NEED TO KNOW

  • Cox drew inspiration from real-life figures like serial murderer Ted Bundy and Scottish killer Peter Manhill to shape his portrayal, he told Woman's World

  • The actor emphasized Lecter's intellect and lack of empathy, creating a restrained yet deeply unsettling interpretation of the character

Long beforeAnthony Hopkins defined Dr. Hannibal Lecterfor mainstream audiences,Brian Coxbrought the character to life inManhunter.

The film marked the first time Lecter appeared on screen, adapted from Thomas Harris' 1981 novelRed Dragon. Years later, Hopkins would turn the role into a cultural touchstone inThe Silence of the Lambs.

Looking back during a recent interview withWoman's World, Cox reflected on the real-life influences that shaped his approach to the character. "I saw a lot of those [Ted] Bundy trials," the 79-year-old told the outlet. "I tried to tap into Bundy's kind of almost acceptability."

InManhunter,William Petersenplays FBI profiler Will Graham, who is drawn out of retirement to track a brutal killer known as the Tooth Fairy. To help make sense of the crimes, he seeks insight from the imprisoned Lecter.

Although the Michael Mann film didn't find much success when it first hit theaters, Cox's restrained and quietly unsettling performance has earned a stronger appreciation over time.

Instead of portraying Lecter as outwardly monstrous, he leaned into the character's composure and ability to appear completely ordinary. To Cox, that sense of normalcy made the character all the more disturbing, suggesting that danger doesn't always announce itself.

To create this character, Cox also drew on unsettling figures from his own past.

"When I was a kid in Scotland, there had been a couple of killers of some repute. There was a guy called Peter Manhill, and he killed a whole slew of people," he explained. "This was before the notion of serial killers ever came around. Serial killer was sort of an '80s invention, really. But this guy was fascinating because he also conducted his own defense, like Bundy did."

Bundyraped and murdered young women and girlsacross the country from 1974 to 1978. He claimed to have murdered at least 30 women and girls, but investigatorsbelieve it was over double that. The killer, who represented himself during parts of his murder trials, was ultimately convicted of his crimes and sentenced to death. He died by electric chair on Jan. 24, 1989.

In contrast to Hopkins' later, more theatrical and "gothic" portrayal, Cox aimed for psychological realism by emphasizing ego over spectacle.

"The other thing was something that came out of the Nuremberg Trials," theSuccessionactor toldWoman's World. "They said that the whole definition of evil was an almost chronic lack of empathy. I think that is, ultimately, what Hannibal Lecter has."

The women of the long-running game show are now back in the spotlight in E!'sDirty Rotten Scandalsdocuseries, which features a two-part episode aboutThe Price is Right.

Some of the former models, likeHolly Hallstromand Kathleen Bradley, participated in the documentary, recounting some of their negative experiences being sexualized on the show.

"When I initially started the show, everybody was pretty cool, really friendly, especially the crew," Bradley said in the episodes. "But over a course of time, I kind of noticed the guys were kind of talking, looking, gawking at the girls. I found out this is a little more commonplace than I thought."

Here's where some of the most notable models fromThe Price Is Rightare today.

"Every time you went to the studio, you had to sit with lawyers who all they wanted to hear was all the bad stuff about Dian and how Bob could not have possibly sexually harassed Dian," Hallstrom said inDirty Rotten Scandals.

Parkinson has stayed out of the spotlight since her time onThe Price is Right, and she did not participate in theDirty Rotten Scandalsdocuseries.

Bradley continued, "When I reported this guy to the producers? To my surprise, no action was taken. I was really taken aback. This was really sexual harassment. So I took matters into my own hands."

Robert Pattinson once got in trouble as a kid for lying and saying his dad was Michael Jackson

Robert Pattinsonhas been lying for a long time.

Entertainment Weekly Robert Pattinson in Los Angeles on March 15, 2026; Michael Jackson in London on March 5, 2009Credit: Steve Granitz/FilmMagic; Tim Whitby/Getty

TheLighthousestar reflected on his predilection for public fibbing during an interview withJimmy Kimmel Livewhile promoting his new filmThe Dramaon Thursday, noting that he's been stretching the truth since his youth.

"I kinda thought it was something which I did when I was older, just 'cause of interviews, but I did get in trouble quite a lot for doing that," Pattinson said. "I got in trouble at school."

The first childhood lie that came to mind? "I said my dad wasMichael Jacksonat show and tell," theTwilightactor recalled.

Pattinson said that his bizarre mistruth stemmed from his childhood fascination with ginkgo biloba supplements.

"I always really liked the name of the pills," he explained. "And then I guess my parents were both taking that, and I had this tape, I just recorded a tape — Michael Jackson's actual album, recorded it, and said, 'My dad's been taking this medicine called ginkgo biloba, and this is him singing.' And I got in lots of trouble for that."

Unfortunately for Pattinson, his condition might be hereditary, as he said that lying comes easily to his daughter, whom he welcomed with his fiancée Suki Waterhouse in March 2024.

"She could find it very easy to lie to herself already," he explained. "She'll walk into a room, she's like, 'I see…giraffe!' And I'm like, 'You do?' And it's incredibly convincing. She's either got a sixth sense, or she's a fantasist."

TheMickey 17star also said that his daughter won't fall for his fibs.

"I don't think she'd believe me," he said. "Already I can tell, she can see through me very, very easily."

Pattinson has a long history of telling made-up stories about himself while promoting his films. In 2024, he admitted that he fullyfabricated a taleabout witnessing a clown die in a car explosion in a 2011 interview.

"There was absolutely no hesitation at all [in my voice]," Pattinson said of his lie in an interview withThe New York Times'Tmagazine. "I'm like, 'What on Earth? Are you possessed?'"

He also claimed that hewasn't working outto play Batman inThe Batmanduring an interview withGQ. "I'm just barely doing anything," he said. "I think if you're working out all the time, you're part of the problem."

Two years later, however, he admitted that he wasn't telling the truth about his workout regimen. "I just always think it's really embarrassing to talk about how you're working out," hetoldMovieMaker. "You're playing Batman. You have to work out. I think I was doing the interview when I was in lockdown, as well, in England … I was in a lower gear of working out."

Pattinson also told (orsaidthat he told) his classmates that he was a drug dealer in order to impress older kids at school.

"My first proper-ish kind of girlfriend was a few years above me, and I always wanted to hang out with the cool kids, who were in the oldest year," hetoldGQ. "And some of us decided that I'd pretend that I was importing drugs. But I didn't even know what drugs looked like. So I had this idea I'd get floppy disks, open up the floppy disk, pour this kind of powder stuff inside, and then spray it with, like, some kind of cleaning product so that it'd smell chemical-y, and seal all of it in. I bought, like, 40 floppy disks, and then I'd show it to kids who were probably 15 or 16, and I'd be like: Yeah, I'm importing drugs in floppy discs."

Surprise, embarrassment, unease in Japan after Trump uses Pearl Harbor to defend Iran war

TOKYO (AP) — Senior U.S. and Japanese officials tend to shy away from anything but very careful public comments about Japan's 1941 sneak attack on U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor. So there was embarrassment, confusion and unease on Saturday in Japan afterPresident Donald Trump casually used the World War II attackto justify his secrecy before launching the war against Iran.

Associated Press

The Japanese discomfort was compounded by the fact that JapanesePrime Minister Sanae Takaichiwas sitting awkwardly at Trump's side as he spoke.

Partly, the reaction is linked to the crucial security and economic role that the U.S. plays for Japan, its top ally in the region. Put simply, Japan needs to make sure the U.S. relationship thrives. That's why Takaichi was in Washington.

But it's also a reflection of just how fresh the political debate about Japan's role in World War II remains here, even 80 years after its end.

Senior leaders, including Takaichi, have argued that Japan has apologized enough for what happened in the war. Takaichi herself has recently hinted at visiting Tokyo's controversial Yasukuni Shrine, where Japanese war criminals are honored among the 2.5 million war dead.

It is, however, somewhat startling for Japan to see these history questions spill over into a White House summit.

On Friday, when asked by a Japanese reporter why he didn't tell allies in Europe and Asia ahead of the U.S. attack on Iran, Trump cited Pearl Harbor to defend his decision, saying, 'Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

The liberal leaning Asahi newspaper said in an editorial Saturday that Trump's comments "should not be overlooked."

"Making such a remark to justify a sneak attack and boast about its outcome is a piece of nonsense that ignores lessons from history," Asahi said.

Claims of rudeness

Social media reaction has ranged from accusations of ignorance and rudeness by the U.S. president to claims that he didn't see Japan as an equal partner. There were calls for Japan to protest what Trump said.

Tsuneo Watanabe, a senior fellow at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, said in an online opinion piece published in the Nikkei newspaper Saturday that the comment signaled that Trump was "not bound by existing American common sense."

"I get the impression that the comment was intended to bring the Japanese reporter (who asked the question) or Ms. Takaichi into complicity in order to justify his 'sneak attack' on Iran during diplomatic negotiations and without telling allied countries," Watanabe said.

There's also a feeling that an unspoken understanding exists between U.S. and Japanese leaders to tread carefully on the subject. Both sides need each other, with Washington relying on Japan to host 50,000 troops and an array of powerful hi-tech weapons, and Japan relying on the U.S. nuclear umbrella to deter hostile, nuclear-armed neighbors.

Japan's post-World War IIconstitution bans the use of forceexcept for its self-defense, but Takaichi and other officials are now seeking to expand the military's role.

When it comes to U.S.-Japan reconciliation, many here look to the example of former leaders Barack Obama and Shinzo Abe, who in 2016 paid tribute together at the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor and at the Hiroshima Peace Park.

Mixed reaction for Japan's leader

Takaichi, a hard-line conservative, was praised for not reacting to the comments by Trump, letting them pass with a roll of her eyes and a glance at her ministers seated nearby.

After all,the goal of her summitwas to deepen ties with her most important ally, not debate World War II. She arrived shortly after Trump suggested that Japan was among the nations that did not quickly join his call to help protect theStrait of Hormuz.

Some, however, criticized Takaichi for not speaking up.

Hitoshi Tanaka, a former diplomat and a special adviser at the Japan Research Institute think tank, wrote on X that he felt embarrassed to see Takaichi flattering Trump.

"As national leaders, they are equals. … To make an equal relationship is not to flatter," he said. "Just doing what pleases Trump and calling it a success if you are not hurt is too sad."

Reporter criticized

There was initial blame on social media of the Japanese reporter who asked the question that prompted Trump's Pearl Harbor comment.

The reporter, Morio Chijiiwa with TV Asahi, later said on a talk show that he asked the question to represent the feelings of Japanese who are not happy about Trump's one-sided attack on Iran, and because other countries, including Japan, are being asked to help out.

"So that's why I asked the question. I was meaning to say, Why didn't you tell us, why are you troubling us?" he said. "Then President Trump hit back with the Pearl Harbor attack. … I found it extremely awkward for him to change the subject."

Junji Miyako, 53, said Takaichi flattering Trump felt more condescending to him than the President's Pearl Harbor remark.

"I was so frustrated to see Takaichi didn't even say anything to Trump to stop the war," he said. "I think Trump's Pearl Harbor comment was stupid, but to me the war he started is a much bigger problem."

Doulas can improve health outcomes for women and babies. Insurers are taking notice.

Like many first-time moms, Nathalia Marin Torres was excited when she found out she was pregnant last August, but she was also a bit nervous. The 33-year-old Colombia native didn't click with her OB-GYN and felt like she needed more support navigating the health care system in the United States.

NBC Universal

"When you're kind of far away from family and from your culture, it's a little bit overwhelming," Torres said.

She was referred to Alexia Franco Pettersen, a Mexican American doula in Minneapolis. Pettersen is helping guide Torres throughprenatal visitsand preparing for postpartum. She'll be there for the entirety of her labor and delivery, whenever and however long that may be, and provide support after the birth as well.

Doulas. (NBC News)

Torres likened it to the extra support she would get if she were back in Colombia with her family.

The decision to work with a doula was made easier when she learned that Pettersen's $2,400 cost would be covered by her insurance.

This year, UnitedHealthcare became the first major insurer to start adding a doula benefit to plans across the country. By next year, all of the company's employer-sponsored plans will have access to the benefit.

Torres' plan is among those that got doula coverage this year.

Typically, doula services have not been covered by insurance, putting them out of reach for many women, said Usha Ranji, an associate director of the women's health policy program at KFF, a nonpartisan research group. United's decision reflects a growing awareness about doulas and how they can improvepregnant women's health, she said.

Dr. Denise De Los Santos, an OB-GYN at University Hospital in San Antonio, said insurance coverage for doulas should be the norm.

"I think it's about time we do something to help moms," said De Los Santos, adding that anything that could help more women feel supported during pregnancy is important.

Over the past 13 years, at least 26 states have begun requiring Medicaid coverage for doulas, according to theNational Health Law Program's Doula Medicaid Project. Four states — Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana and Rhode Island — require some private plans to do the same.

"We think that doula care is an important step in improving health care outcomes for women going through pregnancy and delivery and postpartum, especially for women of color," said Dr. Margaret-Mary Wilson, the chief medical officer for UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare.

'A health equity intervention'

Doulas aren't doctors, nurses ormidwives, but can work with women during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum in the role of an advocate and coach.

"When health care systems are stretching nurses and doctors to maybe not be able to learn all the details of someone's life during a 15-minute prenatal appointment, then doulas are able to learn more about those things, provide them extra resources, amplify their voice," said Pettersen, who has been a doula for 12 years.

There are multiple organizations that offer doula certifications, including DONA International and the National Black Doulas Association, but no single body oversees the profession.

Doulas typically spend hours getting to know their clients, discussing how they would like to give birth and advocating for those wishes during labor and delivery. During the birth, they can help with nonmedical pain management by suggesting different positions and breathing techniques. Once women are home with their baby, some doulas can guide them through breastfeeding and even help prepare healthy meals.

Doulas. (NBC News)

The U.S. continues to seehigh levels of maternal mortality, and major medical organizations like theAmerican College of Obstetricians and Gynecologistshave noted that the continuous support doulas provide can help improve outcomes for women in labor.

Studies have showndoulas can decrease the rates of preterm births,cesarean sections and postpartum depression.

"The state of maternal health in the country has reached a critical point. The number of preventable pregnancy-related deaths, pregnancy-related complications, the mental health prevalence in women who are pregnant is unacceptable," United's Wilson said.

Pettersen, the doula working with Torres, said she's been in delivery rooms where doctors have dismissed patients' concerns about certain medical interventions because of language barriers. "Doulas are a health equity intervention," she said.

"Sometimes it's even having the providers understand culturally this is what the patient is wanting and getting them on board," said Pettersen, who is also fluent in Spanish.

Erica Lane decided to become a doula after having a bad birth experience. "I didn't want women to go through what I went through," she said. During the birth of her second daughter, she felt coerced into getting an epidural and her "birth plan was literally thrown in the trash."

Lane, who is president of DONA International, said she's glad more women will potentially have access to doulas because of United's new benefit, but worries its reimbursement model — which requires people to pay upfront, and the insurer will later reimburse them — will be a barrier for some women. "It is a good start, but there's definitely room for improvement," she said.

Hawaii Flooding Update: Oahu Faces Worst Flooding In 20 Years As Damage Nears $1 Billion

Flooding across Oahu is now the worst Hawaii has seen in over 20 years. More than 230 people have been rescued so far. Some 5,500 people remain under evacuation orders.

The Weather Channel Craig Fujii/Hawaii Civil Beat via AP

Damage estimates have hit $1 billion and climbing, with homes, roads, schools, airports and a Maui hospital have all been impacted.

Emergency crews are still conducting search-and-rescue operations.

The National Guard and Honolulu Fire Department airlifted 72 children and adults who had been attending a spring break youth camp in affected areas.

At least 10 people have been hospitalized for hypothermia.

Parts of Oahu have seen more than 8 inches of rain with several more inches expected this weekend.

Officials are monitoring the 120-year-old Wahiawa dam, which is near critical levels. Unauthorized drones are interfering with rescue efforts. Do not fly drones in affected areas.

Hawaii officials have ordered an evacuation in the area downstream of the Wahiawa dam as the 120-year-old dam might be overtopped. The area north of Honolulu has been inundated by heavy rain and catastrophic flash flooding has hit the island of Oahu.

Officials have told residents to leave the area immediately as the dam "may collapse or breach at any time." The warning adds that residents should carpool because of heavy traffic on the island.

Emergency sirens blared along Oahu's famed North Shore, where rising waters also damaged homes. Honolulu officials issued a "LEAVE NOW" evacuation order at 5:35 a.m. Friday for Waialua and Haleiwa: "Extremely dangerous flooding and Wahiawa Dam is high."

Craig Fujii/Honolulu Civil Beat via AP

The North Shore of Oahu has been under flash flood warnings since early Friday morning.

A series of low pressure systems continues to dredge up tropical Pacific moisture and fling that moisture over the Hawaiian Islands. Given the very heavy rainfall in the first of these Kona lows last weekend in addition to these smaller system, the rainfall has really added up. Without an extended break, this flooding could continue for a while.

According toSenior Digital Meteorologist, Jonathan Belles, "This flooding in some ways is connected to the heat dome entrenched into the Lower 48. We often talk when one area of the country is seeing heat, another is seeing cooler, wetter weather." Belles adds, "Right now, the West is seeing heat and the East is seeing slightly stormier weather. Well, that pattern continues west, too. That cooler, wetter weather persists over Hawaii and into Alaska. Until some major storm system can shove this pattern into a different gear or the pattern can slowly break down, this flooding and heat will persist."

The Hawaii National Guard has been activated in response to the flooding. Governor Josh Green says, "The storm of course is very severe right now, particularly on the northern part of Oahu." He added, "It's going to be a very touch-and-go-day."

Most of the state remains under a flood watch.
