Valerie Bertinelli, 65, Posts Rare Throwback Photo of '80s Role You Might Not Know About

ActressValerie Bertinelliis best known for showsOne Day at a Timein the 1970s/1980s and theBetty WhitesitcomHot in Clevelandin the 2010s, plus her various Food Network shows from over the years. But in the 1980s, in what looks like it was perhaps after One Day at a Time went off the air, Bertinelli starred in a rather famous play in Santa Barbara, California. On Wednesday, May 21, the actress posted a photo to Instagram of herself in a production of "Vanities" by playwrightJack Heifner. "#waybackwednesday mid '80s Stage production of 'Vanities' in Santa Barbara. Just a short run and a whole heck of a lot of fun," wrote Bertinelli. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Valerie Bertinelli (@wolfiesmom) Though it was a "short run," according to Bertinelli, the playwright is very aware that she starred in it. In 2022, Heifnerdid an interview with Breaking Characterwhere he talked about his play, which originally debuted in 1976, and how it's still relevant today. In doing so, he managed to name-drop a lot of big stars who have starred inVanities, including Bertinelli. "The original cast was brilliant withKathy Bates, Susan MersonandJane Galloway. The Los Angeles cast opened withSandy Duncan, Stockard ChanningandLucie Arnazand they were dazzling," said Heifner, adding, "Some of the other wonderful actresses to play the roles wereSally Field, Elizabeth Ashley, Priscilla Lopez, Kelly Bishop, Annie Potts, Cybil Shepherd, Tyne Daly, Barbara Sharma, Annette O'Toole, Valerie Bertinelliand almost every woman of that age at that time played it somewhere. It was the most produced play in the USA for several years." That is quite some good company that Bertinelli is in. The play is about three women named Joanne, Kathy and Mary. The first act is about them in high school, the second is when they are in college and the third act is what has become of them after college. Honestly, we're dying to know which part Bertinelli played and with whom she co-starred in the production. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 In the comments of Bertinelli's Instagram post, her fans can't believe how beautiful she looks in the photo.

Iconic Actress Recalls 'Crazy' Run-In With Taylor Swift: 'I Hate Myself'

Iconic Actress Recalls 'Crazy' Run-In With Taylor Swift: 'I Hate Myself'

Julia Stiles—she's just like us! The10 Things I Hate About Youstar detailed the "crazy" run-in she once had withTaylor Swiftin the Wednesday, May 21 episode of the podcastHow to Fail, where she begrudgingly opened up about meeting the superstar at a "game night party" they were both invited to. Stiles, 44, joked, "God, I hate myself right now," as she dove into the tale. "The biggest name-dropping I could do—but it happened and it's awesome." Swift, she said, just "has that presence" where you "could just feel" her entering the room. She wasn't planning on bothering the Eras Tour artist that night, but as she was getting ready to leave, someone intervened, letting her know that Swift was interested in saying hi to her. Related: Beloved Songwriter Recalls 'So Pathetic' Run-in With Taylor Swift "...he was like, 'She really likes your work,'" the actress recalled, adding that she "blacked out" as they shook hands. "I don't remember, actually, what happened after that—but she said something very nice to me." Stiles further "dissociated for a second" while the two chatted, but eventually "worked up the courage" to praise the musician. "You're amazing; this is crazy," she told her, recalling the way she "looked like she genuinely appreciated it." While "there used to be a part of [her]" that insisted she "play it cool" when crossing paths with another actor or artist that she admired, more recently she's "discovered that everybody that's a performer wants to know people are listening to their music or watching their movies or care at all." Now, she's "totally, unselfconsciously ready to say" how fantastic she thinks somebody is. "Even somebody like Taylor Swift, who is the biggest star on the planet, seems humble enough or just positive enough to be like, 'Yeah, I'm glad that bazillions of people like to listen to my music,'" she pointed out. "They don't take it for granted." Related: Taylor Swift Fans Clap Back at Critics Over Newly Surfaced 'Drunk Karaoke' Video

Kermit the Frog to deliver commencement address at the University of Maryland graduation

Kermit the Frog to deliver commencement address at the University of Maryland graduation

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Kermit the Frog knows it's not easy being green — or graduating from college and entering the real world, especially during a time of economic uncertainty and political turmoil. Members of the University of Maryland's class of 2025 will receive their diplomas Thursday evening with sage advice from the amphibious Muppet ringing in their ears. The university announced in March that Kermit, who was created in 1955 and became the centerpiece of the Muppets franchise, would be this year's commencement speaker. He's also no stranger to the school. Muppets creator Jim Henson graduated from Maryland in 1960. A home economics major, he fashioned the original frog puppet from one of his mother's coats and a ping-pong ball cut in half, according to a statement from the university. Henson died in 1990. A bronze statue of Henson and Kermit sitting on a bench is a well-known feature of the College Park campus. In a video announcing the speaker pick, Kermit is described as an environmental advocate, a best-selling author, an international superstar and a champion of creativity, kindness and believing in the impossible. His speaker bio calls him "a star of stage, screen and swamp" whose simple mission is to "sing and dance and make people happy." "I am thrilled that our graduates and their families will experience the optimism and insight of the world-renowned Kermit the Frog at such a meaningful time in their lives," university President Darryll J. Pines said in a statement. The statement also quoted the beloved frog himself: "Nothing could make these feet happier than to speak at the University of Maryland. I just know the class of 2025 is going to leap into the world and make it a better place, so if a few encouraging words from a frog can help, then I'll be there!"

Miley Cyrus Admits 'Lying' to Beloved Godmother Dolly Parton

Miley Cyrus Admits 'Lying' to Beloved Godmother Dolly Parton

Miley Cyrusrevealed that she lied to her godmotherDolly Partonabout some of songs off her upcoming albumSomething Beautiful. In an interview on Apple Music'sThe Zane Lowe Showon May 21, the "Flowers" singer, 32, admitted that while she did lie to Parton, 79, the fib ultimately led to Cyrus writing "More to Lose" and "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" — two tracks on the new album. Cyrus explained that she played the "Jolene" singer the song "Something Beautiful" — which was released back in March — who told her "'I see what you're doing. Got any hits?'" "And I'm like, 'I do actually,'" she explained. Parton then pressed for more details on the song and Cyrus shared the name "More to Lose" with her, except she hadn't written the new track yet. "[I] had not written it yet. But I knew the title," she continued. ""I was like, 'I'll send it to you.' And she goes, 'Well, you got any more?' I was like, 'Well…'" The fib led to Cyrus setting a new deadline for herself to complete the track to show her godmother and recalled telling her songwriting partner Michael Pollack that 'We got to write this song' urgently. "He had a song that he had already started with another writer who I had never met [Autumn Rowe], and I had never heard any of it," she said. "But he goes, 'It's funny, I think some of this melody will work that I've been working on.' And so I was like, 'Well I don't know, but I told her I'll send it to her, so we've got to write this ASAP.'" 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Once Cyrus completed the song, she played the song for Parton, who asked her if she ""Got any more" hits to share with her. "I was like, 'I do actually, and I think you're really going to like the title,' " Cyrus recalled. "And meanwhile I'm going, 'What titles do I have in my head?' And I'm like, 'I've got a song called 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved,' and you're going to love that." Parton then told her "''I love that title, that should be your everything. You should have a makeup line, all these things.'" Although the songs hadn't been written at the time she spoke with Parton, Cyrus credited the "9 to 5" singer with helping make them happen. "Because of her did those two songs ever get created," she added. Cyrus' new albumSomething Beautifuland accompanying film are set to be released on May 30.
