IKR? She looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. If she becomes ill as a result of this pressure, the media will have themselves only to blame. Agree. There's an entire section of this country that longs for the return of Jim Crow, while the rest is doing everything they can to lurch ahead. If survival means leaving behind the South and the rest of the MAGAts, then that's what we'll have to do.

According to Lucci, her father, Victor, suffered a heart attack in his forties, so there was a genetic element involved.

I just wish people would become more selective in who to condemn. At the rate we're going, it won't be long before we start deleting people just for liking "Song of the South."

Well, thank God she's still alive and that the doctors got to her in time.

Film Awards Thread
I'm not shocked. Elizabeth Taylor won an Academy Award for a movie ("Butterfield 8") that everyone and his cousin agreed was a hot, steaming pile of garbage. Of course, her almost dying arguably had a lot to do with it.

I think part of Fairfax's problem is that he's living in an age when, thanks to social media and the like, people demand answers and they demand them yesterday. There's literally zero time for public figures (such as Fairfax) to stop, take a breath, gather one's thoughts, consult a brain trust or two, and then decide the best course of action. The longer you go w/out reacting to the allegations, it seems, the more guilty-as-hell that you look. That's how you end up making the kind of WTF, possibly career-ending statements that Fairfax has made. It's just like when a celebrity dies and people get their feelings hurt because so-and-so didn't respond to the news the SECOND it broke. Chill the [!@#$%^&*] out, people. Not everyone in this world has the luxury of sitting on their Twitter or Instagram feed. Believe it or not, but some folks actually have lives.

But seriously. I agree that the moment to make that sort of confession was an odd one. However, like you, @marceline, I am not gonna hate on someone like Liam Neeson, just because, in the heat of anger, he thought about killing him some Black folks. There's THINKING about doing something heinous, and then there's actually following through. Neeson realized he was about to jump off a very steep cliff, so he pulled back, so I'm good. I've seen more than one individual try and draw comparisons between Ralph Northam and Brett Kavanaugh, and that needs to stop as well. For one thing, parading around in blackface (while doing the Moonwalk) is not the same thing as sexually assaulting women while [!@#$%^&*]-faced. Blackface is not a crime -- it SHOULD be, but it's not. (Just as white people even THINKING about doing the Moonwalk should be shot on sight grounds for immediate incarceration ("Don't even THINK about collecting your fitty bucks, just take yo' ass directly to jail!") but that's not. But I digress.) OTOH, sexual assault and perjury ARE crimes; and those who perpetrate those crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Yep. I don't feel TOO sorry for these individuals, because, well, karma and all that. But, you're right: they'd still vote for that man even now, so why bother even listening to their fake outrage?

I think the "trainwreck factor" alone will be enough for me to watch for the first time since before the first Obama administration.

IA. It's one thing to be...concerned over a person's past behavior. However, they can't see that all this is doing is playing right into the GOP's hands. If neither becomes governor, then the next in line is the maid. You know, like on FALCON CREST? I'm sure when Edwards heard his name, too, he looked up from making another illegitimate child with a blonde bimbo and asked, "How da fug did I become part of this!?".

I can't read the article. Nevertheless, it's sad to hear about Carmen Duncan. I hope she knew how much a lot of AW fans appreciated her work as Iris. May she RIP.

They did. But, dammit, we need '80s sitcoms now to remind us how to be a decent human being? We're really at that point?

When you dig up clips from "Gimme a Break!" or any '80s sitcom, you know we have plunged into the depths.
