Barbara Eden unknowingly performed Vegas act in front of a dead man: 'They covered him up with a tablecloth'

Barbara Eden unknowingly performed Vegas act in front of a dead man: 'They covered him up with a tablecloth'

Taylor Hill/FilmMagic When they say the show must go on, they mean it. Barbara Eden, the legendary television and cabaret star who just celebrated her 94th birthday, was a recent guest onBill Maher'sClub Randompodcast. The comic led Eden through the highlights of her career, including one macabre moment during a live performance in Las Vegas. As Eden told it, the expression "you really killed tonight" wasn't just a figure of speech. It was back in the early 1970s when Eden was opening for comedianShecky Greeneat the original MGM Grand in Las Vegas (later Bally's, now the Horseshoe Las Vegas.) Eden said she and her mother would always stick around after her performance to watch Greene because he was so unpredictable onstage. But one night he came off and was cursing up a storm. Silver Screen Collection/Getty "We said, 'What's wrong? What's wrong?' He said, 'How can I make people laugh with the dead guy in front?'" When Maher pressed, "An actual dead guy?" Eden replied, "Ohhhh, yeah." Turns out, that when she was doing her act, someone had died in the crowd. "They covered him up with a tablecloth," she said. Clarifying, she added, "But I didn't know it." When Maher asked if the rest of the audience was aware, she said she didn't know but "they got the wife out of there." Maher, chuckling, added, "The Desert Inn has heart!," a reference to theAlbert BrooksfilmLost in America, which includes a cautionary chapter about visiting Las Vegas. Eden simply repeated, "I found out about it afterward," and explained that the lights onstage made it difficult to see even the front of the audience. (The dead man covered in the tablecloth was right up front, apparently.) Some poking around on the internet shows that Eden and Greene were at the MGM Grand's Celebrity Room in December 1973. At the time of this publication, an old program and menu from the event, in good shape, was selling on eBay for $157.50. Now that the world knows this story, the price should only go up. Speaking of prices, the meals during the show were pretty darn expensive for 1973. The breast of chicken saute alfredo with egg noodles and sour cream went for $15. Online inflation calculators price that at somewhere between $90 and $105 today. Would you spend so much on dinner theater food in Vegas? Maybe the sticker shock is what killed that guy. Lanks/Classicstock/Getty If the name Shecky Greene sounds like a pretend comedian to you, know that he was a pretty huge draw back in the day, and a regular on the talk show circuit. He also had a few dramatic roles. He was a regular on the influential 1960s Army dramaCombat!and appeared in theFrank Sinatra-led private eye pictureTony Rome. He was also inMel Brooks'History of the World, Part I(as the baddie Marcus Vindictus), a film with a surfeit of like-minded performers including Henny Youngman,Jackie Mason, andSid Caesar. Eden, of course, is best known for her timeless performance as Jeannie onI Dream of JeannieoppositeLarry Hagman. That series ran from 1965 to 1970. Eden reprised the role in the television filmI Dream of Jeannie... Fifteen Years Laterin 1985 andI Still Dream of Jeanniein 1991.

2 adults dead, 7 children injured in ATV accident in Alabama

2 adults dead, 7 children injured in ATV accident in Alabama

Two adults were killed and seven children were injured, including one as young as 1 year old, in an all-terrain vehicle crash over the weekend at an off-roading park in Alabama, authorities said. None of the occupants was wearing proper restraints or harnesses while riding in the vehicle, which crashed in a remote section of the park. The side-by-side RZR, an ATV model, crowded with nine people, hit another ATV on Saturday, overturned and crashed into a tree at Indian Mountain ATV Park in Piedmont, Cherokee County Emergency Management Agency Director Shawn Rogers said during a news conference Sunday. The male driver was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver said it appears the deceased driver was operating the ATV at a high rate of speed when it hit the other vehicle, whose driver tried to avoid the collision. Both Rogers and Shaver were among the county officials who emphasized how important it is to adhere to relevant safety protocols in any vehicle, like wearing restraints and carrying the correct number of people, in the aftermath of the crash. "This is a tragic accident and highlights the importance of operating RZRs and other recreational vehicles in a safe and responsible manner," Shaver said. The sheriff's office is awaiting toxicology results to determine whether alcohol played a factor. It's illegal to possess alcohol outside municipalities in Cherokee County, which has been dry since the Prohibition era a century ago. The location of the crash was remote, Cherokee County officials said, making it challenging to access for first responders and requiring staff at the ATV park to escort emergency crews to the site. Four medical helicopters took an adult female and three children to trauma centers in Birmingham. The woman later died from her injuries, officials said. Ambulances took the other four children to a hospital in Rome, Georgia. Rogers said officials have been told not one of the nine in the ATV was harnessed or restrained. "'I'm sure that it's not recommended to have nine people, especially young children, in a RZR not using safety harnesses," Shaver said. "There's nothing that says that everybody that gets in a side-by-side has to restrained," Rogers said. "That's one of those things that personal responsibility has to be taken, to ensure your own safety and the safety of those that's in your care." The children injured ranged in age from 1 to 12 years old. Cherokee County Coroner Paul McDonald said in a text to The Associated Press Sunday that the man who died was the father of all seven children and that the woman was the mother of three of the children. All the victims were from Georgia, according to McDonald. "Scenes like this are always difficult, especially when they involve children," the coroner said in a statement. "Please do everything you can to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you." No identities have been released pending family notifications. Rogers said officials did not know the medical status of any of the children or have updates on their conditions. The two people in the other ATV were not injured and tried to render aid, Shaver said. The accident site was in a remote location inside the park and was difficult to access. Staff at the ATV park, located about 75 miles northeast of Birmingham, had to escort medical personnel to the scene. The sheriff's office is leading the investigation into the accident with assistance from McDonald's office. Indian Mountain ATV Park says on its website that at just over 7 square miles in the Appalachian Mountain range, it's one of the largest private off-road parks in the South. A woman who answered the phone at the park on Sunday said officials were meeting with counsel and may release a statement later.

Army football player and father rescue man from burning car

Army football player and father rescue man from burning car

A college football player and his father made a lifesaving play over the weekend when their family drove by a fiery car wreck in upstate New York. Larry Pickett Jr., asafety for the U.S. Military Academy's football team, and his father pulled a man out of his car as flames were burning the white sedan, according to video posted to social media by his father. Larry Pickett Sr. credited his son for the save in a post on Instagram, though they both appeared to have carried the man. "Just after Midnight, I watched in awe as my son, Larry Pickett Jr., ran toward a burning vehicle, ignoring the downed power lines crackling around it," he wrote on Sunday. "With immense courage, he pulled a man to safety, saving him from a fiery fate." The Fort Montgomery Fire Departmentposted images of the scene to Facebook on Sunday, saying it responded to an accident where a car "struck a utility pole and became fully engulfed in flames." The family was driving back to West Point following a family dinner on Saturday night in New York City, according to The Associated Press. They were in town to watch the first Army football game of the season, a loss against Tarleton State. Video shared by the family shows a car crashed into a tree on the side of a road. A thin wooden pole, possibly the utility pole, appeared to have crushed the top of the car. The video picked up as the two men pull the man inside the white car out of the driver's seat. One takes the man's legs and the other grabs under his arms as they carry the man hurriedly across the street. "Larry, come on, get him out," a woman says in the video. One of the two men then ran into the street trying to stop other cars from passing through the street, warning them of a downed power line. The driver was conscious later in the video as the men asked him questions. He said he hadn't had any alcohol or medication prior to the crash. He was also seemingly disoriented, in disbelief that the car that crashed was his vehicle. "I was driving normally, all of a sudden boom, I'm here," the driver said, asking the men what happened as an officer approached. Later in the video, Larry Pickett Jr. says that there was someone on the side of the road when the family stopped but he thinks they didn't go closer because of the power line. He added that he was just grateful they were able to get him out of the car. "Cause that coulda gone totally different for him," he said. "So, just thankful honestly. That could have been really bad for him and his family." Larry Pickett Sr. credited the military academy for his son's act of bravery. "This is more than a display of leadership; it's a testament to the character West Point is building in him — a readiness to go into the line of fire, not just for his country, but for anyone who needs it," he wrote. The school shared a post to its social media commending its cadet for his quick thinking that night. The academy said it was proud of his "heroic actions." "Running towards danger to save lives is the embodiment of the Army Values and Warrior Ethos," the post said. Head Coach Jeff Monken wrote in a post on X that his actions embodied "courage, selflessness, and a willingness to put others before themselves." "In that critical moment, he didn't think of himself, only of helping another person in need," Monken wrote. "We are incredibly proud of Larry for the way he represented his family, our Army Football brotherhood, and the values of West Point."

Psychiatrist's message for hostile "The Summer I Turned Pretty" fans

Psychiatrist's message for hostile "The Summer I Turned Pretty" fans

The debate over who the main character in creator Jenny Han's "The Summer I Turned Pretty" should end up with is heating up as the final episodes of the third season approach – but fan enthusiasm is starting to spill into hostility. Prime Video's hit romance series has captivated audiences as it follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin who finds herself in a love triangle with brothers Jeremiah and Conrad Fisher competing for her attention. Passionate fans have broken off into two dueling camps: #TeamJeremiah versus #TeamConrad. And they're taking to social media to battle over which love interest should ultimately win Belly's heart. But some of these so-called fans are turning on the actors themselves. Last month, actors Christopher Briney (Conrad) and Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah)told "CBS Mornings"they often have to remind fans that they're just playing a role. "It's a story that people can relate to and love. Yeah, we're just grateful that people are passionate about the story we're telling," Casalegno said. Briney added, "You root for both of these characters at times." Lola Tung, who plays Belly, also admitted the rivalry gets a bit too intense at times. "When people have an attachment to the characters, they want to see it come together at the end. I'm so grateful that they care so much, but people get a little scary about it. Please don't threaten to kill someone if something doesn't go your way — I promise you, it's not that serious," shetold Teen Vogue. "There is a line between fiction and reality" Last week, Prime Video launched a social media campaign called, "The Summer We Started Acting Normal Online," urging viewers to keep the conversation kind and highlighted its zero tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech. "The show isn't real but the people playing the characters are," Prime Video wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Summer I Turned Pretty (@thesummeriturnedpretty) Board-certified psychiatrist and author Sue Varma said she is "blown away" that a network had to step in and tell fans to simmer down and the show is fiction. Varma says fans' emotional attachment may point to a larger societal problem. "There is a line between fiction and reality. And I feel as if these lines are becoming really blurred when people are projecting their anger, their hatred, their harassment and resentment onto fictional characters," she said. Varma said this indicates that there is perhaps a "deep void in our society right now" with people longing for human connection. She explained these fan behaviors are a sign of a psychological phenomenon known as parasocial relationships – or one-sided bonds with media figures. Varma adds the anonymity of social media emboldens fans to exhibit bad behavior.
