There are many famous rumors about stars and the roles they supposedly almost landed — but this time, the rumor is real. Before her 1967 breakthrough in Valley of the Dolls or her 1968 marriage to director Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate was a young actress, just beginning to make her way in Hollywood. At only 20, the former beauty queen began exploring her acting options — and got incredibly close to landing the role of Billie Jo Bradley on the CBS sitcom Petticoat Junction. Source link
“The credit must go to Mrs. Hall, as it nearly always should.” A sentence Siegfried Farnon uttered at the Drovers before toasting “to the remarkable Mrs. Hall”, the woman he has lived with for nearly a decade at that point. The entire village joins in without hesitation, knowing fully well what a gem the lady running Skeldale House is. And while the characters within the show are all very much aware that Mrs. Hall is the pillar of the community and the backbone of Skeldale, episode descriptions and promotional blurbs rarely reflect the true depth of her importance to both the…
“It’s like he’s used up so many of his nine lives like a cat,” Max Thieriot says of his Fire Country character, Bode Leone, who’s going into Season 4 about to suffer a major loss. The trailer has already revealed that his father, Vince (Billy Burke), dies in the fire that caused a building to collapse on him as well as Bode’s mother (Diane Farr) and grandfather (Jeff Fahey). “There’s so many different states of grief, and each person, those stages look a little different, especially for somebody who is a recovering addict,” Thieriot tells TV Insider. “The things that he’s…

Wilson will return as the sole host of the 59th Annual CMA Awards. “I grew up watching the CMA Awards like it was the Super Bowl, so to be hosting for a second year is a true honor,” the singer shared in a September press release statement. “I’m humbled that CMA has trusted me with this role, and I can’t wait to love on this genre that has given me so much.” In addition to hosting, Wilson finds…
Happy’s Place is making way for another major Reba reunion in Season 2, as JoAnna Garcia Swisher officially joins the show for an upcoming guest-starring role. According to NBC, Swisher will play a character named Kenzie, a local Knoxville-based influencer who has been hired to represent Happy’s Place for their upcoming social media marketing campaign. The catch? Bar co-owner, Bobbie (Reba McEntire), isn’t exactly thrilled about the new recruit. As Reba fans will recall, Swisher played McEntire’s onscreen daughter Cheyenne Hart across six seasons of the former WB-turned-CW series, appearing in over 100 episodes between 2001 and 2007. Swisher’s appearance is just the…
There is not a time in my life when I don’t remember The Flintstones being on television. Just hearing the name “Fred Flintstone” conjures up many wonderful memories of the first animated TV program that was part of a network’s primetime lineup. But did you know that if co-creator Bill Hanna had been given his choice, Fred would’ve had a different last name? Source link
For Owen Hanson, the thrill of victory was nothing compared to pulling a fast one on a federal agent. As a 19-year-old USC student freshly cut from the school’s volleyball team, the Redondo Beach native “was so determined to get back on that volleyball team,” he made the risky move to visit Mexico to score himself performance-enhancing drugs. “As soon as I strapped them to my leg — and other places in my body that we won’t talk about — I crossed that [line],” he says. “And I’ll tell you what, that rush, when I lied to US customs when…
How can people be so heartless? Of course, I’m referring to ruthless billionaires desperate to stay alive. However, much of High Potential Season 2 Episode 3 was about people having their hearts in the right place or with semi-decent intentions, yet still hurting others. Such is life and the human experience, am I right? (Disney/Jessica Perez) So, That Really Is It for the Game Maker, Huh? I cannot be the only one who thought we’d get a bit more follow-up on the Game Maker, or maybe it’s simply that I enjoyed the compelling nature of this character and his and…
