Fans have been in a rage since the last episode of The Capture premiered in 2019. Many took to their social media handles to share a supposed before and after picture of the actress and simultaneously expressed their disappointment.
One of the actress’ fans even tweeted, “Watched finale of #The Capture. No spoilers. The music in the finale sounded like an episode of Westworld. Also, took me while to realize that was Famke Janssen #plasticsurgery.”
Another fan tweeted, “Oh my god Famke Janssen’s plastic surgery is awful.” The surging tweet never stopped showing disagreement with Janssen’s big step.

The most amusing art that her face [after alleged plastic surgery] portrayed was her natural laughter lines replaced by a line-free, pillowy complexion.
Famke Janssen’s plastic surgery: Is it just a speculation or fact?
As of this writing, it’s unclear whether Janssen ever had face surgery. Multiple media outlets have articulated that it might be a misconception that the viewers are not able to recognize her due to the effect of filters or the magic of makeup.
The look was shocking for the viewers as the Redeeming Love star has always been admired for her looks when she was still modeling and even when she appeared on the big screen. People said she used fillers, botox, and so on to reignite her beauty.
DailyMail reported that her natural laughter lines were gone and were replaced by a line-free, pillowy complexion. The outlet also mentioned that her wrinkle-free face appeared to be frozen in time. On the other hand, many media cruelly dubbed her ‘The Superhero of Botox.’
Jenssen’s silence on all of this has made the topic of her getting plastic surgery ambiguous, as she has not defended herself in all the conversations and issues that have arisen regarding her speculated plastic surgery.
Janssen’s role in the field of acting and directory has been remarkable and preferred by the viewers. Although the talk of her getting plastic surgery surged in 2019, the heat has cooled down in today’s date, making the life of the actress easier and more peaceful.
She received much love for her awaited series Redeeming Love, which premiered on January 22, 2022. Her acting projects afterward, including Long Slow Exhale and Boy Kills World, have also been well received by the viewers.
That said, the actress is currently unavailable on any of the social media platforms, making her even more secretive. But it has never been a problem for Janssen to stand in the Hall of Fame of cinema.
And disregarding the matter of age, Janssen’s fan followers are enough to keep her in rage for the upcoming decades.
A brief look at Famke Janssen’s bio
Born in 1965, Famke celebrates her birthday every year on November 5, making her 59 years of age in December 2023. She was raised in the suburbs of Amstelveen, the Netherlands, in a family of creative talents.
As of this writing, there are little to no details known about her parents, except that they are divorced, and their surnames are Beumer and Janssen, respectively. Apart from her parents, she has two siblings: sisters named Antoinette Beumer and Marjolein Beumer.
Both of her sisters have had a fruitful career in the entertainment industry — Antoinette is a director, and Marjolein is an actress. Likewise, her siblings adopted the surname Beumer following their parents’ divorce.
Coming over to Famke’s education, she completed high school and then enrolled at the University of Amsterdam to pursue a degree in economics; however, she ended up regretting this decision.
She later redirected her academic focus to study creative writing and literature, which she did at Columbia University’s School of General Studies. Besides that, she is multilingual and is proficient in Dutch, English, and French. She no longer maintains her German language skills.
Famke Janssen’s dating life explored
Famke is one of those Hollywood stars who prefer to keep their personal life hidden away from the media and public. She doesn’t use social media, steers away from the media, and rarely makes a public appearance.
The actress once opened up about keeping her dating life private and stated, “I basically shun the press. I’m sure you googled me to try and find some things, but I am super private and realized a long time ago that I don’t really like people knowing anything about me.”
As she continued, she mentioned that her choice of life came with cons, one of which was she made less than other actors. “I decided I’d rather be less famous and do things on my terms,” she concluded her statement.
But despite her willingness to keep things secret, little things come out, and people want to learn more about her, especially her personal life. So, does the actress have a husband? Is she married? Or is she dating a boyfriend?
As of this writing, Famke isn’t married to a husband. However, it has been reported that she is still in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend, Cole Frates. The couple reportedly began dating in the late 2000s or early 2010s and have been together since then.
However, as they keep things low-key, people often wonder if they are still together. For instance, when they began dating, they made a few public appearances and were spotted on their outings here and there.
But it was awfully quiet after some time, leading many to wonder if they had broken up. But on one beautiful day in April 2017, the couple was spotted together, going on a short bike ride with Famke’s beloved pooch Licorice alongside them.

This reassured the fans that they were still together. However, as these public appearances aren’t frequent, people often reignite the breakup rumors. But nothing can be said until an official confirmation comes. Who knows, they might still be together!
Before Famke began dating Frates, she was married to her now-former husband, Kip Williams. The actress and the director – son of architect Tod Williams – married in 1995, and their marital relationship ended in a divorce in 2000.
After that, it’s reported that she dated Josh Peck in 2007 and York Alec Shackleton. Furthermore, it has been rumored that she dated Ryan Gosling in 2004, but these rumors have neither been confirmed nor denied.

Edie Falco Reveals Her Kids Are Immune to ‘The Sopranos’ Fever
Edie Falco is a wonderful mother to her two adoptive kids, Anderson and Macy.
The acclaimed American actress Edie Falco is celebrated for her iconic roles in The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie. While her on-screen personas have captivated audiences worldwide, her real-life role as a mother of her two children remains equally remarkable.
In a recent interview, she humorously disclosed that her kids have surprisingly remained immune to the The Sopranos phenomenon that catapulted her to stardom.
This revelation has piqued their curiosity, prompting an exploration into the dynamics of her family life and her children’s indifference towards one of television’s most celebrated shows.
Edie Falce revealed that her kids don’t watch ‘The Sopranos’
Falco has revealed a surprising fact about her kids’ viewing habits. Despite her immense success and the show’s cultural impact, her two adopted children have shown no interest in watching the acclaimed drama that brought their mother critical acclaim and fame.
In a recent interview at the Garden of Laughs event in New York City, the 60-year-old actress admitted that her kids are “so over it” regarding The Sopranos.
She also shared that neither of her children has ever seen the show, seemingly unfazed by the cultural phenomenon that their mother was a part of.

While her kids may not appreciate her acting prowess in The Sopranos, Falco revealed that they enjoy the perks of having a famous mother.
She explained that her children are more impressed with the privileges and opportunities available due to her celebrity status rather than her actual work on the screen.
Despite her kids’ indifference towards The Sopranos, Falco remains hopeful that they may eventually develop an appreciation for the show that catapulted her to stardom.
Meet Edie Falco’s two kids
Falco is a proud mother of two adopted children – her son Anderson and daughter Macy. She became a first-time mom when she adopted her son Anderson in 2005.
From an early age, she was open with him about his adoption, making sure the topic was discussed openly in their household.
Then, three years after adopting Anderson, Falco welcomed her daughter Macy into her family in 2008 as an infant. Like her brother, Macy was raised with open conversations about her adoption story.
Now a teenager, Falco has experienced the typical parent-child dynamic shift as her kids have grown more independent and distant, something she humorously acknowledges as a sign of good parenting.
In her pre-teen years, Falco has described Macy as a “wise guy” who, along with her brother, has started to exhibit typical rebellious teenage behavior towards her mom.
While admitting she doesn’t enjoy this new phase, Falco recognizes it as a natural part of their development.
Edie Falco on why she decided on parenting
Falco’s decision to become a parent through adoption was a deeply personal and thoughtful one. Despite her successful acting career, she felt a strong calling to start a family and raise children.
In her own words, she knew there came a certain point in her life when it was simply “time to raise kids.” This realization came after going through a few serious relationships that didn’t work out but left her with a lingering desire for motherhood.
As she reflected, even though those relationships ended, her yearning to have children remained alive.

After overcoming breast cancer, she viewed it as a pivotal moment to pursue parenthood. At 40 years old and single, she didn’t want to let her marital status deter her from experiencing motherhood.
With a pragmatic outlook, she decided not to wait for a partner, figuring that aspect of her life could unfold naturally later on. Her clarity on wanting kids surpassed her need for a romantic relationship then.
The idea of adoption resonated with Falco, allowing her to fulfill her dream of raising children on her terms. She embraced the adoption process wholeheartedly, recognizing it as the right path to building her family.
Edie Falco mourns the end of her time parenting little kids
Falco’s journey into motherhood has been filled with immense joy and love. Still, she also openly acknowledges the bittersweet reality of watching her children grow up too quickly.
As her son Anderson, 19, and daughter Macy, 16, have transitioned from little kids into teenagers, she has experienced a sense of mourning for that fleeting stage of early parenthood.
In her candid words, Falco equates the departure of those precious little years to a profound “death” – an emotional farewell to a chapter that can never be relived.
She reminisces the irreplaceable moments of having her young children fall asleep peacefully on her lap, emanating an overwhelming and pure love that only a parent can understand.

While undoubtedly proud to see her kids blossom into their individuals, Falco can’t help but feel nostalgic about those delicate early memories gradually fading into the past.
She laments how quickly that blissful phase evaporated, now only preserved through photographs and videos on her phone – frozen moments in time that can never be recreated.
Even as exciting new phases begin, there is an inherent mourning for what has been left behind – the tender, all-consuming energies of nurturing little beings who once wholly depended on her care and presence.
Edie Falco’s kids often visit her on set
Falco has made a concerted effort to integrate her professional acting career with her role as a mother, frequently bringing her kids along to visit her on set while filming.
It has allowed her children, especially her daughter Macy, to be immersed in and gain an up-close understanding of the behind-the-scenes world their mom occupies.
In Falco’s own words, she loves having Macy run around the set, getting hands-on experience by giving treats to the cast and crew members.

The young teen has even tried on vintage wardrobe pieces from various productions, delighting in dressing up as a “1950s little waitress” while accompanying her mom at work.
Beyond just observing, Macy has taken an active role in helping out on set in her little ways.
With one of Falco’s close friends working as a prop assistant, Macy has lent a hand with simple tasks like removing paper towels from prop items – a chance for her to feel involved and part of the action.
For Falco, this immersive experience serves a deeper purpose – she wants her daughter to grow up understanding and appreciating her work, demystifying the allure of her Hollywood career.

Melissa Gilbert Remembers Her ‘Father Figure’ Michael Landon
The actress talks about the influence Michael Landon had on her life.
Melissa Gilbert started her career as a child actor. She gained prominence at just 10 years of age, playing Laura Ingalls Wilder, the second oldest daughter of Charles Ingalls (played by Michael Landon) in the NBC series Little House on the Prairie.
The late actor and filmmaker Landon played the role of her father for nine years, and it turns out to have stemmed from personal relationships. In a recent interview with People, Gilbert talks about her special bond with the co-star.
The interview happened during the 50th anniversary celebration of Little House on the Prairie Cast Reunion and Festivals. Gilbert revealed that Landon was a father figure for not just her but the majority of the cast.
The Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival lasted three days (March 22, 23 & 24). It was an interactive experience and tour celebrating the TV series and providing fans with a unique opportunity.
“Michael Landon was like a father figure to many of us, obviously, and a very, very important influence in my life,” says Gilbert, explaining her own experiences in fatherhood.
She revealed that her father passed away when she was 11 years of age, and it was while working on the series. Therefore, the actress says Landon watched over her in a much more paternal way.
Gilbert added that they had become very close and that their family had also vacationed together. They also celebrated New Year’s together.
Landon seems to have tried to fill the void of Gilbert’s missing father, and the actress appreciates the effort. She remembers him to this date as a great man and a great father figure.
Melissa Gilbert remembers Michael Landon as a great person
Apart from being a great ‘father figure,’ Gilbert also reveals that Landon was special to other members of the cast as well. Landon was a very giving person and went above and beyond for people close to him.
Gilbert remembers Landon giving amazing presents to his cast members. He would also announce the Rose Parade for NBC for free, and instead of the money, he would give Christmas gifts to the cast.

Not only that, but Gilbert also contributes to the success of the program for Landon. She says, “It blows my mind that all of this is because of him. These people are here because he wrote this show and directed it and produced it, and I know that he would be incredibly proud if he could see this.”
Unfortunately, the actor died in 1991 due to pancreatic cancer. She ended the interview by saying, “This is a legacy. A hundred percent.”
Although it’s been 50 years since the release of Little House on the Prairie, the show and its cast are equally famous. The show started in 1974 with popular main cast members like Landon, Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson, Sidney Greenbush, and Dean Butler.
Back in 2022, Gilbert remembered the actor on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of his death. She wrote a heartfelt essay through PanCAN, which is a charity fund for people affected by the disease.
“Today I am missing my mentor, my acting partner, my favorite director, father figure, friend, and boss. Today I am missing my Pa. Today I am missing Michael Landon. So much so, that I can feel it in my chest, in my heart. I am aching for him,” she says.
All About Michael Landon
Gilbert’s ‘father figure’ Landon was an American actor and filmmaker who is known for his role in the hit series Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and Highway to Heaven.
He was born on October 31, 1936, as Eugene Maurice Orowitz in Forest Hills, New York. He was the son of Peggy and Eli Maurice Orowitz. His father was Jewish, and his mother was Roman Catholic who used to be a professional comedian.
Landon’s childhood was marked by challenges, including his mother’s suicide attempts, which led to stress-related issues such as bedwetting. He attended Collingswood High School in New Jersey and showed talent in javelin throwing.

Despite initially pursuing athletics with a scholarship offer from the University of Southern California, Landon shifted towards show business after a shoulder injury ended his athletic career. He then began appearing in various television shows and movies, gradually building his acting career.
He then gained huge recognition through his role in the series Bonanza, where he was also a writer and director. After his role in the series, he went on to appear as the main cast of the series The Little House on the Prairie, where he is also the executive producer, director, and writer.
During his lifetime, the actor has been married three times and also has 9 children. Among his children, 5 of his children are active in the entertainment industry; Mark Fraser Landon, Leslie Ann Landon, Michael Landon Jr., Christopher Beau Landon, and Jennifer Rachel Landon.
Landon suffered a severe headache during a skiing vacation in 1991. After the checkup, he was diagnosed with a severe form of pancreatic cancer known as exocrine adenocarcinoma.
He did several surgeries and procedures during that time, but his disease was terminal. He passed away on July 1 at the age of 54 years, in his Malibu house at 1:20 pm with his wife at his bedside.

Josie Totah Has Plans for Roles beyond LGBTQ+ Characters
The actress states she is inspired by stories, not characters.
Josie Totah played the leading role of Mabel Emsworth in the 2023 historical series The Buccaneers. In this series, her character falls in love with a woman named Honoria Marable (portrayed by Mia Threapleton).
The American actress has openly come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and is transgender. Due to her sexuality and her portrayal of similar roles in various movies and TV shows, people have been wondering if she will take on similar roles in the future.
However, this does not seem to be the case for the actress, as she has firmly mentioned she is open to any role as she is an actress first. She attended the 2024 SCAD TVFest in Atlanta in February and mentioned her plans to work in various roles with people.

In the interview, she mentioned that she is willing to take on various roles as she follows the story. She expresses her wishes to work as an actor and to uplift storytellers whom she fancies and tells stories that need to be said.
Totah wore an all-black outfit with white detailings at the event and was one of the nominees. She received the SCAD TVFest Rising Star Award at the event.
This enthusiastic actress has been working in the entertainment industry since 2012 but recently gained prominence due to her leading roles in several movies and TV shows. Her role in the 2021 movie Moxie was well-received by critics and the public.
Josie Totah came out as a transgender person in 2018
Although many suspected Totah to be gay as she hadn’t transitioned yet and appeared in many productions as J.J. Totah. She made herself publicly known as a trans-woman in 2018, exclusively through the Time Magazine.
She started her interview by stating she was always grateful to get roles in great projects like The Champions. However, she always felt she let herself shoved into a box as J.J. Totah, a gay boy.
Ever since Totah was a child, the people around her always viewed her as gay, as she was a bit different from others. Not only that, even the entertainment industry gave her that image due to the roles she played.
She also revealed that many reporters asked her what it was like being a gay young man, and many were already quick to assume the same. The actress also clarified being a member of the LGBTQ+ community before, but it only led to more people thinking she’s gay.
Therefore, the actress made a very bold decision to be free and let everyone know her natural sexuality. Despite what she might be hearing, support, or hate, she outed herself as Josie Totah, a trans-woman.
Totah identifies as a female and uses the pronoun she/her/hers. In a very heartfelt letter, she also says this is not something that happened out of the blue nor the choice she made.
The actress found out about her sexuality at the young age of 14 while watching the series I Am Jazz with her mother. In the middle of the show, she revealed to have yelled at her mother, saying this is what I have to do (while watching Jazz Jennings going through a medical transition).
This revelation might not have been easy, but it sure helped that her mother was super supportive from the start. Therefore, at 14, she started taking hormone blockers.
During the initial stages of transition, Totah was in constant fear of society as well as the effect of male hormones on her body. She was also scared about the identity documents and how people would see her.
However, the actress has had many reassurances in her life. She felt delighted hearing Josie from friends and family, and it was a process of healing and better understanding herself.
She wraps up her heartfelt note, stating, “This week, I’m going off to college. I’m also going to continue my acting career, and I am so excited to do both things myself. I plan to play roles I haven’t had the opportunity to play. And I can only imagine how much more fun it’s going to be to play someone who shares my identity, rather than having to contort myself to play a boy. I’m going to gun for those roles, be it a transgender female or a cisgender female. Because it’s a clean slate — and a new world.”
Josie Totah’s advancements in roles
Totah played the role of a boy in several movies and TV shows until 2018, including Glee, Champions, and Spider-Man: Homecoming. After she came out to the world in 2018, her first project was the American comedy series The Other Two, in which she played the role of Elijah.

In the same year, she played the role of Lisa Haddad in four episodes of the American comedy No Good Nick. The actress started playing female roles actively and got her first leading role in the sitcom Saved by the Bell, where she portrayed the role of Lexi Haddad-DeFabrizio.
She went on to appear as CJ in the 2021 movie Moxie and played minor roles in some series, like Human Resources and Mr Mayor. Her most recent work is in the historical series The Buccaneers, which has increased her fame to the next level.
Totah has active plans to stay in the entertainment industry and is also set to appear in the upcoming horror movie Faces of Death. We hope she gets to play more dynamic roles in the future as she hopes to get.
