Mavis Leno joins husband Jay at a premiere after dementia revelation: 'I feel great'

Mavis Leno joins husband Jay at a premiere after dementia revelation: 'I feel great'

Jay and Mavis Leno donned their date-night best Tuesday at the red-carpet premiere of Jerry Seinfeld’s forthcoming film “Unfrosted.”

The premiere marked the couple’s second public outing since the former talk show host in January filed for a since-granted conservatorship over his wife following her advanced dementia diagnosis. The 77-year-old philanthropist previously attended her husband’s April 3 stand-up show at the Hollywood Improv.

Gracing the red carpet, the couple — who have been married since 1980 — flashed smiles and peace signs at the assembled photographers.

“I feel great,” Mavis told “Entertainment Tonight,” with her husband saying, “We have a great time. Forty-four years [married], so we’re doing good.”

Jay Leno, 74, also added that the two were glad to “come to something fun for a change.”

“Everything is so controversial. Just to come to a funny, silly movie ― it’s great. I think people will have a great time,” he said.

Last month, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted Jay Leno’s request for conservatorship after his wife’s court-appointed legal counsel, Ronald E. Ostrin, in March filed a report recommending the decision.

In Ostrin’s report, he said that during his investigation, he learned that Mavis Leno has “major neurocognitive disorders,” “cognitive impairment” and “sometimes does not know her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth,” The Times previously reported.

Ostrin also included in his report comments from Mavis Leno’s neurologist, Dr. Hart Cohen, who told Ostrin she “has a lot of disorientation” and “will ruminate about her parents who have both passed and her mother who died about 20 years ago.” Ostrin “reviewed substantial medical records which supported Dr. Cohen’s opinions,” the report said.

In his January filing, Jay Leno said that he sought a conservatorship in order to structure a living trust and other estate plans to make sure that his wife has “managed assets sufficient to provide for her care” in the event that he dies before she does, according to a copy of the petition previously obtained by The Times.

The petition said that Mavis Leno “has been progressively losing capacity and orientation to space and time for several years,” rendering her “incapable of executing the estate plan.” It also said she is under treatment for “dementia and mood disorder,” though it is still unclear when she was diagnosed with either.

At the April hearing, Ostrin said Mavis Leno was “in agreement” with the conservatorship and “receiving excellent care with her husband, Mr. Leno,” People reported.

The judge agreed, saying, “I think she’s in the least restrictive environment. I think she’s in very good care with Mr. Leno.”

Film Review: Civil War is Too Timid to Be Interesting

A24

2/5 stars

When I heard that Alex Garland was making a film about a new American civil war to be released in the middle of an extremely contentious election year, I was hyped. The idea seemed more daring and provocative than we have seen in quite some time. Sadly, Civil War lacks any real courage and Garland remains frustratingly “apolitical” with a story that should be inherently political. The result is a thrilling but shallow action movie with little to say with its fascinating premise beyond the tired old cliche that “war is hell.”

Set in a near future in which the United States has devolved into warring factions, we follow photojournalist Lee Smith (Kirsten Dunst) who is traveling with several other journalists to interview the nebulously tyrannical president (Nick Offerman) before the “Western Forces,” a combined alliance between Texas and California, attack Washington D.C.

The film remains steadfast in its refusal to explain any of the factors involved in this conflict. Who are the Western Forces and what do they want? What has the president done to bring about a full-on civil war? Garland doesn’t even bother to ask these questions, failing to give audiences a sense of urgency. There is also some striking imagery reminiscent of footage from Vietnam and Bosnia. Seeing these images played out on American soil feels like they should be ripe for analysis, but there is no message behind them. The film says nothing about modern warfare or even photojournalism and only leaves us with sheer spectacle. The timid approach to politics gives us a film that feels like it wants to be The Battle of Algiers but becomes White House Down.

ABC News fires meteorologist Rob Marciano after reports of alleged behavior issues

ABC News fires meteorologist Rob Marciano after reports of alleged behavior issues

ABC News and longtime meteorologist Rob Marciano have gone their separate ways.

Marciano was fired Tuesday after a decade of working on ABC News programs including “Good Morning America” and “World News Tonight,” sources confirmed to The Times. The journalist, who most recently appeared on “Good Morning America: Weekend Edition,” left ABC News a year after Page Six reported that he was banned from ABC News’ Times Square Studios for alleged behavioral issues.

A representative for ABC News declined to comment Wednesday. A representative for Marciano did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.

Page Six reported in March 2023 that Marciano, 55, was denied access to ABC News’ Times Square Studios “after he made a colleague feel uncomfortable” in 2022.

“He was found to have done something … that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven’t let him return,” a source told the website. Sources did not provide more details about the alleged incident between Marciano and his colleague, but they told Page Six that he had “anger management issues” and that “there was a period where there were some issues, a number of alarming events.”

Months after Page Six published its report, Marciano celebrated 10 years with ABC News in an Instagram post in September. “I couldn’t be more pumped to continue this journey with all of you,” he wrote.

His post detailed his continued contributions to ABC News programming, and touted the opportunity to spend “more quality time with my kiddos on the weekends.”

Marciano added: “My thanks to the bosses who listened and made this work-life balance possible. I’m also grateful for an exciting new project with NatGeo that has me exploring some very very cool stuff… more to come!”

Marciano joined ABC News in September 2014 and covered a variety of natural disasters — including wildfires in Southern California and volcanic eruptions in Hawaii — during his tenure. Before ABC News, he worked for Entertainment Tonight and CNN.

On Instagram, Marciano had not yet addressed his firing, first reported by Puck News. His most recent post was a shared video with “World News Tonight” teasing his on-the-field coverage of Louisiana residents’ efforts to rebuild their community after storms.
