Create Account LOS ANGELES (AP) — Connie Francis, the wholesome pop star of the 1950s and 1960s whose hits include 'Pretty Little Baby' and who would later serve as an ironic title for a personal life filled with heartbreak and tragedy, has died at age 87. Her death was announced Thursday by her friend and publicist, Ron Roberts, who did not immediately provide additional details. Francis was a top performer of the pre-Beatles era, rarely off the charts from 1957-64. Able to appeal to both young people and adults, she had more than a dozen top 20 hits, starting with 'Who's Sorry Now?' and including the No. 1 songs 'Don't Break the Heart That Loves You' and 'The Heart Has a Mind of Its Own.' Like other teen favorites of her time, she also starred in several films, including 'Where the Boys Are' and 'Follow the Boys.' Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?

Hairstylists Say These Are the Secrets to a Bob That's as Effortless as It Looks
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Whether it's a statement-making blunt bob or a polished Italian bob, this short hairstyle is no doubt a defining look for 2025. But now that you've committed to a bob, maintaining it can feel tricky, especially if you've transitioned from having longer locks. 'The main concern is that a bob can look grown out quite quickly, so clients can end up waiting for an appointment more often,' says senior stylist Andreas Wild at Larry King, Notting Hill. He's a fan of a lived-in bob, but admits that those with fine hair can find that their bob looks heavier at the bottom without layers as it grows out. Keep reading for the four steps to maintaining a bob haircut. It's all down to preference, and hair grows at different rates for everyone, but in general, Wild recommends a trim every seven weeks. Having a good relationship with your hairstylist helps, too. 'I have clients who will send me a picture of their hair after a few weeks to ask me if they're ready to come in if they aren't sure themselves,' says Wild. Wild's best advice for keeping your bob in top form? 'Getting it cut regularly, working with your natural texture, and asking your hairdresser for advice on how to maintain it best,' shares Wild, as it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. 'Make sure you have a proper consultation, ask your stylist to analyze your face shape, talk about your lifestyle, and be honest here—to make sure your bob works for you.' As for trimming your bob at home? Just don't do it—it's not worth sacrificing a great cut! A hair oil that suits your hair type will help to hydrate the hair and keep it healthy. Wild is a fan of Larry King's Spoilt For Choice as it 'contains rosemary oil to encourage growth.' You can also try Kérastase Glaze Drops for fine hair, Olaplex No7 Bonding Oil for processed and dyed locks, and Bread Beauty Supply Hair Oil for curls. 'A great little trick if you don't want to wash your hair too much: straighten your hair instead or go over with a curling iron,' says Wild. 'It can make your bob look brand new.' That said, shorter lengths don't mean you should skimp on hair protection. If you're using heated tools, make sure to use a heat protector beforehand to avoid frying your ends, and incorporate a nourishing mask weekly to keep your strands hydrated and glossy.

'Investing in a great scalp scrub is a good idea, just like you exfoliate your face every so often, it's important to do that with your scalp too,' adds Wild. 'A great little trick if you don't want to wash your hair too much, straighten your hair instead and/or go over with some tongs,' says Wild. 'It can make your bob look brand new.'

Outlander star Nell Hudson is married! Pregnant actress and producer husband have intimate lake-side wedding ceremony ahead of first child's arrival
Outlander star Nell Hudson has married her long-term partner in an intimate wedding ceremony as they prepare to welcome their first child together. The actress, 34, best known for playing Laoghaire MacKenzie in the hit historical drama series, took to Instagram on Friday to post a sweet photo of her and new husband Max King - brother of celebrity hair stylist Larry King. Nell wore a ruffled white gown with delicate tulle sleeves and a dramatic tiered A-line skirt. With one hand resting gently on her bump, the bride looks every inch the glowing mum-to-be. Her husband Max - a producer - stood proudly beside her in a classic black double-breasted suit and silver tie. She captioned the post: 'First little look at some wedding pics ❤️ what can I say that hasn't ever been said it really was the best day ever. More to come soon.' It comes just three months after Nell revealed that she and Max were planning a 'very tiny family-only wedding before the baby comes'. 'I feel so lucky that my future brother-in-law Larry King will be there and helping me on the day.' The couple announced their engagement in March last year while on a romantic getaway in Paris, with a photo of them smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower. Friday's post included credits for her glam team, with makeup by Devon Windsor (@devonmakeupgirl) and hair styled by her new brother-in-law - of course - using luxury clip-in extensions by Tatiana Karelina. Nell, who has also appeared in ITV's Victoria and Channel 4's The Irregulars, has been delighting fans with candid pregnancy updates since announcing her baby news last year. In one post, she joked about trying to squeeze into her favourite wardrobe pieces at five months pregnant, while another video offered a behind-the-scenes look at her bridal hair trial. Her Outlander co-stars, including Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, have been among those sending warm wishes. Sam commented on her engagement post at the time, writing: 'Congrats you two!!' while Lauren Lyle and others flooded her latest wedding picture with heart emojis and congratulations. The wedding marks a joyful new chapter for Nell and Max as they prepare to welcome their first child together later this year. 'Beautiful! Congratulations!' wrote Downton Abbey star Joanna Frogatt. Romany Gilmour - daughter of Pink Floyd guitarist David - added: 'You're both completely gorgeous!' Nell, whose mother is the author Cressida Connolly - ex-wife of the late A.A. Gill - kept the tone light and full of heart in her announcement, calling celebrity hairdresser King her 'new BRO'.
