In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

On Saturday night, August 10, Tamara Murphy, the 63-year-old owner of celebrated Capitol Hill restaurant Terra Plata, died after suffering a stroke. Murphy was one of the leading lights of a generation of chefs that defined Pacific Northwest cuisine. She focused on local and seasonal ingredients at a time when that was an unusual approach, and ran some of Seattle’s most influential restaurants, including the now-closed Campagne, where she won a James Beard Award; her first restaurant, Brasa, which also closed, and Terra Plata, which she opened with her partner in life and business, Linda Di Lello Morton. She was a legend and remained at the top of her game until her death: The New York Times recently named Terra Plata one of the top 25 restaurants in Seattle.
