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.TOWARDS THE end of his career, Laurence Olivier (right) took some roles whose artistic quality was open to question. Not that he minded much. As he put it: "nothing is beneath me if it pays well." Quite right, too. After films such as Wuthering Heights, Henry V, Hamlet and The Entertainer, nobody could really fault his cinematic CV. That is examined in depth in tonight's Hollywood Hall of Fame (9.30pm Sky Cinema), which is followed by his highly memorable performance opposite Joan Fontaine in Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 version of Rebecca (10pm).
Cliff Morgan may be known to younger generations as the long-running presenter of Radio 4's Sport on 4, but the man who is profiled in Dickie Davies' Sporting Heroes (2pm Sky Sports 3) was also a great Welsh rugby player in his time.
