True Grit

Awkward Emily Dickinson Hailee Steinfeld

HAILEE STEINFELD: HER AWKWARD YEARS NEVER HAPPENED

Hailee Steinfeld started young and was barely 13 when her first big film True Grit was released in 2010 and it ignited her career with a bang- she got lots of awards and nominations. After that she grew up right before our eyes – that can be awkward, but it wasn’t for her. We thought that bodybuilder Jake Seinfeld was her father and feared that she would grow up to look like him! (She didn’t- Jake turned out to be her uncle.) Most child stars grow up to be short, but Hailee is 5’8” and modeled for big designers – plus she has a successful singing career (and she dated Niall Horan) She’s currently starring on the Emily Dickinson AppleTV series. Now 24, she looks adorable doing business in New York!

John Wayne Thanks for the Memories True Grit

JOHN WAYNE LONG BEFORE TRUE GRIT

True Grit is all over the place this week with the Coen brothers’ remake pulling in admirable boxoffice and numerous award nominations. In the 1969 original John Wayne played the cantankerous rooster Cogburn role and he won an Oscar. Wayne was in his 60’s then and had survived lung cancer surgery after confessing to a five pack a day habit. But once upon a time John Wayne was a handsome young actor and here’s the photo to prove it.
