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.

Sometimes, such as when working out or walking the dog, basics are best. So says Dakota Johnson, so say we all. The actor was spotted walking her new dog in Malibu on August 11, wearing head-to-toe basic-black workout gear to match her very nonbasic black pooch. She wore a V-neck sports bra with matching bike shorts, a black Mets cap, black sunglasses, and white-and-black dad sneakers with crew socks. Who knew workout basics could look so chic? Dakota Johnson, apparently.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."

This is your periodic reminder that Sydney Sweeney is, in fact, engaged to be married. She’s been betrothed to 41-year-old producer Jonathan Davino since 2022. The rarely sighted pair stepped out for dinner in Santa Monica on Sunday, August 11, reportedly meeting up with friends and their friends’ kid. Davino kept cool in jeans, a button-down, white sneakers, and an Apple Watch, while Sweeney, 26, opted for a country club-esque palette of creamy whites and brown leather. Her ribbed cashmere polo, an unnecessary sweater (unnecessary heatwise, not fashionwise) around the shoulders, white denim jorts and knee-high boots give off a vaguely “just got off my horse” vibe, no?
