Timothée Chalamet Embodies Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown
When Timothée Chalamet agreed to portray Bob Dylan in the biographical film A Complete Unknown, many questioned his decision. Chalamet, then in his 20s, had little experience with Dylan’s music or instruments like the harmonica and guitar. Yet, what he lacked in familiarity, he made up for in tenacity, spending more than five years immersing himself in Dylan’s world before stepping onto the set.
Correspondent Anderson Cooper captures this artistic journey in a candid profile that highlights the actor’s intense preparation, vulnerability, and ambition. From visits to Dylan’s New York haunts to reflections at Chalamet’s childhood home, the segment paints a portrait of an actor striving for authenticity. The result of his work is more than just a performance—it’s a transformation that earned him a coveted Academy Award nomination.
This segment also explores the deeper parallels between Chalamet and Dylan. Both rose to prominence at a young age and became cultural symbols of their generations. Through Cooper’s interviews and on-location conversations, viewers witness how Chalamet channels Dylan’s elusive spirit, not through mimicry, but by tapping into the emotional truth of the artist he plays.
Jamie Lee Curtis Reflects on a Career That Keeps Evolving
Few actors have enjoyed the longevity and reinvention of Jamie Lee Curtis. Born to film legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, she seemed destined for Hollywood. Yet, as she explains to correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, her path to enduring success wasn’t written in the stars. Dropping out of college and landing early roles in horror films like Halloween, Curtis quickly became a household name. Still, she never imagined the acclaim she would earn decades later.
This segment offers a revealing look at Curtis’s journey from “scream queen” to Academy Award winner. Speaking from her home in Los Angeles, Curtis shares how age has brought not just perspective, but opportunities she never expected. Roles in films like Everything Everywhere All at Once have showcased her range and depth, redefining how audiences see her and how she sees herself.
More than just a Hollywood story, Curtis’s profile becomes a narrative about personal growth and embracing change. Now in her 60s, she speaks openly about reinvention, resilience, and her mission to age unapologetically in an industry known for overlooking older women. Her reflections are both inspiring and grounded, marking this as a standout feature in the special.
Kate Winslet Finds Her Voice Through the Story of Lee Miller
Kate Winslet’s dedication to challenging roles has long set her apart, and her latest project, Lee, may be her most personal yet. In this film, Winslet portrays Lee Miller, a fearless World War II photographer and one of the few women to document the front lines. But Lee is more than a biopic—it’s a passion project Winslet helped produce, driven by her admiration for Miller’s courage and complexity.
Cecilia Vega travels to the United Kingdom to spend time with Winslet and gain deeper insight into her creative process. The segment reveals how Winslet connected with Miller’s spirit—not only as a performer but as a woman navigating an industry still fraught with gender inequality. Her commitment to telling women’s stories, especially those too often left out of history books, comes through with clarity and conviction.
Winslet discusses the physical and emotional demands of portraying Miller, from re-creating battlefield conditions to embodying a woman haunted by trauma yet driven by purpose. In doing so, she draws from her own experiences confronting body image scrutiny and industry bias. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of an actress using her platform not just to entertain, but to advocate.
A Tribute to Storytellers Who Redefine the Screen
“A Night at the Movies” is not just a retrospective—it’s a celebration of the art of acting and the people who keep pushing its boundaries. With new material and behind-the-scenes insights, this updated 60 Minutes special brings viewers closer to the stars they admire, while honoring the discipline and determination it takes to bring powerful stories to life.
These three portraits—Chalamet, Curtis, and Winslet—are unified by their subjects’ willingness to take risks and step into complex roles that demand more than talent. They require vulnerability, curiosity, and a deep respect for the craft. From a folk music icon to a genre-defining scream queen to a wartime photographer, each actor carries their character with care and conviction.
As viewers settle in on Sunday night, they’ll be treated not just to interviews or film clips, but to an intimate exploration of how great performances are made. With the trusted reporting of Anderson Cooper, Sharyn Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega, 60 Minutes Presents: A Night at the Movies offers a rare and moving tribute to the performers who continue to challenge expectations and leave a lasting impact on cinema.
