Small boat Channel crossings continue after migrant total reaches 150,000LONDON — Olivia Hussey, the actor who starred as a teenage Juliet in the 1968 film "Romeo and Juliet," has died, her family said on social media Saturday. She was 73. Hussey died on Friday, "peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones," a statement posted to her Instagram account said. Hussey was 15 when director Franco Zeffirelli cast her in his adaptation of the William Shakespeare tragedy after spotting her onstage in the play "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," which also starred Vanessa Redgrave. "Romeo and Juliet" won two Oscars and Hussey won a Golden Globe for best new actress for her part as Juliet, opposite British actor Leonard Whiting, who was 16 at the time. Decades later Hussey and Whiting brought a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud over nude scenes in the film. They alleged that they were initially told they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in a bedroom scene, but on the day of the shoot Zeffirelli told the pair they would wear only body makeup and that the camera would be positioned in a way that would not show nudity. They alleged they were filmed in the nude without their knowledge. The case was dismissed by a Los Angeles County judge in 2023, who found their depiction could not be considered child pornography and the pair filed their claim too late. Whiting was among those paying tribute to Hussey on Saturday. "Rest now my beautiful Juliet no injustices can hurt you now. And the world will remember your beauty inside and out forever," he wrote. Hussey was born on April 17, 1951, in Bueno Aires, Argentina, and moved to London as a child. She studied at the Italia Conti Academy drama school. She also starred as Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the 1977 television series "Jesus of Nazareth," as well as the 1978 adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile" and horror movies "Black Christmas" and "Psycho IV: The Beginning." She is survived by her husband, David Glen Eisley, her three children and a grandson. Copyright 2024 NPR
Bayhorse Silver Underground Drilling Progress At The Bayhorse Silver MineBlue Star Foods Moves its Listing to OTC Markets under its current symbol BSFCIn an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times DealBook Summit in New York City on Wednesday, Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper confirmed that Donald Trump's campaign reached out to her team about appearing on her chart-topping podcast. The 30-year-old discussed her decision to have Vice President Kamala Harris come on her show despite trying to "stay away from politics." She also commented on Call Her Daddy being compared to The Joe Rogan Experience , hosted by Joe Rogan, who brought Donald Trump on as a guest in October ahead of the 2024 election. Presidential campaigns entering the podcasting space goes to show how influential the format can be among young people, who have become disillusioned by traditional media outlets. Call Her Daddy fans question if Alex Cooper will have Donald or Ivanka Trump on podcast Alex Cooper says her Kamala Harris Call Her Daddy episode is 'totally worth' the backlash After much speculation, it has been confirmed that Trump's people reached out to Call Her Daddy about appearing on the show, which is the most listened-to podcast among women. When Sorkin asked about how she was able to get a presidential nominee to agree to be on her show, Alex revealed: "Both sides reached out." Apparently, her team "had a Zoom call with Trump's team," but she "wasn't on it." While the podcast host tends to keep politics out of her show, she saw having the Vice President on as an opportunity to have "a larger conversation" about reproductive rights, a topic she and her listeners feel very strongly about. She said: "It's about women's right to their body. Why not have someone on [Call Her Daddy] who could have a big effect on the country? So I did it. And it was fun." She continued: "Joe Rogan has a conversation, he knows his audience. I know my audience," addressing the fact that Trump was a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience around the same time she hosted the VP. The popular podcaster admitted that she sometimes feels competitive with Rogan, who bested her for the number one spot as the most listened-to podcast, according to this year's Spotify Wrapped. The two are constantly compared, as they are seen as being on opposite sides of the gender spectrum, which extends to their guests. She said: "I don't think of Joe when I'm having my coffee every morning, But I'm aware of the comparison in the media... I have a lot of respect for what he's doing."

Switzerland's biggest bank, which is among the world's largest wealth managers, said the number of dollar billionaires increased from 1,757 to 2,682 over the past 10 years, peaking in 2021 with 2,686. The 10th edition of UBS's annual Billionaire Ambitions report, which tracks the wealth of the world's richest people, found that billionaires have comfortably outperformed global equity markets over the past decade. The report documents "the growth and investment of great wealth, as well as how it's being preserved for future generations and used to have a positive effect on society", said Benjamin Cavalli, head of strategic clients at UBS global wealth management. Between 2015 and 2024, total billionaire wealth increased by 121 percent from $6.3 trillion to $14.0 trillion -- while the MSCI AC World Index of global equities rose 73 percent. The wealth of tech billionaires increased the fastest, followed by that of industrialists. Worldwide, tech billionaires' wealth tripled from $788.9 billion in 2015 to $2.4 trillion in 2024. "In earlier years, the new billionaires commercialised e-commerce, social media and digital payments; more recently they engineered the generative AI boom, while also developing cyber-security, fintech, 3D printing and robotics," UBS said. The report found that since 2020, the global growth trend had slowed due to declines among China's billionaires. From 2015 to 2020, billionaire wealth grew globally at an annual rate of 10 percent, but growth has plunged to one percent since 2020. Chinese billionaire wealth more than doubled from 2015 to 2020, rising from $887.3 billion to $2.1 trillion, but has since fallen back to $1.8 trillion. However, North American billionaire wealth has risen 58.5 percent to $6.1 trillion since 2020, "led by industrials and tech billionaires". Meanwhile billionaires are relocating more frequently, with 176 having moved country since 2020, with Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and the United States being popular destinations. In 2024, some 268 people became billionaires for the first time, with 60 percent of them entrepreneurs. "The year's new billionaires were mainly self-made," said UBS. The report said US billionaires accrued the greatest gains in 2024, reinforcing the country's place as the world's main centre for billionaire entrepreneurs. Their wealth rose 27.6 percent to $5.8 trillion, or more than 40 percent of billionaire wealth worldwide. Billionaires' wealth from mainland China and Hong Kong fell 16.8 percent to $1.8 trillion, with the number of billionaires dropping from 588 to 501. Indian billionaires' wealth increased 42.1 percent to $905.6 billion, while their number grew from 153 to 185. Western Europe’s total billionaire wealth rose 16.0 percent to $2.7 trillion -- partly due to a 24 percent increase in Swiss billionaires. UAE billionaires' aggregate wealth rose 39.5 percent to $138.7 billion. UBS said billionaires faced an "uncertain world" over the next 10 years, due to high geopolitical tensions, trade barriers and governments with mounting spending requirements. Billionaires will therefore need to rely on their previous distinctive traits: "smart risk-taking, business focus and determination". "Risk-taking billionaires are likely to be at the forefront of creating two technology-related industries of the future already taking shape: generative AI and renewables/electrification," UBS predicted. And more flexible wealth planning will be needed as billionaire families move country and spread around the world. The heirs and philanthropic causes of baby boom billionaires are set to inherit an estimated $6.3 trillion over the next 15 years, UBS said. rjm/gv
