Chrissie Hynde Rocks & Hodor Speaks
Chrissie Hynde, who founded The Pretenders — and still performs under the name — reveals the pain behind the music in a new memoir. Also, the actor who plays Hodor, the “Game of Thrones” character who only says one word, becomes the internet’s favorite gentle giant. But he has a different dream: to be a world-famous DJ. And we dare to ask whether Shakespeare needs to be translated (into English).
