Anderson Cooper is coming to Broadway! The CNN newsman will voice the narrator in the upcoming How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying production starring Daniel Radcliffe. Cooper’s involvement isn’t exactly unprecedented: In 1995, Walter Cronkite performed the same vocal duties for the How to Succeed in Business revival that starred Matthew Broderick. This incarnation of the musical, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, begins previews on Feb. 26, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Though her career spanned four decades, York’s fame peaked early with a string of roles in films such as 1963′s Tom Jones, 1966′s A Man For All Seasons, 1968′s The Killing of Sister George, and 1969′s Battle of Britain that made her one of the icons of London’s swinging ’60s. In 1972, York won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in director Robert Altman’s psychological thriller Images. To many younger moviegoers, York may be best known for playing Superman’s Kryptonian mother Lara in 1978′s Superman, a role she reprised in 1980′s Superman II.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's right leg amputated above the knee

Filed under: Movies, News, TV

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s right leg has been amputated above the knee, after the actress went in for surgery on Friday, according to CNN. The 93-year-old actress’ surgeon at UCLA Medical Center said that a large, deep lesion, which was resistant to antibiotics, was the cause. “She seemed to tolerate it well, although she’s in a somewhat frail condition,” Dr. David Rigberg said. “We’re guarded in our opinion on how she’s going to do overall. She didn’t come in from home in very good health, so it’s difficult for me to predict how long she’s going to be here.” Gabor’s problems with her right leg stem from a November 2010 hospitalization, when the actress went in for swelling. Gabor, who is recovering now, has been primarily confined to a wheelchair since a 2002 car accident in Los Angeles.
