Nathan Lane recently appeared on "Sunday Today" to reflect on the 1996 comedy "The Birdcage," which helped elevate him from a New York stage performer to a bonafide movie star. He revealed that his co-star Robin Williams had stepped in to avoid an uncomfortable conversation when the two appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" more than a quarter of a century ago. The movie was a smash hit, grossing over $185 million worldwide and normalizing the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood.

On Monday, a fresco titled "Young Hercules and the Snake" from Herculaneum was returned to Italy along with 59 other ancient pieces that had been illegally trafficked to the United States. The returned works are estimated to be worth more than $20 million and are a major victory for Italy in its fight against international art trafficking. The pieces were originally from Herculaneum, a city destroyed by the 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
