Juanita Moore, an Oscar-nominated actress for her role as Annie Johnson in the 1959 drama “Imitation of Life,” has died at the age of 99.

Tiffany Woys is completely and utterly in love. Set to marry her fiance Jeff Siddiqi later in 2022, the country music singer finds herself in that sweet spot of her life where all she can see are blue skies ahead.
And that’s what makes singing about heartbreak so dang hard.
“I'm so happy right now that it's hard for me to put myself in this, in that place,” she tells Taste of Country during a recent interview about her new single “I Don’t Want You Back,” which tells that all-too common, tug-of-war story of a bleeding heart.

This TV season’s Will & Grace revival recaptured most of the magic that made the NBC sitcom’s original run so successful — with the notable exception of Shelley Morrison, the actress who played Rosario, Karen’s put-upon housekeeper. Because of real-life circumstances, the creators of the show had to figure out how to address her absence.
Though the now-81-year-old actress did reprise the role briefly in the election-themed reunion video the cast filmed in 2016 — her first on-screen appearance in over a decade — co-creator Max Mutchnick told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour this summer she wouldn’t be returning for the ninth season.
