In the 1970s, Eve Plumb and Maureen McCormick played sisters for five seasons on The Brady Bunch. After the classic ABC series ended in 1974, the actresses also reunited for multiple TV specials, movies, and spinoffs. But years before they were Brady sisters, the two former child stars appeared together in a TV commercial for Mattel’s Chatty Cathy doll.

In her book Happiness Included, Plumb, 68, recalled crossing paths with her future sitcom sibling for the 1966 commercial shoot. Noting that early in her career she did commercials for “Mattel's talking dolls Chatty Cathy, Chatty Baby and Charmin’ Chatty,” Plumb wrote, “In one of their doll commercials, my future Brady Bunchsister Maureen McCormick and I are at an outdoor tea party with our dolls.”

McCormick, who played eldest sister Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch, was the clear star of the commercial. She was front and center in the ad as Plumb was seen smiling and playing with her doll in a quick shot.

Both actresses have the commercial spot listed on their IMDb pages, with Plumb credited as Girl #3 and McCormick as Girl #1.

After Cathy

After shooting the iconic 1966 ad, Plumb would go on to peddle Talkin’ Barbie’s new British best friend, Stacey, but McCormick scored a bigger role as the official voice of the Chatty Cathy doll, according to The Seattle Times.

In a 2026 interview with the Pop Culture Preservation Society, Plumb revealed that acting just became a part of her “life” after a neighbor who was a talent agent suggested she give it a try at age six.

“It’s so funny because I think that when you look back at your childhood, you're like, people ask you what was it like. It was, you're like, well, it was like what was happening. It was just my life,” she said. “So, that was just the part of our life where I would go to auditions, and I would get the job. It was difficult if I didn't ever get a job. That was upsetting because it seemed to me as like, well, this is what happens. I go in, I get the job. I never had a feeling of I beat somebody out for it. It's just that this is what happens.”

Plumb also confirmed that while she appeared in a lot of doll commercials, she didn’t usually get to take home the toys. “No…. I think they gave me the Baby Secret, but I don't remember having it and loving it,” she shared. “I had a Raggedy Ann doll. I had my Barbies. I had Troll Dolls.”

In her book, Plumb also reflected on a 1968 commercial she did for Glad sandwich bags. In the spot, she frantically runs up to a woman cast as her mother and says, “I hate school! My sandwiches are so stale, nobody will trade with me!”

Plumb recalled that she “winced” when she rewatched the ad recently. “I was usually cast as the obedient, courteous, and kind little girl," she wrote in Happiness Included. "Not this time. I’m flame-throwing at my distressed mother, like Rhoda in The Bad Seed."

Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal watched as the Los Angeles Lakers tried to close out the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night and book their ticket to the second round. Instead, they let a series that was firmly in their grasp slip further away.

Playing without Kevin Durant for the third straight game, the Rockets won a crucial Game 5 99-93 at Crypto.com Arena. They held LeBron James and the Lakers to their lowest offensive output of the series, with Houston’s three-point shooting and defense proving to be the difference.

The Rockets drilled 14 three-pointers, twice as many as Los Angeles, with Jabari Smith Jr. finishing with 22 points and seven rebounds to lead the Rockets.

James led all scorers with 25 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a Houston team that has now won two straight games to extend a series that once looked over.

The collapse has been a hard pill to swallow for Los Angeles fans and nobody made that clearer than O’Neal. The longtime Lakers legend did not hold back on “Inside the NBA” after the final buzzer, expressing his disappointment in his former team.

“I hate watching the Lakers sometimes cause at the end of the game they try to play hero ball... I’m glad the Rockets beat them. We know what needs to be done to win the championship. LeBron knows that. I’m surprised that they didn't come out with that effort and intensity. And I’m super disappointed in the Lakers tonight.”

The Lakers still lead the series 3-2, but the momentum has shifted entirely to Houston. Game 6 heads back to Toyota Center in Houston on Friday, and Durant’s potential return looms in the background. With Luka Doncic reportedly ruled out for the series due to a hamstring injury, the Lakers cannot afford to drop the ball on the road.

ROME (AP) — Alex Zanardi, the Italian auto racing champion-turned-Paralympic gold medalist whose career was marked by two life-altering accidents, has died. He was 59.

Zanardi’s family announced his death on Saturday, saying that he passed away on Friday night.

“Alex died peacefully, surrounded by the affection of those closest to him,” the family said in a statement without providing a cause of death.

In 2020, Zanardi was seriously injured in a handbike accident after crashing into an oncoming truck during a relay event in Tuscany. Zanardi suffered serious facial and cranial trauma in the crash and was put in a medically induced coma.

Nearly 20 years earlier, Zanardi lost both of his legs in an auto racing crash.

"Italy loses a great champion and an extraordinary man, capable of turning every challenge of life into a lesson in courage, strength, and dignity,” Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said on X.

“Alex Zanardi knew how to bounce back every time, facing even the toughest challenges with determination, clarity, and a strength of spirit that was truly exceptional,” Meloni added. “With his sporting achievements, with his example, and with his humanity, he gave all of us much more than a victory: he gave hope, pride, and the strength to never give up. On behalf of myself and the government, I extend my heartfelt thoughts and the sincerest closeness to his family and to all those who loved him. Thank you for everything, Alex.”

Zanardi won two championships in CART — 1997 and 1998 — in the United States before a brief move to Formula One. He returned to America and was racing in Germany in a CART event in 2001 when both of his legs were severed in a horrific accident the weekend after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. CART raced only because the series was already in Germany at the time of the attacks and could not return to the U.S.

During his recovery, Zanardi designed his own prosthetics — he joked that he made himself taller — and learned to walk again. He then turned his attention to hand cycling and developed into one of the most accomplished athletes in the world. He won four gold medals and two silvers at the 2012 and 2016 Paralympics, competed in the New York City Marathon and set an Ironman record.

His spirit, will, and determination gave the beloved Italian a larger than life persona. When he returned to the U.S. in 2019 to compete for BMW at the Rolex 24 of Daytona without his prosthetics, he was the most revered driver in a field that included F1 champion Fernando Alonso.

Drivers from around the world sought out Zanardi for photographs and were transfixed as he told elaborate tales of his adventures in the nearly two decades since many had seen him.

The International Automobile Federation (FIA) said on X that Zanardi’s racing career and “journey from life-changing accident to Paralympics gold medalist made him one of sport’s most admired competitors and an enduring symbol of courage and determination.”

Noted for his infectious smile and fanciful storytelling, Zanardi was praised by Pope Francis after his 2020 crash as an example of strength amid adversity. Francis penned a handwritten letter of encouragement assuring Zanardi and his family of his prayers.

Zanardi’s family added that it “thanks everyone who is sharing their support right now and asks for respect during this time of mourning.”

Funeral details were still to be announced, the family said.

The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) called for a minute of silence to be observed at all sports events in Italy over the weekend to honor Zanardi.

“We’ve lost a great champion and a great man, who was capable of bouncing back multiple times when faced with life’s difficulties,” CONI president Luciano Buonfiglio said.

- *Stumble* was a comedy, a mockumentary about junior college cheerleading, that starred Jenn Lyon and featured Kristin Chenoweth in a recurring role.

Bad news for fans of NBC shows *Brilliant Minds* and *Stumble*.

Both series have been canceled, * *has learned.

*Brilliant Minds*, which stars Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf, a neurologist struggling with his mental health and face blindness, and loosely based on the work of late neurologist Oliver Sacks, debuted in 2024.

The second season premiered in September before the network removed it from its schedule after the Olympics. Its remaining episodes will air during the summer, beginning May 27.

The medical drama also stars Tamberla Perry and Ashleigh LaThrop.

Freshman comedy *Stumble*, a mockumentary about the world of junior college cheerleading, finished its first and only season in March.

Jenn Lyon, Taran Killam, Anissa Borrego, Jarrett Austin Brown, and Arianna Davis starred. Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth had a recurring role.

The series were among the network's least watched of the season, according to *The Hollywood Reporter*, which noted that *Brilliant Minds* averaged little more than 3 million viewers, while *Stumble* pulled in 2.24 million.

The outlet noted that three series — *The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins*, *Law & Order*, and *The Hunting Party* — are waiting to learn their fate.

As for *Brilliant Minds*, Quinto spoke about his character with EW in September 2024.

"Wolf has not got any ulterior darkness to him," the actor said. "He is iconoclastic, he's rebellious, he sometimes acts before he thinks — but at his core, he is a good person. It's nice to be playing a character who maybe colors outside the lines a little bit, but who is always doing it in service of people and improving their lives."

Quinto, who came out as gay in 2011, said he appreciated that his character's sexuality wasn't the focus of the story.

"It's a real honor for me to be playing an openly gay character on a primetime network television series where the character's identity is a comfortable aspect of who the character is," Quinto noted. "It also is the source of a lot of personal conflict for the character. His relationship to his sexuality, to intimacy, and to his family is complicated. All things that are very relatable and understandable from a human experience."

- Ving Rhames collapsed at a Los Angeles restaurant where he was dining with his family Wednesday.

- The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to ** that it responded to a 66-year-old man's medical emergency about 1:40 p.m.

- The *Mission: Impossible* star's rep told EW that he made 'a humorous remark' afterward.

Ving Rhames is recovering after collapsing at a Los Angeles restaurant where he was dining with his family, a rep for the actor has confirmed.

"I spoke to Mr. Rhames via phone shorty after and since then and he sounded like everyday Ving," the rep told **. "He made a humorous remark."

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department told EW that paramedics responded to the call of "a 66-year-old male for an unconfirmed medical condition." They "assessed, treated, and transported" him for medical care.

'Facts of Life' star Mindy Cohn reveals cancer has returned nearly a decade since last battle

Mindy Cohn poses in the IMDb portrait studio at the 2026 GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton on March 05, 2026 in Beverly Hills, California.

TMZ was the first to report the news. In a statement to the outlet, a rep for the actor said that it was thought the star became "overheated," and that he was being observed at the hospital.

Rhames, who is 66, is best known for playing the role of Luther in the *Mission: Impossible* franchise, alongside Tom Cruise, and for his work in movies such as *Pulp Fiction*, *Dawn of the Dead*, and *Piranha 3D*. He won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy in 1998, for his portrayal of Don King in HBO's movie *Don King: Only in America*.

In 2026, Rhames hosted the 10-episode show *History’s Deadliest With Ving Rhames* that debuted in January on History, exploring phenomena such as engineering disasters and tyrants.

He explained what had brought him into his current line of work in an August 2002 interview with BlackFilm.com.

"Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people, I did not choose acting; acting chose me," Rhames said. "I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football. In about ninth grade an English teacher told me I had a talent to act. He said I should audition for a performing arts high school, so I did on a whim. I got accepted. Then I got accepted at the Juilliard School and by then I was serious about it."

Rhames said then that he felt acting was his destiny.

"I think I am doing what God put me on this planet to do," he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — CJ Abrams hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Washington Nationals beat the Mets 5-4 Thursday, dealing reeling New York its 17th loss in 20 games.

James Wood robbed Juan Soto of a home run with a leaping catch at the right-field wall in the first inning and Washington dropped the Mets to a major league-worst 10-21. New York's .323 winning percentage through April is its fourth-lowest behind starts in 1962 (3-13), 1964 (2-10) and 1981 (4-10).

New York, which opened with the season with the major leagues' highest payroll at $358.4 million, went 3-6 on its homestand and headed to California for a nine-game trip.

After overcoming a 3-0 deficit to take a 4-3 lead on MJ Melendez's three-run homer in the third off Miles Mikolas and Mark Vientos' RBI double in the sixth against Mitchell Parker (1-0), the Mets lost a game in which they were ahead for the 10th time this year.

Luis García Jr. singled on the first pitch of the eighth from Luke Weaver (2-1) and Daylen Lile beat out the relay throw to avoid a double-play grounder. Abrams drove a hanging changeup 403 feet to right-center.

Gus Varland got four outs for his second save. He retired Tyrone Taylor on a flyout in the eighth that stranded Soto on second and struck out Ronny Mauricio on a full-count slider for the final out with Francisco Alvarez at second.

Washington went ahead 2-0 in the first. Jorbit Vivas raced home from first after pitcher Freddy Peralta threw the ball wildly past first on Nasim Nuñez’s comebacker and Nuñez came home on Jacob Young’s single. Abrams added an RBI single in the third.

Up next

Nationals: RHP Jake Irvin (1-3, 4.85) starts Friday against visiting Milwaukee and RHP Jacob Misiorowski (1-2, 3.31).

Mets: RHP Christian Scott (0-0, 6.75) starts Friday at the Los Angeles Angels, who send RHP Walbert Ureña (0-3, 4.76) to the mound.
