80s movie bombshell unrecognizable after quitting fame and escaping stalker nightmare! Can you guess who?

Fans of The Fall Guy might remember Heather Thomas as the stunning stunt double-turned-bounty hunter who shared the screen with Lee Majors in the ’80s.

Besides being an actress, Thomas was also a model who graced posters in bedrooms and dorms across the country. However, once The Fall Guy wrapped in 1986, she slowly pulled back from Hollywood and eventually stepped away from acting completely at the age of just 41.

Recently, gorgeous Heather Thomas opened up of the reasons that led to the decision to end her acting career.

Speaking on Still Here Hollywood podcast with Steve Kmetko, she explained that her role of Jody Banks came with a toll—a flood of stalkers that simply wouldn’t leave her alone.

The former actress revealed that the situation was “really bad” and that at one point, she was dealing with “at least two a week.”

“I had tons of restraining orders,” she further shared, adding: “I had two little girls, and a guy’s jumping our gate with a giant buck knife. In those days, I don’t know if this is true now, but people would fixate. You could be in a soap commercial, and they would fixate on you.”

She explained that at the time “there weren’t a lot of stalker laws, and I just needed to be home anyway.”

Thomas recalled: “Someone sent me a box of bullets, and people would send me funeral wreaths they stole from a graveyard,” and that she “always had a bodyguard in the house because that’s where I didn’t want to come home to a dark house.”

She shared one specific incident where she was forced to shoot one of her stalkers. “I had one guy one night cut my screen in my bedroom and got in, and I shot him,” she revealed. The gun didn’t have any real bullets but gun salt, and she never learned if the perpetrator was ever jailed.

During her time on The Fall Guy, Thomas took on a role in the 1982 teen comedy Zapped! with Scott Baio and guest-starred on The Love Boat and T.J. Hooker. Later, she appeared in films such as Cyclone (1987), several TV movies, and smaller projects, including Red Blooded American Girl, with her final film being My Giant (1998).

In 1992, Thomas married entertainment attorney Harry Marcus “Skip” Brittenham.

The couple have three daughters, Shauna and Kristina from Brittenham’s previous marriage, and daughter India whom they welcomed in 2000.

Man’s final wish to see his dog before execution leads to an unforgettable moment that changed everything

A touching story from a rural town found its way to the hearts of many. It wasn’t a story of crime and punishment, as everyone thought it would be, but one of loyalty and love like no other.

What started as a last wish of a man who was about to be executed, turned into something much bigger. It turned into a story of redemption and connections that go beyond what words can describe.

As the man’s final moments of his life approached, he was granted one last wish. What he said next, surprised the guards. He didn’t ask for any special food or a person he loved. He wanted to see his dog one last time.

For many, hearing such a wish could sound strange, but not to the people who knew the man and his dog, and their friendship that lasted a lifetime. In fact, the two were inseparable for years. The dog was with him through thick and thin. It was the best companion anyone could ever ask for.

The authorities granted the man’s wish and took the dog to the facility. Everyone who was present, including guards, officials, and witnesses, stood there quietly, waiting to see what was going to happen.

The moment the dog spotted its owner, it felt like the world stopped spinning. He immediately ran towards him, wagging its tail, and trembling with joy. It was an emotional reunion between two friends.

Even the toughest guards couldn’t hide their tears. The man wrapped his arms around his dog, whispering words only they understood. The dog rested his head on his owner’s shoulder, refusing to leave. It wasn’t just goodbye but a symbol of love, peace, and a bond that no one could ever break.

My bride slipped me a note asking me to ‘say no at the altar’ — it sounded crazy, but I trusted her plan

When I met Emily, I somehow felt that she was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. From the moment she entered the office, her presence radiated calmness and peace, the same two feelings she soon brought into my life.

Three years forward, we were planning our wedding and our life together. Honestly, Emily has always been loved by everyone, except for one person, her stepmother Margaret.

When she saw the ring I proposed Emily with, she asked if the diamond was real or one of the fake ones, grown in a lab.

She wanted to be involved in the planning of our wedding, but only because she wanted to make mean comments, judging our choices every step of the way.

“Oh, Emily, do you thing there is really need for such a big venue, you don’t have a lot of friends anyways,” she’d say, ironically.

She commented on the choice of the wedding dress, saying it looked cheap and that it would look better to someone with a better figure.

It has always been “small” things like that that Margaret would say at every chance she got.

When I asked Emily about it, she told me that her stepmom made her life a living hell while growing up, but whenever she tried to bring that up in front of her father, he wouldn’t believe her because Margaret pretended to like her in front of him.

So, fast forward to the day of our wedding, Emily slipped me a note that read, “Say no at the altar.”

I froze. However, I never doubted her judgement so I decided to play along because I knew she had something on her mind.

When the priest asked me if I take Emily to be my wife, I simply said, “No.” And that’s when Margaret showed her true face in front of everyone.

While everyone looked in confusion, she stood up and started laughing. “Well, well, well,” she said. “I told you. I told you all.”

“We spent so much on this wedding,” she snapped. “I told you it was pointless, a total waste of money. But no, you insisted on going along with this silly fantasy.” She threw her hands toward the decorated hall. “And for what? I told you this would happen!”

And she didn’t stop there. On the contrary, she told Emily that it was obvious this would happen since she wasn’t worth to marry a man like me. “You really thought he’d marry you?” she sneered. “I told you, sweetie. No one wants you.”

I wanted to defend Emily, but looking at how calm her face was, I stood quiet, knowing she asked me to say “no” for a reason.

“Thank you, Margaret,” Emily said confidently.

“For what?” Margaret asked.

“For showing your true colors.”

Emily turned to the guests, especially her father, and said, “Da, you always thought she was just strict, trying to make me responsible, but what she really did was tear me down every chance she got. I was never good enough, never pretty enough, never anything enough. She made me feel like a burden after Mom died.”

Emily continued, “So today I let her think she had won. Because I knew that if Adam said no, she wouldn’t be able to hide her reaction. And now you see the truth, don’t you, Dad?”

Not only her father, but everyone who heard Margaret’s words realized how much she disliked Emily.

Margaret scoffed. “Oh, please. He was never going to marry you. I just called it before it happened.”

Emily smiled. “That’s where you’re wrong. Because he is going to marry me.”

I stepped forward, taking her hands. “Damn right, I am.”

Emily’s dad asked Margaret to leave, and we proceeded with the wedding. It was the best day of our lives.

Eventually, Emily’s dad and Margaret reconciled, but at least he knew what kind of woman she has always been. As of us, we cut every contact with her for good.

Experts Are Shedding Light on the ‘Death Rattle’ Phenomenon Before Passing

When someone is nearing the end of life, their body undergoes many changes, some of which may occur months before their passing. However, in the final 24 hours, loved ones may witness a common and often unsettling phenomenon—a noise known as the ‘death rattle.’

What is the ‘Death Rattle’?

According to Medical News Today, the ‘death rattle’ is caused by changes in breathing patterns and the buildup of secretions in the throat. Hospice Nurse Julie, an expert in end-of-life care, describes the sound:

“This is just a collection of a small bit of saliva in the back of the throat that just sounds really bad.”

Julie adds that fever is also common during this stage:

“We lose the ability to control the core temperature, so our temperature will fluctuate at the end of life. Again, it’s all very normal and part of the death and dying process if you are dying naturally at home.”

What Does the ‘Death Rattle’ Sound Like?

The ‘death rattle’ occurs when a person’s ability to swallow diminishes, allowing secretions to build up in the respiratory tract. The sound is often described as a “crackling, wet noise” that grows louder with each breath.

Some describe it as a faint groaning or snoring sound, while others liken it to a louder gurgling noise. Despite its alarming nature, it’s important to note that the individual is not experiencing pain or discomfort during this process.

Research shows that the average lifespan after the onset of the death rattle is around twenty-five hours. However, the process tends to last longer for those receiving hospice care compared to hospital patients.

What Can You Do to Ease the ‘Death Rattle Noise’?

While the ‘death rattle’ is a natural part of the dying process, there are ways to reduce its intensity to comfort those nearby:

  • Turn the person onto their side to allow secretions to drain.
  • Raise their head slightly to promote drainage.
  • Moisten their mouth with damp swabs to keep it hydrated.
  • Use suction to remove secretions when appropriate.
  • Limit fluid intake to prevent excessive secretions.
  • Administer medications designed to clear secretions, as prescribed by medical professionals.

It’s important to understand that while these measures can help reduce the noise, they likely won’t eliminate it entirely. Medical professionals can provide explanations and support to help loved ones cope with the situation.

A Natural Process

The ‘death rattle’ may sound distressing to family and friends, but it’s a natural stage of the dying process. Loved ones should take solace in knowing that the individual is not in pain or distress.

Understanding the phenomenon and its implications can help bring comfort and clarity during this difficult time. By being present and informed, families can focus on providing love and support as their loved one transitions peacefully.

Major security arrest tightens net around presidential protection

50-year-old Nathalie Rose Jones, a woman from Indiana, was arrested after joining a demonstration near the White House and charged with two felony counts over a series of death threats she posted on the social media, both Instagram and Facebook, targeting US President Donald Trump.

Before the arrest took place, officials from the US Secret Service monitored the Instagram account “nath.jones” from August 2 to August 9, during which they reportedly found threatening comments about Trump.

According to the press release, Jones allegedly branded Trump a terrorist, referred to his administration as a dictatorship, and blamed him for the “extreme and unnecessary loss of life” caused by COVID-19.

The arrest was announced by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a Trump ally and former Fox News anchor, who vowed “she will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

“Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution. Make no mistake – justice will be served,” Pirro said, as per the Daily Mail.

A post from Jones’ account which she shared on August 6 read, “I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present.” In another post from August 11, she wrote, “Listen up, Donald J. Trump. I’m psychotic.”

On August 14, she wrote directly to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth pleading with him to “arrange the arrest and removal ceremony of POTUS Trump as a terrorist on the American People from 10-2pm at the White House on Saturday, August 16th, 2025.”

The Secret Service conducted a voluntary interview with Jones on August 15, where she reportedly labeled Trump a “terrorist” and a “Nazi.”

She allegedly added that, if given the opportunity, she would kill him at “the compound” using “a bladed object.”

She then blamed Trump of the death of those who lost their lives during the pandemic, claiming the reason were the vaccines, adding she wanted to avenge all the lives lost.

The very next day, August 16, Jones appeared at a protest near the White House, which raised alarms among federal officials.

Given her earlier statements and alleged threats, being near the President’s residence was considered a credible security threat.

Jones has been formally charged with transmitting threats across state lines and threatening the President of the United States, both of which are federal offenses. If found guilty, she could be serving prison time.

Officials point to the case as a demonstration of their persistent focus on protecting national leaders and maintaining law and order in the face of political extremism.

Tom Cruise rejected Donald Trump: The untold story behind the snub

Donald Trump extended an invitation to actor Tom Cruise to be a recipient of the Kennedy Center’s Lifetime Achievement this year but the Mission Impossible star wasn’t interested. The real reason Cruise rejected the US president has now been revealed, and many believe he is just desperately trying to stay away from making a political stance.

According to social media users who took their time to share their opinion on the matter on X, the megastar was wise to keep his distance from politics.

“I don’t blame Cruise, honestly,” one person commented. “Tom was in the middle of public perception for years and has finally dug himself out of it… avoid politics like the plague, it’s the way.”

Another said: “… I am so glad he refuses to have anything to do with Trump,” while a third wrote, “I don’t think Cruise is making a political statement for or against Trump. I think he’s just wisely staying out of the political arena altogether.”

According to the Washington, D.C. arts center, the award “recognizes and celebrates individuals whose unique artistic contributions have shaped our world.”

The five recipients who will be honored in December are country music singer George Strait, rock band KISS, Broadway star Michael Crawford, singer Gloria Gaynor and actor Sylvester Stallone, the Independent writes.

According to the Washington Post, Cruise declined due to scheduling conflicts.

Back in February, Trump announced on social media that he had found an “amazing” chairman to take the Kennedy Center reins: Himself.

“Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP,” he wrote at the time. “The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation.”

Boasting about being “98% involved” in the selection of this year’s honourees, Trump also stated that although he didn’t campaign to be part of the awards, he still enjoyed the idea of being on TV again.

This year’s Kennedy Center Honors ceremony will take place on Dec. 7 and will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

During the wedding, my mother-in-law came over and ripped my wig off

My battle with cancer was a long and a tiring one, but I had my people around me, and I ended up winner. The day I got my “cancer-free” diagnosis, my boyfriends proposed and we decided to have our wedding as soon as possible.

But on what was supposed to be the best day of my life, my mother-in-law tried to humiliate me in front of everyone in attendance. She was well-aware my hair didn’t grow enough for the wedding and that I had a wig, but she wanted everyone to know that little secret of mine. Out of the blue, she came up and ripped off my wig, revealing my bald head to the entire room. “See? She’s bald! I told you!” she yelled in front of the guests.

All of a sudden, my wedding turned into a nighmare.

I stood there in the church, shocked and surrounded by whispers and stares, feeling completely exposed. And then, something happened that no one expected, something that made my mother-in-law instantly regret what she had done.

Although she believed she had won, her moment of victory was short-lived.

My friend Sarah came to my rescue. Her bold move and her words broke through the tension. She was with me through my battle with cancer, and she now saved my wedding. “How dare you humiliate someone who has already battled so hard to stand here today?” she said, and her words echoed in the church.

Before long, many of the guests joined in, and not only my friends and relatives, by my husband’s family, too. “You’re beautiful just the way you are,” someone said, while another added, “She’s a survivor, and that’s more than admirable.” 

My husband was angry at his mother. “Mom, how can be so cruel to someone that means the world to me. You owe her an apology,” he told his mother, who at that moment realized that she was the villain in our story.

It was obvious that she was embarrassed by what she did to me. She obviously believed that our guests would laugh at me and my bald head, but she couldn’t be more wrong. Everyone there was so compassionate that it brought tears to my eyes.

Her action, however, no matter how cruel it was, helped me understand that my hair, or better said the lack of it, didn’t define who I was. From feeling ashamed, I suddenly felt liberated and decided to continue with the wedding without the wig on. It was who I was and I loved myself for my bravery.

My husband and I walked down the aisle into our new life together.

What those strange skin patterns might really mean

According to Joseph Jorizzo, MD, from Wake Forest University, “your skin can be a window to your underlying health.” The truth is that the skin isn’t just a shield but a powerful communicator of your internal health.

Unexpected changes in your skin can sometimes be the body’s first warning that something more serious is happening internally and understanding these signs allows you to spot potential problems early and seek appropriate care.

Livedo reticularis (LR), also known as mottled skin, is a type of skin discoloration that can occur if there is an interruption of blood flow to the skin. According to a study on this condition, LR is often a temporary, harmless phenomenon that is the result of exposure to cold temperatures or stress, but can sometimes appear due to certain underlying health issues.

It appears as a purplish, net-like or lace-patterned discoloration on the arms or the legs and mostly impacts babies and assigned females between the ages of 20 and 50.

Mottled skin appears when the blood flow close to the skin’s surface changes, which can be caused by low oxygen levels in the blood, blood vessel spasms, or shifts in circulation. It can also be a result of certain medical conditions or a side effect of certain drugs and medications — mostly from amantadine (dopamine agonist used to treat Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The discoloration typically becomes more noticeable in cold weather and may fade when the skin warms up.

There are two forms of this condition: Physiological (Primary) Livedo Reticularis — a benign and temporary reaction to cold temperatures common in children, young adults, or people with fair skin, and Pathological (Secondary) Livedo Reticularis — more persistent and linked to underlying health problems such as autoimmune diseases, vascular disorders, or blood clotting abnormalities.

According to Verywell Heath, LR can be triggered by cold, septic shock, antiphospholipid syndrome, lupus, certain meds, rheumatoid arthritis, pancreatitis, thyroid disease, and at people who are nearing their life.

Although uncommon, livedo reticularis may sometimes indicate severe systemic illnesses, including Sneddon’s syndrome, a condition that links the skin pattern with stroke risk—polyarteritis nodosa, or cholesterol embolization.

For primary livedo reticularis no treatment is typically required as it usually fades away by itself if the body is kept warm. For secondary livedo reticularis, however, a doctor may prescribe you medications such as anticoagulants (to prevent clots), corticosteroids (for inflammation), or drugs that improve circulation. Also, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes that will likely include quitting smoking, regular exercises, and managing blood pressure and cholesterol.
