The cast of MobLand will all be returning for season 2 — but who will be part of season 3 after rumors of a cast member being fired?

The hit crime drama, which premiered in 2025, follows Harry (Tom Hardy) as a fixer working for the Harrigan crime family led by Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve (Helen Mirren). Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon and Mandeep Dhillon also star.

Concern about the show’s future arose after multiple reports released in 2026 claiming there was drama behind the scenes on set. (Mobland had already completed production for season 2 amid plans for a renewal).

According to Puck, Hardy was allegedly fired from the series after filming wrapped on season 2. A source told The Hollywood Reporter at the time that Hardy “refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time.”

Variety, meanwhile, reported that Hardy “was not fired,” with an insider close to production claiming that “the door is not closed for season 3 and things are being worked through creatively.”

Hardy’s rumored exit wasn’t the first time MobLand faced speculation about offscreen drama. In December 2025, the Daily Mail reported that Mirren wasn’t thrilled by Hardy’s lateness, which she addressed in a light-hearted manner.

“Things I love,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “Tom Hardy for his brilliance on screen [and] his dedication off screen.”

Mirren went on to praise Hardy’s “good heart” and “especially the HardyHugs I get when onset with him which is not nearly enough in my opinion.”

Keep scrolling to see who will — and won’t — return in season 2:

Taina Williams Shares Repairman Story With Fans

Williams started her story time by revealing that she took her G Wagon to get one of its scratched rims fixed. She said the guy who did the repair took her car for a “joyride, for a night out.” Taina also said that buddy had “multiple” girls in her vehicle, but she definitely didn’t let the incident slide.

“…I went crazy. Like, I can’t even believe how unprofessional someone could be? And then leave evidence. They left evidence,” Taina Williams said.

Afterward, she took her fans on a tour of the inside of vehicle the repairman used. The evidence left behind included a red solo cup, ruined pink floor mats, makeup on her custom pink seats, hair strands and a McDonald’s receipt. Her caption on the video read, “My blood is boiling.” Williams said her car was completely spotless at drop-off and that even her kids don’t get in that particular car. She added that her car was given to a trusted person who handles their vehicles, and he passed it off to the person who took it on a joyride. She wants him exposed, but said no one will share the man’s Instagram. “Then, they give me my car back with no gas,” Taina added, saying that she can’t sleep at night following him getting away with it.

Social Media Users Are Crackin’ Up At Tai-Tai’s Story

After The Shade Room reposted the clip on Instagram, the roommates wasted no time flooding the comment section with reactions. Some people got a good kiii out of the situation. Others mentioned the man recently arrested for scamming at least 26 woman out of $1.3 million by posing as an NFL player and investor. A few more sided with Taina Williams to expose the repairman, and also called for the “trusted” person who handed over the vehicle to be called out.

@jryanil commented, “Presssss chargessssss they all going to jail smh.”

“Lmaoooo I had this happen with valet but Lexus car app shows you location and gives you updates!! I called the valet company so quick like bring my sh*t back!!!!!,” @cinderellea_ said.

“This happened at the dealership with my old Lexus!!!!!!! They sent it to a detail shop and we tracked it all over town that weekend😂😂😂,” @alexatequila added.

“Exactly why I be taking my car to the mechanic with no gas in it😭my shit be saying ‘fuel reserve 20mi’ 🤣,” @kaykinoee joked.

“Whoever you gave your car to, that is who should be tagged and exposed since he is protecting the person of interest lol,” @markchoppa commented.

“I saw a chick on tiktok pull up to the date with the POLICE!!! Because, “fix my car! Why are you at a restaurant with a babe??” 🤔🤯,” @bri.ni replied.

“That happened to my mom. She took her car to a new shop for a belt to be replaced. The guy let his 17 year old daughter drive it to the store. We got a call my mothers car was totaled. She won in court and he closed the shop,” @day_teisha added.

“I wish she would’ve taken it to the Dealership rather than a “trusted person”. It’s evident that “trusted person” can’t be trusted,” @sincerly_nasirah_ said.

Taina & G Herbo’s Family Keep The Jokes Coming

Christine Wonsley Shares Birthday Post With Baby Picture Of Nolan Wells

Christine Wonsley shared a message to her late son on Threads on Wednesday, noting that she and Nolan called themselves “birth date twins.” Nolan would have celebrated his birthday on August 19.

“It’s my birthday month and you aren’t here to celebrate with me,” she wrote. “I always joked and said we were “almost” birth date twins. We both have milestone birthdays this year and you’re gone. My heart hurts so badly. Guys pray for me because this is the hardest reality I’ve ever had to face. #JusticeForNolanWells #IStandForNolan #NolanMatters.”

The Shade Room reported that Nolan was found dead off of Horn Island two days after he went missing. The teen had been on a Fourth of July outing with a group of mostly white friends. Discrepancies unveiled during the investigation prompted the family to hire civil rights attorney Ben Crump. Subsequently, the lawyer called for transparency.

Wonsley Shared A Video Of Nolan’s 19th Birthday Cake On Instagram

Wonsley recognized her son’s 19th birthday on August 19, and she shared a video of his birthday. The Dolce Bakeshop made the cake for the family.

“Brooke at @dolcebakeshopms blessed our sweet sonshine, Nolan, with this beautiful birthday cake! Our family absolutely enjoyed every bit of this masterpiece,” she wrote. “Thank you again 🩵. #JusticeForNolanWells #IStandForNolan #NolanLifeMatters.”

Wonsley Will Be Honored By The National Asian Pacific American Women Forum

The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum is honoring Wonsley at the organization’s 30-year anniversary. The event is in Los Angeles next month. Wonsley shared NAPAWFs post that includes a photograph with Nolan and her husband, Elmore, on Instagram to note the event. The NAPAWF captioned the post:

“This October, we are proud to recognize Christine Wells-Wonsley as an honoree at NAPAWF’s 30th anniversary event in Los Angeles,” it reads. “Christine is the mother of Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old Black and Filipino American young man whose death has left his family grieving and searching for answers. A Black and Filipina nurse practitioner who has spent her career caring for others, Christine is now demonstrating immense courage and determination as she advocates for her own family and calls for a transparent investigation.”

“Our organization was founded to ensure AANHPI women have the power to advocate for themselves, their families, and their communities. We are honored to uplift Christine as she embodies this mission and continues to fight for Nolan. A portion of funds raised through the evening will support the Wells-Wonsley family through this incredibly difficult time.”

Inde Navarrette is continuing her rapid rise in Hollywood, signing on to both star in and executive produce Apple Original Films’ upcoming sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index.

Apple has acquired the project, which will come from Apple Studios with Plan B Entertainment producing. Louis Paxtonis set to direct from a screenplay written by Andrew Nunnelly.

For Navarrette, the project represents another major step forward following the massive success of Obsession, while also giving the actress a significant role behind the camera as an executive producer.

A Waffle House, Killer Crocodiles and Aliens

Despite its unusual title, The Waffle House Index appears ready to take audiences on an even stranger ride than its name suggests.

The film centers on a Waffle House waitress whose already difficult night takes a dangerous turn when an armed stranger arrives during her shift.

From there, things escalate dramatically.

Inde Navarrette for Schön!

The story reportedly involves a massive flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a mysterious bunker beneath the Waffle House and even aliens, combining elements of disaster movies, survival thrillers and science fiction into one ambitious story.

The title itself is inspired by the real-world “Waffle House Index,” an informal method of measuring the severity of a natural disaster based on whether local Waffle House restaurants are able to remain operational.

The concept generally uses three levels. Green indicates a restaurant is operating normally, yellow signals limited service or supplies, while red means the restaurant has closed entirely and conditions in the surrounding area could be severe.

That real-world concept appears to serve as the jumping-off point for a movie that quickly ventures into much bigger sci-fi territory.

Navarrette’s Breakout Run Continues

The Waffle House Index arrives as Navarrette continues what has become a breakout period in her career.

She currently stars as Nikki Freeman in Obsession, the horror thriller that became a major theatrical success after earning strong attention following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Navarrette’s performance has also generated awards attention, with Focus Features reportedly preparing a Best Actress Oscar campaign for the actress.

Her career is expanding well beyond Obsession.

Navarrette has also landed the role of Rogue in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men film and is attached to the upcoming horror project Invertigo.

Before her recent run of major film roles, Navarrette appeared as Estela de la Cruz in 13 Reasons Why and played Sarah Cushing on Superman & Lois. Her other credits include Trap House and Wander Darkly.

Now, The Waffle House Index gives Navarrette the opportunity to take another major step in her career by serving as both the film’s leading star and an executive producer.

Apple has not yet announced a release date for The Waffle House Index.

Tyreek Hill has apparently decided to have a little fun with one of the wildest NFL-related stories making rounds online. And while Daejon Love allegedly used Hill’s name to help build his larger-than-life football persona, Hill is now flipping the script and joking about the supposed connection himself.

In the clip, Love reportedly claimed Hill was one of his closest friends and said the two trained together. Hill appeared to play along in a TikTok, jokingly calling Love his “bestie” and claiming they used to train together, even saying Love “ran like a 4.2” and was “really nasty.” Hill also joked that the beach clips circulating online were probably Love “trolling and having a good time.” The video reportedly gained more than 2 million views on X after being used by Love to bolster his alleged NFL connections.

Daejon Love’s Alleged NFL Persona Targeted 26 Women

As previously reported, Love allegedly maintained a fake NFL identity from 2022 until his Aug. 24 arrest in Boise, Idaho. Investigators allege he used the persona in romance and investment schemes targeting roughly 26 women, with alleged losses totaling about $1.3 million. Love reportedly named Hill, Antonio Brown, and former Buffalo Bills receiver John Brown among his closest NFL friends, but John Brown quickly pushed back after seeing the claims, writing on Facebook, “Boy I never met you stop all that lying!!”

Daejon Love Allegedly Went All-In On Fake NFL Persona

Authorities allege Love went as far as obtaining customized 49ers gear, creating fake financial documents and Instagram content, and presenting himself as an NFL player who had received a lucrative offer from San Francisco. He also allegedly claimed to come from a wealthy Swiss family, worked in real estate, and, in another alleged scheme, presented himself as related to Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Love and 18-year-old Taylor Jamie Chan face federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.

When the clocks go back, it’s not just our sleep schedules that need a little adjusting. Suddenly, the sun seems to clock out before we do, leaving us commuting home in the dark and wondering where the daylight went. While there’s no substitute for getting outside, moving your body and soaking up whatever sunshine you can, your wellness routine can work harder for you as the seasons shift.

Oceanblue Professional Omega-3 2100 with Vitamin K2 & D3 is an easy addition to your daily routine. The addition of vitamin D in the softgel bolsters your immune system, nervous system and bone health. Consider it a small way to keep your routine going when the sun insists on setting before dinner.

Get the Oceanblue Professional Omega-3 2100 with Vitamin K2 & D3 Softgels for $35 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

If your wellness routine already has enough bottles competing for counter space, Oceanblue’s formula takes a two-birds-one-softgel approach. Each daily serving delivers 2,100 milligrams of long-chain omega-3s, including 1,350 milligrams of EPA, 600 milligrams of DHA and 150 milligrams of DPA, along with vitamin K2 and D3. The concentrated formula packs considerably more omega-3s than a standard 1,000-mg fish oil capsule, while supporting cardiovascular, cognitive, eye, joint and everyday immune health.

And because fish oil has a reputation for making its presence known long after you’ve swallowed it, the softgels use a “burpless” orange oil technology designed to avoid that dreaded fishy aftertaste. The omega-3s come from wild-caught fish like anchovies, sardines, herring and mackerel, and the oil goes through 27 rounds of molecular distillation. The result is a supplement that’s a little easier to work into your morning routine (even when it’s happening in total darkness).

The formula is non-GMO and gluten-free, with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. It’s available in several bottle sizes, with the brand estimating the daily cost at about a dollar, making it a relatively simple addition to the winter wellness lineup.

What makes a heist film thrilling and exciting? It is not always the robbery itself but often the elaborate planning, the rising tension, and the final execution that toys with the viewer’s patience, making them constantly wonder, “Will they get away with it?” For decades now, the best heist films have demonstrated the power to sweep viewers off their feet with stylish getaways, slick antiheroes, and a pursuit so big that it can tempt the audience as much as it tempts the characters.

While some focus on the detailed planning, others emphasize the extended exposition of the heist itself or the turbulent aftermath. Our curated list below includes some of the best heist films made in the 20th and 21st centuries, each of which has helped further define the genre with meticulous plans, clever twists, and memorable execution styles, becoming benchmarks in their own right. So, without further ado, here’s our ranked selection of some of the greatest heist movies of all time.

‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ (1968)

Image via United Artists

Starring Steve McQueen in one of his most famous and stylish films, The Thomas Crown Affair was directed by Norman Jewison and revolves around the titular protagonist, a millionaire businessman and sportsman who orchestrates a multi-million-dollar bank heist. When insurance investigator Vicki Anderson (Faye Dunaway) is hired to investigate, a high-stakes, seductive game ensues between Vicki and Thomas, blurring the lines between rivalry and romance. Paul Burke, Yaphet Kotto, Biff McGuire, and Jack Weston also star in notable roles.

Suave and sleek, The Thomas Crown Affair whisks its audience away into its world of high-fashion and sex appeal. While the film’s reviews at the time were mixed, it’s now regarded as a vintage classic caper that thrives on the chemistry between McQueen and Dunaway and their clever game of wits. Underscored by its Academy Award-winning music by Michel Legrand, The Thomas Crown Affair is one of the early examples of heist films that trade gritty realism for stylish escapism.

‘The Great Train Robbery’ (1978)

Image via United Artists

Directed by Michael Crichton and based on his 1975 novel of the same name, The Great Train Robbery (known as The First Great Train Robbery in the UK) dramatizes the real-life Great Gold Robbery of 1855, where three boxes of gold bullion and coins were stolen from a moving train in England. Aboard a train from London to Paris, criminal mastermind Edward Pierce plots an impossible and massive heist to steal a monthly shipment of gold with the help of his mistress Miriam, his chauffeur Barlow, and pickpocket/safe-cracker Robert. The film stars Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland, Lesley-Anne Down, and Alan Webb as key characters.

Dazzling and daring, The Great Train Robbery turns a historical crime story into a high-stakes puzzle that instantly engages and thrills the audience. Anchored by brilliant performances and a rich recreation of Victorian-era England, the film focuses entirely on the clever planning and execution of the robbery. Ranked among Michael Crichton’s greatest masterpieces, The Great Train Robbery is still memorable for its marvelous practical action, especially Sean Connery’s self-performed stunts that add real tension to the film’s climax.

6

‘The Italian Job’ (1969)

Directed by Peter Collinson and written by Troy Kennedy Martin, The Italian Job is a cult classic British comedy caper that stars Michael Caine in one of his most famous performances. The film follows him as Charlie Croker, a charming Cockney criminal who assembles a team of professional thieves to rob gold bullion transported in a security truck through the city of Turin, Italy. Noël Coward, Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, Tony Beckley, Rossano Brazzi, and Maggie Blye appear in other key roles.

The Italian Job is regarded as a cornerstone of British pop culture, featuring peak ’60s aesthetics and a famous catchphrase by Caine that became a symbolic cult feature. The film’s high-stakes plan, thrilling plot twists, and the iconic cliffhanger climax have since remained inspirational for several modern heist comedies. Massively popular at the time of its release, The Italian Job is a major landmark of British cinema, which has since been parodied, referenced, remade, and adapted, and it easily ranks among the top 100 British films of all time.

5

‘Inside Man’ (2006)

A critically acclaimed heist film by Spike Lee, Inside Man revolves around a high-stakes bank robbery on Wall Street led by criminal mastermind Dalton, which turns into a tense hostage situation. While the NYPD’s hostage negotiator, Detective Keith Frazier, matches wits with Dalton, a powerful fixer named Madeline gets involved with a hidden agenda, turning the crisis into a psychological game. Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster play the key characters, supported by Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Inside Man is unlike traditional heist films, moving away from meticulous planning or a perfect getaway and becoming more of a puzzle for the detective and the audience to solve together. It focuses on how the criminal pulls off the heist, narrated through a battle of wits and hidden agendas of its protagonists. Slick, highly stylized, and intelligent, with sharp social commentary, Inside Man ranks among the best bank heist movies of all time, and it’s also the highest-grossing film Spike Lee ever made.

‘Ocean’s Eleven’ (2001)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Steven Soderbergh’s reimagining of the 1960 film featuring the Rat Pack, Ocean’s Eleven is undeniably the film that established him as the master of modern heist films. The movie stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt as Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan, professional thieves and best friends, who assemble a group to carry out a major heist targeting three Las Vegas casinos owned by Terry Benedict (Andy García), a ruthless entrepreneur and the current lover of Danny’s ex-wife. The all-star cast also includes Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Casey Affleck, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould, Bernie Mac, and more.

Ocean’s Eleven not only launched the titular film series but also became a modern benchmark of the genre. Witty, slick, stylish, and fast-paced, the film boasts one of the most iconic robbery sequences of all time, which became definitive of 21st-century heist films. Pure entertainment in every frame, Ocean’s Eleven continues to earn acclaim decades later for its effortless style, sharp dialogue, and iconic ensemble cast, earning a place on the WGA’s 101 Greatest Screenplays of the 21st Century.

‘Ocean’s Twelve’ (2004)

Everett Collection

Following the worldwide success of Ocean’s Eleven, Soderbergh returned with a sequel and the second entry in the titular film series, which picks up three years after the events of the previous film. In Ocean’s Twelve, after Terry Benedict tracks down Danny Ocean and his crew of thieves and demands his stolen money back, the gang is forced to plan a series of complex heists in Europe while dodging a Europol detective and a rival master thief. Ocean’s Twelve adds Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vincent Cassel to the ensemble as new characters, alongside the returning main cast of the previous film.

Ocean’s Twelve deconstructs what Ocean’s Eleven started, trading the crew’s confidence for overconfidence, which brings a completely new dimension to the genre. Instead of clever planning and perfect execution, the sequel finds the crew out of their element as they devise a long con instead of quick robberies. But Ocean’s Twelve is fun and glossy nevertheless, featuring a more experimental visual style and a very worthy rival in Cassel’s Toulour to Clooney’s Danny.

2

‘Dog Day Afternoon’ (1975)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Sidney Lumet’s iconic crime drama biopic Dog Day Afternoon reimagines the real-life 1972 robbery and hostage situation led by John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile at a Chase Manhattan branch in Brooklyn, as chronicled in the Life magazine article “The Boys in the Bank” by P. F. Kluge and Thomas Moore. Portrayed by Al Pacino and John Cazale, the film follows first-time bank robbers, Sonny and Sal, whose plan for a quick bank heist falls apart, trapping them inside and leading to a hostage standoff as police and the media get involved. The movie also stars Chris Sarandon, Charles Durning, Carol Kane, Penelope Allen, and Lance Henriksen.

Dog Day Afternoon is not only one of the masterpieces of heist films but one of Lumet’s most iconic films that defined his crime filmography. Gritty, bold, and daring, the film is acclaimed for subverting genre expectations and focusing on a botched robbery rather than a successful crime. Headlined by Al Pacino’s critically acclaimed performance as Sonny Wojtowicz, Dog Day Afternoon is a brilliant heist film with high-stakes moral ambiguity and social realism.

‘Heat’ (1995)

Michael Mann’s classic ’90s action thriller starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in their first on-screen face-off, Heat follows LAPD detective Vincent Hanna, whose life’s mission is to catch Neil McCauley, a professional thief. When McCauley plans one big, last heist before he retires from his criminal career, he finds himself in a head-to-head battle of wits with Hanna, which also starts affecting their personal lives. The film’s stacked cast also features Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman, and Ted Levine in supporting roles.

Featuring some of the most iconic action scenes of late 20th-century Hollywood, Heat is a defining film of its decade and of its genre, noted for its fight choreography and realistic tactical action. Unlike traditional heist films, Heat turns its cops-and-robbers story into a grand tragedy headlined by the legendary first on-screen pairing of Pacino and De Niro. A masterpiece of crime thriller and character drama, Heat remains a major influence on the genre, even three decades later.

TLC Rep Gives Health Update On T-Boz

TLC representative Christal Jordan gave a health update on T-Boz amid her recent hospitalization and missed concert performances.

The artist, whose real name is Tionne Watkins, is reportedly recovering, according to USA Today. Jordan added that TLC’s Chilli would perform solo while T-Boz recovers.

“Tionne recently experienced a sickle cell crisis that required hospitalization, and she is currently recovering and regaining her strength,” the TLC rep said. “Because the It’s Iconic Tour is such an interactive show, we made the decision to continue, with Chilli performing and receiving incredible support from Salt-N-Pepa, En Vogue, and most importantly, the fans.”

Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which misshapen red blood cells affect the hemoglobin molecule, blocking blood flow to the body. Symptoms include sudden onset episodes of severe pain, chronic pain, stroke, lung problems, infections, eye problems, and kidney disease, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. An episode is also known as a crisis.

Chilli Performs Solo

Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas performed solo at a Connecticut show on August 28. In a video shared on TikTok, Chilli told the audience that T-Boz was getting better. She also asked fans to “hold her down.”

“So, obviously, my sister is not here right now, she, um, she has sickle cell,” Chilli said. “She’s so much better… I’m going to ask each and every one of you to help me hold her down tonight.”

Legendary feminist activist and journalist Gloria Steinem died on Wednesday, September 2. She was 92.

Steinem died “peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her,” said a post shared via both her and her foundation’s official Instagram accounts on Thursday, September 3.

The statement continued, “Gloria’s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.”

“Gloria’s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard. Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves,” the statement went on. “Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.”

Hollywood mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2026. In June, legendary music executive Clive Davis also died at age 94 following a hospitalization for an upper respiratory infection. The following month, G.R.L. member Lauren Bennett died at age 37, while Bonnie Tyler died at 75. Emergency!‘s Randolph Mantooth and Police […]

The post said, “She spent her recent years doing the two things she loved most: being in community with others and writing. She has welcomed hundreds of guests into her living room for Talking Circles, a tradition she insisted will continue long after she is no longer with us. As Gloria wrote in her forthcoming book, An Unexpected Life, ‘I have now lived for more than fifty years in this brownstone, in rooms that have witnessed lives before mine, and will know others after I am gone.’”

“This book, along with her commitment to her home becoming a center for social justice movements, are among the many gifts Gloria has given the world with the hope they have ripple effects for generations to come,” the statement added. “Gloria often quoted the adage: ‘The flap of a butterfly’s wing can change the weather hundreds of miles away.’”

“Gloria loved the tradition of lighting signal fires on hills to light the way to the other side of the mountain,” the post said. “Lighting your own candle for Gloria makes you part of this global and celestial community circle.”

“In lieu of flowers, Gloria has asked that those wishing to honor her with a gift, may make a donation to Gloria’s Foundation,” it concluded.

Steinem was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1934 but spent much of her years migrating between Michigan, Florida and California. After her parents divorced when she was 11, the activist spent much of her childhood caring for her mother, Ruth Steinem, who suffered from mental illness.

After graduating in 1956 from Smith College, where she studied government, Gloria established a career as a freelance writer. In the 1960s, she helped create New York magazine, covering important topics such as an abortion hearing given by the radical feminist group called the Redstockings.

Gloria’s activism career truly began when she formed the National Women’s Political Caucus in 1971 alongside figures such as Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan. That same year, she launched the feminist magazine Ms., which addressed important topics such as domestic violence. The journalist also helped co-found other women’s rights organizations such as Women’s Action Alliance (1971), the Women’s Media Center (2004), Voters for Choice (1977) and the Ms. Foundation for Women.

In 1983, the Ohio native released a collection of essays called Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions which explored the philosophy of feminism and Gloria’s own personal experiences. After facing a breast cancer diagnosis in 1986, the feminist organizer entered remission that same year and went on to release 10 more women’s rights books, including Marilyn: Norma Jean (1986), Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem (1992) and Moving Beyond Words: Age, Rage, Sex, Power, Money, Muscles: Breaking Boundaries of Gender (1994).

In 2013, the author was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, by former President Barack Obama.

“As a writer, a speaker, an activist, [Gloria Steinem] awakened a vast and often skeptical public to problems like domestic violence, the lack of affordable child care, unfair hiring practices,” Obama, 61, shared in his speech at the time the award was given. “And because of her work, across America and around the world, more women are afforded the respect and opportunities that they deserve.”

Despite insisting she would never marry, Gloria tied the knot with entrepreneur David Bale, Christian Bale’s father, in 2000. Three years later, David died from brain cancer at age 62.

In October 2022, Gloria self-published an essay for Vanity Fair talking about how she still remains hopeful despite dealing with a global pandemic and living in a post-Roe world. (The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which enshrined the constitutional right to abortion, in June 2022.)

“When I am asked how I ‘still’ keep going — and I’m asked that a lot at my age — I say it’s because action is infinitively interesting. You might be someone who knows the law and can help navigate legislatively,” the famous feminist wrote at the time. “You might be a health care worker who can provide care and support, regardless of what the law says, or you might be really good at social media and spreading information and friendship. It’s rare that any one of us can solve a big problem, but collectively, we can do anything.”

Dolly Parton was laid to rest on August 28, following her passing on the 25th. Now, several days later, the cousin of the late country music icon is opening up about her burial ceremony, revealing that it wasn’t a funeral in the traditional sense, and discussing the private health battle that led to her death at 80.

Parton’s first cousin, Richie Owens, appeared on “Today” on September 3 to discuss the icon’s legacy and share details about her burial. First, he pushed back against those who have called the occasion a funeral.

According to Owens, “The word keeps getting brought up, ‘funeral,’ and I don’t believe that was really the case in this situation. It was a burial, to be buried beside her husband. And she wanted it very small, and a few family members were there.”

He then said, “Other people that I’m sure would’ve liked to have been there were either out doing other things and stuff. It was very quiet, very quickly done, and not for any bad reasons whatsoever; it’s just that’s what she wanted. She wanted to keep it very, very private.”

From there, Owens also stated that Parton would have preferred resources that would have been used for a traditional funeral be put toward some other worthy cause.

He explained, “That’s exactly what she said … when that happens to her, when she passes, she would much rather see people take that $50 you should spend on flowers and give it to her Imagination Library.”

Owens, who also serves as the Parton family historian, discussed her health leading up to her death in the “Today” interview. Notably, the news came after her death that the county music legend had endured a private battle with cancer.

He stated, “She, of course, posted herself that she had been going through health problems, but no one really knew what a lot of that was, including myself.”

From there, Owens shared why Parton wasn’t completely forthcoming about her health. According to him, “She always kept things private because she always wanted to keep everybody being positive around her and put that out there in the world. Just, ‘Don’t worry about me, I’m going to be fine.’ Just show the love.”

Parton spoke to PEOPLE in late August 2026 about her upcoming SongTeller Hotel in Nashville, which is set to open in September. However, during the conversation, she was also asked about her health, which had led her to cancel a number of appearances in the months before she passed.

The late singer and actress said, “I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl.” Notably, her husband, Carl Dean, passed away in March 2025.

She continued, “It’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health. But I think because we live in a 24/7 world with social media, everything gets magnified in ways it wasn’t years ago.”

Parton went on, “I used to joke that I was the Queen of the Tabloids, but now I guess I can say I’m the Queen of Social Media AI! Seriously, though, even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’.”

However, Star continued, “All of these tributes have helped so much to help us all through it. I can’t remember a life without her. She would also tell us to start drying it up and start trying to get back to work and love each other real hard. She was just a trip.”
