Two members of the Writers’ Guild of America participating in the ongoing strike said Thursday night that they were intentionally struck by a car while picketing Universal Studios earlier in the day.
In accounts posted to their Twitter accounts, writers Shawn DePasquale and Nick Parker described a harrowing scene in Universal City, an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County that is home to Universal Studios. They say a driver saw them walking on a crosswalk carrying picket signs, then accelerated in their direction, hitting both of them before driving off and giving striking writers the finger as he fled the scene.
They say they managed to avoid serious injury, and have consulted with a WGA lawyer.
“At Universal today on the picket line, @nick_parkour and I were hit by an aggressive man driving a blue car exiting Uni onto Lankershim. Luckily, we saw him accelerate at us and were able to avoid severe injury,...

Lisa Ann Walter is embracing her role as a fashion trend setter. During an exclusive interview with E! News, the actress, who stars in the hit ABC comedy Abbott Elementary, revealed how she felt after learning her character Chessy, from the 1998 comedy The Parent Trap, had become a Gen Z fashion esthetic on TikTok. "I think it's lovely, it never gets old," she shared. "When I was wearing the wardrobe at the time, I'm like 'Really? A big shirt that covers my waist? My pants that are right at my ankle? Ok, Nancy, I'll wear whatever you want me to wear'." Chessy, who was the live-in nanny for Nick Parker's (Dennis Quaid) daughter Hallie Parker...

Elaine Hendrix is revisiting her most iconic movie character - and has fans questioning if "The Parent Trap"'s Meredith Blake is actually a villain. Hendrix, 51, posted a TikTok on July 21 to mark the 24th anniversary of the 1998 film's release one day prior. In the video, Hendrix pours herself a glass of wine while participating in the popular app's "He's a 10 but" challenge.
As Hendrix enjoys her glass of red, text on the screen reads, "He's a 10 but . . . He had twins he separated at birth when he broke up with their mother and didn't tell you about it until the twins discovered each other at camp and swapped places to try and get their parents back together. And you not so accidentally run into all of them at the same hotel right before your wedding,...

The Parent Trap is just one of those movies: a feel-good, nostalgic film that reminds you of all the things you started doing because of it. With the recent cast reunion (22 years later!), I couldn't help but rewatch the 1998 classic. The cast is truly remarkable, but I have a hot take when it comes to the characters: Chessy is the real hero of The Parent Trap.
Played by Lisa Ann Walter, who said during the reunion that she felt the part was "written for her," Chessy is the heart of the film. Even though she doesn't make her first fabulous appearance until 49 minutes into the movie, you can't help but also feel so loved as she comes screaming out of the Parker California vineyard saying, "Hello, gorgeous!" and hugging Hallie like a daughter. She encourages her adventures and automatically offers up cornbread and chili, Hallie's "favorite food in the world.
