Lisa Kudrow remembers her Friends TV mom, Teri Garr, following news of her death.
Garr died at the age of 79 due to multiple sclerosis, which was first diagnosed in 1999. Kudrow shared the small screen with Garr in multiple episodes of the NBC sitcom and paid tribute to her late co-star.

Phoebe later discovers that the woman is her biological mother.

Keri Russell is down to revisit Felicity Porter’s life if a Felicity reboot were ever to materialize.

Russell said she is still in touch with her Felicity co-stars Scott Speedman and Amanda Foreman, “who played my crazy goth roommate.”

The Office created a major sensation in the mockumentary sitcom genre in 2005. The public was still reeling from the conclusion of Friends, so it gave them the much-needed alternative for their laughter-filled evenings. Based on the British series of the same name, it starred Steve Carell as the lead Michael Scott. After its conclusion in 2013, fans were excited about the possibility of a reunion or a reboot.

Keri Russell, the star of “The Diplomat,” is on her fourth glass of wine; and Debora Cahn, the show’s creator, is on her third. There are cold french fries strewn across the table, empty glasses everywhere, and there’s ice — so much ice.
It’s only a few weeks before the second season of “The Diplomat” drops on Netflix on Halloween — five days before the presidential election — and Russell and Cahn, sitting in an old Upper West Side French bistro on a late afternoon, suddenly remember the time they met Kamala Harris at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner last April, four months before Harris became the Democratic presidential candidate.
Russell, 48, starts to squeal thinking about that night, her hands fluttering to her face in comic excitement, and Cahn says, “Somebody sent a photo of us and Biden and Jill, and I just love that we have it, but I was like,...

Jennifer Garner has been one of the most underappreciated artists in Hollywood, one whose works continue to rake in millions of dollars in box office earnings and break records all across the board.
But even if not all of Garner’s cinematic escapades include wielding twin sai blades and fighting a telepathic mutant in a place located at the end of time, the actress has made some remarkable contributions to film and television in recent years, including Love, Simon and The Adam Project.

In hindsight, a lot of projects from the early Aughts seem to have her present in a significant role, but none of it would have been possible without a little push from J.J. Abrams and an international espionage series known as Alias.

[This story contains spoilers from the first two episodes of Teacup.]
Scott Speedman may have endeared himself to audiences in the late ’90s as heartthrob Ben Covington, the object of Felicity Porter’s (Keri Russell) desires, on the WB college drama series Felicity. But for over two decades, the British-born Canadian actor has carved out a niche for himself in the horror and thriller genres, playing increasingly complicated and tortured men in the Underworld film franchise, The Strangers, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future and the forthcoming Cellar Door. And in recent years, Speedman, with his buzzy roles in Grey’s Anatomy and You, has reentered the cultural zeitgeist.
Now, Teacup marks Speedman’s latest foray into horror. Adapted from Robert R. McCammon’s novel Stinger by Ian McCulloch (Yellowstone, Chicago Fire) and executive produced by James Wan, the eerie eight-part series, which premiered with its first two episodes Thursday on Peacock, follows a disparate group of people in...

When you're a performer on a major sitcom, you're probably saddled with some rules and restrictions about what you can and cannot do while you're not filming. Apparently, the creator and showrunner of "The Big Bang Theory" — sitcom legend Chuck Lorre — insisted that nobody make major changes to their hair during the run of the series for continuity purposes, which makes sense; all of the main characters established their individual looks pretty early on in the series, so it stands to reason that they'd all look roughly the same. Still, in precisely one episode, Parsons and his co-stars Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, and Kunal Nayyar — who play Leonard Hofstadter, Howard Wolowitz, and Raj Koothrappali, in that order — were allowed to sport beards.
In the season 3 premiere "The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation," Leonard, Howard, Raj, and Sheldon return from an expedition to the North Pole where they were conducting research on magnetics,...

Disney’s long-expected move to fold ABC Signature into 20th Television brings to an end the media conglom’s in-house TV studio, which started off as Touchstone Television a decade before Disney bought ABC, subsequently being renamed ABC Studios and more recently ABC Signature.
Launched in 1985, Touchstone TV’s first major hit was Golden Girls, which ran on NBC for seven seasons. Other successful series from that era include Blossom, also for NBC, and Home Improvement, Ellen and Boy Meets World for ABC.
In the first years after ABC became part of Disney, Touchstone Television continued to sell to all networks — which is how 20th Television operated for its entire run at Fox — with shows such as Felicity and Popular for the WB and The PJs for Fox/WB.
The studio gradually shifted its attention to its own network, supplying it with series such as Once And Again, My Wife And Kids,...

Ben Affleck’s longest relationship was with his first wife Jennifer Garner which lasted for nearly a decade. The former couple announced their split in 2015 and went separate ways, but they still respected each other. During an interview, Garner shared her honest opinion on what life with Affleck was like. Interestingly, she might have borrowed a line from Affleck’s best friend’s movie to describe him.

Garner’s poetic description might have come from Matt Damon’s film The Talented Mr. Ripley. Notably, the line in the film was delivered by Affleck’s ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.

In the season 8 premiere of "The Big Bang Theory," Kaley Cuoco's character Penny debuted a shocking haircut ... and apparently, the actor sort of regretted it in the first place.
For the previous seven seasons, Penny was known for her flowing blonde locks — and as Cuoco revealed in Jessica Radloff's oral history "'The Big Bang Theory:' The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" (via Us Weekly), she didn't necessarily tell anyone about the big chop. I"I just f**king cut my hair off and didn't tell anyone," Cuoco said. "I did it for an independent film called 'Burning Bodhi,' and basically showed up to our 'Big Bang' wrap party with short hair."
Not only did Cuoco need to cut her hair for "Burning Bodhi," a 2015 film that co-starred Sasha Pieterse ("Pretty Little Liars") and Meghann Fahy ("The White Lotus), but she was...

Few movies have such broad "you had to be there" appeal as "Cloverfield." Released in 2008 after a much-hyped marketing campaign featuring title-free promos and cryptic web pages, the movie wowed (and to some extent divided) audiences with a prime bit of misdirection: it was a good old-fashioned kaiju film disguised as a found footage thriller disguised as a shaky cam home video-style story.
"Cloverfield" was made during a time when J.J. Abrams was known as the mystery-crafting maestro behind "Lost," not a polarizing part of the "Star Wars" universe. Director Matt Reeves, who would go on to make the emo-Robert-Pattinson-led blockbuster "The Batman," was then known for the college-set soap "Felicity." And while the film's cast members, including Lizzy Caplan and T.J. Miller, are recognizable today, they were mostly unknown at the time of its release, lending the project a "Blair Witch"-style verisimilitude.

Keri Russell claims there was a double standard between male and female child actors during her time on The All New Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990s.
The Diplomat star recently stopped by the Dinner’s on Me podcast, where host Jesse Tyler Ferguson asked her if there was a cutoff age for young performers to be dropped from the Mmc reboot, which ran from 1989 to 1996.
“It’s usually like girls who look like they were sexually active,” she alleged. “Which, probably, I was one of the first. They’re like, ‘She’s out! She is out! That one is gone.'”
Russell also revealed that she was, in fact, sexually active with one of her male Mmc co-stars, who ultimately stayed on the program for several years after she was let go. She didn’t name the person, but she was previously romantically linked to fellow Mouseketeer Tony Lucca in the ’90s,...

Jennifer Garner, 52, wasn’t exactly eager to work with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, 51, when they were married. The Family Switch star explained her reasoning in a 2010 interview, saying that although she thought the Oscar winner was “brilliant,” she didn’t want to change their relationship by being on set together.
Garner and Affleck worked on 3 films together before they were married
Although married for 13 years—Garner and Affleck separated in 2015 before officially divorcing in 2018—the couple never made an onscreen appearance when they were together.
Before saying their “I do’s” in Turks and Caicos on June 29, 2005, they’d worked together a few times. Their first appearance together happened in 2001’s Pearl Harbor. Affleck played a combat pilot, and Garner, a nurse.
Then they both starred in 2003’s Daredevil, reuniting for a spin-off with 2005’s Elektra. (Affleck’s appearance in the film didn’t make the final cut.)

Jamie Kellner, the charismatic and crafty executive who expanded the broadcast television landscape by helping hatch the Fox and WB networks in 1987 and 1995, respectively, had died. He was 77.
Kellner died Friday at his Montecito, California, home after a battle with cancer, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
While still riding high atop The WB, Kellner in March 2001 was given additional responsibilities overseeing TBS, TNT and CNN as chairman and CEO of Time Warner sister company Turner Broadcasting System. But he was at that for just two years, before he retired and served out the remainder of his contract back in Burbank.
Meanwhile, Kellner was chairman of the station ownership group Acme Communications — named after the company in the Road Runner cartoons at Warner Bros. — from its launch in 1997 until it was liquidated in 2016. He was the rare network TV exec who also had a hand in the station business; Acme’s first nine stations,...

Jamie Kellner, who made his name as the only exec ever to create two broadcast networks — Fox and The WB (both of which also achieved profitability under his watch), died Friday at his home in Montecito, Calif. He was 77. Kellner had a tremendous impact on the television business in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, and was considered an entrepreneur at heart as he built Fox and The WB, and then independently created the Acme Communications stations group, and for a time ran Turner Broadcasting as chairman and CEO (succeeding Ted Turner).
Kellner’s impact includes landmark programming like “The Simpsons,” “Married… With Children,” “Cops,” “In Living Color” and “21 Jump Street” at Fox; the long run of pop cultural touchstones at the WB like “Dawson’s Creek,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Gilmore Girls,” “7th Heaven” and “Felicity”; and he even worked with Lorne Michaels in the first syndication sale of...

Erich Anderson, the familiar character actor who made his film debut in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, played Keri Russell’s father on Felicity and recurred on shows from Steven Bochco, has died. He was 67.
Anderson died Saturday after a “brutal struggle with cancer,” his wife of 21 years, actress Saxon Trainor, and her brother-in-law, Michael O’Malley, announced in an Instagram post.
In Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Anderson portrayed Rob Dier, who while attempting to avenge his sister’s death meets his brutal end at the hands of Jason in a basement.
He appeared as Dr. Edward Porter, father of Russell’s Felicity Porter, in the 1998 pilot for Felicity, then returned for eight more episodes of the WB network show during its four-season run through 2002.

Erich Anderson, who was sometimes also credited as E. Erich Anderson, racked up over 100 credits during a screen acting career that stretched from 1983 into the 2020s, but he may be best known for playing the role of Rob in the 1984 slasher classic Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. A character out for revenge, Rob looked like he had a shot at being able to take down hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees for good… but when Rob finally caught up with Jason, things did not go well for him at all. Among Friday the 13th fans, Rob has become a favorite due to the fact that he seems so cool and capable at first, but then whiffs his shot at vengeance in a major way. Sadly, the actor who brought Rob to the screen is no longer with us. Erich Anderson’s wife Saxon Trainor has confirmed through social media that he...

Jennifer Garner is opening up about her “emotional” audition for Felicity, which led to her crying in the bathroom afterward.
The 13 Going on 30 star, who made a guest appearance as Hannah Bibb, the ex-girlfriend of Noel Crane (Scott Foley), in the J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves-created series, recently locked back at her audition for what “must have been the breakup scene.”
“I remember the audition. I remember going into the bathroom after because the scene was so emotional and I needed to cry,” she said on The Ringer’s Dear Felicity podcast. “I needed to hide in the bathroom stall and finish the cry that I started in the audition because it was such a powerful scene.”
Garner claimed Abrams made her come back later to re-audition for the role, to which podcast host and former Felicity star Greg Grunberg quipped, “That makes sense to me, because you’re not very good.

A murder mystery was the perfect opportunity for some fun, high emotions, and drama, and it was abundantly clear that the cast and crew had a blast filming Good Trouble Season 5 Episode 15.
The hour wasn't all silliness and pointless fodder, as some notable developments pushed the storylines further.
Nevertheless, that doesn't prevent "It's My Party, I Can Die if I Want To" from being the epitome of an "acquired taste."
The difficulty of a filler installment like this is that we now know it's the final season, and with every bit of anxiety about how things will wrap up and if they do so correctly, an entire installment devoted to frivolous fun can feel downright wasteful.
It was a classic Coterie event with some relationship woes and progress, wholly unique concepts that make you wish you were invited to such an affair,...

Released by a train crash, a mysterious creature rampages through a small Ohio town. The military is on its trail, the local authorities are overwhelmed, and a group of local kids… who planned to spend their summer making a zombie movie… take it upon themselves to figure out what’s going on. That’s the set-up for director J.J. Abrams’ 2011 film Super 8 (watch it Here) – and it’s time for it to be Revisited.
Like many aspiring filmmakers, J.J. Abrams started making movies at a young age, casting his friends and shooting on Super 8 film. As a teenager, he was able to participate in a young filmmakers’ festival in Los Angeles. Newspaper coverage of that festival caught the attention of one of Abrams’ heroes, another director who had gotten started making Super 8 movies when he was young: Steven Spielberg. Although Abrams and Spielberg didn’t meet at that time,...

The fictional Roy family may not have been filled with winners, but “Succession” continues to produce awards season champions. Sarah Snook won the 2024 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, making it the second consecutive victory for the Australian actor who played Shiv Roy. Snook also won in 2022, for the series’ third season, before going out on top for the final season in 2024.
Snook triumphed over stiff competition. Also nominated were Helen Mirren, who’s racked up 17 nominations(!) and won three times; Emma Stone, an eight-time nominee and 2017 winner for “La La Land”; Keri Russell, who snagged her fourth nomination this year after winning for “Felicity” in 1999; Imelda Staunton, a three-time nominee, and Bella Ramsey, who earned her first nomination this year for “The Last of Us.”

Logan (Brian Cox) once told his kids, “I have you beat” on “Succession,” and the show could basically say the same to its Golden Globe competition. The HBO hit was already expected to dominate prior to nominations, but its record-breaking nine bids for its fourth and final season just underscored how it is truly the one to beat on the drama side — and perhaps nothing can beat it.
The show feels locked and loaded in Best Drama Series at 82/25 odds. It has more than 1,600 predictions to win. No other nominee — “The Last of Us,” “The Crown,” “The Morning Show,” “The Diplomat” and “1923” — has even hit 100 (not a typo) predictions to triumph. “Succession” would tie “The X-Files” and “Mad Men” with a record three drama series trophies, but unlike those two shows, it will never have suffered a loss in the category, which is definitely something to brag about. It...

J.J. Abrams touts Warren Beatty’s Bonnie and Clyde and Shampoo for must-see viewing as part of the January 2024 Turner Classic Movies lineup in his own TCM Picks video that dropped on Tuesday.
“They could not be more different,” Abrams says of Arthur Penn’s 1967 crime spree drama Bonnie and Clyde, which also starred Faye Dunaway, and Hal Ashby’s Oscar-winning dramedy Shampoo. Bonnie and Clyde “portrayed violence in a way that had not typically been seen in American cinema and really ushered in a new age of bold graphic storytelling in a way that you really hadn’t seen before,” Abrams says in the video.
Having made a name for himself in Hollywood with television and popular series like Felicity, Alias and Lost, you can see the grounds for Abrams’ eventual success making action tentpole movies, given his love for classic Hollywood pics.
Shampoo becomes a time capsule movie for Abrams,...

Fox canceled press appearances for John Schneider the morning after his emotional exit from The Masked Singer over a since-deleted X (formerly Twitter) post about President Joe Biden, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Fox had no comment in the wake of the Dukes of Hazzard star calling on the social media post for the public executions of Biden and his son Hunter Biden. “Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be public hung [sic). Your son too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider,” the actor and singer wrote in response to a post by Biden about former President Donald Trump that was captured by the West Coast editor of Vulture.
Representatives for Schneider did not respond to requests for comment from THR, which followed an emotional exit from Wednesday’s season 10 finale of The Masked Singer where the former teen idol was unmasked and praised by the reality TV series judges for finishing second in the competition.

Keri Russell is pretty recognizable. From the college drama series "Felicity" to FX's spy thriller "The Americans," not to mention a small but key role in "Mission: Impossible III," general audiences know her face. However, fans may not have recognized her in "Star Wars: Episode IX -- The Rise of Skywalker," where she always wore a mask. Though we see her eyes for a bit, that's all we get. If you recall, her character, Zorii Bliss, encountered our Resistance heroes on the planet Kijimi, while they were looking for Babu Frik (Shirley Henderson) to get information from inside C-3Po (Anthony Daniels). Zorii has a past with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), both romantically and as a fellow spice runner. Though she initially threatens them at blaster point, Zorii ends up helping the Resistance, even turning up with Babu Frik in the battle of Exegol.
