Bruce Springsteen wanted a 'Scott Cooper movie.' We asked the director what that is Filmmaker Scott Cooper talks to us about getting the Boss' blessing on "Deliver Me From Nowhere," working with Jeremy Allen White and how his movies resist easy answers.

Scott Cooper has built an impressive filmography over the years, making movies that touch upon childhood trauma and the pursuit of a belated grace. @pamelachelin.bsky.social spoke to him. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Louis Naidorf, architect behind L.A.’s iconic Capitol Records Building, dies at 96 Though best known for the enduring Los Angeles landmark, Naidorf’s legacy spans far beyond the legendary circular tower, which was the world’s first round office building.

I'm very sad to share that Louis Naidorf, the architect who designed the iconic Capitol Records Building, has died at 96. I wrote about him for the L.A. Times.

I’ve been in LA too long. Before I saw the photo, I thought you meant a proposal for a book.

They might have been trying to cover for their mistake. I don't think we'll ever really know.

I'm delighted to share that two of my features are nominated in the upcoming LA Press Club SoCal Journalism Awards - my L.A. Times feature about Grammy-winning photographer/art director Mathieu Bitton and my The Guardian piece about Banksy associate Steve Lazarides who sold his Banksy archive.

I didn't realize Luke Kirby is in this. Met him years ago in Toronto and then again at a party at the Canadian Consulate in LA. He's super nice.

The hidden vintage Japanese car club that's redefining car culture in L.A. For the members of this Boyle Heights group, what matters more than a pristine restoration is how each car showcases its owner’s unique style.

For the L.A. Times, I wrote about Vintage Japanese Motor Union, a car club for pre-1975 Japanese car enthusiasts.
