Aisholpan Nurgaiv has never met this eagle she’s posing with — borrowed from a local animal wrangler — on a balcony at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. In 90-degree heat, she’s a 15-year-old girl sweating in her Mongolian winter clothes, including a hat made from the first fox she…
Ben Younger’s workmanlike but nevertheless rousing Bleed for This accomplishes something that’s a tall order for any boxing movie: It makes the inspirational training-montage sequences weird.

The first couple of walls Douglas Hoekzema ever painted were at his high school. He thinks the murals are still there today: three large faces and the school’s mascot, a shark. Almost 20 years after leaving Spanish River High, the artist now known as Hoxxoh has graduated to bigger things…
When Lauren Foster was outed as transgender in tabloid magazines in the 1980s, the Vogue model thought her career was over. Rather than slink into the shadows, though, the striking South African blonde mustered the courage to own her gender identity at a time when the Zeitgeist wasn’t nearly as…
