A promotional stunt was created for its release in theatres, for which a plastic skeleton was flown over the audience during key moments of the film. After Nora, Watson, and Ruth release Lance from the secret room, Nora tells them that she shot Frederick. When they arrive in the cellar, Frederick explains that he loaded her gun with blanks, that his wife and David plotted to kill him, and that they both met their ends in the vat of acid. He says he is ready for justice to decide if he's innocent or guilty. Watson remains convinced the house is haunted, with David and Annabelle now added to its ranks of ghosts, and that he will be the next victim.

Audience Reviews

On several occasions, for example, Frederick and the others spend a great deal of time conversing and speculating with each other, weakening the overall spook factor of this film.

He tells her to remain out of sight so that her attacker will still think she is dead. Lance and David propose that everyone stay in their rooms and shoot anyone who enters to survive the night. Thus the innocents will have no reason to leave their rooms (and a good reason to stay inside them) and the killer must stay put or admit guilt. To no surprise, Vincent Price has a natural demeanor fitting perfectly with horror films. He gives off an eerie vibe, that is so subtle, it entices you to keep watching.

Special Effects

The two have been attempting to frighten Nora so badly that she will be spooked into shooting Frederick. Indeed, after being driven into a fit of hysteria by the repeated frights she has experienced during the evening, Nora does fire upon Frederick, assuming he is going to kill her. After she flees the room, Dr. Trent slips in and tries to get rid of Frederick's body by pushing it into a vat of acid, but the lights go out and the sounds of a struggle are heard. At a certain key moment in the movie, a glow-in-the-dark skeleton appeared from behind the screen to swoop over the heads of the audience. Annabelle privately warns Lance that her husband is scheming something and that she suspects him of murdering his second and third wives after his first wife disappeared. The guests learn the party's rules downstairs, and each is given a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammer for protection.

Midnite Reviews

He then explains to guests that his wife and Dr. Trent had been trying to kill him and that they each have met their end in the vat of acid. He says solemnly that he is "ready for justice to decide" his guilt or innocence. By combining a claustrophobic setting with classic horror tropes (e.g. severed heads, lightning storms, and living skeletons), House on Haunted Hill—filmed in eerie black-and-white—generates a chilling, suspenseful atmosphere despite being plagued by technical and budgetary limitations. House on Haunted Hill, American horror film, released in 1959, that was produced and directed by popular B-filmmaker William Castle, who was known for his theatre gimmicks. Hearing a scream, Lance and David find Annabelle's corpse, suspended to suggest she hanged herself, but the absence of a perch immediately arouses suspicions of murder. Nora confronts Lance and tells him an unseen assailant strangled her and left her for dead.

Directors

Here you will find an overview of the cast of the movie House on Haunted Hill from the year 1959, including all the actors, actresses and the director. When you click on the name of an actor, actress or director from the movie House on Haunted Hill-cast you can watch more movies and/or series by him or her. The film was remade as the 1999 film House on Haunted Hill, which had a 2007 sequel titled Return to House on Haunted Hill.

After hearing the sound of the gunshot, Annabelle enters to confirm that her plan to kill her husband has come to fruition. Suddenly, a skeleton emerges from the acid accompanied by Frederick's voice. In this panic, the screaming Annabelle accidentally backs into the acid herself. The real Frederick walks out of the shadows, holding the contraption that he was using to control the skeleton. Eventually it is revealed that Annabelle faked her death in league with one of the guests, Dr. Trent (Alan Marshal).

Ostensibly a murder mystery film, this production leaves ambiguous whether supernatural elements truly exist within the eponymous house—much in contrast to the 1999 remake, which removes the ominous air of uncertainty from Castle’s original story. House on Haunted Hill (1959) is an iconic horror film that was an original and catchy horror film. The film was later remade in a more modern 1999 film with the same time. However, the film during the 1999 version had a darker, more paranormal vibe then its 1959 predecessor. Both films have their pros and cons but for now we will focus on the 1959 version.

The moment is silent as well, and that is disorienting since we're so used to sound cues. With fewexceptions, the rooms and hallways are always shadowed, such that theviewer can't actually see who or what is moving around. And, ofcourse, when you can't see what's coming, it's always moreterrifying. Ensconced in shadows, its impossible to tell if thatmovement really was just the wind, or if that shadow coming down thestairs is really human. The film is full of indistinct shapes andobscured movement, giving it a somewhat creepy feeling despite thegeneral hokeyness of the surrounding décor.

Loren later uses Trent’s skeleton to scare Annabelle into the acid as well. House on Haunted Hill is a 1959 American B movie horror film from Allied Artists. It was directed by William Castle, written by Robb White, and starring Vincent Price as eccentric millionaire Fredrick Loren. He and his fourth wife, Annabelle, have invited five people to the house for a "Haunted House" party. As the night progresses, all the guests are trapped inside the house with ghosts, murderers, and other terrors. An eccentric millionaire and his wife host a party in a haunted mansion for five strangers, who’ll each be given $10,000 if they survive the night.

He invites five people from all walks of life – a test pilot, a secretary, an alcoholic, a sceptical psychologist and a newspaper columnist – to the notorious House on Haunted Hill, offering each $10,000 if they can survive the night. As they settle in for the night, all of them see ghostly apparitions. Loren’s much-despised wife is then found having hung herself in a suspicious manner. The guests begin to suspect that one of their number might be a murderer. In House on Haunted Hill, Castle does not just stop at theatrical gimmickry – the entire film has been constructed as the cinematic equivalent of a fairground haunted house show with heads popping up out of boxes, ghosts out of closets, hanging bodies and acid pools.

The place we’re referring to is known as Greystone Mansion or Doheny Mansion, and it’s located at 905 Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills. The Tudor Revival mansion was originally completed in 1928, after three years’ worth of construction and a total cost of over $4 million — an insane amount at the time. While he resided in this house, he entertained many notable people include John Muir in the guest house. During that time, he became a huge proponent for Native American history. He did lots to establish the preservation of many artifacts in what became the Southwest Museum, the oldest museum in LA.

The Historical Society was concerned about the city's expectations that a tenant would invest in the house without committing to a long-term lease.[3] The Historical Society of Southern California left the Lummis House in January 2015. The Lummis House is now operated by the City of Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department. The updated kitchen features a large central island, soapstone countertops, and plenty of windows. Located between Mt. Washington and Highland Park in Los Angeles, California, this landmarked structure features an original facade made of riverbed stones collected from the Arroyo Seco tributary in central California.

The home now offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space, including four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor holds the living area, den/study, dining room, and kitchen, as well as a spacious bedroom and vintage-style bath. The second floor has an additional two bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as a large bonus room that could double as a home office or fourth bedroom. Outside, shady patios are surrounded by a plethora of fruit trees that offer a fresh supply of Meyer lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and figs.

The land was actually a wedding gift from oil tycoon Edward Doheny to his son, Edward ‘Ned’ Doheny, and his new wife, Lucy Smith. The name of this Los Angeles mansion might not sound familiar, but you’ve surely seen it before, as it’s one of the most sought-after filming locations in Hollywood. If you would like to learn more about the different types of natural stone before browsing our inventory, click here. Our flagship location is led by Cristina Ciceri, who has been part of the Pacific Shore Stones family since its beginning and has a background specific to the stone industry. Driving up Highway 110 to Pasadena, you will want to get off at Ave 43 and head to the left. There are signs for the house since it is a place of historical interest.

Although Occidental College relocated to the nearby Eagle Rock neighborhood in 1912, a series of landmarked homes, including this one, are part of an area originally known as Professors’ Row. The home’s unique facade is inlaid with stones collected from the Arroyo Seco River, which connects with the larger Salinas River in the central valley of California. Historical records indicate at least two additions have been added since the home’s construction, including a wood-clad, two-story section along the back. Across 21,000 square feet are eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a two-story foyer and formal living and dining areas. Terraces and patios overlook the grounds, where rolling lawns surround a pool and putting green. The current (and second) owner of the home is entrepreneur James F. Goldstein.

While it isn’t open to the public, one of the most interesting rooms in the home is the master bedroom. Situated above the pool, there are windows facing into the pool underwater. There is also a wall of windows that makes the space feel like the end of the world. Every room in the home, particularly the living room feels as if it belongs in a different era.

The seventeen homes — also referred to as the Stone-Fisher Speculative Houses — were originally designed by legendary architect Richard Neutra for the Stone-Fisher development company. And not just any house, but one of 17 unique homes designed by legendary architect Richard Neutra propped up over the side of the Beverly Glen Canyon. Years in the making, it features an 85 foot infinity-edged cantilevered concrete foot lap pool. This is in addition to an original pool in the main house which was completed in 1959. Like many of the rooms, the bedroom is not directly connected to the rest of the house through the indoors. The home features one-of-a-kind outdoor hallways, decorated by the sky and a myriad of vegetation.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, as Doheny Estate/Greystone. Last but not least, Greystone Mansion has been featured in commercials and even music videos. You might have already toured the house alongside Robert Downey Jr., in the music video for Elton John’s single I Want Love, whom we get to see wandering about inside the Greystone mansion, lip-syncing the words to the song.

On the opposite side of the living room, a formal dining space features built-in cabinetry. A gated driveway is tucked off to the side of the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure, which is fronted by a brick walkway that passes through a grassy lawn before emptying out at a sage-green door that opens into the original tiled courtyard. Once inside, an entry foyer displaying a curving iron-railed staircase steps down to a light-filled living room adorned with a fireplace, built-in shelving and French doors leading outside. Records show Stone—who maintains a permanent residence in the Texas city of Austin—has stuck a nearly $4 million price tag on a relatively humble yet charming Spanish-style bungalow in the Comstock Hills area of Westwood that was long occupied by her mother. Not only did Emma Stone just garner a Golden Globe win for her performance in the movie Poor Things, but the A-list actress also has decided to lighten her Los Angeles property portfolio. Greystone Mansion also included a servant’s quarters that took up two entire floors on the east wing and was built to accommodate a live-in staff of 15.

The Stonehaus, a boutique enoteca reminiscent of Italy, is the newest addition to the Westlake Village Inn, located off the 101 freeway, halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The Stonehaus is one of the most unique lifestyle gathering places in the greater Los Angeles area. The cute kitchen has a wraparound counter with sleek, white cabinets and a separate sitting nook off to the side. The actress, who recently won a Golden Globe for her role in the comedy-drama, “Poor Things,” bought the 1920s Spanish-style estate in 2019 for $2.3 million, according to records.

Stallone had been shopping it around for more than a year, first listing it in January 2021. It’s a bittersweet sale for Sylvester Stallone, who just unloaded his Beverly Park mega-mansion for $58 million. That’s Southern California’s priciest sale so far this year, but it’s 47% shy of his original price tag of $110 million. The listing is held by Eric Lavey of Sotheby’s International Realty–Beverly Hills Brokerage.

With their unique design, this famous strip of homes has been featured in countless movies and television programs over the years. Club James has it all— from state-of-the-art LCD screens to a concrete DJ booth with a concert-quality sound system. The poured concrete space has a glass wall overlooking Beverly Hills that can retract, giving the space an indoor/outdoor feel. Another one-of-a-kind feature of the bedroom is the closet which features a turnstile to allow Goldstein to easily view his wardrobe. Located within a city preservation zone, the property’s front lawn is bordered by a landmarked Arroyo Stone retaining wall that also runs in front of several neighboring houses. A large bedroom is located on the main level along the front of the home.

Keep scrolling to see more of this historic property, currently listed for $1,245,000. In addition to the main house, the property also includes a newly built, detached guesthouse. The extra space is accessible via the backyard and includes a living room/kitchen area, plus a separate bedroom suite with laundry. It’s perfect for hosting family or friends, or it could be used as a well-appointed office instead. The Greystone Mansion, also known as the Doheny Mansion, is a Tudor Revival mansion on a landscaped estate with distinctive formal English gardens, located in Trousdale Estates of Beverly Hills, California, United States. Architect Gordon Kaufmann designed the residence and ancillary structures, and construction was completed in 1928.

There was also a living room with a balcony where musicians performed at special events, and a kitchen pantry with a secret wall safe that held the family’s silver and gold kitchenware. Along the Arroyo Seco Parkway, which connects Los Angeles and Pasadena, there are an incredible amount of historical spots for you to explore. Among them in the Lummis House, which is one of the oldest structures in the area. Built in the late 1800s, this house was home to the first city editor of the LA Times, Charles Lummis, and is a great spot to explore to see early Los Angeles history.

There’s also an outdoor catering kitchen, a fine dining area, as well as an outdoor media room. Spencer and his business partner Michael Heller currently consult officially with the iconic home, managing the space for high-end brand activations, organizing exclusive events and photoshoots. In 1965, it became the headquarters for the Historical Society of Southern California and the house was opened to the public. By 2014, the city was concerned that visiting hours were too limited and that the historical group was not truly focused on a partnership with the Parks and Recreation Department.

Ned Doheny’s house became known as Greystone because it was built mainly out of stone, and has a grey, stone-cold appearance. The house took roughly three years to build, and included stables, kennels, tennis courts, a gatehouse, a swimming pool and pavilion, a lake with babbling brooks and waterfalls, and even a fire station. The 55-room, 46,000-square-foot mansion lies on a 16-acre site within Trousdale Estates —  a neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California located in the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains.

The Lummis House is operated by the city of Los Angeles as a historic house museum. The exterior of the house is built of river rock and originally contained a stone tower, but that was later demolished. The interior contains some of Lummis's collection of artifacts, as well as copies of many of his books. The Oscar-nominated actor oversaw plenty of changes during his stay, slowly transforming the once-Mediterranean-style compound into a more contemporary estate. He touched up the living spaces with steel-framed windows and doors, added an art studio in the eight-car garage and also tapped mega-mansion master Richard Landry to build a guesthouse.

Specializing in the fabrication and installation of all natural stone, marble, granite and man made materials. The mansion is also a venue for the play The Manor, by Kathrine Bates, directed by Beverly Olevin, and produced by Theatre 40 of Beverly Hills, which takes place in various rooms. The audience is separated during the play to watch scenes in different orders. The Manor's plot is a fictionalized account of the Doheny family, including Doheny's involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal and his son's murder. It has been performed every year at Greystone Mansion since 2002, making it Los Angeles' longest-running play. Listed with Michelle Schwartz of The Agency, the unique architectural home ended up selling for $1,910,000 in March 2023.

And for that reason,the most important part of this film is casting. Just when everyone thinks the trauma is finally over Watson Pritchard looks into the acid and asserts that Annabelle and Dr. Trent have now joined the ranks of house's ghosts. Then, with a terrified expression on his face, he announces that the ghosts are now coming for him, "and then they'll come for you."

David instead meets with Annabelle, who had faked her death using a hanging harness and sedatives. Secretly lovers, the two of them have orchestrated the various mishaps to manipulate Nora into killing Frederick. Nora, seeing Frederick enter the basement with a gun in his hand, does indeed shoot him. After she flees, David slips in to dispose of Frederick's body in the vat of acid, and the lights go out.

It is a reminder of how proper and correct people acted and spoke with one another even under trying times. The quintessential haunted house film, this offering will appeal to fans of William Castle—master of horror gimmicks. Worth noting in particular are the creepy gags featured in House on Haunted Hill, which, though laughable by today’s standards, may affect those of a frail or sensitive disposition. The five guests all arrive in separate funeral cars with a hearse leading, which he explains may be empty now, but they may be in need of it later. He explains the rules of the party and gives each of the guests a .45 caliber pistol for protection. Castle claimed that he named the skelton and the complicated wiring necessary for its appearance "Emergo." In 1999 Warner Bros. remade House on Haunted Hill, starring Geoffrey Rush and Famke Janssen, directed by William Malone.

Director

As mentioned, many of the props are something you would see in your second-grade science class, but nevertheless the film incorporates some classic horror elements which was refreshing to see. Overall, House on Haunted Hill is a fun and entertaining film that is a must see for any horror fan. Nora tells the other guests that she's shot Loren in the wine cellar, and they all rush down there. When they arrive, they see that he's actually alive, and he tells Nora that the gun she had fired at him had been loaded only with blanks.

Vincent Price played Frederick Loren, an eccentric millionaire who rents a reportedly haunted mansion for one night under the pretense of hosting a party for his wife, Annabelle, whom he believes to be after his fortune. He explains to his guests that any among them who survives in the house for one night—during which all communication with the outside world will be cut—will receive a prize of $10,000. Each is presented with a pistol in order to fend off the house’s ghosts. Annabelle warns the guests that she fears Loren means her harm and meanwhile plots with her lover, Dr. Trent, to trick one of the guests into shooting him.

The color version was released on DVD the same year by 20th Century Fox. Extras prepared by Legend Films for the Fox DVD release included an audio commentary track by comedian Michael J. Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000, two versions of the trailer, and a slideshow of images from the film's original press book. William Castle lacked any style as a director and his pace is slow and pedestrian – his films invariably belied the threat of scaring people to death that he constantly promised to do. Nevertheless, the luridness of Castle’s pop-up effects and some effective plot twists on behalf of frequent Castle collaborator Robb White make the film an undeniably entertaining carnival show. Vincent Price and Carol Ohmart play off one another with a marvellously glacial dislike.

Plot

Among these were buzzers hidden beneath moviegoers’ seats and a countdown clock reporting the time that remained for viewers to exit the theatre before viewing the frightening climax of the film. Castle’s gimmick for House on Haunted Hill was “Emergo,” a fake skeleton that flew over the audience on a wire at a key moment during the film, engendering as many laughs from the audience as screams of fright. The black and white cinematography adds to the films overall theme. As the individuals are stuck in the house, spider webs, creepy shadows and ghosts are depicted in various scenes throughout the film. It should also be noted that the film features the outside of the Ennis House, built by Frank Lloyd Wright located in Los Angeles, California and built in 1924.

Film Details

Nora is chased from her room into the basement by Annabelle's ghost. Aroused by the ghostly sounds, David concludes that the killer is about and proposes he and Frederick split up to search the house. Lance uncovers a secret room at the end of the second-floor hall, but the door shuts behind him once he enters, trapping him.

He promises to give each guest $10,000 with the stipulation that they stay the entire night in the house after the doors are locked at midnight, all the windows are barred, and there are no phones or radios to use. The guests are test pilot Lance Schroeder, newspaper columnist Ruth Bridges, psychiatrist Dr. David Trent, who specializes in hysteria, Nora Manning, who works for one of Loren's companies, and the house's owner, Watson Pritchard. All are strangers to both the Lorens and each other, their only commonality being their lust for money. Millionaire Frederick Loren throws a haunted house party for his wife Annabelle.

For a back and white film, there were certainly some shrieks in this flick. The scene with Annabelle hanging from a rope is one of the most iconic scenes in this film. The dead corpse hanging from a ceiling was not something cinema was accustomed to. In addition, the film incorporated shadow work and creepy environments that added to the overall eerie dimensions of the film.

When a I saw this movie for the first time, four years ago, i felt real terror. For my surprise, I decided to make my students watch this film during some of my classes(they are teenagers) and,despite the fact the film is black and white and old, they enjoyed it . They cried a lot and some of my students said this is the most  terrifying movie they ever seen. Ifind it very hard to recommend this film, despite there being a lotof positive things to say about it.

Assorted terrors haunt the guests at every turn, including ghosts, a severed head, and Annabelle’s (later revealed to be faked) death. Though her plot finally comes to fruition and Loren is “shot” by one of the guests, the gun proves to have been loaded with blanks. Trent attempts to dispose of what he thinks is Loren’s corpse, but he is pushed into a vat of acid by Loren.

When it does happen, it's generally because fewer people can afford to purchase homes, and the low demand forces sellers to lower their prices. For more on the types of mortgage loans, see How to Choose the Best Mortgage. Conventional loans can come with down payments as low as 3%, although qualifying is a bit tougher than with FHA loans. Next, choose whether you plan to use the home as your primary residence, a second or vacation home or a rental or investment property. Lenders may offer different interest rates based on your intended use. For example, interest rates for investment properties and vacation homes are often higher than those for primary residences.

Using an online mortgage calculator can help you quickly and accurately predict your monthly mortgage payment with just a few pieces of information. It can also show you the total amount of interest you’ll pay over the life of your mortgage. Before you lock in an interest rate, it’s worth knowing that high interest rates bring higher monthly payments and increase the amount of interest you’ll pay over the life of your loan. In contrast, a low interest rate saves you money in both the short and long term. If you’re new to buying a home, you may not realize all the costs that go into it. In addition to your loan balance and interest, you’ll have to consider property taxes, homeowners insurance, PMI and more.

Reducing monthly mortgage payments

The best way to pay for a home is with a 100% down payment in cash! Not only does it set you up for building wealth, but it also streamlines the real estate process. Spend some time thinking about how much money you can afford to spend on your monthly mortgage payments.

Depending on your individual circumstances, you may need to make more or less than this to qualify. If you can afford a higher monthly payment, a shorter term could be worth it if your goal is to save money overall. But if you want to keep your monthly payment as low as possible, it's best to go with a longer term.

You can edit these amounts, or even edit them to zero, as you're shopping for a loan. A mortgage calculator can help you determine how much house you can afford. Play around with different home prices and down payment amounts to see how much your monthly payment could be, and think about how that fits in with your overall budget.

Lenders, such as banks and building societies, borrow in order to lend. He pointed to a few ways to potentially salvage the state pension – policy change, more babies being born or people working until they are in their 70s. "You can't keep on progressively ratcheting up a more and more generous state pension. The costs of state pensions is going to become increasingly difficult for the younger cohorts to bear." Over the next 50 years, Tom predicts the proportion of GDP the state spends on older people will increase from around 16% to 25%. Mortgage rates started ticking up from historic lows in the second half of 2021 and increased dramatically in 2022 and throughout most of 2023.

Currently only Sketch could do that as it exports its data in JSON. Later, you can connect these decisions with others and create a theme. Using design tokens makes it very easy to scale design and use the same foundations on all platforms (Web, iOS, Android). Design tokens can be managed and distributed with the help of various tools and technologies.

How do I create a design token?

Design tokens increase efficiency, promote collaboration, and ensure a high level of consistency, making them an excellent tool for organizations of all sizes. Design tokens make it easy to keep consistent design values across different platforms and applications. They also make it possible to quickly create new designs by using existing components. Design tokens help designers and developers communicate more effectively, and make it easier to tweak designs without having to resort to hard-coding values. Design (or color) tokens are fundamental to creating a design system. Designers can ensure consistency and efficiency across multiple projects by defining a set of design tokens for colors, typography, spacing, and other visual properties.

But it also generates an XML version for Android or a JSON version for iOS (which you don’t get by using only the Figma Tokens plugin). Usually, teams spend a lot of brain power finding the perfect logic. You can find inspiration in other open design systems, but that doesn’t mean it will work for you. I recommend a workshop to find the most optimal structure for your use case. This makes it easy to grow your design and keep it consistent across all platforms, like Web, iOS, and Android.

Design Tokens with CSS Modules

It's crucial to select tools that best fit your team's workflow and the platforms you're designing for. Each tool comes with its own set of features, so it's important to understand what each offers and how it can benefit your design process. The idea of design tokens started with Salesforce’s Design System in 2014. Now, they're the smallest but most important part of any design system.

Therefore, he started including developers in launch meetings, enhancing collaboration. Even if you’re already using CSS and Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (SASS), there’s still room for improvement when it comes to efficiency. If you want to enjoy the benefits of using design tokens, you’ll need to learn design systems and create a custom design system for your organization.

Design tokens are an integral part of any design system because they make the transformation of a design into a product easier for both designers and developers. As a product designer, you can use design tokens to create a style guide that defines a brand or product’s design guidelines and standards. This can help ensure consistency across all design and development efforts.

The term “design token” can be traced back to somewhere around 2014, when Salesforce began talking about its “single source of truth” for design. Design tokens are central and tiny pieces of UI information to store design related information such as colors, fonts, spaces, animations, etc... Their benefits is that they can be transformed and formatted to meet the needs of any platform (Android, iOS, Web, etc…). Shadow tokens with multiple levelsDefine multiple shadows as in Figma and easily connect them with other styles. ➡️ Below you can find a design system checklist Figma template with the list of design tokens. Space tokens reduce decision making and allow for consistent spacing between elements in a page layout.

Additionally, you’ll see how to use design tokens within JS framework components, allowing for dynamic theming and rapid prototyping. ReactJS is selected as the demo framework, however most observed practices will apply to other frameworks as long as they rely on JSX and CSS. In this example, the design token represents three colors for a user interface. “colorPrimary” is a shade of blue, “colorSecondary” is a shade of red, and “colorBackground” is a light gray.

There also exists a DesignToken.unregisterRoot() method to remove default custom properties from a root. Once the value is set for a node, the value is available to use for that node or any descendent node. The value returned will be the value set for the nearest ancestor (or the element itself). A default value can be set for a token so that the default value is returned from getValueFor() in cases where no other token value is found for a node tree. The type assertion informs what types the token can be set to (and what type will be retrieved), and the name parameter will serve as the CSS Custom Property name (more on that later).

It must use a predictable naming convention so users can easily find tokens and scale the system. UI consistency is a significant challenge when designing at scale. It’s not uncommon for designers to accidentally use slightly different sizing, brand colors, and spacing for a single product! These inconsistencies cause usability issues, increasing engineering and UX debt with every release. Atomic design is a methodology for creating design systems developed by Brad Frost.

Tokens can be exported as JSON and transformed into other types of files too. Design tokens were created by the Salesforce design system team. You can use design tokens to represent anything in the visual design such as colors, typography, effects, and more. They allow you to scale changes—you can change the value of the $primary design token from #FF6358 to #28B4C8, and all components that have the $primary color will be affected. If you use local values instead of design tokens, such changes will be extremely time-consuming. Designers use design tokens to define elements like colors, typography, spacing, and other visual properties throughout a user interface.

Style Dictionary translates raw JSON data into a platform-specific format. It is available as a CLI through NPM, but can also be used like any normal node module if you want to extend its functionality. It can generate different output formats like variables for the common CSS preprocessors like Sass, Stylus, and Less. Now that you understand the basics, we can move on to the more sophisticated names. Complex, multi-brand design systems need many levels for naming because they need to include multiple themes.

Moreover, by using design tokens, designers can create a library of reusable design components and styles, which can help to streamline the design process. Designers can quickly create new designs by combining existing tokens rather than starting from scratch each time. Once designers define design tokens in Figma, they can export them as a JSON or other format and then integrate them into various development workflows and tools. This allows developers to easily access and apply the design tokens in their code, ensuring consistency and reducing the risk of errors.

Starting in 2006, Ridley Scott was set to direct the on-screen version of the downfall of Gucci, with Andrea Berloff writing the script, despite the Gucci family’s known disapproval. In this first iteration of the project, Leonardo DiCaprio and Angelina Jolie were in the mix to play Maurizio Gucci and Patrizia Reggiani, respectively. In 2012, Scott’s daughter Jordan took the directing reins, lassoing Penélope Cruz to play Patrizia. When Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel their legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, d... Patrizia devises a plot to obtain controlling interest in Gucci by acquiring some of Aldo and Paolo's shares (the other 50%). She clashes with Aldo over the firm's clandestine sale of cheap "fake" Gucci products on the black market, and consults Giuseppina "Pina", a psychic, for guidance on how to manipulate Maurizio, who has little real interest in Gucci, into taking a more active role within the company.

Salma Hayek as Giuseppina "Pina" Auriemma

In the second trailer for House of Gucci, viewers get a glimpse into Lady Gaga's portrayal of Patrizia Reggiani—and her doomed marriage to Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). Clearly it would take acting royalty to portray a group of people considered royalty in the fashion industry and it looks like that is exactly what we are in for with the cast of House of Gucci, which hits theaters Wednesday, November 24, 2021. Arguably, his best work is when he is playing a villain, such as Scar in Disney’s original animated The Lion King in 1994, or as Hans Gruber’s brother, Simon, in Die Hard with a Vengeance the following year. Next on Irons’ agenda is a horror movie called Cello, and another biopic called Frankel about Sir Henry Cecil and his titular horse. Also known for making chart-topping hits with his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, and starring in a few blockbusters (notably Suicide Squad as The Joker and the upcoming Morbius in the title role) is Jared Leto, who looks completely unrecognizable as Maurizio Gucci’s cousin, Paolo, in House of Gucci. A member of the New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC), she regularly contributes to RogerEbert.com, Variety and Time Out New York, with bylines in Filmmaker Magazine, Film Journal International, Vulture, The Playlist and The Wrap, among other outlets.

Having since served on the boards of numerous other companies, De Sole currently lives in South Carolina. If the Gucci family era of ownership of the Gucci business might be seen as a “Game of Thrones”/”Succession”-style battle, the Italian-born, Harvard-educated attorney Domenico De Sole could be seen as the winner. Hired by Rodolfo Gucci after De Sole stood up to Aldo Gucci in a meeting, De Sole would rise to be CEO of Gucci America in 1984 and become CEO of Gucci Group from 1994 to 2004. When Lady Gaga shared a photo from the set of House of Gucci featuring her and Adam Driver, the Internet, understandably, went wild. From his cable-knit sweater to her jewelry-heavy, '80s-inspired look, the details were perfect, and buzz for the film immediately skyrocketed.

Storyline

The former Marine and former Girls cast member has worked with many other great filmmakers including Steven Spielberg (Lincoln), Joel and Ethan Coen (Inside Llewyn Davis), and Martin Scorsese (Silence), to name a few. Driver has been nominated for acting Oscars twice (first in 2019 for BlacKkKlansman, and then for Netflix’s Marriage Story the following year), but he is most famous, of course, for playing Kylo Ren in the Star Wars movies. Huston's previous film credits include supporting roles in American Hustle and Hail, Caesar! On the small screen he had a recurring role as Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire and a leading role in the fourth season of Fargo. Throughout his long career, Sir Ridley Scott has worked with some of the finest actors of all time – but even by his lofty standards, the cast for his new film House of Gucci is especially star-studded.

Among his many endeavors since leaving Gucci, Ford directed the Academy Award-nominated feature films “A Single Man” and “Nocturnal Animals.” In a recent interview with GQ, he spoke about the “House of Gucci” movie project. Hayek, who plays Auriemma in “House of Gucci,” is married to François-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kering, the luxury group that currently owns Gucci. According to a recent story in the Hollywood Reporter, it was Pinault who gave the production permission to use the Gucci name and access to the company’s archives. Long wanting to be a designer himself, Paolo endlessly fought to use his own name on products, attempting to leverage the Gucci branding for his own ends.

And while the film has already divided early audiences and critics, Gaga’s performance remains a highlight for many. Aldo Gucci’s nephew, Maurizio Gucci — who worked closely with his uncle in the U.S. market — described him as “a man of great vision,” following his death in 1990. This involved exiting duty-free shops around the world, which meant eliminating a portion of its revenue.

Paola Franchi (Camille Cottin)

The company also focused on removing counterfeits and cheap quality products so that Gucci could reposition as a luxury brand. Patrizia Reggiani came from a humble background before her mother married transportation magnate Fernando Reggiani, which catapulted Reggiani into a life of being a socialite. Reggiani married Maurizio Gucci in 1972 and the couple had two daughters, Alessandra and Allegra. They became a notable and globally influential couple, splitting their time between Milan and New York, where they had an apartment in the Olympic Tower.

Known mainly as Pina, Auriemma was a self-styled psychic who was on Patrizia's payroll and became her close friend. (In later years, Auriemma has denied that she sold herself as a mystic – although this does not line up with media reports from the time). It can be slow going, but House of Gucci adds up to a fascinating story -- and Lady Gaga's performance is a knockout. Paulo Gucci, son of Aldo Gucci, did not inherit the Gucci taste in clothing or quality. Older than his cousin Maurizio, Paulo wants to be an artist, though he still holds shares in Gucci.

Aside from his family squabbles, Paolo Gucci was embroiled in other financial issues in his life. His ex-wife, Jenny Garwood, had sued him for allegedly failing to pay $505,600 in child support and he had a warrant out for his arrest for his questionable bankruptcy filing. Paolo Gucci also played a role in his father’s tax-evasion case, as he turned in information that implicated his father and led to his conviction. Aldo Gucci was also in embroiled in another public scandal in 1985 when the Gucci company sued him on charges of siphoning off millions of dollars. He was ousted from his role and his brother, Rodolfo Gucci, became chairman. Maurizio Gucci died in 1995 at the age of 46 after being shot outside his Milan office.

The award-winning actor plays Aldo Gucci, who was the eldest son of Gucci founder Guccio Gucci. Aldo introduces Patrizia to his eccentric son Paolo, who aspires to be a designer within Gucci despite his lack of talent. Aldo helps Maurizio and a terminally ill Rodolfo reconcile shortly before the latter's death. Rodolfo writes Maurizio back into his will but fails to sign the document attesting him the 50% interest in Gucci shares before he dies, so Patrizia forges Rodolfo's signature on Rodolfo's updated testament. Scott wanted to make a film about the Gucci dynasty after acquiring rights to Forden's book in the early 2000s. The project languished for several years, with a number of directors and rumored actors being considered before Scott and Gaga became officially attached in November 2019.

Spite and bad-blood brew amongst the clan throughout the story that spans three decades, especially after Patrizia sneakily talks Maurizio out of his law school dreams, muscles her way into the family business, and turns her husband against pretty much every member of the family. Through it all, Salma Hayek’s naive psychic Pina guides the increasingly distraught queen-bee Patrizia with prophecies about the future, lending the film some of its most hysterical scenes. Paolo Gucci, the son of Aldo Gucci, had a tumultuous history in the family business. His role was smaller than that of his father, uncle and cousin, but Paolo Gucci was instrumental in the Gucci company’s success in the late ’50s and early ’60s when he was chief designer. The youngest son of Guccio Gucci, Rodolfo Gucci was initially a film actor before joining the family business after WWII. His wife, actress Alessandra Winkelhausen Gucci, died at age 44 in 1954 when their son Maurizio was only 5 years old.

The Hadestown actor plays American fashion designer Tom Ford, who once served as the creative director at Gucci. With the help of hours of makeup, Leto’s transformation as Paolo makes the character an empathetic outsider, a dreamer who just wants permission to realize his off-kilter creative visions while tending to his pet pigeons. It was a “heartbreaking” performance, Q&A moderator Jenelle Riley said, a suggestion that was met with raucous applause. Paolo’s dreams are often put down by his father, fashion-house boss Aldo Gucci, played by Al Pacino in a performance met with similar affection by the audience. While he was involved with the family business, he was better known for his stage career.

House of Gucci vacillates between inspired camp and dour drama too often to pull off a confident runway strut, but Lady Gaga's note-perfect performance has a timeless style all its own. Pina becomes a close friend and astrologer to Patrizia Reggiani in the film. The two of them later go on a retreat of sorts together, and the film shows Pina helping Patrizia hire the hitmen that end up murdering her ex-husband.

The Killing Eve actress plays Italian interior designer Paola Franchi, who was dating Maurizio Gucci at the time of his death. The Marriage Story actor stars as Maurizio Gucci, the former head of the Gucci fashion house (and Patrizia's ex-husband) who was assassinated in March 1995. When Maurizio's business plans harm Gucci's firm, he seeks assistance from an equity company Investcorp, through which he hatches a scheme to acquire shares of the firm from the now-impoverished Paolo. As Aldo returns from prison and realizes what Paolo has done, Investcorp offers to buy him out, he refuses until Maurizio reveals himself as the deal's instigator, whereupon Aldo sells his shares and cuts contact with Maurizio. The screening, held at the brand-new 1,000-seat David Geffen Theater, was packed to its COVID-reduced capacity with SAG-AFTRA members and others, making it one of the first audiences to get a glimpse at the film that’s seemingly had awards buzz since it was announced. While Lady Gaga’s method turn has made headlines ahead of the film’s November 24 release (she said she spoke in her character’s Italian-accented English for nine months straight), it was Jared Leto who seemed to make the biggest impression on the Academy audience.

A mortgage is a loan secured by property, usually real estate property. In essence, the lender helps the buyer pay the seller of a house, and the buyer agrees to repay the money borrowed over a period of time, usually 15 or 30 years in the U.S. A portion of the monthly payment is called the principal, which is the original amount borrowed.

How will interest rates affect your home loan?

Ottolenghi said he had "always been super eager to get our flavours onto people's dinner plates nationwide, not just in London, without having to cook it from scratch every single time". The latest tracker issued by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) showed a 1% increase on the previous three months to £635. Challenges will involve spending a certain amount on a range, such as its BBQ food offering, or type of product, such as plant-based food. Customers who complete the "challenges" will be handed extra Clubcard points. "We want our customers to buy stamps with confidence and always recommend that customers only purchase stamps from post offices and other reputable high street retailers," he said. From Monday 6 May to Saturday 11 May union members will not work overtime.

What happens when you qualify for a loan?

A fixed rate is when your interest rate remains the same for your entire loan term. An adjustable rate stays the same for a predetermined length of time and then resets to a new interest rate on scheduled intervals. A 5-year ARM, for instance, offers a fixed interest rate for 5 years and then adjusts each year for the remaining length of the loan. Typically the first fixed period offers a low rate, making it beneficial if you plan to refinance or move before the first rate adjustment.

Refinance calculator

Homeowner's insurance is based on the home price, and is expressed as an annual premium. The calculator divides that total by 12 months to adjust your monthly mortgage payment. Average annual premiums usually cost less than 1% of the home price and protect your liability as the property owner and insure against hazards, loss, etc. Most home loans require at least 3% of the price of the home as a down payment. Although it's a myth that a 20% down payment is required to obtain a loan, keep in mind that the higher your down payment, the lower your monthly payment.

The "principal" is the amount you borrowed and have to pay back (the loan itself), and the interest is the amount the lender charges for lending you the money. View today’s mortgage rates or calculate what you can afford with our mortgage calculator. When you're getting ready to buy or refinance a home, it's important to make a smart financial move. With a host of different mortgage calculators at your fingertips, you can quickly assess your loan options and your monthly costs so you can make an informed decision. Paying back $200,000 over the course of 30 years is going to yield a much lower monthly payment than paying that same amount back over the course of 15 years.

If you pay less than 20%, lenders will expect you to pay PMI as part of your mortgage payment each month. The “taxes” portion of your mortgage payment refers to your property taxes. The amount you pay in property taxes is based on a percentage of your property value, which can change from year to year. The actual amount you pay depends on several factors including the assessed value of your home and local tax rates. Our calculator can factor in monthly, annual, or one-time extra payments.

Comparing common loan types

If you don’t consider them all, you may budget for one payment, only to find out that it’s much larger than you expected. A mortgage loan term is the maximum length of time you have to repay the loan. Longer terms usually have higher rates but lower monthly payments. It is possible to pay down your loan faster than the set term by making additional monthly payments toward your principal loan balance.

For example, you can’t negotiate on the property taxes in your state, but you can always try to negotiate a lower price on your home. Short-term mortgages offer less protection against changing interest rates because you need to renew them more frequently. Long-term mortgages typically have higher rates but offer more protection against rising interest rates. Penalties for breaking a long-term mortgage can be higher for this type of term.

From there, you can test out different loan terms to see which one is the most manageable for your current income. Depending on how much you change the home price in the mortgage calculator, it could drastically change your estimated monthly mortgage payments. You can play around with those numbers a little to figure out what kind of monthly payment you can afford. Our mortgage calculator can help you estimate your monthly mortgage payment. This calculator estimates how much you’ll pay for principal and interest.

Current HELOC rates are relatively low compared to other loan options, including credit cards and personal loans. Refinancing involves replacing an existing mortgage with a new mortgage loan contract. While this usually means a different interest rate and new loan conditions, it also involves a new application, an underwriting process, and a closing, amounting to significant fees and other costs. Nonetheless, borrowers should keep in mind that banks may impose stipulations governing prepayments since they reduce a bank's earnings on a given mortgage. These conditions may consist of a penalty for prepayments, a cap on how much borrowers can pay in a lump sum form, or a minimum amount specified for prepayments. If such conditions exist, a bank will usually spell them out in the mortgage agreement.

Lenders will compare your income and debt in a figure known as your debt-to-income ratio. Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the percentage of gross income (before taxes are taken out) that goes toward your debt. In the early 20th century, buying a home involved saving up a large down payment.

Loan amount - If you're getting a mortgage to buy a new home, you can find this number by subtracting your down payment from the home's price. If you're refinancing, this number will be the outstanding balance on your mortgage. Conforming loans have maximum loan amounts that are set by the government and conform to other rules set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the companies that provide backing for conforming loans.

You can also opt to includes your taxes and insurance in this payment estimate. Your loan term and interest rate will remain the same, but your monthly payment will be lower. With fees around $200 to $300, recasting can be a cheaper alternative to refinancing. Are you considering homeownership for the first time, but aren’t sure what kind of house you can afford? If so, a mortgage calculator is a helpful tool that you can use to determine what your monthly mortgage payments might be.

If you choose, we’ll also show you estimated property taxes and homeowners insurance costs as part of your monthly payment. Loan term (years) - This is the length of the mortgage you're considering. On the other hand, a homeowner who is refinancing may opt for a loan with a shorter repayment period, like 15 years.

Most lenders are required to max DTI ratios at 43%, not including government-backed loan programs. But if you know you can afford it and want a higher debt load, some loan programs — known as nonqualifying or “non-QM” loans — allow higher DTI ratios. Down payment - The down payment is money you give to the home's seller. At least 20 percent down typically lets you avoid mortgage insurance. Most people use a mortgage calculator to estimate the payment on a new mortgage, but it can be used for other purposes, too.

To find "n," the number of months required to repay the loan, multiply the number of years by 12. If you have a 30-year mortgage, multiply 30 by 12 to get 360 months.

House of Gucci Cast and Characters: Who Plays Who?

That is only one reason why I have been anticipating House of Gucci - based on the book by Sara Gay Forden about Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) and her conspiratorial crusade to take control of the fashion dynasty from her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). Rodolfo Gucci, father to Maurizio and brother to Aldo, didn’t originally want to work for Gucci under his father Guccio. He started out as an actor under the screen name Maurizio D’Ancora, for which he and his later wife and actress Alessandra would name their son. Maurizio Gucci, son of Rodolfo Gucci and grandson of patriarch Guccio Gucci, wants nothing to do with the family business or brand until he meets Patrizia. Shy, reserved and quiet-mannered, Maurizio is the only son of Rodolfo, and his mother Alessandra is not featured in the film.

Maurizio Gucci looked to Dawn Mello, then president of Bergdorf Goodman, to help revitalize the brand. With her help, Gucci brought on Richard Lambertson, who was the head of Bergdorf Goodman’s accessories department, as the design house’s new design director. Fashion designer Tom Ford was also brought on to oversee women’s ready-to-wear.

Ridley Scott’s film offers a dramatized version of the real-life events surrounding the murder of Maurizio Gucci, who was the head of the Gucci fashion house in the ’90s and was the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci. Gucci’s death was orchestrated by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani, who hired a hit man to kill her ex-husband outside of the Milan Gucci offices. Also in the mix is Aldo’s son Paolo, brought to life by Jared Leto, whose outrageous (and extremely fun) gaudiness single-handedly earns the aforesaid “rock concert” analogy. Leto’s approach to the role instantly proves apt for Paolo, an incompetent businessman wannabe and an aspiring fashion designer with little taste and even less talent.

Film, TV & Theatre

Maurizio Gucci would go from reluctantly joining his family firm to ruthlessly ousting his relatives to enact the vision he was convinced would save the company. His lavish spending and lackluster management left the company in a precipitous position when he finally relinquished control. It’s fitting that Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci” has a title card that reads “inspired by the true story.” The Gucci family themselves had long been careful mythmakers and shapers of the company’s image. Erica Gonzales is the Senior Culture Editor at ELLE.com, where she oversees coverage on TV, movies, music, books, and more. The first trailer for House of Gucci showcases all the glitz, glamour, and drama that the upcoming Ridley Scott film is sure to provide. Lady Gaga steals the show with her coy and cunning depiction of Patrizia, not to mention her Italian accent.

“I said to Ridley, ‘You know, I’d love to do this, but if I do, I’d go absolutely fucking crazy,'” Leto recalled. When Aldo Gucci was ousted from the company following his tax evasion charges and allegations of siphoning money from the company, Rodolfo Gucci was named chairman in 1982. He ultimately served five-and-a-half months in prison in Florida for the crime and finished his sentence at a hallway house in West Palm Beach, Fla. Aldo Gucci opened the design house’s first store in New York that year and later expanded to locations in Beverly Hills, Chicago and Florida. Aldo Gucci was the oldest son of Guccio Gucci, who started the Gucci brand in 1921 as a saddle and leather business. She now lives in Milan and works at a costume jewelry firm as a design consultant.

Salma Hayek (Giuseppina Auriemma)

He later gave up his acting career to join his family in running the Gucci business in 1953 following his father’s death. With his brother Aldo Gucci, the Gucci brothers split the business evenly among themselves. Rodolfo Gucci served as the company’s vice chairman, while Aldo Gucci was chairman. Gucci’s restructuring plan hit a roadblock in the early ’90s as it faced a difficult retail market and a customer base that was still adjusting to the design house’s new luxury positioning. This led to conflicts between Maurizio Gucci and Investcorp, which later resulted in the investment company acquiring all of Maurizio Gucci’s shares.

It’s Based on a True Story

Much of the remaining cast joined the following summer, and filming began in Italy, lasting from February through May 2021. If Leto and Pacino’s father-son pairing deliver on the kind of campy melodrama promised in the first “House of Gucci” trailer, a steady Driver is on the other end as Maurizio, whose romance with Patrizia builds to disaster as the impact of her manipulation lasts long after the pair split. Then there’s Salma Hayek as Pina Auriemma, the TV psychic who, at one point, speaks directly through the television camera to Patrizia, and to the audience itself. Leto, with his own, less Russian-sounding take on the movie’s Italian-English dialect (“It’s chic-a!”), said Scott initially eyed him for another role. But after reading the script, the Oscar winner fell in love with the character of Paolo Gucci, the black sheep of the dysfunctional fashion dynasty.

He left the label in 2004 and since then has launched his own Tom Ford line and is currently chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Tall, thin, blond and comfortable in the world of the wealthy — seemingly the opposite in every way of Patrizia — Paola Franchi was Maurizio’s girlfriend during the last years of his life and was living with him at his vast palazzo on Milan’s luxurious Corso Venezia at the time of his death. (Her son, Charly, who was also living there, is not included in the film.) Maurizio and Paola had known each other briefly as teenagers, meeting on the beaches of Santa Margherita, and began their relationship after reuniting in 1990 at a nightclub in St. Moritz. Patrizia had Paola thrown out the day after Maurizio was murdered, filing papers with the court mere hours after the shooting. A 2016 article in The Guardian reported that Franchi split her time between Milan and Kenya. Maurizio was acquitted of tax evasion after he was charged with forging his father’s signature on the stock certificates that transferred Rodolfo’s shares of Gucci to him following Rodolfo’s death in 1983.

House Of Gucci Cast: Where You've Seen The Actors Before

Rodolfo's brother and Paolo's father, Aldo had a very different idea to his brother regarding how best to run the family business, which led to a major rift between the pair. He was also largely disapproving of his son, but had a good working relationship with Maurizio in New York during the '70s. An acting legend on stage and screen, Irons' varied screen career has seen him star in such films as The French Lieutenant's Woman, Dead Ringers, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Man in the Iron Mask and Margin Call. He won an Academy Award for his performance as Claus von Bülow in 1990 film Reversal of Fortune while other well-known credits include voicing Scar in The Lion King and playing Alfred Pennyworth in the DC Extended Universe.

After her Oscar-nominated performance in Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born, the singer and actress is now appearing alongside Adam Driver and an A-list cast in House of Gucci, which is centered on one of fashion's most famous families. He would later continue that side-hustle of film criticism on TikTok (@wiesewisdom), where he posts videos on a semi-weekly basis. Former Italian model Paola Franchi - who was dating Maurizio Gucci at the time of his assassination - is played in House of Gucci by Camille Cottin. The French actress and comedian made her English-language debut in 2018 with another historical film called Allied, also starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, and would later star opposite Matt Damon in Stillwater in 2021. She is currently filming a biopic about “Iron Lady of Israel” Golda Meir with Helen Mirren.

Reggiani was known for being money-hungry and always dressed to the nines in designer wares and opulent jewelry. According to WWD’s archival coverage of Maurizio Gucci’s murder, she told an Italian television show that she could hardly survive off the $3 million a year she was receiving from her ex-husband in child support payments. Rodolfo Gucci, Maurizio Gucci’s father, didn’t approve of his son’s marriage and feared that Reggiani was only after the family’s money.

Patrizia eventually grows so furious with Maurizio that she asks Pina to help her assassinate him. A few days later, they shoot Maurizio to death in broad daylight outside his office. In the final scene, Patrizia takes her husband's last name when announcing herself before court, to stress that she still considers herself to be a Gucci even if the law does not.
