Jessica Chastain walked down the 2023 Tony Awards with a very special lady from her family — Marilyn Herst, her grandma. As they posed for photos before entering the wedding, the two smiled together. Chastain wore a sunshine yellow gown with a matching cape, while her grandma opted for a dove grey outfit with matching shawl. Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, Chastain's husband, was also present at the wedding. The couple, who married in 2017 and shared two children, were photographed outside the United Palace Theatre in NYC, where this year's awards ceremony was being held.

MARTIME ARMION: This fine revival of Anthony McCarten's play about Popes Benedict and Francis is poignantly timely at a time of transition in the Royal Family. It's a fundamental question of how we transition from one era to another and how an incumbent interacts with their office that is on our minds today. The play, which was turned into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, is a look at what happened behind the scenes in 2013, when Benedict shocked the world's 1.2 billion Catholics by becoming the first pontiff to step down in 700 years. Anton Lesser - with Nicholas Woodeson as Francis - portrays the Pope's fading soul, and both men and women find a lot of warmth in the men's tense souls. The big issue is whether or not the Catholic Church should revive or revert its 2,000-year-old traditions. However, both McCarten and the actors are focusing on the two guys as human beings with a slew of responsibility.
