Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

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. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Florida’s official tourism website quietly deleted a landing page for “LGBTQ travel” sometime in the last four months, archived versions of the site show. The change was first reported by NBC News, which noted the LGBTQ Travel page’s old URL on VisitFlorida.com now directs users to a general “things to do” page. It’s unclear why the change was made and who made the decision to remove it. Visit Florida is a nonprofit that’s operated as a public-private partnership since Florida’s legislature created it in 1996. The website still has landing pages specific to other minority groups, like Black and Hispanic travelers. Advice for LGBTQ travelers remains on the website, but now must be accessed through a specific search. Florida has become more hostile for LGBTQ people with Gov. Ron DeSantis in office. Since 2021, the state’s legislature has passed laws to limit the instruction of sexual orientation in public schools, to force trans people to use their birth-assigned gender in bathrooms on college campuses, and outright banned public universities from using state or federal funds on DEI programs.Read it at NBC NewsRead more at The Daily Beast.

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart.
