Apple Original Films has unveiled plans for a new definitive documentary chronicling the legendary Fleetwood Mac.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Marshall, a five-time Academy Award nominee and winner of the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, the project marks the first fully authorized documentary about the band.
For the first time, Fleetwood Mac members will narrate their own extraordinary story, supported by exclusive interviews, archival footage, and unseen material, including tributes to the late Christine McVie.

The film promises to delve into Fleetwood Mac’s meteoric rise and the personal and professional dynamics that shaped their legacy.
From the band’s formation in 1967 to their groundbreaking albums and record-breaking tours, the documentary will explore the unique alchemy between Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and Christine McVie that produced some of the most enduring music of the modern era.

Fleetwood Mac’s impact on the Billboard charts underscores their legendary status. The band has charted 25 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with nine Top 10 hits, including their sole No. 1 single, “Dreams,” which spent 19 weeks on the chart during its original release in 1977. On the Billboard 200, the band has placed 30 albums, with four reaching the summit: Fleetwood Mac (1975), Rumours (1977), Tusk (1979), and The Dance (1997).
Their 1977 masterpiece Rumours achieved an extraordinary 31 weeks at No. 1 and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 40 million copies sold globally, with over 20 million copies being in the US alone.
In a statement, director Frank Marshall reflected on the band’s cultural significance, saying, “I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about. Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”
Producer Nicholas Ferrall added, “We are thrilled to continue our creative partnership with Frank and the talented team at Kennedy/Marshall. Fleetwood Mac are a musical phenomenon, their alchemy almost beyond comprehension. White Horse is grateful and humbled by the extraordinary opportunity to produce a documentary that dives deep into both the talents of each band member individually and the magic that is Fleetwood Mac as a whole. And to do this with the support and reach of Apple is quite wonderful.”
The documentary, which is yet to be titled, joins Apple Original Films’ prestigious catalog of projects, including the Academy Award-winning CODA and the Emmy-winning STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie.

It’s not easy to shop for someone who is turning 93. He or most likely she has everything they want or need. That may be especially true if they’re an EGOT. With that kind of hardware around, do they really need another bauble?
But Mattel came up with a good way of recognizing Rita Moreno as she turns 93 on Dec. 11. She’s getting her own Barbie doll, part of the Barbie Tribute Collection. With a suggested retail price of $40, the doll will be available in the Mattel Shop beginning Nov. 20.
Despite the twin obstacles of sexism and discrimination that she faced as a woman of color on her self-made path to stardom, Moreno emerged as one of the very few Latin movie stars in the Golden Age of Hollywood. (She was born in Puerto Rico and lived there until she was five.) In 1977, Moreno became just the third person to complete the EGOT (following composer Richard Rodgers and actress Helen Hayes). Moreno was just 45 at the time. She was the youngest person to EGOT until 2014, when Robert Lopez achieved the feat at 39.

“I was a girl who decided to go for it, and despite the challenges I faced, I never gave up on my dreams,” Moreno said in a statement. “That’s what I hope this doll inspires in each and every girl today: to live their life with courage and resilience so that they can make their dreams a reality. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Barbie to bring this doll to life, and I hope it serves as a reminder to embrace your limitless possibilities and pursue your passions because when you embrace them, you’re bound to go far.”
The Barbie Rita Moreno doll wears an elegant gown that echoes many designs Moreno has worn on the red carpet. Barbie worked closely with Moreno to sculpt a doll in proper reflection of her likeness, working with the star from the initial design to the final touches.

Mattel
“It’s an honor to celebrate Rita Moreno as the latest addition to our Barbie Tribute Collection,” Krista Berger, svp of Barbie and global head of dolls, Mattel, said in a statement. “As one of the few performers to achieve EGOT-status stardom, she has shattered stereotypes and barriers for Latinas in the entertainment industry and beyond.”
The Barbie Tribute Collection was conceived to celebrate visionaries for their contributions, impact and legacy as trailblazers. The series kicked off in August 2021 by paying tribute to TV legend Lucille Ball. The Tribute Collection has since recognized such diverse figures as designer Vera Wang and actress, producer, writer and LGBTQ+ advocate Laverne Cox.
Moreno isn’t the oldest person upon to have a Barbie doll made her in her honor. Barbie honored Queen Elizabeth II with a Barbie Tribute Collection doll in celebration of her Platinum Jubilee in 2022. The Queen was 95 at the time.
Nor is she the first Latina to have a Barbie doll made in her honor. Barbie continues expanding Latin representation in its doll collection, including the Isabel Allende Inspiring Women doll that launched in September 2024.
Moreno isn’t even the first EGOT recipient to have a Barbie doll made in her honor. Barbie previously honored Audrey Hepburn with a doll, dressed in an outfit she wore in her iconic, Oscar-nominated performance in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In March, Barbie celebrated International Women’s Day and the brand’s 65th birthday by honoring Viola Davis and other storytellers with a one-of-a-kind role model doll made in their likeness. (These dolls were not available for purchase.)
Additional accolades Moreno has received include the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004, the National Medal of Arts in 2009, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2013, the Kennedy Center Honor in 2015, and a Peabody Award in 2019.

“In this special with musical guests, pop icon Sabrina Carpenter will perform songs from her holiday EP fruitcake and other iconic chart-topping holiday covers,” the release continues. “This special will also feature show-stopping music performances, comedic guests, unexpected duets, plus many more surprises and fun cameos.”
Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet tour began in September with a performance in Columbus, Ohio. Though U.S. leg concludes Monday night, it will start up in Europe next March.
A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter premieres on Netflix on Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. The show is produced by OBB Pictures and At Last Productions and directed by Sam Wrench. Nikki Boella is the showrunner.
Carpenter is hitting new heights on the Billboard charts. Her latest album, Short N’ Sweet, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 362,000 equivalent album units in its first week, marking her first chart-topping album. The album’s success extends to the Hot 100, where all 12 tracks charted, including standout singles “Taste” at No. 2, “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso.”
Notably, Carpenter joins the elite ranks of Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande by landing three songs in the top five simultaneously. Across the Atlantic, she made U.K. chart history as the female solo artist with the most combined weeks at No. 1 in a calendar year.
