COVER STORY: Who was Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre?
Virginia Giuffre was a 16-year-old employee at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 when she says she was recruited by Ghislane Maxwell into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, which Maxwell denies. Before she died by suicide earlier this year, Giuffre wrote a memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” and sought the release of the Epstein Files, currently under control of the Trump administration. Tracy Smith talks with Giuffre’s co-author, Amy Wallace, and with her brother and sister-in-law, about the woman Giuffre was, her life after Epstein, and whether Maxwell – now in prison for sex trafficking – should be pardoned.

BOOKS: The enigma of Tim Curry
In 50 years on screen, Tim Curry, star of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Clue” and “It,” has played roles campy, comical, and menacingly sinister, yet his most inscrutable role is still Tim Curry. The actor talks with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about his memoir “Vagabond” (which is decidedly not a Hollywood tell-all); the stroke he suffered in 2012, and learning how to speak again; and why he never sought to curry stardom.

MOVIES: Ben Stiller examines the marriage of his parents, comedy greats Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara
Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara were a beloved comedy team – and the parents of actor-director Ben Stiller. After the deaths of his mother and father, Stiller sought to pay tribute as few sons could: a documentary about their lives on-stage and off. But even he didn’t anticipate to what depths his film, “Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost,” would go. Stiller talks with Jim Axelrod about how examining the lives of two comedy greats led to re-examining his own.
