Actor Florence Pugh is a person of many talents. In addition to acting, she's also capable of handling her hot sauces (as proven on "Hot Ones"), is an excellent cook who really loves food (courtesy of her "Cooking With Flo" Instagram stories), and, apparently, she's also a singer/songwriter. Long-time fans may have already known that Pugh could sing, as she used to perform as Flossie Ross on her YouTube channel. "A Good Person" writer and director Zach Braff wrote the main role of Allison, a young woman dealing with addiction and grief, specifically for Pugh, and he decided to include the actor's musical talents and history a part of the character as well. Allison uses music to help herself heal, and sings and plays music in the movie. That might be intimidating for an actor, but Pugh also apparently wrote all of the songs herself.

Gordon Pinsent, the adored Canadian actor whose career hit its peak well into his 70s with an award-winning performance as the heartbroken husband in “Away From Her”, has died.
Pinset died on Saturday evening at age 92, his friend actor Mark Critch confirmed.
The Newfoundland native, a household name in Canada for decades after his many appearances on stage and screen, became known internationally after his Genie Award-winning turn as Grant in Sarah Polley’s acclaimed directorial debut.
His dignified portrayal so impressed Daniel Day-Lewis, who went on to win the best actor Oscar in 2008 for “There Will Be Blood,” that he sent an email to Polley praising Pinsent’s performance as one of the most “astonishing” he’d ever seen.
