The U.S. women’s gymnastics team had an emotional bronze medal moment on Aug. 5 after Jordan Chiles’s floor routine was reexamined by judges.

Nailed it!

The 2024 Paris Olympics have provided plenty of fashion moments, from leotards to shoes, but sometimes it’s the little things that really help give athletes the confidence to nail it at the competitions — like a manicure.

Competitors, including track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson and Olympic gold medalists Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee, are making sure their nails are at their best while going for gold.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett.

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."
