TURIN, Italy (AP) — Making his first speaking appearance since #MeToo-era allegations derailed his career, actor Kevin Spacey used a colorful Italian term to thank the National Cinema Museum in the northern city of Turin Monday for having the courage to invite him.  Spacey received a lifetime achievement aware from the museum, discussed key roles during a master class and then introduced the 1999 film “American Beauty,’’ for which he won his second acting Oscar, to a sold-out crowd.
