Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

One goal. One goal was the difference between Brazil going out in the group stages and them advancing to the knockout stages, and now a chance to win a Gold medal. Funnily enough, it’s the team they face this Saturday that helped them kick start this journey. Had the USWNT scored one less goal, or conceded a second against Australia, this would have been a tale of heartbreak for Brazil.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
