a limited engagement through Fathom Events, Jagged Edge Productions has announced that a third installment in the franchise is already underway. The so-called Twisted Childhood Universe continues to expand by the day.

According to Variety, Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Chambers of Jagged Edge Productions have confirmed a third installment in the budding franchise based on the beloved characters created by A.A. Milne. But since they entered the public domain a couple of years ago, the filmmakers have taken a great deal of creative license and turned them into feral, murderous creatures. The experiment has worked as the first "Blood and Honey" was a genuine box office surprise, pulling in more than $5 million on a budget of less than $50,000.

Plot details for the third...

Winnie the Pooh has been a childhood icon of many for years. Known for his kindness of heart and naiveness, the yellow bear from A. A. Milne and E.H. Shepard’s imagination has been a comfort character for countless children for decades. And so to have it reimagined as a horror and serial murderer character is an absolutely horrendous and baffling idea.

Winnie the Pooh is a beloved cartoon character (in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh)

A fact that was acknowledged by the critical success of the movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. However, that might have all changed seeing the impressive debut of its sequel, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.

To have one of the warmest, nicest, kindest, and loveable characters...

Plot: Not wanting to live in the shadows any longer, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl and Tigger take their fight to the town of Ashdown, leaving a bloody trail of death and mayhem in their wake.

Review: Last year’s Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey proved to be one of the worst horror films of the year. It was my least favorite theatrical experience and completely barren of any passion. It was a dull affair that failed to deliver much on the horror or the fun. So I rolled my eyes when a sequel was announced. Then they reached near the back of my skull when the Poohniverse was announced. But I’m here to tell you that it appears the filmmakers learned their lesson and understand what their films need to be: fun.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 follows Christopher Robin (now played by Scott Chambers) one year...

For more than 40 years now, moviegoers have lined up to see the spectacle of people being slaughtered by a psycho with a chainsaw, a psycho in a Halloween mask, a psycho in a goalie mask, a psycho with burnt skin and a striped shirt and fedora, or a psycho with S&m nails in his face. So why not a psycho Winnie the Pooh?

“Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” raised a few hackles — otherwise known as free publicity — for having the scuzzy temerity to take a couple of beloved children’s characters and place them at the center of a slasher film. Yet the stunt concept was about all there was to it. The movie, made on a budget of $50,000, was too logy and inept to be a real scandal, or any sort of theatrical sleeper hit. On paper, “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” sounded like an extreme TikTok video,...

If the original Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey, as the exact same movie, had been made in Italy during the ‘70s, it’s just the sort of film Quentin Tarantino would be hailing as a lost masterpiece today.

A Winnie the Pooh slasher film is getting the sequel treatment, and the newly-minted “Twisted Childhood Universe (Tcu)” is getting its first major crossover event.

Just months after Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain in 2022, Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios made waves for producing Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, a slasher film depicting A.A. Milne’s beloved characters of the Hundred Acre Wood as feral, blood-hungry killers. Despite very, very negative critical reception (it has a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes), the film made $5 million at the box office on a $50,000 budget, and led to other planned horror films featuring children’s characters now in the public domain like Bambi, Pinocchio, and the characters of Peter Pan.

Now, a grand cinematic crossover event with these characters is imminent: Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble will hit theaters in 2025. As reported by Variety, the Avengers-style low-budget horror crossover will see Winnie the Pooh join villainous forces with Bambi,...

Ah, the magic of the public domain. The arch nemesis of studios and corporations and copyright lawyers everywhere is nothing but a boon to the rest of us, allowing literally anyone to get their hands on famous properties and shamelessly twist and pervert them beyond all recognition. That's precisely what happened with the beloved character of Winnie the Pooh just over two years ago, allowing for a slew of knockoff (and frankly terrible) B-movie horror flicks like "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" and its upcoming sequel. Well, things are about to kick into another gear entirely as an entire shared universe is apparently now in the works.

Just when you thought it was safe to visit the Hundred Acre Wood again. In the bloodiest and most un-family-friendly news we'll probably get this week, Variety revealed that the creative team responsible for "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" is now...

The results are in on the 2024 Razzie Awards, and it was a very big (but not necessarily great) night for one movie and one actress this year.

The annual awards show, which took place one day before the 2024 Oscars on Saturday (March 9), hands out awards to performers and movies that have been deemed the “worst.”

Going into the ceremony, Expend4bles led the pack of nominees with 7 nods in categories such as Worst Picture and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off of Sequel.

However, when it came time for the awards to be handed out, another movie swept the field, picking up five Razzies. One actress also won big, being named Worst Actress and Worst Supporting Actress.

However, one Hollywood icon received redemption this year!
