Satellite and Cable: Pick of the Day
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AN ACTOR habitually described as "lean and mean", Sean Bean (right) has cornered the market in strong, silent types (in that respect, playing Mellors in the BBC version of Lady Chatterley's Lover did him no end of good). He smoulders to similar effect in the satellite premiere of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (8pm Sky Premier). He plays Count Vronsky, the aristocrat with whom the wealthy Anna (Sophie Marceau) starts a passionate, but ultimately doomed affair.
Anthony Quinn once recalled Hollywood's initial reaction to him: "they said all I was good for was playing Indians." He soon proved them wrong, carving out a highly successful career in a wide range of roles stretching from his Oscar-winning display in Lust for Life to Zorba the Greek. He is the subject of tonight's Hollywood Hall of Fame (9.30pm Sky Cinema).
