Bill Clinton once described the White House Family Theatre as, quote, the best perk of the White House. The snug 40-ish seat venue provided a retreat for presidents and their guests for more than 80 years after its conversion from a cloakroom by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942. Jimmy Carter was a fan. He watched hundreds of films there, starting with All the President's Men.

This is NPR. Collagen supplements have become popular in wellness circles as a way to boost skin, hair, and nail health. NPR's Maria Godoy looks at the evidence behind the hype.
Collagen is a structural protein that helps keep skin firm and elastic. in our 20s, our body's production of collagen starts to decline, which is why people turn to collagen supplements. When it comes to skin, randomized controlled trials have found that taking it for 8 to 12 weeks can indeed improve things like depth of wrinkles, skin elasticity, and dermal thickness.
But a recent meta-analysis of such studies came with a big caveat, says dermatologist Marianne Macrita Sena of Harvard.
High-quality studies and studies not funded by industry are did not show a significant association.
Senna says if you want to boost your skin, focus on things that are backed by strong science, like using sunscreen during the day and retinol at night. Maria Godoy, NPR News.
