Occasionally, certain topics on the web gain popularity multiple times. Recently, the tidbit that’s been making waves again is the fact that Catherine O’Hara, famously known as Kevin McCallister’s mom in the classic ’90s film “Home Alone”, was only 36 years old when she portrayed the character. It’s not the first time this piece of trivia has trended online, but it’s the first time I find myself truly astonished by it.

In the expansive universe of Star Trek, there are several memorable extraterrestrial beings that have left their mark. Among them are the Vulcans with pointed ears and the Klingons, who have evolved over time, and it’s not hard to identify which species hail from Gene Roddenberry’s multiverse. One particularly striking race is the Orions – aliens with a green hue that first appeared in “The Cage,” the pilot episode of “Star Trek: The Original Series.” This episode also marked Captain Pike’s tragic fate. Susan Oliver was the pioneer who brought the Orion species to life, creating an indelible impression for viewers embarking on the five-year mission. In a later episode, “Whom Gods Destroy” (Season 3, Episode 14), Yvonne Craig took up the mantle of going green, but the challenge turned challenging and even risky when no one could recall the original method for achieving this transformation.

Hulu’s stand-up push continues with Ilana Glazer.

Actor Temuera Morrison, along with Zack Morris, David Field, Pacharo Mzembe, and Gideon Mzembe, have been added to the cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ period film The Bluff, which features Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the leading role.

Adrian Monk is undeniably one of the sharpest TV detectives ever, standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Columbo, Sherlock Holmes, and Luther. Over eight seasons on USA Network, Monk’s uncanny ability to spot every detail, often due to his OCD, combined with his relentless pursuit of justice following the loss of his wife Trudy, kept viewers eagerly tuning in each week. Notably, many well-known actors graced the series during its run, some who were already famous before Monk, while others have since risen to stardom.
