Lynne Marta, an actor who maintained a steady and prolific TV and film career for nearly 40 years best known for roles on Love, American Style and the 1984 film Footloose, died of cancer in Los Angeles January 11. She was 78.
Calling Marta “a beautiful light,” the actor’s friend Joan Sobel wrote on Facebook, “My friend, Lynne Marta lost her good fight. A wonderfully talented actress and a beautiful singer whose voice was of the angels. A dear heart who adored her friends both human and furry. I will miss her terribly.”
Born on October 30, 1945, in Somerville, NJ, Marta began her TV career in 1966 with appearances on Gidget and The Monkees, and relatively few years went by without a film or TV credit through her 2004 role in an episode of the NBC drama series American Dreams. She appeared in 24 episodes of the soap Days of Our Lives between 1983 and 2003.

Iowa Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks reported receiving death threats after voting against Rep. Jim Jordan in his second failed ballot to secure the House Speakership on Wednesday.
“I have received credible death threats and a barrage of threatening calls.” Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) wrote in a statement. “The proper authorities have been notified and my office is cooperating fully. One thing I cannot stomach, or support is a bully.”
“Someone who threatens another with bodily harm or tries to suppress differing opinions
undermines opportunity for unity and regard for freedom of speech,” she added.

Facing litigation on multiple fronts, the Walt Disney Company has been served with another lawsuit from investors claiming that the company under former CEO Bob Chapek concealed the true costs of producing films and TV shows for its Disney+ streaming service.
In the 63-page lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of Delaware and obtained by TheWrap, Stourbridge Investments LLC alleges that Chapek, along with his lieutenant Kareem Daniel and former CFO Christine McCarthy, initially aired shows greenlit as Disney+ originals on legacy outlets like Disney Channel and then shifted the marketing and production costs of those shows onto those outlets “as part of a scheme to make Disney+’s financial performance appear more successful than it really was.”
Among the shows the plaintiffs cite as part of this strategy were “The Mysterious Benedict Society,” which was pulled from Disney+ this past May, and “Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.,” which ran...
