At 79 years old in 2023, Sam Elliott reflects on his enduring love story with his wife, Katharine Ross, revealing the secrets behind their lasting relationship.

Their journey began on the set of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” where Elliott was instantly smitten with Ross, though too intimidated to approach her.

However, fate intervened in 1978 during the filming of “The Legacy,” allowing them to forge a deep connection.

Married since the late 1980s, Ross’s fifth marriage and Elliott’s first, they have weathered over three decades together. Elliott attributes the longevity of their union to mutual understanding and a willingness to confront challenges head-on.

He emphasizes the importance of working through difficulties rather than walking away, citing it as the foundation for lasting relationships.

Beyond love, Elliott believes in the value of commitment and hard work, principles that have guided their marriage through the years.

Avoiding the distractions of tabloid gossip and staying grounded in their shared values has further strengthened their bond.

Their love extends to their daughter, Cleo Rose, who has pursued a career in music, following in her parents’ footsteps. Elliott cherishes their close relationship, relishing simple pleasures like walks and rock hunting near their Malibu home.

Despite their success, Elliott remains humble, finding fulfillment in the everyday joys of life, from caring for their animals to the simple act of shoveling manure. For Elliott, it’s these grounded moments that keep them connected and grateful for the life they’ve built together in Malibu.

Angie Dickinson was one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation. She won awards for her amazing roles and would be praised for her skills as a performer.

But years on, at 92 years old, it seems the glamor of the actress’ heyday has long faded. To find out what her life looks like now, keep reading…

Angeline Dickinson who is more widely known as Angie is an American actress who has had a tremendous television career. She started out by appearing on anthology shows in the early ’50s. Then she finally landed a role in “Gun the Man Down,” but you may also remember her from her sow “Rio Bravo,” which earned her a Golden Globe award.

Apart from television, she also did a lot of work in films. She had roles in movies like “Jessica,” “The Chase,” “The Outside Man,” “The Art of Love,” “The Killers,” “Ocean’s 11 (1964),” “Pretty Maids All in a Row,” and many more. She was a highly booked actress throughout the ’60s and ’70s.

But perhaps her most impactful role was as Seargent Pepper Anderson in “Police Woman.” This was the first time an actress was the lead in a television show and she was a smash hit. Her role also inspired several young girls to join the police force.

The actress herself acknowledged how “unique” it was to see a woman in uniform on television. While it is common to see women as cops on television today in shows such as CSI or Law and Order, at the time it was a unique experience.

In a PBS series titled “Pioneers of Television,” the actress discussed her involvement with the role and how positively audiences responded to crime shows even at the time.

But the actress never considered herself a “feminist.” She believed she had to compete with men. While she was not a feminist herself, her role did empower a lot of women to make certain decisions.

As for herself, the actress said, “when I was up for a role, I didn’t compete with men; it was a role for a woman.”

And when she was asked about the pay gap which actresses still struggle with, she revealed that it did not bother her. The actress said she was “content” with the salary she had been offered at the time.

She also lamented at the missed opportunity she had with “Police Woman.” She said that the show did not show more. She said she felt the show was “too clean.” She did not appreciate how each episode ended perfectly and how little violence there was in them.

The actress said she wished her show had depicted worse consequences for bad guys. She appreciated current shows like  “Southland” and “Detroit 1-8-7,” which do better with depicting such circumstances than her show did.

When the show was at its most popular, the actress revealed she would often get letters from fans who told her how she had inspired them to become join the police force.

The actress was in her 40s when “Police Woman” and she worked incredibly hard to deliver a stellar performance. She worked twice as hard as actresses younger than her and even with age, her beauty seemed to get even more enhanced rather than just fade.

She was captivating for a lot of people. Which is why it is rumored she was incredibly close to the Rat Pack. It was famously rumored that the actress had a 10 year long affair with Frank Sinatra after the two of them starred in the original Ocean’s 11 together. There were also rumors that Angie was involved with Dean Martin and former president John F. Kennedy as well.

The actress also made her famous cameo in 2001’s “Ocean’s 11” with George Clooney. She is still regarded as a Hollywood legend who is praised by the entire industry even today.

In 2020, the actress made a startling revelation in an interview. She appeared on “CBS Sunday Morning Show” where she was asked about her time on “Police Woman.” She revealed that when she was first offered the role, she had wanted “to throw up.”

She said at the time it was a “horrendous undertaking.” She revealed the show shot 20 to 21 episodes each season which would be a grueling task. She told the showrunners she would give them four years but no more than that!

She worked on the show for four years and now revealed that she had not been paid much for it. In the end she says it “sapped” years of her life and that it “wasn’t worth it.”

When she was asked what prompted her to accept the role, the actress simply replied that David Gerber had told her it would turn her into a household name. But she revealed how at the time it was something she had wanted but things people want change all the time.

In her life, the actress has been married twice. She married her first husband Gene Dickinson in 1952 and their marriage ended in 1960. The actress later met and married Burt Bacharach. She was with him from 1965 to 1981. It was also Bacharach’s second marriage.

The couple had a daughter together – the first child for them both. They named their daughter Nikki. She was born prematurely about 3 months earlier than her due date in 1966. Years later, Angie revealed that her daughter had Asperger’s syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum and often referred to as a type of “high-functioning autism.”

Nikki studied geology at Cal Lutheran University. Unfortunately, her eyesight became worse and worse which prevented her from having a career. Her parents then took her to a specialized facility where she lived for ten years.

Sadly Nikki died by suicide in 2007 in her condo in Thousand Oaks. She was 40 years old at the time and a statement released to the public read that she had taken her life to “escape the ravages” in her mind.

Angie later said of her daughter, “She was very smart and funny and wonderful. Yeah, so all my memories of her are my best memories.”

When Angie got together with Bacharach, he was still unknown in the industry while she was a major name. But soon Bacharach wrote songs for Dionne Warwick and Butch Cassidy which helped him gain a lot of popularity.

While he got busier, Angie was more than happy to take a backseat so she could be a better mother and wife. She even rejected projects to make sure she was close to home at all times. She did not step out in the industry for a while till “Police Woman” came out.

When she got the job, she had a clause added to her contract that said she would be home by 6 p.m. but of course it did not work out the way she had wanted. She would often end up bringing Italian takeout on her way home from work so the family could eat on time. At the time Bacharach told her she was angry all the time, she did not understand what he meant till years later.

She understood much later that she would blame herself for the smallest thing which was hurting her marriage too. She later wondered whether being a Hollywood mom had been worth it and whether her husband would have loved her more had she been a housewife.

The couple separated for five years before their divorce. They saw other people during the time but Angie always kept pictures of Bacharach in her home because after all, he was her daughter’s father.

Her daughter was also a musician and played the drums. They had a rocky relationship which was strained especially when Nikki was 14 years old and had joined a religious cult.

Nikki was also not very feminine and said she would “never be as feminine” as her mother. Still, the women had a beautiful bond and Angie always wanted her daughter to be close to her.

When she was working on “Pearl,” she took Nikki with her to Hawaii. However, when the two of them were in the water, they met with a tide that led them to collide with a coral reef. Angie was convinced they would not survive. Luckily she was able to keep her daughter safe and above water.

Since Nikki was born premature she had certain health issues like ones with her eyesight. She was also on the autism spectrum. At times Nikki would get physical with her mother but Angie always understood her daughter’s frustrations.

As Nikki’s health demanded more attention, Angie stepped away from her career to focus on her daughter. She said about it, “It wasn’t a sacrifice. Would I have been out working? Yes, I would have been doing plays in Chicago or something like that, if I hadn’t had a daughter who needed me. But I did. I didn’t have the gift of free time.”

When her daughter took her own life, Angie sought support from her friends. This included Gregory Peck’s widow, Veronique, who also knew Tony Kushner. The actress found solace in one his his plays which had themes about losing someone in it.

Burt Bacharach also passed away earlier this year on February 8, 2023, at the age of 94 years old. While he had other children, Nikki had been Angie’s only child. The actress separated and divorced the famed composer for various reasons which also included his infidelity, he confessed to doing so in his autobiography as well.

Angie would often talk about how the composer did not love her the way people conventionally love others. She said, ” he had no respect for me.” When she was asked whether she loved him, she replied with a yes.

The actress now lives a reclusive but peaceful life in her own home in Beverly Hills. She is seldom seen outside which is understandable given her advanced age. Her last movie was in 2004 titled “Elvis Has Left The Building” and in 2009 she appeared on television “Mending Fences.”

But she has been on camera after that. She appeared on a PBS documentary about Sammy Davis, Jr., “I’ve Gotta Be Me.” When she was 79 years old, the actress said she was ‘lucky.’ She said, “I came along at the right time for so many great things. I met some great stars and stayed friends with many and lovers with some. It was a fantastic life, really. And it still is.”

When it came to reprising her career as an actress, she said she did not want to have to do “grandmother parts.” But she did consider doing ‘one-woman shows’ or theater instead.

At 92 years old, she says making films and working on television can be a task. She said she was still thinking about good looks, “Even at my age, I am still into the glamour-girl syndrome: You know, she has great legs, but she can’t act.”

In 2008, she sat next to Clint Eastwood who joked to the actress that at his age makeup artists had stopped fussing over him. The actress however revealed that it had not been that way for her. She revealed that she had gotten so used to hair and make-up that she felt naked without them.

She later said of it, “You end up obsessed with your looks. If an elevator doesn’t have a mirror in it, I’m finished. I don’t care who you are, when you get to be past 50, it all changes.”

The actress has been known to be close-lipped and reveal nothing about her personal life. She said that is probably why publishers are not interested in a tell-all from her. She said, “But I won’t do warts-and-all, you know? That’s not my nature. If I get up the energy one day, maybe I’ll go out and do a one-woman show.”

Alexandra Becket, a writer for LA Magazine revealed she often was a cat-sitter for Angie and that in a neighborhood filled with big Hollywood names, Angie was “the sweetest neighbor I could ask for.”

The actress lives alone reportedly. Hopefully, she is keeping well and does not feel lonely all by herself!

Makes me laugh, all these modern proclamations of “finally strong women”. Angie was kicking butt way before any of these so-called “firsts”, and she did it with grace and beauty and a take no prisoners attitude.

There were a lot of strong women in film and tv growing up, and they did it in a time where they were the pioneers. Everyone just seems to have forgotten.

Share this piece with other fans of Angie Dickinson so they can know what their beloved actress is up to these days as well.

Wynonna Judd is responding to concerned fans after many took to the comments Wednesday night to express their worry over the country singer’s health.

Judd, 59, and Jelly Roll, 38, opened the CMA Awards together performing Jelly Roll’s “Need a Favor.” During the opener, Judd was seen clutching Jelly Roll.

The scene prompted many fans to comment their concern for Judd’s health.

Following the show, Judd uploaded a video on her social media accounts addressing her fans’ concerns.

“Don’t read the comments” they say… she captioned her video.

In the short clip, Judd admits she read the comments before stating “I’m just gonna come clean with y’all.”

“I was so freaking nervous.”

When Jelly Roll asked Judd to open the show with him, she was ecstatic, but it didn’t stop her nerves from getting the best of her.

“I got out there and I was so nervous that I just held on for dear life. And that’s the bottom line.”

After her performance she spoke with ET explaining her decision to accept Jelly Roll’s request to join him on stage.

“I have to show up for people like people did me,” Judd told ET. “That’s my job now is to pass it on because people have been so generous with me and now it’s my turn to be generous with people like Jelly Roll and that’s what I’m doing.”

On January 11, 2021, Ben & Jerry’s issued a powerful statement regarding the events of January 6, 2021. They asserted that what transpired was not a mere protest, but a riot aimed at upholding white supremacy. According to the statement, “It was allowed to happen. The mostly white insurrectionists roamed freely and without consequence through the heart of our democracy.”

Ben & Jerry’s emphasized that the riot’s permissiveness was inherently linked to the race of the participants. They highlighted the stark contrast in how the rioters were treated compared to how Black, Brown, or Indigenous people would have been treated in a similar scenario. The company argued that the leniency shown to the insurrectionists was due to their whiteness.

The statement underscored a troubling double standard in the enforcement of law and order, pointing out the systemic racism that continues to plague the United States. Ben & Jerry’s called for a critical examination of this disparity, urging people to confront and address the underlying racial injustices. They stressed the importance of recognizing and challenging the privileges that allowed such an event to occur with apparent impunity for those involved.

Halloween’s star, Jamie Lee Curtis, made a stunning appearance on the red carpet in a plunging navy blue dress that beautifully showcased her figure. The dress featured a flattering ruffle just below her bust, adding to her elegant look. To complete her outfit, she wore black heeled shoes that perfectly complemented her ensemble.

The film “Everything Everywhere” was among the nominees, alongside other notable titles such as “Avatar: The Path of Water,” “The Banshee of Inisherina,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Elvis,” “Fabelmans,” and “Knives Out: Bulb made of glass.”

Since its release on March 25, 2022, the film has achieved significant success, grossing $107.4 million worldwide. Its earnings are expected to continue growing as it receives more awards and accolades.

“Bringing Miranda Priestly to life in the West End is an absolute dream come true. Gird your loins, folks,” Williams said in a statement about her new role, per Variety.

The new musical features an original score by music legend Elton John, with lyrics penned by Shaina Taub and a book written by Kate Wetherhead. Jerry Mitchell, a three-time Tony Award-winning choreographer, provides direction and choreography on the new production.
The 2006 movie starred Anne Hathaway as lead character Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who is thrown for a loop when she lands a job as a personal assistant to Priestly, who Meryl Streep played in the film. Streep, 74, received an Academy Award nomination for her role as the fictional magazine editor; and the movie became the 12th-highest grossing film of 2006.

Williams previously played a similar role as another fashion magazine editor, Wilhelmina Slater, in the ABC series Ugly Betty from 2006 to 2010. The actress told Entertainment Weekly all the way back in 2009 that playing the character was her “favorite role of a lifetime, and I truly enjoy coming to work every day.”

Additional casting for the upcoming musical has yet to be announced. The Devil Wears Prada musical will hold an exclusively preview engagement at Theatre Royal Plymouth in Plymouth, U.K., this July prior to its opening on the West End, as the production previously announced. The show opens at London’s Dominion Theatre in October.

Fans of Jodie Foster raised the alarm about a year and a half ago when it appeared that their favorite was giving up. The star’s body was suddenly indistinct, and her face was riddled with wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Foster’s ability to turn back time is a closely guarded secret. But one thing is certain: she appears more beautiful and younger now on a regular walk than she did on the red carpet a few years ago.

The actress was filmed by paparazzi while shopping with her son in New York City. And 58-year-old Jodie cannot deny that fact: some performers, even at 30, appear older.I would like to grow old on film, like Katharine Hepburn,” Foster once admitted. “I enjoy my age. Not for any money will I go back to my twenties. This age is full of apprehension and fear. And that’s something not worth living with.

Women in their fifties are definitely more interesting than those in their twenties. We’ve lived longer, we’re more confident. It no longer makes sense to pretend you’re crestfallen and in the know, to worry about whether you’re cool. Being who you are is a huge advantage.”

Julia Roberts, the famous actress from movies like “Pretty Woman,” decided to become a stay-at-home mom when she had her kids. Even though she’s a big Hollywood star, she’s shown that she can be a great mom too.

She took a break from acting to take care of her family. Her family includes her husband, Henry Daniel Moder, and their twins, Hazel and Phinneas Moder, along with their son, Henry Moder. Julia really enjoys her new job of being a full-time mom.

Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder were at a reception for the 2022 Kennedy Center honorees in December 2022 at the White House.

Julia shares that being a mom brings her a lot of joy and satisfaction. She takes care of everything at home. Every day, she cooks breakfast for her family, cleans the kitchen, and handles many other tasks. By the time she finishes all her responsibilities, it’s already time to start preparing lunch. When dinner comes around, she feels like she’s had a busy and fulfilling day. Julia mentions:

“I don’t have the luxury of sitting around anymore. I probably had a lot of free time before I had children, but I don’t remember what I did with it, and I didn’t appreciate it.”

She also gets to spend a lot of time with her family and said with a smile, “My life at home gives me absolute joy.” Although she loves caring for her family, life at home can sometimes become slightly tedious. Julia explained:

“And, as with anybody who’s a mom or a wife, it just becomes part of your everyday routine. Some days it’s super fun and some days it’s a chore.”

However, she hasn’t retired from acting altogether. It just takes more convincing to get her to take on a role. Julia admitted that whenever she finds a project with a fascinating plot or a compelling character, she is still tempted to do it.

The actress from “Eat, Pray, Love,” Julia Roberts, got so involved in her new life that she didn’t even tell her kids about her job. For a while, they didn’t know she was a very famous Hollywood star.

Even though she’s a big celebrity, Julia kept it a secret from her kids. They started figuring it out eventually, but at first, they thought she didn’t have a job because she spent a lot of time cooking and taking care of the house.

Julia shared a bit about her approach to preparing meals and where her inspiration and love for cooking came from. She learned a lot from her mother, who preferred to make everything herself using ingredients from her garden. Although she doesn’t go quite as far, she still has a few tricks up her sleeve.

Since her children have grown older, they’ve realized more and more that their mother is a successful actress.

The actress said that cooking for her family is a “privilege,” an “honor,” and a “luxury” she didn’t realize before. Her family has made her life even more fulfilling, and even her co-stars appreciate her role as a mom. She shared a funny story about how her co-star, Julianne Nicholson, sewed new sleeping bags for her daughter Hazel’s dolls.

Even though she’s famous, Julia likes being a regular mom at home. She loves having family meals so they can spend time together regularly. Julia enjoys having breakfast and dinner with her children.

“I usually have breakfast and dinner with my kids every day. I think it really punctuates, you know, starting things together and sort of processing and winding it down together.”

As her kids got older, they began to understand that their mom is a famous actress. Now, when she goes to film movies in different places, she brings them along. Julia mentioned that having her kids with her helps her stay grounded and down-to-earth.

“There’s something very humbling when you have kids, and you come home from some event and you have on this big dress and heels and diamonds, and it’s like, ‘Can I have a snack?’ And you go, ‘Yeah.’”

The actress shared that she and her husband, Daniel, decided to raise their kids like any other regular family. Julia thinks it’s important to teach her kids important life skills, such as doing their own laundry, making their beds, and taking care of themselves.

The Hollywood couple celebrated 35 years of wedded bliss on April 30.

To mark the occasion, Wilson shared a photo on social media of Hanks presenting her with a cake.

“35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything,” she wrote.

The couple first met in 1981 while on the set of Bosom Buddies. Their relationship began as friends as Hanks was married to Samantha Lewes, his college sweetheart, at the time.

“I will say that right from the get-go, I thought there was something crazy great about her. I met her and I thought ‘Oh Lord’… there’s something cookin’ here,” the 66-year-old actor told “Sooo Many White Guys” podcast.

After two years of dating Hanks and Wilson married in 1988. The couple have two children together, Chester “Chet” Hanks and Truman Theodore Hanks.

According to Hanks and Wilson there is no secret for everlasting love.

“I wish there was a secret, you know. We just like each other. You start there… I still can’t believe my wife goes out with me. If we were in high school and I was just funny, I’d never have the courage to talk to her…” Hanks told People in 2018.

“They say it must be hard work. No, it’s not. Every now and again you know, you gotta get over some stuff but life is one damn thing after another and it’s actually more pleasant to be able to go home with someone you like to spend time with in order to get with it.”

Congratulations to Tom and Rita! Thirty-five years is a major milestone, especially in Hollywood.
