| Brooke Shields: Amateur sleuths clash, collaborate on 'Killing Me' | Suddenly Susan and Lipstick Jungle alum Brooke Shields says the age difference between the two main characters in You're Killing Me offers as much insight as it does humor.

| 'Imagine 2' star Dennis Quaid: It's never too late to seek redemption | Reagan, The Substance and Happy Face actor Dennis Quaid hopes his brief appearance in I Can Only Imagine 2 reminds people to tell someone they love them or are proud of them. "That is really the truth," Quaid, 72, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "That goes by and people aren't around anymore and, so, there's nothing to do about that. You're left with the memories that you're left with," the actor said. "I think it's something that we've all struggled with -- a lot of things we take for granted in life and a lot of things we've talked ourselves into that we don't need or maybe we just missed and it's, 'What if? |
