On April 1, Netflix began streaming the
first 10 episodes of a comedy called The
Ranch. Ashton Kutcher stars as a for-
mer pro-football player who returns to
Colorado help run
the family’s ranch.
Co-stars include
Danny Masterston
as Kutcher’s brother;
Sam Elliot (a Western
movie/TV show icon)
as his father; and
Debra Winger, 62, as
the brothers’ mother.
Winger It’s possible that
Kutcher and Winger
talked about Israel during filming breaks:
Winger, whose three children were raised
Jewish, toured Israel on a teen trip and
visited again in 2008. Kabbalah Centre
devotee Kutcher has visited Israel at least
three times for spiritual and business
reasons.
Comedian Andrew “Dice” Clay, 58, was
never my cup of tea. I found his misogy-
nist, caveman/greaser stand-up act hard

THE RITCHIE BOYS
During WWII, a group of young, mostly
Jewish German-speaking boys who had
fled Nazi persecution and immigrated
to the U.S. were drafted into the Army
and trained in interrogating POWs at
Maryland’s Camp Ritchie military intel-
ligence training center. They became
known as the Ritchie Boys. Among them
was Guy Stern, his family’s sole survivor
of Nazi Germany — and who also took
part in the Normandy invasion. Today,
Stern, 94, lives in Metro Detroit and is
the director of the Harry and Wanda
Zekelman International Institute of the
Righteous at the Holocaust Memorial
Center Zekelman Family Campus in
to take on an
on-going basis.
Still, Clay turned
in a surprisingly
good dramatic
performance in
the Woody Allen
film Blue Jasmine
Clay
(2014). So, maybe
there’s more to him than most assume,
and it’s worth checking out his new six-
episode Showtime series, Dice, which
starts on April 10. It’s a semi-scripted
autobiographical show that follows Dice
as he attempts a career resurgence. He
moves to Vegas and tries to repay his
gambling debts while, at the same time,
managing his two sons’ rock band. Guest
stars include Rita Rudner, 62, Michael
Rapapport, 42, and Adrien Brody, 42.
AT THE MOVIES
Opens Friday, April 8: Jake Gyllenhaal,
35, stars in Demolition as Davis, a success-
ful investment banker who is devastated
when he loses his wife in a car crash. His
father-in-law, played by the always-great
Chris Cooper, pressures him to get it
together. But Davis continues to melt-
down. Among other things, he writes a
series of letters, containing startling per-
sonal admissions, to the customer service
