Gal Gadot makes stunning appearance at the 36th international Film Festival ceremony in Los Anegels

Gal Gadot recently captivated audiences with her appearance at the 36th Annual Israel Film Festival ceremony in Los Angeles.According to the Daily Mail, the 39-year-old actress attended the event at The Saban Theater on November 13, 2024. 

For the event, Gadot donned a stylish skirt and an oversized blazer. She completed her look with a unique gold necklace.

Reportedly, the globally known actress Gadot hosted a reception and screening for Israeli filmmaker Tom Nesher, showcasing her debut film, Come Closer, which is being submitted for Oscar nominations.

For the unversed, this fictional drama is Israel's entry for the Best International Feature Film category and being an Israeli, Gadot was there to lead the occasion.

The Los Angeles-based event was attended by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as well as celebrities, filmmakers, and members of the local film industry.

On the work front, Gadot is set to portray the intense and unique character of Cleopatra in her upcoming film titled Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt.

The movie is scheduled for theatrical release in the summer of 2025.

In an old interview, the mother-of-four spoke about her new role as a historical figure, saying that the film will change the narrative surrounding Cleopatra.

"You know, if Wonder Woman is the imaginary strong female leader, Cleopatra’s the real one," the Red Notice actress said.

‘Anything is possible,’ says Gadot, crediting her four daughters with inspiring ‘me to be a better person,’ as small pro- and anti-Israel protests staged outside ceremony

Gal Gadot received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, becoming the first Israeli actor to be awarded the honor.

Speaking at the ceremony, Gadot referred several times to her Israeli roots, even speaking some Hebrew.

“I’m just a girl from a town in Israel,” Gadot said, drawing loud cheers from her supporters in the audience. “To all the young people, especially the young girls, if a girl from Rosh Ha’ayin can get a star on Hollywood Boulevard, anything is possible.”

Gadot also addressed her Israeli family in Hebrew, saying that she loves them, even though they are far away.

The actress, best known for playing “Wonder Woman,” was accompanied by her husband Jaron Varsano, whom she called “my rock, my compass, my firefighter,” and their four daughters — Alma, 13, Maya, 8, Daniella, 3 and Ori, 13 months. “Whenever my success grew, I always got pregnant,” she joked. “I needed to ground myself.”

Speaking to her daughters, Gadot said: “Being your Imma [Hebrew for mother] is the greatest privilege of anything I have ever done. You inspire me to be a better person, to be strong and brave and kind as you are.”

Picture this: a show wraps up an incredible first season. Fans and critics agree it was excellent. The show is nominated for awards. People are talking about it. The ending was satisfying. People are pleased. Then, the studio decided that, because it's so popular, they might as well make more seasons. Fans watch the second season. It doesn't live up to the hype of the first season. Audiences and critics are let down.

This scenario has played out all too often, especially in recent years. Shows that are meant to have a shelf life are extended solely to keep potential profits up. People appreciate story, and rarely does an additional season that wasn't planned turn out great. The reason that the first season is so much better is typically because the series was adapted from some form of source material. It covers that in the initial slate of episodes, and the story has finality.

It's hard to argue against a studio wanting to throw a bunch of money at you to continue making your show if you're a creator. It's also flattering that people love the show. But sometimes, for the integrity of the content, it's better to let it rest. Here are 10 shows that had no business churning out more episodes after a brilliant debut season.
