“I Cross My Heart” was destined to become George Strait’s song. Several artists test drove the ballad, including Bette Midler, before it ultimately landed in the King of Country’s hands in 1992. From there, it soared to No. 1 in the U.S. More than 30 years later, country fans still count the track among Strait’s best. “I Cross My Heart” has likely been the soundtrack to many an engagement or “first dance.” In fact, George Strait himself once employed the track as a grand romantic gesture for his wife, Norma.

The untold truth of "The Love Boat" is a strange combination of scoffing critics and adoring viewers. From its beginning, the feel-good ABC show drew prickly comments from reviewers, but it quickly established its audience to the tune of 10 seasons, numerous Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, and — appropriately enough — a People's Choice award. The show's fun, romantic plots and exotic cruise ship setting are captivating enough, but the cruise staff characters are an instrumental part of the series, providing stability and anchoring the events amidst the constantly changing guests, who are often played by well-known stars like Betty White and Shelley Winters.

One of the most glamorous and perhaps most tragic of the “glamour girls” of the West was the beautiful Pauline Cushman, who, during the Civil War, served as a Union spy. Her pictures show she possessed a gypsylike beauty, with long black hair, and her voice was likened to that of a lark. Pauline was born in New Orleans on June 10, 1833, but in the 1840s, the family moved to Michigan, where Pauline’s father opened a frontier trading post. Her youth was spent in the forest among the Chippewas, who called her Laughing Breeze.

Following their time in the White House, the Obamas have ventured into an entirely different arena of American culture: the entertainment industry. In 2018, former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama surprised the nation by founding Higher Ground, a production company with an attention-grabbing Netflix deal. Higher Ground started off strong — one of its earliest releases, an exposé of blue collar working conditions titled "American Factory," snatched up the 2020 Oscar for Best Documentary. Since then, the Obamas have continued to produce a variety of feature-length projects, from an adaptation of one of Barack's favorite novels to a biopic about civil rights activist Bayard Rustin.
