Lacey Chabert recalls how she 'burst into tears' after shooting 'Party of Five' scene
She recalled that she and her on-screen siblings all "burst into tears" after the director called cut on the show's last scene, reported People.
"I thought it was a nice way to end the show and I remember we did that take and they call, like, 'That's a wrap', and we just all burst into tears and we hugged and we cried and we stayed there for a long time because it was really hard to say goodbye in that way," she said.
The show, which aired on Fox from 1994 to 2000, follows the five Salinger children after their parents are unexpectedly killed in a car crash leaving the eldest brother Charlie (Matthew Fox) to become a de facto parent to three teenagers played by Scott Wolf, Neve Campbell and Chabert and a baby.
Chabert shared working experience with Wolf in the 2023 Hallmark Channel holiday movie A Merry Scottish Christmas, in which they played estranged siblings who head to Scotland to celebrate the holidays with their mother.
"We had the best time," she told the audience, adding that it was "wild" to be working together again. "It's like, it had been 30 years, I think, since Party of Fiv e premiered, and it was our first moment on set together. It felt like no time had passed."
She continued: "You know, when you spend six years of your life with a group of people, they become family, and so, you know, we all keep in touch and they just mean so much to me. So to have that chance [to work with Wolf again] — that full circle moment."
"We were both there with our families, and our daughters were playing together, and it was just really surreal and sweet that we had the chance to be together again," she added.

Netflix Drops Meghan and Harry: $100M Deal Ends Without Renewal
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's highly publicized multi-year deal with Netflix—reportedly worth $100 million—will not be renewed when it expires this September, according to reports from The Sun. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex originally signed the deal in 2020 to produce a range of content for the streaming platform, including documentaries and lifestyle programming. A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the decision not to extend the deal reflects a broader shift in Netflix's content strategy, which has moved away from big-budget, multi-project agreements. The source also emphasized that there is 'no animosity' between either party and that the collaboration has 'just run its course.' Despite the non-renewal, future partnerships remain possible. Meghan's lifestyle show With Love, Meghan is set to return for a second season this fall, and the Duchess's lifestyle brand As Ever, which launched in collaboration with Netflix, continues to perform well with several sold-out product drops. The couple's past projects under Netflix had mixed results. Their 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan remains the most-watched documentary debut on the platform. However, recent projects like Polo saw lower viewership numbers. Industry insiders note that Netflix achieved its goal by securing the headline-making early content from the couple—content that may have marked the peak of public interest in their media ventures.

No magic fix: Harry Potter star Emma Watson banned from driving for 6 months
English actress Emma Watson has been ordered to stay off the wheel. The actress has been temporarily banned from driving as a result of a 2024 speeding incident. The 'Harry Potter' alum was ordered not to drive for six months on Wednesday, nearly a year after a camera caught her going 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford, England, reports 'People' magazine. Watson, 35, who played Hermione Granger, the friend of boy wizard Potter in the hugely popular movie franchise, was banned for driving at 38 miles (61 km) an hour in a 30-mile zone in southeastern Banbury last July. Watson, who was stopped while driving her blue Audi, has been studying at Oxford University. Her lawyer told the court that although she was a student "she is in a position to pay the fine." Watson is most widely known for her starring role as Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films, beginning in 2001 and ending in 2011. As per 'People,' the actress has taken a step back from the spotlight in recent years, even enrolling in a master's programme in creative writing at Oxford University in September 2024. In a December 2023 interview with 'British Vogue,' Watson said she was "so glad that I (took a break from acting) because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don't think I did before - more autonomy.' "I'm so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know (what's next), because the knowing that I've come to, I wouldn't trade that for anything,', she added. Watson's most recent rare public appearances came on Feb. 14, when she attended the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Oakland, California, and later at the Cannes Film Festival in May. A source said that the Little Women actress was "very low-key" during the night out at the basketball game in February, and seemed "excited to be there'. Pursuits in recent years for Watson have included continuing her education at Oxford after earning a degree in English Literature from Brown University in 2014. She also made her directorial debut with the Prada Paradoxe campaign in 2022. Indo-Asian News Service
