Martin Gage, a veteran Hollywood and New York talent agent whose client roster over the decades included Woody Harrelson, Kirstie Alley, Geraldine Page, Kim Basinger and Tim Robbins, died yesterday in Los Angeles. He was 89.
His death was announced by the Brs/Gage Talent Agency.
Born in New York on May 4, 1934, Gage began his show business career as an actor in the 1950s, performing on and Off Broadway, as well as in summer stock and the Las Vegas production of the musical comedy La Plume De Ma Tante.
Gage shifted his focus to representation in the 1960s, first as a manager, and then as an agent. He joined the Fifi Oscard Agency, and after four years became a partner in the newly-dubbed Oscard-Gage Agency. In 1973, he opened The Gage Group in New York, and two years later moved to Los Angeles to expand the agency.

An official YouTube channel dedicated to the classic sitcom The Munsters and the franchise it spawned was launched three years ago, and as the years have gone by a whole lot of clips from the 1964 – 1966 show have been added to that channel. But now Universal has decided to go ahead and share a couple full movies on there as well: The Munsters’ Revenge from 1981 and Here Come the Munsters from 1995. Not only can both of those movies be viewed on the The Munsters channel, but they’re both embedded at the bottom of this article as well!

With five seasons of playing Alice in “Good Trouble” under her belt, Sherry Cola says that she is the “most liberated version” of herself thanks to her evolution on the show.
“Now that we’re in season five, I’ve learned so much as an actor, I’ve learned so much as an activist, I’ve learned so much as someone who is queer, and immigrant and Chinese American and woman,” Cola told TheWrap, describing the show as a “creative playground.” “I am the most liberated version of myself today, because I’ve had the honor of evolving through ‘Good Trouble.’ That’s not lost on me … I don’t take it for granted that this show has changed my life in a lot of ways.”

The central joke of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" is that a career in Starfleet, however dazzling on the page, is still full of petty, garbage jobs that no one necessarily wants. In the fifth episode of season 3 of "Lower Decks" -- called "Reflections" -- Ensigns Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Mariner (Tawny Newsome) are tasked with working a Starfleet recruitment booth at a futuristic jobs bazaar. Standing under a 10'-by-10' sunshade emblazoned with Starfleet logos, Boimler and Mariner have to make desperate, impassioned pitches to casual passersby that Starfleet is the bee's knees. They have the bad luck of being stationed right next to a vaguely criminal -- and ultra-cool -- adventuring archeologist booth.
The idea that Starfleet would need a military recruitment booth at a jobs fair is simultaneously logical and a little sad. Surely Starfleet would want to get the word out about what kind of lifestyle they offer,...

If you watched television in the late 1980s, you probably remember the My Sister Sam TV show on CBS. The sitcom revolves around San Francisco freelance photographer Samantha "Sam" Russell (Pam Dawber). Sam's world is turned upside down when her 16-year-old sister, Patti (Rebecca Schaeffer), comes to live with her. Others in the cast include Jenny O'Hara, Joel Brooks, and David Naughton. Executive produced by Diane English (pre-Murphy Brown), the series did well enough in its first season to be renewed but the ratings saw a big decline in year two and was cancelled in May 1988 with 12 installments left unaired.
While My Sister Sam didn't last, it looked clear that Schaeffer was destined for bigger things. Tragically, in July 1989, the actress was fatally shot by an obsessed fan in the doorway of her Los Angeles apartment. He had been stalking her for three years.
