Recently interviewed for the New York Times to promote their new film, the couple was asked about a recent family move to Australia, here’s an excerpt:

How much does family figure into your career choices?

MELISSA McCARTHY The carnival moves as one. Where we can do that, we pack up the tent and we all go together, and that’s usually what presents itself as the winning solution.

Australia, for instance?

BEN FALCONE We had just finished a superhero movie called “Thunder Force.” We had just come home and we promised our kids, “That’s it.” And then Covid hit.

McCARTHY: Then I got a call saying, “Would you consider going to Australia to shoot ‘Nine Perfect Strangers?’” [That series is based on the novel by Liane Moriarty and also stars Nicole Kidman.] And I said, “I can’t move my family across the globe.” We were both like: “This is madness. This is impossible to do.” And our oldest daughter came out for lunch from her Zoom class, and without a second’s hesitation she said, “We should leave today.”

The Funnier Side of Despots and Dictators

You can make almost anything a laughing matter, so why not look at the funnier side of history’s despots and dictators for a good laugh? The team here at Readro dug into our collection of ebooks and audiobooks to bring you the following fun facts:

Delicious dairy. Fidel Castro held a tight grip over Cuba, ruling first as Prime Minister then as President, although many considered him to be little more than a dictator throughout. But Castro held more than just a tight grip over his people, he also held a deep love for all things dairy, especially ice cream. In fact, Castro had a breed of cow genetically engineered from two other breeds that would be resistant to Cuba’s heat and would produce plenty of milk.

A lover of the Opera. Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s enigmatic Supreme Leader from 1994-2011 was actually born Yuri Irsenovich Kim in 1941 in the Soviet village of Vyatskoye, near Khabarovsk. A strict dictator by most accounts, Kim Jong Il had a softer side too, one that included a great love of opera. In fact, Il actually wrote six operas himself while in office.

A second career. Known primarily as the fascist dictator of Italy, Benito Mussolini had a reputation for being harsh and occasionally cruel. But before his life in politics Il Duce had a brief career in journalism, and even wrote a romance novel. Yes, a romance novel. Entitled The Cardinal's Mistress, the historical romance novel can still be ordered online to this very day, although it is apparently quite awful.

You Should Get to Know Fanny Brice

Long before Betty White became a pioneering trailblazer in the world of film and comedy, there was Faniah Borach, better known by her stage name, Fanny Brice. In a manner of speaking, Brice was showbusiness personified. The actress, comedienne, and singer wowed audiences in the theatres, on radio, and even in the early days of television.

"I've done everything in the theatre except marry a property man," Fanny Brice once boasted. "I've acted for Belasco and I've laid 'em out in the rows at the Palace. I've doubled as an alligator; I've worked for the Shuberts; and I've been joined to Billy Rose in the holy bonds. I've painted the house boards and I've sold tickets and I've been fired by George M. Cohan. I've played in London before the king and in Oil City before miners with lanterns in their caps."

Barbra Streisand did much for Fanny Brice when she portrayed the star on stage and screen in the 1964 hit musical Funny Girl, its subsequent film adaptation in 1968, and its sequel, Funny Lady, in 1975. But where Streisand’s portrayal left gaps, biographer Herbert G. Goldman filled them in with his account of Brice’s life and impressive career. The biography was first released back in 1992 but subsequent publications in various formats, including ebook, have made it more accessible than ever, and it’s well worth a read for any fan of comedy!
