Star Trek actor Tom Troupe dead at 97
Star Trek and Mission: Impossible star Tom Troupe has died aged 97. The film star passed away at his home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California from natural causes on July 20 - five days after his birthday. He is survived by his son Christopher Troupe, daughter-in-law Becky Coulter, granddaughter Ashley Troupe and several nieces and nephews. Tom was married to Sixteen Candles actress Carole Cook from 1964 until her death from heart failure at the age of 98 in 2023. Instead of flowers, requests for donations have been made to either the Entertainment Community Fund or the Pasadena Humane Society. Tom was born on July 15, 1928, in North Kansas City, Missouri. He moved to New York in 1948, and studied at the Herbert Berghof Studio in Manhattan in the early 1950s, after he was given a scholarship from the late Reversal of Fortune actress-and-teacher, Uta Hagen. Tom served in the Korean War - which was fought from 1950 until 1953 - and was awarded a Bronze Star for his service. Following the war, Tim returned to New York and made his Broadway debut as Peter van Daan in 1957's The Diary of Anne Frank, which also starred Joseph Schildkraut and Gusti Huber. The following year, Tom moved to Los Angeles, California, where he landed dozens of top film and TV acting jobs during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Some of his most notable acting credits included playing David Day in the Mission: Impossible TV series, as well as being cast as Lieutenant Matthew Harold in the Star Trek TV series, both in 1967. Tom also appeared in The Fugitive, The Wild, Wild West, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Cagney and Lacey, CHiPs, Knots Landing, Murder, She Wrote, Cheers, The Big Fisherman, The Devil's Brigade, Kelly's Heroes, Summer School and My Own Private Idaho. On stage, he co-starred alongside Carole - who with Tom was honoured with the 2002 Los Angeles Ovation Award for Career Achievement - in The Lion in Winter, Fathers Day and The Gin Game. He also co-wrote a one-actor play called The Diary of a Madman. Tom also co-founded The Faculty, a Los Angeles-based acting school, alongside Charles Nelson Reilly, Lu Leonard, John Erman, and Dom DeLuise.

Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell Circling "Single White Female" Remake
Yara Sameh Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell are in negotiations to star in a remake of the 1992 psychosexual thriller 'Single White Female". The cult classic is a squirmy suspense that features Bridget Fonda as a freshly single Manhattan-ite who has the misfortune of picking a clingy and awkward woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to be her roommate while she recovers from her breakup. Sony and Elizabeth Gabler's 3000 Pictures are reviving the intra-apartment friction pic. No word on who will direct the movie — the original was directed by Barbet Schroeder of 'Reversal of Fortune' fame. Ortega is best known for starring in Netflix's 'Wednesday.' She strengthened her box office clout by appearing in 2024's 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.' Next up is 'Death of a Unicorn,' a horror comedy that premiered at SXSW and will open in theaters this month, as well as 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' a thriller that features The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan. She's also scheduled to star in Taika Waititi's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel 'Klara and the Sun' alongside Amy Adams. Russell earned rave reviews for her performances in Trey Edward Schults' 'Waves' and Luca Guadagnino's 'Bones and All.' She also appeared in Netflix's remake of 'Lost in Space.' Her upcoming roles include 'Hope,' a sci-fi thriller, and a remake of 'The Thomas Crown Affair' alongside Michael B. Jordan. The original 'Single White Female' was a box office hit when it was released, earning $84.1 million against a $16 million budget.
