I read about that.

Sounds about average for 2021 LOL

We loved that movie so much as kids! Whenever the cousins on my mom's side got together, we would watch it. RIP to her - I didn't realize she'd been in so many other things, too.

Thanks for sharing!

Beside myself.

I just woke up and this was the first thing I saw on the news. I am literally in tears.

Absolutely I am stunned.

This is so sad. Thank god her child survived somehow.

You would think people would know this but...smh.

He really is trying to kill people. 

Look, they're idiots, but they're also adults.  If they want to ingest disinfectants, that's their business.  Just don't ask me to feel sorry for them when it goes horribly wrong.  ;) 

Sophia: Blanche made me do it!

Dorothy: What....you don't have a mind of your own? If Gladys Goldfine told you to drink a whole bottle of Kaopectate, would you?

Sophia: Who blabbed?

Wow!  At least Jessica Savitch's hair stayed in place!

lol

Is it wrong that I heard a laugh track while listening to the clip of Jessica Savitch? That aside, Jessica did at least still look neat while being a mess. Pirro was broadcasting from home which explains a lot.

Jackée Harry recently tweeted this clip from The Women of Brewster Place and it exemplifies how versatile Kelly was in her talent, she had such easy chemistry with Lonette McKee. Everyone in that miniseries was excellent, yes, including Robin Givens.

Rest In Power to the phenomenal Paula Kelly.

I’m honored to have witnessed first-hand her revolutionary depiction of black, lesbian love in #TheWomenOfBrewsterPlace. pic.twitter.com/wMsAFs9Uhv

And one from Kelly's one-time co-star, Lonette McKee.

RIP Dear Paula Kelly. A beautiful person & one of the greatest actors I’ve ever worked with. I love you Paula.

The Women of Brewster Place was one of the first movies I ever saw as a child and every performance was striking because they embodied the character's perfectly. When she goes from laughing to breaking down she transitioned so effortlessly. It's not easy to play a character that is tough and vulnerable, but Paula did it.

You see, it's b.s. like this that keeps me from becoming a TP fan.  (Okay, you say you don't need other writers in the room.  That's your joint, so roll with it.  But, blaming them for the drop in ratings, and not your own inability to keep an audience interested in your crap?  If I ever wanted to collaborate with that man, I certainly would change my mind after reading this article.)

At least he acknowledges the main argument is giving other folks opportunity in the writers room and being a showrunner. I'm guessing he's afraid of someone being better than he is.

Either that, @KMan101, or as @ChitHappens suggests, Tyler is "too damn cheap" to hire other writers.  (Plus, if he were to hire others to write his shows, he'd have to pay according to WGA guidelines, and we know how Tyler feels about unions.)

Merry Christmas. And to those who, for whatever reason, may be having a hard time this year, I wish you Peace and Tranquility. 

Merry Christmas 

I think it's some kind of B.S.  No one can be that stupid.......or can they?

Studio Executive: "What's the problem?  Julia could put on some black makeup!  NO ONE WILL NOTICE!"

Wow. She killed it. Loved the "burned champagne" reference too!

 She looked amazing. 

That's great. I'm so happy for you.

Isn't that also the man who was sued by Porsha's ex-husband?

Yes it is.

He's a great example of why you shouldn't humor the mentally ill.
