[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. 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.

Many tattoo studios have a pretty consistent look and structure - neon in the window, pages of flash hung on the walls and apprentices keeping the studio clean and practicing on oranges while senior artists tend to the clients. Now a new generation of tattoo artists is doing things a little differently. NPR's Linnea Anderson reports.

Have you ever wanted to do something that everybody around you, maybe even you, thought was impossible, even crazy? More than a hundred years ago, Bessie Coleman, a daughter of former slaves, decided she wanted to fly. And in 1921, she became the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license. She barnstormed all over the country, performing death-defying stunts in the air.

This story is part of the My Unsung Hero series, from the Hidden Brain team. It features stories of people whose kindness left a lasting impression on someone else. In 1989, Julia Weber was 22 years old, fresh out of college and living in the Bay Area of Northern California. One afternoon, she was walking from her job in downtown San Francisco to a nearby bus stop when the sidewalk began to shake.

You're listening to LIFE KIT... Hey, everybody. It's Marielle. When was the last time you bought something - like a piece of clothing or jewelry or electronics or makeup or a kitchen gadget or home decor? Was it a month ago, a week ago, an hour ago? After all, buying things is so easy now. We can drop a hundred bucks on a deluxe egg cooker while we're waiting for the subway or buy sunglasses on flash sale while we're in line for coffee, even grab an adorable hot pink cake stand while we're in a Zoom meeting because we definitely will start making cakes if we have a cake stand, right?

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.

As a portrait of a marriage, it’s bizarre. I’m talking about the dual portrait John Singer Sargent painted in 1885 of Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson. Louis, whose first novel, Treasure Island, had been published two years earlier, is captured pacing in a darkened room. Tall and thin, Louis looks every inch like an "insane stork," which is how fellow writer Henry Adams described him. Louis stares out beyond the confines of the portrait at us, the viewers, as if to share an idea he’s just had.

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. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
