Noah Wyle might be everyone's favorite TV doctor these days thanks to his starring role on *The Pitt*, but we'll always associate him with a different medical drama first: *ER*. The NBC series ran from 1994 to 2009, following the doctors, nurses, and medical staff working under immense pressure at Chicago's Cook County General Hospital.

Acclaimed for its realistic approach and complex performances, *ER* helped launch the careers of Wyle, George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, and many of their costars who came and went over the course of 15 seasons. Ahead, we're looking at where the original cast of *ER *is now.

George Clooney (Doug Ross)

A decade after his stint as Ace on the '80s sitcom *E/R*, George Clooney landed his career-defining role as Dr. Doug Ross on *ER*, earning two Emmy nominations. Though he exited after five seasons to focus on film — making brief returns in seasons 6 and 15 — Clooney has stayed connected with his former costars beyond the hectic hallways of County General.

"I guess it was the friendship I have with all of them and that I continue to have," the actor said in a 2022 interview on *The Drew Barrymore Show*. "They're really good friends. And so I feel that [*ER*] was a job of a lifetime. And it changed my career."

He then made the transition from TV to movies, starring in hits such as the *Ocean's *trilogy (2001–2007) and *Gravity* (2013), in addition to stepping behind the camera for films including *Confessions of a Dangerous Mind* (2002) and *Good Night, and Good Luck* (2005) — the latter of which was adapted for the Broadway stage in 2025 (with Clooney making his Broadway debut as both actor and playwright).

An Academy Award nominee across several categories, he has taken home two Oscars — Best Supporting Actor for *Syriana* (2005) and Best Picture for *Argo* (2012). He also received the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2015, the Honorary César in 2017, and the Kennedy Center Honor in 2022.

Since 2014, Clooney has been married to human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, with whom he shares twins Ella and Alexander.

Anthony Edwards (Mark Greene)

With acting credits for projects like *Fast Times at Ridgemont High* (1982) and *Top Gun* (1986) already to his name, Anthony Edwards joined the *ER* cast as Dr. Mark Greene, staying for eight seasons and winning a Golden Globe in 1998. Despite the show's serious plot points, Edwards fondly remembers that the cast kept things light.

"That's the best memory of *ER* is that we laughed so much," Edwards said during a 2017 interview on PeopleTV's *Couch Surfing**. *"We were always laughing. I think because the subject material was so heavy that we were always looking for ways to laugh."

Since leaving *ER*, the actor has gone from solving medical mysteries to addressing conspiracies on *Zero Hour* and carrying out justice as Judge Stanley Weisberg in *Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders* (on which he reunited with his former *ER* costar, Mariska Hargitay, who plays Cynthia Hooper). Edwards' other TV credits include *Designated Survivor*, *Inventing Anna*, *WeCrashed*, and *Tales of the Walking Dead*.

From 1994 to 2015, Edwards was married to makeup artist Jeanine Lobell, with whom he shares three daughters and a son. He eloped in 2021 with actress and longtime friend, Mare Winningham.

Julianna Margulies (Carol Hathaway)

Julianna Margulies' troubled and lovelorn Carol Hathaway was originally supposed to die in the pilot episode, but instead became a mainstay for six seasons and a guest star for one season 15 episode. However, when it comes to revisiting the NBC medical drama, Margulies believes it's best to just let things be.

"I don't think you can reboot it," she said during the *ER* cast's virtual reunion in 2021. "You can't capture lightning in a bottle twice. I think you have to leave what was so beautiful and move on. Because it just feels like it would cheapen it for me."

After her *ER* stint, Margulies traded in her scrubs for power suits in pursuit of no-nonsense characters, appearing on shows like *The Sopranos* and *Canterbury's Law* before landing her most prominent role as Alicia Florrick on *The Good Wife* — for which she earned two Emmys (in addition to the Emmy she won for *ER*'s first season). Other post-*ER* credits have included *The Hot Zone, Billions*, and *The Morning Show.*

Since 2007, Margulies has been married to attorney Keith Lieberthal. Together, they have a son named Kenneth.

Noah Wyle (John Carter)

Noah Wyle joined the *ER* cast as third-year medical student John Carter. But even before his 11-season run (with appearances in seasons 12 and 15), he knew the medical drama would be an instant hit.

"They had George [Clooney], Sherry [Stringfield], Tony [Anthony Edwards], Eriq [La Salle], and I...and we're in the wings of [New York City's] Avery Fisher Hall. And then [they] just started showing these clips from the pilot," Wyle told the *Still Here Hollywood* podcast in June 2024. "Then the place went crazy, like clapping, cheering, stomping, we all got this rush. And I just remember Tony turned [to] all of us and going, 'Here we go.'"

After his *ER *gig, Wyle returned to primetime TV with parts on *Falling Skies*, *The Librarians*, and in *The Red Line*. The actor got back in scrubs for another medical drama, *The Pitt*, for which he earned widespread acclaim, including his first Emmys and a Golden Globe.

Wyle has been married to actress Sara Wells since 2014, and together they have a daughter named Frances. He also shares two children — son Owen and daughter Auden — with his ex-wife, makeup artist Tracy Warbin.

Sherry Stringfield (Susan Lewis)

Sherry Stringfield was a primary lead on *ER* as the skilled yet docile Dr. Susan Lewis...that is until she left in the middle of season 3 — despite having a five-season contract — to focus on her personal life. (She returned for seasons 8–12 and the series finale.)

"People can get certain good things out of fame, but until it killed [Princess Diana], nobody ever talked about how bad it can be," Stringfield told EW in 1997 about her decision to leave *ER *the year before. "It was a little scary.... It's like when you walk away from a really wonderful job like that, you start messing with everyone's priorities."

Since her tenure on *ER*, Stringfield has appeared in several TV movies, including *Hornet's Nest *(2012), *The Confession *(2013), and *Runaway *(2014). She also returned to the realm of dramatic series with roles on *Under the Dome* and *Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders*, the latter of which remains her most recent project.

In 2006, Stringfield divorced businessman Paul Goldstein after seven years of marriage. Together, they share two children.

Eriq La Salle (Peter Benton)

Eriq La Salle's Peter Benton started as a second-year resident and rose to attending physician by the time he departed in season 8 (though he returned for two episodes in season 15). While his character had a reputation for being less than polite, La Salle recalls his off-screen camaraderie with the cast.

"Everyone was just really cool," he told PEOPLE in March 2024. "We bonded immediately."

Post-*ER*, La Salle reunited with his former costar Sherry Stringfield on *Under the Dome *in 2015* *and Gloria Reuben in the 2022 TV movie *A Second Chance at Love*. He also took part on the short-lived CBS series *A Gifted Man* and in the *X-Men* movie *Logan* (2017)*,* on top of directing episodes of shows such as *The Night Shift*, *Chicago P.D*., *Law & Order*, and *FBI*. He's also made a name for himself as a thriller author, penning the critically acclaimed *Martyr Maker* novel series.**

William H. Macy (Dr. David Morgenstern)

For 31 episodes of *ER*, William H. Macy plays County General's chief of surgery, David Morgenstern. But his time working with *ER* executive producer John Wells is what stands out in his memory.

"John has a wonderful intolerance for bulls--- behavior," he told EW in December 2020. "He enforces that in such a lovely and genuine way. He never loses his temper — he's like a Buddha.... From the second they get out of their car, the actors are ready."

Post-*ER*, Macy kept busy with lesser-known films (2009's *The Maiden Heist *and 2010's *Dirty Girl*) before landing a major role on the Showtime hit *Shameless*, which earned him six Emmy nominations and three Screen Actors Guild awards, from 2011 to 2021. Over the years, Macy has accrued a handful of other onscreen credits, including *Room* (2015), *The Dropout*, *The Conners*, *Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes* (2024), and *Train Dreams* (2025).

Since 1997, Macy has been married to actress Felicity Huffman, with whom he shares two daughters, Sophia and Georgia.

Ming-Na Wen (Jing-Mei "Deb" Chen)

Coming off the heels of her starring role in *The Joy Luck Club* (1993), Ming-Na Wen guest-starred in season 1 of *ER* as Jing-Mei Chen. She later became a regular from seasons 6 to 11, and is grateful for her time on the medical drama.

"I got to work with George Clooney, come on, and Noah Wyle, Julianna Margulies, and just such amazing talents. Anthony Edwards. The list goes on and on," Wen told Yahoo! Entertainment in June 2023. "Great directors, great writers. I had no idea about coming into Hollywood and doing a TV show."

Since her time on *ER*, Wen spent the better part of a decade exploring a niche in family-friendly entertainment. Her voice has been featured in numerous animated productions, such as *Mulan* (1998), *Phineas and Ferb*, *Adventure Time*, and *LEGO Marvel's Avengers*. She also nabbed parts on *Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*, Disney+'s *The Mandalorian* and *The Book of Boba Fett, *and HBO Max's *Velma* and *Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai*.

Wen has two children with her husband, Eric Michael Zee. Her first pregnancy was even incorporated into the storyline of *ER*'s first season.

Sam Anderson (Jack Kayson)

After gaining prominence as Mr. Gorpley on *Perfect Strangers*, Principal DeWitt on *Growing Pains*, and Principal in *Forrest Gump* (1994), Sam Anderson had a 20-episode gig on ER as Jack Kayson, County General Hospital's chief of cardiology.

Anderson has made frequent appearances across the small screen since his *ER* days, including on *Lost* and *Justified*. He currently stars opposite Kathy Bates on CBS' legal drama *Matlock*. Anderson's film credits include *Water for Elephants* (2011), *Ouija: Origin of Evil* (2016), and *Where the Crawdads Sing* (2022).

In 1985, the veteran actor married teacher Barbara Anderson, with whom he shares twins.

CCH Pounder (Angela Hicks)

CCH Pounder's time on *ER* as Angela Hicks was short but memorable, earning an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Since departing the show in 1997, Pounder has worked steadily on the small screen and played extended roles on *The Shield* (for which she earned another Emmy nomination), *Sons of Anarchy*, and *NCIS: New Orleans*. She also portrayed the Na'vi spiritual leader Mo'at in James Cameron's blockbuster *Avatar* (2009), and reprises her role in the sequels.

There's nothing better than the taste of sweet, sweet revenge, and Kate got a whole lot in the latest episode of House of Villains. She's the captain of this ship—at least for this episode.

When we last left off, Plane Jane had been tossed through the trap door in a 5-1 vote, and the alliance of bros seemed unstoppable. They've had four episodes straight of running things in the lair, nominating all of the fabulous women and gays. Drop to your knees and thank the reality TV gods that things shifted course in House of Villains Season 3 Episode 5, "Loose Lips Sink Swan Boats."

What happened in House of Villains Season 3 Episode 5?

After narrowly escaping the Hit List, Kate set out on a mission to get payback, and it couldn't have arrived at a better time. Tyson and his bestie, Sandoval, were ready to split away from Paul, Johnny, and Ashley, which gave Kate the perfect opportunity to hit back. Luckily for her, she managed to clench a bit of power just in the nick of time. The tides have officially turned.

There's a power struggle happening in the House of Villains lair, and Tyson is right in the middle of it. He kicked off Season 3 as the first Supervillain, and immediately aligned himself with Sandoval, Paul, and Johnny. Ashley hopped on the bandwagon with them and has become attached at the hip with Johnny ever since. That left all of the women, Plane Jane included, on the sidelines, ready to get picked off one by one.

After Plane's elimination, the numbers shifted. Paul, Johnny, and Ashley, who all happen to be roommates, gained an uneven sense of power. With that in mind, Tyson put on his Survivor hat, and he realized that it was time to switch tribes. He and Sandoval were ready to jump ship and team up with Kate, and maybe New York, depending on how she's feeling that day.

Saboteur to Supervillain

To help break up this Ashley/Paul/Johnny alliance, Tyson and Kate devised a plan to make sure that those three didn't win any power over the house. Kate said she would sabotage the Battle Royale Challenge, just like she did on The Traitors. Cue the footage of her literally throwing money away and pissing off the entire castle.

Hilariously, Kate's plan to sabotage the challenge did not go as expected. She actually won the challenge and became the Supervillain of the Week.

The challenge involved a messy game of telephone, and all of the players were kind of terrible at it. The fact that Johnny was constricted by his itsy bitsy teeny weenie shorts, Ashley was slowly succumbing to a mystery illness, and New York 100% did not take the challenge seriously, made it that much easier for Kate to sail to victory.

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and Kate just finally got some of it. She and Tyson couldn't be more thrilled. Johnny, on the other hand? He's well aware that he should be scared.

If you didn't watch Kate on Below Deck for all of those years, this episode of HOV might be the one to make you go crack open the Bravo vault. She was giving main character energy throughout this whole episode, and every bit of it was perfect.

After winning Supervillain of the Week, she took Drita and Sandoval out for a ride around some swan-shaped pedal boats. They brainstormed who she should put on the Hit List, and Sandoval made it extremely clear that he's going to be loyal to Tyson until the very end. This bromance is solid.

When they got back to the lair, Kate decided to transform the Supervillain's suite into an "office." She lowered the lights and made everyone come in and pitch their case for why they shouldn't go on the Hit List. It was bitchy. It was theatrical. Kate is in her element on this show.

Not only did the villains get to pitch their sides to Kate, she also left a suggestion box at the door. Anyone could drop their Hit List recommendation, but she definitely didn't need help.

Who did Kate put on the Hit List in House of Villains Season 3 Episode 5?

Kate nominated Johnny, Ashley, and Paul for the Hit List, taking a direct strike at the house's strongest alliance. Things are going exactly as Tyson planned.

All strategy aside, these nominations were kind of a no-brainer for Kate. Just last week, Johnny put her up on the Hit List. Paul signed off on it, and Ashley is just…Ashley.

Supposedly, they were also the three people whose names came up the most in Kate's suggestion box. Paul took credit for that one, claiming to have written down both Johnny and Ashley's names. We're not sure what the strategy is there. Maybe they're just committed to being a chaos agent.

As per the tradition of House of Villains, the three villains on the Hit List got to throw out some jabs at the Supervillain of the Week, as if that's going to win them any favors in the grand scheme of things. Ashley's comments about Below Deck, or "Below the Deck" as Johnny would say, were the shadiest.

"I'm very opening and nice to everyone, and you judge people because you worked on a rich boat one time," Ashley said. "I think she forgets she doesn't own the boats she works on."

She continued, "Loosen your guard up around the house and have a good time. Try to smile once in a while. It will literally loosen your asshole a little bit.

Kate, completely unbothered, replied like she was Andy Cohen at a Real Housewives reunion.

"We have to move on," Kate said.

House of Villains continues next Thursday at 9/8c on Peacock.

Southern Hospitality Season 4 is starting with a bang! Literally. But then again, when things hit rock bottom, that's when they can be rebuilt again, right? It looks that way for our Republic crew. Maddi is learning to put her anger aside and move forward. Molly is back in the fold. And Joe is learning that he can't take several months off and expect a promotion. Here's everything that happened in Southern Hospitality Season 4, Episode 2: "Folly Follies."

What Happened on Southern Hospitality Season 4 Episode 2?

Photo Credit: Stephanie Diani/Casey Mathewson/Bravo

The episode picks up right where the last one left off. TJ and Maddi are screaming at each other. Maddi shares that this beef started four years ago when she spilled the tea about Brad getting a back-alley BJ. He got mad and made up a rumor about her beau cheating.

Maddi wanted Brad and TJ to reach out to her and make amends. They thought the beef was over. But it obviously wasn't, hence the Weiner party meltdown.

Eventually, Brad and Maddi moved aside to talk in private. Brad thought they were going to let it go. But Maddi said she was mad Brad didn't check on her at the hotel but had time to hang out outside Emmy's hotel room.

Brad shared that he couldn't help but hear Emmy through the walls. Then Brad revealed Emmy took it a step too far and said she "felt unsafe" around Brad. Yikes. Even Maddi grimaced at that. That's why Brad is so mad.

Maddi shared her lingering resentment about blowing up a relationship with a man she really loved. Brad looked appropriately chastised. The pair eventually agreed to put this behind them and work on rebuilding trust.

The next day, everyone is getting over their hangovers. Lake and Michols meet up and Lake shared that she and Molly resolved their beef, although she was pretty drunk at the time. "Drunken words are sober thoughts," Lake said. So she and Molly are cool.

Not everyone is cool, though. TJ hopped on a call to talk with Mia to share what happened at the event. He told her that Maddi knocked the cutout of her down and stepped on it. Mia said Maddi could feel free to hit her in person next time.

For her part, Maddi invited her sobriety sponsor, Julia, over to discuss what happened and ask for her unbiased advice.

Maddi opens up to Julia about her frustration over everything. She was especially hurt that TJ said they were never friends during the fight. This hurt her so much that she made a (wait for it) PowerPoint presentation about their friendship to prove him wrong.

In the end, Maddi admits that what happened impacted her whole life and her relationship with Joe. Julia (bless her) does the Lord's work and tells Maddi she has a right to feel upset, but she needs to decide what she wants moving forward. And definitely not show TJ the PowerPoint.

As TJ and Maddi think about their fight, Justin thinks about life choices. He admits he's just trying to have fun now. His last relationship imploded because of a threesome gone wrong. Oh dear.

TJ visits and he and Justin shared a bottle of wine poured from his new "dick-canter." Justin admitted that Jordyn has been sleeping over almost every night. He enjoys "clapping cheeks," but he's also looking for more.

Justin revealed that Jordyn accused him of being gay. To be fair, she did see him make out with both Michols and TJ. Justin admitted to exclusively dating women but can also appreciate a good-looking man.

We definitely learned more about Justin. He's pretty open-minded, he shaves his balls, and according to TJ, he's an excellent kisser. Oh, and he has a crush on Mia too!

And it's back to work! The gang heads back to Republic. Michols tried to keep the morale up and reminded everyone to (at least) act excited and go out and do their best.

It's another busy night at the bar. Justin is making plans to hook up with Jordyn again and Brad is inviting Maddi to his and Julia's one-year anniversary celebration. They've got a house on Folly Beach and want to bring the whole gang over. Well, almost everyone.

Emmy overhears the invitation (she's literally right behind them). "What about me?" she asks. Everyone is moving forward, but no one is apologizing to her for last season. She's feeling especially salty considering she helped Brad and Julia get together.

Meanwhile, Michols is trying to get Joe to do more than the bare minimum. Joe admits that he is bored and wants to open his own bar. He added that Leva gave TJ the chance to grow his own business, and now he wants the same.

Welcome back, Mia!

Photo Credit: Elizaveta Braginskaya/Bravo

The next day, TJ and Molly meet Mia. She's back from Hawaii and boy, does she have some news. She spills that she and Troy broke up the night before.

Molly and TJ look appropriately shocked. Everyone thought that Mia and Troy were going to get engaged in Hawaii. But instead, the couple decided to part ways.

It turns out, Mia is done with the long-distance. She was hoping Troy would move to Charleston. But Troy said he couldn't give her a timeline for the move. So, after two years with no forward movement, Mia is calling it.

On the heels of the split, it isn't long before TJ brings up that Justin had a crush on Mia. She admits he's hot, and TJ spills that he hit on Molly too. It looks like Justin is essentially trying to bang everyone.

Joe and Leva have a serious discussion about his future

Photo Credit: Stephanie Diani/Bravo

The next day, Joe requests a sit-down with Leva. He is serious about wanting his own spot. He starts off by telling her that he wants to grow and be a business partner.

Leva admitted that previously, she could see herself doing something with Joe. But instead of committing to work, he took time off to follow Maddi on tour. Joe explained that Maddi was in a bad place and really needed him. Leva didn't discount that, but she stood firm that he sacrificed work and just stopped showing up.

Leva has wanted to give Joe equity in a new business for years, but he messed up. She told him that he's not irreplaceable and that Justin was getting the job done in his absence. If Joe wants to get back to the place he was at before, he needs to recommit and prove her wrong.

Brad and Julia's Folly anniversary theme: Squash the Beef

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

Which brings us to Folly Beach and Brad and Julia's one-year anniversary. Everyone is heading to the house, including Emmy! Brad invited her at the last minute on Julia's advice. He thinks it's time to hash out what happened. But only if she apologizes for her "unsafe" comments.

So the gang arrives. It's all going well until Maddi attempts to give Mia a hug. Mia is not having it and says, "You're not going to step on me this time?"

The two argue heatedly. Mia continues to say she wasn't in the group chat. She repeats it over and over. Only for her to realize that yes, she was in the group chat after all. Oops!

In the end, Maddi and Mia decide to squash the beef. They laughed and said that should be the theme of the event.

Things are looking good … until the inevitable sit-down with Emmy. It's all going down in the next episode, including another epic panic attack and walkout.

Southern Hospitality airs Thursday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

One week after actress Daryl Hannah questioned "How Can 'Love Story' Get Away With This?" in an op-ed for The New York Times, FX's "Love Story" released its seventh episode (Thursdays at 9 ET/PT and streaming on Hulu).

Joining John F. Kennedy Jr.'s nephew Jack Schlossberg in calling out the inaccuracies of the limited series, Hannah said the small screen version of her, played by Ernest Hemingway's great-granddaughter Dree Hemingway, "is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John."

Though the series is based on Elizabeth Beller's book "Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy," "Love Story" took some liberties in dramatizing the work. We're here to analyze the latest episode to help you decipher fact from fiction.

FX's "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette" (Thursdays, 9 ET/PT on FX and streaming on Hulu) depicts the romance of the pair, who tragically died in a plane crash in 1999. Let's take a closer look at the actors and the real-life people they're portraying.

Did John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette have matching tattoos?

The episode opens with John (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn (Sarah Pidgeon) returning from their honeymoon in Turkey, which the bride relished.

"Not sick of me after those two weeks?" John asks.

"Yes," Carolyn answers sarcastically, "those matching tattoos we got was my way of telling you I need a little space."

Per Beller's book, the real-life newlyweds mentioned ink to Emil Gabron, an acquaintance they met on their honeymoon.

"Gabron found them both witty and 'very sweet,'" Beller writes. "They exchanged contacts, and when Gabron brought his wife to New York later in the year, Carolyn and John invited them to their loft. 'They confessed that before leaving Istanbul, they went to a tattoo artist who plastered their respective behinds with shamrocks.'"

Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon star in a dramatized telling of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's "Love Story."What did Caroline Kennedy think of Drew Barrymore's Marilyn Monroe cover?

While arguing with his older sister Caroline Kennedy (Grace Gummer) and her husband Edwin Schlossberg (Ben Shenkman), John accuses them of wanting to capitalize on President Kennedy's legacy."What do you call this?" Caroline asks, holding a copy of the September 1996 issue of John's magazine, "George," featuring Drew Barrymore dressed as Marilyn Monroe, when she sang "Happy Birthday" to John F. Kennedy. (It's widely believed that Monroe and Kennedy had an affair.) Text on the cover read, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" in honor of Bill Clinton's 50th.

"It's tongue-in-cheek," John fires back at Caroline in "Love Story." "Everyone else gets to poke fun at the family lore, why shouldn't we?"

"Because it isn't funny, John," Caroline explains. "In fact, it's tone-deaf and incredibly embarrassing."

Kennedy Jr.'s former executive assistant RoseMarie Terenzio says in the book she co-authored, "JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography," that Caroline Kennedy did not approve of the recreation.

"Caroline didn't like that he did that cover—not only that, she was pissed he never gave her a heads-up," Terenzio said in the oral history. "John said, 'Caroline's upset.…' I told him I thought she was right to be upset because it directly affected her. I said, "It's her family, too." And he just looked at me like, You got a point."

John F. Kennedy, Jr. and older sister, Caroline Kennedy, pose for a photograph on March 8, 1999 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

Kennedy Jr. addressed the cover during a September 1996 appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

"Bill Clinton turned 50 two days after we went on sale," Kennedy Jr. explained of the then-President's milestone. "And as an editor, that is a colossal opportunity that you can't let pass."

"I think my family is used to all manner of controversy," he added. "So, I think in the grand scheme of things, this probably didn't register too high on the Richter scale."

Barrymore shared in "JFK Jr." the entrepreneur "was coming at it with playfulness, and he felt that I was playful. I got that he wasn't out to hurt anyone, and that's what make me feel really inclined to do it."

Did John F. Kennedy Jr. get into a physical fight with George co-founder Michael J. Berman?

In the series, Michael J. Berman (Michael Nathanson) grows increasingly frustrated with Carolyn's presence as well as John's aversion to leveraging his popularity to save their struggling magazine.

In the heat of an argument John rips up a contract for a "George" TV project and throws it in Michael's face.

"Do you have any idea what life is like propping you up 24/7?" Michael asks. "I mean, you can't do anything on your own. I've had to be your mommy and your f------ daddy."

John tells Michael to shut up and pushes him.

"You're nothing without your name, you're a sympathy case with a pretty smile," Michael says, shoving John back.

John decks him and the two briefly spar before John kicks Michael out of his office.

John F. Kennedy Jr. unveils his fresh political magazine, George, on Sept. 7, 1995, in New York City.

Per "Once Upon a Time," the two had a "final blowout" in 1997.

"John burst into Michael's office and shouted, 'We are not doing any of this,' making a move to grab the paperwork related to a possible TV deal on the horizon that could have potentially generated desperately needed revenue," Beller writes. "'I'll be the editor, and you can be the publisher. That's the way it's going to be.'

"The two men tussled over the folder, and, in the process, John ripped Michael's shirt cuff," Beller continues. "One Hachette alumnus recalled being told that at one point in the fight, John took a pair of scissors, raised them over Michael's head, and had to be held back by staffers."

Berman complained that Kennedy Jr.'s personal life negatively impacted his work performance, according to Beller. Kennedy Jr. accused Berman of being jealous of how well-liked Bessette was in the office. At one point, "John stormed out of Michael's office and into his own, locking the door.

"Michael went maniacal and chased after John, screaming, 'Open the f------ door! Open this door!'

"He tried to pick the lock with a letter opener he had grabbed from a nearby desk, to no avail… John sent an apology note with a new shirt a couple of days later, but Michael never spoke to John again."

1 / 0See John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's whirlwind romance

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette became tabloid fodder when the publisher son of President John F. Kennedy, described as the "closest thing to American royalty," and the Calvin Klein publicist, "a star in her own right," met in 1992 while at his fitting for the clothing brand. In recent years, Bessette's fashion has found a new following – particularly on TikTok – as a new generation fawns over her simple but chic wardrobe. After they were married, Bessette was known as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The end of the Kennedys' love story shocked the world when they died in a plane crash alongside Bessette-Kennedy's sister, Lauren Bessette. The former first son was piloting the aircraft when it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha's Vineyard in 1999. Now, director Ryan Murphy is releasing the first installment of his "Love Story" anthology based on the whirlwind romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. See their relationship in photos, beginning here at the U.S. Customs House in New York City on May 19, 1999, for the Newman's Own/George Awards.

How did the incessant media attention affect Carolyn Bessette?

Through several instances in Episode 7, viewers can see how hounding paparazzi shrunk Carolyn's world. Photographers swarmed the offices of Ralph Lauren after Carolyn's job interview, on the street they called her names, and stories about her mental health flooded the tabloids.

"I impose a circus on anyone who comes within 15 feet of me," a lost Carolyn confides in her sister Lauren Bessette (Sydney Lemmon) in "Love Story." "Where am I supposed to go? I just feel like, for as long as I can remember I have known exactly who I am, and what I want, and now I just feel, like, paralyzed. I'm terrified of making the wrong move or drawing any more attention to myself."

Beller acknowledges in her book that the "'stuff in the press' was wearing on Carolyn. After a year of intense media scrutiny, she found it impossible to continue on in her previous profession, impossible to contribute in any meaningful and overt way to her husband's magazine—to which she had already contributed much—and impossible to leave her home without being physically chased. Feeling cornered, Carolyn went into a spiral of worry and anguish.

"'She felt like a caged animal,' said (friend) MJ Bettenhausen. 'The situation devolved, and she was afraid to leave the house.'"

Kylie Jenner never misses the chance to get the internet talking, and this time she has done it by debuting a bleached brow look. The beauty mogul graces the cover of Vanity Fair's Spring 2026 issue. Photographed by Mert Alas, she delivered her take on the bleached brow and bra-as-top trends.

Kylie Jenner takes the internet by storm with shocking bleached brow look for Vanity Fair

Take a look at Kylie Jenner with her bleached brows:

Jenner paired a structured black bra with Hermès khaki pants cinched by a black Balenciaga belt at the waist. She completed the look with inky knee-high riding boots, another piece from Hermès. Together, the boots and the pants helped her lean into the horse girl aesthetic.

The most striking part of her look, however, was her makeup featuring the bleached brows. Makeup artist Ariel Tejada used a blurred matte lip, saturated blush, and mascara to achieve that bleached look. All products were from Kylie Cosmetics. She sat on a bed with her knees spread as she lit a cigarette while staring at the camera.
