Lily Sheen Jokes Mom Kate Beckinsale

Lily Sheen is grateful for her supportive parents — even if they might have envisioned a different path for her. The 23-year-old daughter of actors Michael Sheen and Kate Beckinsale plays the child of a movie star in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, her first major movie role. Her character Addy is the daughter of Nick Cage (a fictionalized version of Nicolas Cage), who struggles to connect with her while searching for his next big project. Speaking with PEOPLE for this week's issue, Lily says her own experiences growing up with parents in the spotlight contrasts Massive Talent's storyline. Of course there are definitely similarities, obviously. But I think what really opened the character up for me, as an actor, was to start noting the differences, she explains. Seeing what would my life be like if my parents hadn't been this way, if they hadn't been as loving and supportive of me, and of the person that I wanted to be. That was really exciting for me to be able to play, and to see this alternate-reality version of myself and what my life could have been if things had gone slightly differently, adds Lily.


Though she's been connected to Hollywood her entire life, Lily says that as a stubborn kid she wanted to shirk the expectation that I could end up in film. However, she says she wanted to act from a young age, for sure; it just took me a second to get there. Lily jokes that her mom Beckinsale, whom she's really close with, definitely would've preferred I became a surgeon, but I don't think that was on the cards — you wouldn't want me to be doing any surgeries. And I think she knows that! Both my parents, they would've accepted whatever I did, which is incredibly lucky to have, she adds.


The actress admits her childhood stubbornness sometimes meant ignoring her parents' advice. Now, though, she's learned to appreciate and value their input: When I was younger and more immature, I was more like, 'I don't want any help.' But I think I've now grown to really appreciate how much of a lucky opportunity I've had, in having those parents, and just to have a helping hand through the industry. Not a lot of people have parents that are understanding and have a respect for the arts, says Lily. My parents are great about pushing me out and letting me fly and become the person that I want to be. To become the actor that I want to be. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent — which also stars Pedro Pascal, Tiffany Haddish, Neil Patrick Harris, Ike Barinholtz and Sharon Horgan — is in theaters Friday.

The Progressive era C. B. J. Snyder for Schools

A biography of school architect C. B. J. Snyder, opens a view onto a lost and glorious world of public education in New York City. Early 20th-century Progressives believed that mass public education could combine democracy and excellence. Their hopes shaped the 408 new schools and additions that Snyder designed during his 1891 to 1922 tenure as New York’s superintendent of school buildings. To a degree, Progressives’ hopes were fulfilled. Some Snyder schools, such as Erasmus Hall and Morris High, would produce long lists of notable alumni despite being neighborhood, not exam schools. Snyder biographer Jean Arrington invites us to consider the contribution that design makes to excellence in education. Three factors accounted for the extravagant scale of Snyder’s school building program. The first two were the revenues pouring into the city treasury and the pressures of surging enrollment. In the current era, New York’s traditional district schools have been losi...

It may be tainted, but don’t underestimate the power of brand love

The concept of ‘brand love’ was overused and went out of fashion, it remains an insightful way to consider consumers’ attitudes towards brands. You do realise that this is fantastically untrendy research? I explained to the team from Savanta, when they approached me to give the launch speech for their 2022 Most Loved Brand Award. To top things off, I added, you’ve only gone and split out your findings by segments of the market too. Which is also fantastically uncool. It’s true, is it not? The merest mention of ‘brand love’ elicits a collective groan from the gaggle of opinion leaders that monitor every discussion about marketing. And slicing anything these days by segment opens up the obligatory critique about the pointlessness of segmentation and the reinstalled dominance of mass marketing. It’s a big week for returning shows across the streaming platforms. We have a Season 2, a Season 4, and a Season 9 revving up for release in the coming days, ranging from an A-list workplace co...
