It’s been 30 years since director Cameron Crowe’s romantic comedy movie ‘Singles’ made it to the big screen. Intended as a snapshot of the nascent grunge scene in Seattle, the film featured Matt Dillon, Bridget Fonda, Campbell Scott, and Kyra Sedgwick.The movie centers around a small group of 20-somethings who happen to live in the same apartment building in Seattle, Washington- the grunge music capital of the world. Although it only had moderate success at the box office, the film received mostly positive reviews and has become somewhat of a cult film among '90s music fans.Although the music scene it documented and championed had since degenerated into the same rock n’ roll clichés it set out to destroy, the movie remains a pleasant throwback of what it meant to have come of age in the turbulent '90s. In celebration of the film's 30th year, here's a brief rundown of facts about the film, its actors, and what they are up to today.

Hollywood reeled at the news of Ray Liotta's unexpected death on May 26, 2022. Liotta, best known for his role as Shoeless Joe Jackson in the movie 'Field of Dreams' and as Henry Hill in the Martin Scorcese gangster film 'Goodfellas,' is survived by his daughter actress Karsen Liotta from his previous marriage to Michelle Grace.Liotta left behind a diverse body of work that ranged from playing nice-guy roles to psychopathic characters and everything in between. He would even provide the voice for a popular video game character. Let's take a quick peek at the talented actor's career and private life and discover why his demise is a huge loss to the entertainment industry.

Sean Penn is one of the most talented film performers of his generation. His moving and intense performances have earned him 71 awards in his 48 years as an actor. He has drawn much media attention for his political and social activism as much as for his tempestuous romantic life.

Alfred James 'Al' Pacino established himself as an actor in the 1970s, probably cinema's most vibrant decade. With 49 films under his belt and a career spanning more than half a century, his portrayal of iconic characters such as Sonny Wortzik (Dog Day Afternoon), Tony Montana (Scarface), and Michael Corleone (Godfather) has definitely withstood the test of time. While some critics disapprove of his somewhat over-the-top acting style, no one can deny that he is one of the finest actors to grace the stage and the screen. Let's look at some of the achievements and net worth of one of Hollywood's most outspoken proponents of method acting.

When Quentin Tarantino made his first film ‘My Best Friend’s Birthday’ in 1987, he was an inexperienced director who had more enthusiasm than talent. Fast forward to 2022 and with 12 feature films under his directorial belt, Tarantino is now considered one of the best directors of his generation. His early films single-handedly reinvigorated a then limp film industry that was churning out the usual pap to audiences who are incapable of distinguishing Cassavetes from common feces.But kidding aside, the fact that most of his movies (characterized by nonlinear storylines, stylized violence, dark humor, and dialogue-driven narratives) became Hollywood blockbusters is no small feat.Let's examine how this proud, self-proclaimed film geek found himself on equal footing with the directorial heavyweights of the past and take a peek at his fortune and net worth.
