When Melania Trump stepped into the White House state dining room wearing a deep emerald strapless gown worth over three thousand dollars, the room seemed to pause around her. It wasn’t just the elegance of the Elie Saab design or the way the silk shimmered under the chandeliers—it was the unmistakable sense that every detail…
Sally Kirkland’s passing at eighty four brings a hush over Hollywood that feels strangely intimate, as though an entire era has pulled up a chair and gone quiet for a moment.

Life had never been easy for me—not in the glamorous, movie-worthy way, but in the quiet, day-to-day balancing act that most people never see.
