Today's Blind Items - Kindness
Looking back I don't think this actress has ever been a blind. It is crazy to me that someone who has been A list in her television niche for so long has never done anything to get in here. She won't even talk about how awful her former co-star was. Anyway, our actress is here today because it turns out that over her very long career she has raised almost $25M for a charity she loves. Her husband of many years apparently has kept a running tally of every dollar she has ever pledged or matched or had other people pledge. We are talking about actual dollars and not some kind of fundraiser where a bunch of money is raised, but after all the expenses of the party no one gets anything. Her husband, who is a fairly wealthy guy threw our actress a huge party to mark the accomplishment and had a lot of people in attendance who our actress had directly helped by her efforts and they got up and spoke and told their stories and how the actress helped them. Some of these people were helped two decades ago and still remembered where they were and how their lives were changed by the actress. It was a well deserved tribute.
Julia Louis Dreyfus?
ReplyDeleteSusan Lucci?
ReplyDeleteGreat guess because of television niche clue
DeleteI waa thinking Susan Lucci too.
DeleteMaybe...The whole "won't even talk about how awful her former co-star was" would likely be referring to Sarah Michelle Gellar. God, I may be dating myself here but remember way back when when. she played Kendal?? What a behind the scenes sh*t show that must have been!
DeleteAllison Janney
ReplyDeleteDamn Montana!
ReplyDeleteToo slow again today lost track of time :p
ReplyDeleteJanney no hubby..but I love me her
ReplyDeleteMegan Mullally?
ReplyDeleteNo clue if she's ever been a BI though.
I have no idea if this guess is right, but I have to chuckle at the idea of Nick Offerman/Ron Swanson organizing and throwing a huge party. Nothing but bacon and scotch on the menu.
Delete@th47 hahaha yeah I can totes see that. I don't think he's wealthy though, at least not as much as the BI is implying and Megan probably has more money due to W&G.
DeleteBut brad grey Julia hubby a comic writer..dontvsee I that..wealthy I think businessman
ReplyDeleteLucci good guess her hubby wealthy Austrian bizman
ReplyDeleteImma throw in Jane Leeves just to make a guess. But I think its JLD
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful all around! Her w the fundraising, her husband actually paying attention and throwing her a party, and those that she has helped not only directly benefited but they also got a chance to say thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanx to SMG Lucci has probably been in blinds before
ReplyDeleteTo be different..throwing in Kathie Lee Gifford. She is extremely active in charity and has been A for decades through talkshowtelevision etc
ReplyDeleteSusan Lucci hated smg.
ReplyDeleteJulia probably hated Kramer too. Her husband is rich as well
DeleteSuge, no SMG hated Lucci. Lucci did used to be a bitch.
DeleteJulia is rich because of her dad not her husband. She has the money in that pair.
ReplyDeleteJane, julia doesnt have any family money, just her own. From a show you may have heard of- seinfeld.
DeleteSure she's rich on her own but her dad is a billionaire. Point is, she has earned more than brad hall.
DeleteIf they threw her a party, then it shouldn't be a blind. Make it public, and give her the positive feedback she deserves. Her example could help other wealthy people to follow in her footsteps.
ReplyDeleteAnd Frank Gifford wealthy ex football challenge biz guy tv personality
ReplyDeleteOne more to think about-- Susan St. James hubby Dick Ebersol. Co-star Rock Hudson mebbe?
ReplyDeleteSo she's private married to a rich man and has been around over 20 years…got nothing
ReplyDeleteI like the Susan Lucci guess. She is A list, an actress, and has a well defined niche. Is she married to someone well off?
ReplyDeleteSusan is involved in AtFib which her husband has. May explain why he is so intent on honoring her.
ReplyDeleteLove the Susan Lucci guess, though I wish it were JLD. Check this out:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/susan-lucci
La Lucci is a good guess. Especially if the nightmare former co-star is SMG. SMG has talked about hating Lucci publicly but never vice versa
ReplyDeleteJust to throw in another name for the hell of it, Jane Curtin.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this is probably Lucci. But why is it a blind if this was a bloody party?
ReplyDeletePatricia Heaton gives so much to charity and never touts it. Has to be Patricia.
ReplyDeleteI like the Susan Lucci guess. I heard that she is really nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for the Susan Lucci guess, especially with the SMG revel today.
ReplyDeleteMary Tyler Moore and Juvenile Diabetes. Husband is Grant Tinker. Co-star Asner?
ReplyDeleteI think her Tinker marriage tanked decades ago when they worked together on MTM show. Isn't she married to the cosmetic surgeon who did that to her face?
DeleteCommon, she is married to a heart surgeon. And shes pretty out of it now and i dont think they hv much of a relationship.
DeleteI doubt Kathie Lee's hubby still has the wherewithal to throw anything.
ReplyDeleteThrowing out Roma Downey who is married to Mark Burnett. She is involved with Operation Smile.
ReplyDeleteI like that Roma guess
ReplyDeleteI also like the Roma guess. But who was her nasty co-star?
ReplyDeleteI loved the episode of Hot in Cleveland where the Wendie Malick character gets a small role in a soap opera with Susan Lucci. I caught of quick glimpse of Lucci in Vegas. So petite and looking glam.

ReplyDeleteroma's costar was the black woman w/ the white streak down her hair.. camera hog.. preacher i think. always on every talk show everywhere
ReplyDeletedella reese
ReplyDeleteI definitely think this is LaLucci. She is in the news today, selling her Hamptons home for $20 million, and she has always taken the classy, high road when speaking of her time with SMG. Speaking of SMG, Kimberly McCulough, who was once engaged to Freddie was throwing shade via twitter yesterday. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteShut the front door! Robin Scorpio was engaged to FPJ?!!
DeletePatricia Heaton's good guess. Julianne Margulies? Hubby not in the biz, worked with lots of people. Jane leeves? Have no idea about her hubby tho.
ReplyDeleteBut does Roma even work as an actress anymore let alone was she ever A list in her niche?
ReplyDeleteTina, sometimes. She had so much done to her face she cant even talk anymore lol. I like how she has reinvented herself as so holy. She was divorced, had long term affair with married actir whose wife had MS, then aggair with the male angel on the show. Then she marries Burnett, and suddenly shes the holy mother on earth, making religious movies and talking all catholic-ey. Makes ya laugh.
DeleteI'm onboard with the Lucci guess, her hubs would track something like this to, I remember it an interview with him also.
ReplyDeleteWhoever it is, i wish it was me that helped all those people.
ReplyDeleteJulia Louis Dreyfus's father is a Multi - Billionaire.
ReplyDeleteGoogle "Gérard Louis-Dreyfus" and "Louis Dreyfus Energy Services" and "Louis Dreyfus Group".
I don't think this can be Mary Tyler Moore. There have been some situations where the police were called to her home, I believe. And I believe she is, sadly, quite ill now from diabetes.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this a blind? Things like that should be spelled out!
ReplyDeleteSusan Lucci is a chair for Little Flower children and family services in NY
ReplyDeleteGends, I think the common belief about MTM is that she has dementia, hence the police calls. BUT she is no longer married to Grant Tinker. That was done years ago. And whoever her Plastic Surgeon hubby is, I would never go to him. As Alan Cumming said, she looks like a burn victim.
ReplyDeleteGoing with the Lucci guess.
The whole time reading this I thought JLD.
ReplyDeleteJust throwing out Marlo Thomas. She was on a hit show ("That Girl") and her father Danny Thomas founded St. Jude's Hospital which treats child cancer patients for free. Also she's married to Phil Donahue.
ReplyDeleteSorry, St. Jude's treats children with catastrophic illnesses, not just cancer:
ReplyDeleteSt. Jude's wikipedia page
I like the JLD guess. Heard she's real good people.
ReplyDeleteLove your new picture!
DeleteTina Fey/Alec Baldwin? I know nothing about her husband, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Jane Pauley? I"m sure hated Bryant Gumbal, husband is Gary Trudeu. She suffers from depression and has spoken about it publicly.

ReplyDeleteI agree that Susan Lucci is a good guess for this. I've never seen her as a reveal to a blind. She only ever appears in photos or in member discussion of Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was A list for 41 years as Erica Kane (the television niche being daytime television.) She's never trashed Sarah Michelle Gellar in the press even though they did not get along (to put it mildly.) And her husband is wealthy in his own right.
ReplyDeleteGood for her if it is her!
Niche probably indicates daytime and I know tons of actors and actresses in Daytume who devote much of their free time to charities etc so it would hard to pinpoint here. Melody Thomas Scott is one that comes to mind (nobody could stand that pig Micheal Muhney).
ReplyDeleteEllen Pompeo
ReplyDeleteChristine B with Cybil S for the costar
ReplyDeleteJLD is an heiress - her father is a billionaire and her mother is a special needs teacher so that may be the cause. But her husband is Brad Hall, a former SNL player/writer and not rich.
ReplyDeleteSusan Lucci and Little Flower Children's Services of New York.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a guess but to whomever it is...KUDOS. You are one class act.
