The 1976 action series "Charlie's Angels" was a massive success for a very simple reason: the lead actresses were dazzling. Yes, the premise was fun, but most of the show's fans will sooner talk about how the original Angels -- Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, and Farrah Fawcett -- were objects of their crushes. The makers of "Charlie's Angels" seemingly spent just as much time filming the Angels running in slow-motion as they did setting up plots or working on character development. 

The series followed three recent graduates of the LAPD's police academy who, despite their excellent fighting and crime-stopping skills, are given menial, sexist jobs that do not challenge them. Instead, they pursue a job with a secretive private investigation company, run by a wealthy, off-screen benefactor named Charlie Townsend (John Forsythe). He gives them assignments in secret (Charlie has a lot of enemies) and nicknames them his "Angels." 

The series progressed for five seasons,...

It’s hard to believe That ’70s Show first premiered on TV over 25 years ago!

The Fox teen sitcom – starring Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama, Debra Jo Rupp, Kurtwood Smith, Don Stark, Tommy Chong, Josh Meyers, Tanya Roberts, and Lisa Robin Kelly – premiered on August 23, 1998 and ran for eight seasons before ending on May 18, 2006.

A revival series, titled That ’90s Show, debuted on Netflix in January 2023 and seven of the original stars returned for the spinoff. Unfortunately, the spinoff was canceled after 2 seasons.

We’re now taking a look at what the cast of That ’70s Show is up to today.

Priscilla Presley is no stranger to the spotlight. From her high-profile marriage to Elvis Presley to her memorable role as Jane Spencer in The Naked Gun trilogy, she’s left an indelible mark on pop culture. But one role fans may not know she was offered? A Bond Girl. Presley was famously offered the role of Bond Girl Stacey Sutton in A View to a Kill alongside Roger Moore back in 1985, and it was reported that Presley didn't take part in the film due to her commitments to the television series Dallas, with the part ultimately going to Tanya Roberts, who appeared alongside Christopher Walken and Grace Jones.

Demi Moore moved around a lot in her childhood, and her life wasn't wholly rosy. As she's described it, Moore frequently relocated around the U.S., struggling with her mother and her stepfathers, and often finding herself malnourished. When she was 16, Moore dropped out of high school and took a job as a receptionist at 20th Century Fox. She signed a modest modeling contract and was making ends meet. Her next door neighbor was, it turned out, Nastassja Kinski, and the German actor encouraged Moore to take acting classes. She continued to model while working her way into films, making her debut in the 1981 movie "Choices." The following year, Moore appeared in the 3-D monster movie "Parasite."

These were the first two steps in a career that experienced a massive upward trajectory. By 1984, Moore was already playing lead characters in major studio productions.

During the mid-1970s, television producer Aaron Spelling and the writing duo of Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts hit upon the most spectacularly novel idea: Viewers loved watching women solve crimes. The eureka moment occurred in 1974 when the great and ludicrously beautiful Angie Dickinson scored a primetime hit with "Police Woman." While I'd argue Dickinson could've burned up the Nielsen ratings via weekly readings of Russian literature shot at the Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, she was a must-watch sensation as a glamorously attired detective. Though the scripts were rigorously formulaic for a '70s hour-long cop show, Dickinson's showbiz rep attracted a host of top tier guest stars; "Police Woman" didn't have much of a hook, but thanks to its star, it had plenty of sizzle.

It took some prodding (ABC execs Barry Diller and Michael Eisner abhorred Spelling's pitch), but "Charlie's Angels" became the breakout hit of the 1976 season.

When it was released, Spectre struck many a James Bond fan as a disappointment. It was coming on the heels of the phenomenal Skyfall, and even shared a director with that box office juggernaut, and had an odd take on Blofeld. But, there are aspects that work, including the opening and the non-traditional "Bond Girl" role for Monica Bellucci.

While on the promotional tour for Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Bellucci sat down with Vanity Fair and was asked about a few of her past roles. Considering she was 50 when director Sam Mendes reached out to her, Bellucci thought it would be for the role of M, a role played in Skyfall (and throughout Pierce Brosnan's tenure as well as Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace) by Dame Judi Dench. But, no, it was for a "Bond Woman," and Bellucci marked the oldest of that iconic group, eclipsing Goldfinger's Honor Blackman,...

That ’90s Show is one of the only spin-off comedy series that is actually good.

That ’70 Show...

There was a time when most genre fiction was lumped together as a single collection of unserious literature by both critics and magazines. This is why weird fiction often shared an audience with sword and sorcery (and why writers like Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft could connect over their stories), with both genres influencing each other as they evolved.

There’s a similar inter-genre connection in the world of film, as many scholars have noticed a pattern where horror filmmakers eventually move onto bigger and more expensive fantasy projects. From Cannibal Holocaust’s Ruggero Deodato directing 1987’s The Barbarians to B-movie maestro Peter Jackson helming the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it seems like the horror genre somehow produces the best fantasy storytellers. However, today I’d like to discuss a particularly strange sword and sorcery flick directed by none other than Phantasm’s Don Coscarelli. Naturally, I’m...

Leia's maternal grandmother, Midge, remains unmentioned in That '90s Show season 2. Tanya Roberts, who played Midge, passed away in 2021, but the show has not addressed her character's absence. Midge's absence could be due to her passing or her lack of commitment to her family; it's strange to ignore her as she's related to two main cast members.

With Leia back at her grandparents' place in That '90s Show season 2, I'm surprised that one family member still hasn't been mentioned. That '90s Show season 2, part two has reunited Leia with her grandparents and has even shown hints of what her life is like back home in Chicago with her parents, Donna and Eric Foreman, cast members of That '70s Show. Despite this, there is still one member of Leia Foreman's family that hasn't really been mentioned yet, and I'm surprised it's taking this long.

Although That '90s Show cameos have...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for That '90s Show part 2!

That '90s Show hints at Midge Pinciotti's death following actress Tanya Roberts' real-life passing. Kitty's comment implies Midge's fate, but the show hasn't explicitly addressed it. That '90s Show part 3 needs to directly address Midge's fate and its impact on Donna's character.

One line in That 90s Show season 2 suggests that within the sitcoms universe, a beloved original That 70s Show character has passed away. That 90s Show season 2s cast brings back more That 70s Show stars and 90s celebrities for cameos, with Bob Pinciotti (Don Stark) officially moving back to Point Place while Leia Forman briefly gets a job working for Erics former nemesis Mitch Miller (Seth Green). As fun as it is to catch up with these iconic characters in a new decade, That 90s Show has still left the fates of some important original figures ambiguous.

Exclusive: A reimagination of the Charlie’s Angels franchise for tweens set in Brazil is in development from Sony Pictures Television – Kids and Sony Pictures Television-backed Floresta.

Viewers can expect the same high-octane action and comedy from the various Charlie’s Angels projects as well as a mysterious boss and empowered young female characters. Brazilian actress and writer, Suzana Pires (Sol Nascente; Flor do Caribe) will pen the Portuguese-language, live-action collaboration.

At the center of the tale are three pre-teens from different backgrounds and realities who are selected by a talent scout according to their special skills to join a secret school of spies called the Angels Academy. Each episode will follow the angels as they solve crimes and save the world…all while navigating their first year of spy school. The stories will blend a mix of real, relatable and at times, absurd cases, amped up with elements of fun and wish fulfillment.

Jeannie Epper, a stuntwoman known for her work in Wonder Woman and Dynasty has died. The performer was 83 years old. News of Epper’s death was confirmed by her family via The Hollywood Reporter, which revealed that the stuntwoman died of natural causes at her home in Simi Valley, California. As mentioned, above, Epper worked on Wonder Woman, serving as a double for Lynda Carter in the beloved television series. She also stepped in to swing from vines and propel down a mudslide on Kathleen Turner‘s behalf in Romancing the Stone. © HBO / Courtesy Everett Collection Epper’s work also included being a stunt double for Linda Evans‘ Krystle on the hit soapy drama Dynasty. She also served as a stunt double for several episodes of the series Charlie’s Angels, working alongside Tanya Roberts and Kate Jackson. In addition to her stunt work, Epper was also an actress, performing in films such as Hello,...

In the late 1970s, horror's slasher boom started thanks to big hits like Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in 1974 and John Carpenter's Halloween in 1978. The fad really took off in the 80s with Friday the 13th and its infinite clones, but stuck in the middle was a little horror movie from 1979 called Tourist Trap. Starring The Rifleman's Chuck Connors and Tanya Roberts from Charlie's Angels, Tourist Trap looks like just another slasher on the surface with yet another plot about a creepy guy in a mask killing young women. It only takes five minutes into the runtime, however, to discover that this slasher isn't one at all. Instead, it is a truly frightening horror film that includes telekinesis and the creepiest mannequins you'll ever discover. And it did it all with a PG rating.

I’ve always felt that the 1979 horror film Tourist Trap (watch it Here) deserves a lot more respect and attention than it gets – and that star Chuck Connors (best known for The Rifleman) deserved the “genre icon” career he was aiming for when he signed on for the movie. Barbara Crampton is someone who did achieve a genre icon career, and she clearly believes there was something great going on with Tourist Trap, because our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that she is producing a remake of the film!

Crampton is the Vice President of Production & Development at Alliance Media Partners, and the company has just acquired the rights to make a new version of Tourist Trap. Crampton will be producing the film alongside Bob Portal, who is Amp’s Managing Director & Head of Production.

Produced by Full Moon founder Charles Band, the original Tourist Trap stars Connors as Mr.

We are still in the heat of summer, and that means there’s still some time for the pool, camping, and leisurely road trips across the country. If you’re inclined to take to the open road, may I suggest sticking to major highways and leaving dusty backroads alone. You don’t wanna end up like the kids in either David Schmoeller’s Tourist Trap or Jaume Collet-Serra’s House of Wax (2005). You’re smarter than that. Sure, there’s a compelling case to be made for swapping out hardtop for gravel and dirt. Perhaps you want to witness relics of the past for yourself – abandoned towns and roadside barbeque pits, or even the scarce side-show attraction (if those still even exist). But don’t be a fool. If there’s anything to be learned here, it’s that disaster awaits around the next bend.

It’s time for a new episode of the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series, and in this one we’re looking back at a movie I have a great deal of fondness for, the 1979 Charles Band production Tourist Trap (watch it Here)! To find out why we think you should check out Tourist Trap, take a look at the video embedded above.

Directed by David Schmoeller, who also wrote the screenplay with J. Larry Carroll, Tourist Trap stars Chuck Connors as Mr. Slausen, a telekinetic psychopath who lures a group of young people to his ramshackle roadside attraction, unleashing an army of psychically controlled mannequins and other monstrosities upon them. As the terrified youths fight for their lives, secrets are revealed and shock follows shock until the movie reaches its nightmarish, unforgettable finale.

Connors is joined in the cast by Shailar Coby, Jocelyn Jones, Jon Van Ness,...

Donna finally gave in to Kitty's wishes and called her "mom" in That '90s Show season 1, episode 1, and the gesture had an even deeper meaning than it seemed. Despite Kitty's insistence, Donna had been resistant to giving her mother-in-law this title at first. However, just before the pilot episode ended and Eric and Donna returned home to Chicago, the two shared a hug, and Donna finally said the coveted word. For much of the episode, it comically seemed as if Donna was just being stubborn. However, a plotline from That '70s Show reveals there was more to it.

While Donna and Eric were visiting Point Place in That '90s Show, they got to experience what it was like to be "upstairs people," as Red put it, as opposed to the teenagers in the basement. This was when Kitty reiterated her desire for Donna to call her "mom," and it's implied...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for That '90s Show season 1!Bob Pinciotti makes a wonderful yet tragic return in That ‘90s Show, which is due to one key detail from his That ‘70s Show ending. That ‘90s Show brings back the majority of the main characters from That ‘70s Show for recurring roles or guest appearances, including Leia’s grandparents Red and Kitty Forman, father Eric, mother Donna, and maternal grandfather Bob. In That ‘90s Show season 1, episode 6, “The Birthday Girl,” Bob returns to Point Place to celebrate the 15th birthday of his only granddaughter Leia, who is staying with Eric’s parents Red and Kitty throughout the summer of 1995. Like old times, Bob tries competing with Red and Kitty over spoiling their granddaughter for her birthday.

After being the next-door neighbor of Red and Kitty Forman for over a decade, Bob Pinciotti decided to sell his house and move...

Hubert G. Wells, who trained animals for films including the original Doctor Dolittle, Out of Africa, Wolf, Sheena and The Ghost and the Darkness, has died. He was 88.

Wells died on Christmas Day of age-related illnesses at his home in Thousand Oaks, fellow animal trainer Doree Sitterly told The Hollywood Reporter.

Sitterly and Wells worked together for 20 years — she doubled for Meryl Streep on Out of Africa while Wells was serving as chief animal trainer on the 1986 Oscar best picture winner — and for 10 of those they lived on a compound in the Santa Monica Mountains that was filled with trained wild animals. (They raised lion cubs in the laundry room.)

The Hungarian-born Wells got his start in Hollywood at Jungleland, a 27-acre theme park and private zoo in Thousand Oaks that was used to rent and train animals for movies, TV shows and commercials. After it closed in 1969, he created Animal Actors of Hollywood,...

A brand-new clip for the upcoming That '90s Show welcomes back Don Stark's eccentric divorced father, Bob Pinciotti, to the Netflix's sequel series to the hit coming-of-age sitcom That '70s Show. Stark was a regular in That '70s Show, playing the father of Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) and appearing in all 200 episodes of the show's eight-season run on Fox from 1998-2006. More recently, the veteran actor appeared in Green Book, which secured three wins at the 2017 Academy Awards, including the Oscar for Best Motion Picture of The Year.

The new video released by Netflix highlights Bob's return in That '90s Show. Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red Foreman (Kurtwood Smith) prepare for their granddaughter's birthday festivities as Bob walks in through the open sliding glass door, much to Red's ire. Bob remarks that he's brought oranges from Florida for the birthday party, referencing his move to Florida to...

As such, That ‘90s Show will see the return of some of That ‘70s Show most memorable characters, but its main focus will be on a new generation of teenagers getting involved in all types of problems.

That ‘90s Show will follow the same style as That ‘70s Show, being set in Point Place, Wisconsin, and thus featuring places that the audience knows quite well. However, the series will now follow...

Nostalgia operates on 20-year cycles — that's why the late 1990s produced a series aptly titled, "That '70s Show." Many supporting characters and guest stars were, naturally, '70s cultural icons. Tommy Chong repurposed his comic persona as Leo, a former hippie and owner of the local photo shop. Dwayne Johnson guest-starred as his own father, wrestler Rocky Johnson, while Billy Dee Williams played a "Star Wars" obsessed preacher.

One of these more prominent faces, at least during the first three seasons, was the late Tanya Roberts as Midge Pinciotti, the absent-minded mother of Donna (Laura Prepon). It's likely that Roberts' role as...

SAG-AFTRA’s unclaimed residuals fund has grown to roughly $76 million – up 60% from $48 million six years ago. According to the union, the fund now contains 124,000 separate accounts for members and others, living and dead, that it can’t locate. That’s up from 96,000 accounts in 2016.

“The funds may be unclaimed for a variety of reasons including a bad address or as a result of mail returned for other reasons; unresolved estate issues, or the funds may be in trust for an inactive or dissolved loan out corporation,” a spokesperson for the union said. “Most often, residuals may be waiting for a recipient or their agent to formalize a change of address or submit the appropriate paperwork to claim the funds.

Even though Sunday’s SAG Awards ceremony will be shortened to just one pre-taped hour on TNT and TBS, the special In Memoriam segment will still be a highlight. Since the 2020 event aired on January 19, it will be over 14 months until the one on April 4. That means even more actors, actresses and members of SAG/AFTRA will hopefully be honored than the 40 people in the tribute last year.

A day after being incorrectly declared dead, former Bond actress Tanya Roberts has died from a urinary tract infection. She was 65.

Roberts, known for playing Stacey Sutton in the 1985 James Bond film "A View To A Kill" and Midge Pinciotti on "That '70s Show", passed away on Monday, reports variety.com.

Earlier, it had been prematurely declared that she had died on Sunday night, following which such reports were retracted.

On Tuesday, Roberts' publicist, Mike Pingel, confirmed that the actress died on Monday due to a urinary tract infection that spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and blood stream.

Previously, Pingel mistakenly told many publications that Roberts had died on Sunday after her partner, Lance O'Brien, visited her in the hospital and assumed that she had died.

Later, it was reported that she was still in the hospital in a critical condition.

Hollywood is mourning the loss of a screen legend. Days following a premature announcement, Tanya Roberts passed away on Monday, Jan. 4 at the age of 65. The star's spokesperson, Mike Pingel, confirmed her death in a statement to E!

Tanya Roberts died Monday night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after earlier in the day Roberts’ publicist revealed that he had given an incorrect statement and announced her death prematurely.

Roberts’ publicist, Mike Pingel, confirmed her death to TheWrap via statement. According to the statement, the 65-year-old’s cause of death was from a urinary tract infection that spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and then bloodstream.

Roberts’ domestic partner Lance O’Brien received the phone call from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last night at their home confirming her passing. O’Brien told TMZ, Extra and The New York Times that Roberts died Monday evening.

Pingel previously told The New York Times that Roberts was hospitalized and was in grave condition after she collapsed on Christmas Eve while walking her dogs, but he did so after on Sunday giving information to many outlets that Roberts had already died. No cause of death was given,...

Tanya Roberts is not dead.

The actress, who was reported dead on Sunday, is still very much alive, it has been announced.

A representative for the star previously claimed she was dead to multiple outlets, but is now saying that is not the case.

Mike Pingel told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, "I did get confirmation [of her death], but that was from a very distraught person [Roberts' boyfriend, Lance O'Brien]," Pingel said.

The rep added, "And so yes, this morning at 10 a.m. ... the hospital did call to say that she was still alive but it's not looking good. We will hopefully have information [soon]. It's upsetting."

O'Brien was also seen on Inside Edition on Monday when he received a call to say that Roberts was still alive.

"The hospital is telling me she is alive. They are calling me from the ICU team," he told Inside Edition.

On Tuesday, Roberts’ publicist, Mike Pingel, confirmed to Variety that she died Monday night at 9:30 p.m. Pt due to a urinary tract infection that spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and blood stream.

She remained hospitalized in “dire” condition Monday, Pingel told Variety earlier that day.

Roberts was out walking her dogs on Christmas Eve when she collapsed. The cause of death is not understood to be related to Covid-19.
