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.

Will Patton. The blond hood in Desperately Seeking Susan; leather- clad sadist in After Hours; his talents were wasted as bearded bad guy in The Postman.

Dean Stockwell. Best known as Al in TV's Quantum Leap; finest moment powdered up and singing "In Dreams" in Blue Velvet; last seen as a crotchety judge in The Rainmaker.

Dan Hedaya. He was buried alive in thriller Blood Simple; Alicia Silverstone's grumpy dad in Clueless; and most recently underwent an enforced lobotomy in Alien: Resurrection.

John Lithgow. Deranged in Raising Cain and Blow Out; gooey in Bigfoot and the Hendersons; comic genius confirmed by TV's Third Rock from the Sun.

Brad Dourif. His finest moments: as the stuttering Billy Babbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; wide-eyed preacher boy in John Huston's Wise Blood.
