It's a revisit to Trinity, South Carolina, in the Sam Raimi-produced and Shaun Cassidy-created horror TV series, AMERICAN GOTHIC (1995). Starred Lucas Black, Gary Cole, Paige Turco & Jake Weber. An underseen, great show.

I also have to say that Charlotte Rampling (#BornThisDay in 1946) was perhaps the perfect photographic subject for Helmut Newton.

For all of the hand wringing about what Jerry Springer's popularity was doing to society, the people he had on his show didn't convince anyone that vaccines are bad and weird supplements are a cure-all

In the winter of 1974 I spotted Redd Foxx chilling in front of the Hotel Theresa. “Do you have a pen and a piece of paper?” I asked mom. Seconds later I was dashing toward him. “Mr. Foxx…can I please have your autograph?” He smiled slyly. “Sure kid.”
