Forget Barbie, Dixie Longate is the Ultimate Plastic Girl

Dixie’s Tupperware Party. The brisk, 95-minute show — funny, joyful, and personable, which earned Andersson a Drama Desk nomination in 2008 — recently began a month-long run at the Kennedy Center’s Family Theater.Despite having played the character for 17 years, Andersson has never grown tired of hosting the nightly parties to an audience all-too-eager to be whisked back to simpler times.“I get to share time with wonderful people every night, so it doesn’t really feel like a job or a hassle at all,” he says.

Katherine Heigl re-creates her famous ‘27 Dresses’ dance to Elton John’s ‘Bennie and the Jets’
Katherine Heigl recreated a key scene from her 2008 movie “27 Dresses” at a 2024 Emmys after-party in LA on Monday night.Heigl, 45, who attended the ceremony as part of a “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion, took center stage in her long Reem Acre red gown at the after-party by swinging her hips and dancing solo to Elton John’s 1974 hit song “Bennie and the Jets.”In “27 Dresses,” in which she co-starred opposite James Marsden, Heigl’s character, Jane, and Marsden’s Kevin bond over their love for “Bennie and the Jets.” They then get up on a bar and sing along to the tune — leading the crowd in a jumbled sing-along (Jane is barefoot) and ending the iconic scene by kissing each other.Earlier in the scene, Jane and Kevin totally mix up the song’s lyrics — Jane says “She’s got electric boobs” instead of “She’s got electric boots” — adding to the couple’s joy in their barroom.Heigl’s dance Monday night at the Emmys after-party was posted on Instagram by the party’s DJ, Benjamin Walker, who added: “I love a good rom-com so when I saw @katherineheigl, I knew IMMEDIATELY there was one song to end the night and one song only … #IYKYK #27dresses.”“27 Dresses,” which also co-starred Malin Akerman, Edward Burns and Judy Greer, was directed by Anne Fletcher and revolved around Jane, who’s “always the bridesmaid, never a bride” and has been in 27 weddings wearing different dresses.Eventually she falls in love with Kevin after he writes an article about her experience as a professional bridesmaid.The movie’s main characters reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in 2019, and said they would be interested in doing a sequel, should the opportunity arise.“I want to do a sequel,” Heigl said at the time.

‘Happy Days’ cast on sitcom fame 50 years later: ‘It was like The Beatles’
The ABC series, set in Eisenhower-Era Milwaukee, materialized on the heels of the 1950s nostalgia craze generated by the movie “American Graffiti.“The show revolved around the all-American, middle-class Cunningham family: loving parents Marion (Marion Ross) and Howard (Tom Bosley), their good-natured teenage son, Richie (Ron Howard, who co-starred in “American Graffiti”) and his kid sister, Joanie (Erin Moran).Howard, the future Oscar-winning director (“A Beautiful Mind”), was already familiar to television viewers as Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show” in the 1960s; both Ross and Bosley were seasoned showbiz veterans whose resumes dated back to the 1950s. The supporting cast members, though, were largely unfamiliar to viewers: Henry Winkler as loyal, tough-guy greaser with a heart of gold Arthur Fonzarelli — aka “Fonzie,” aka “The Fonz” (“Aaayyy!”) — and Richie’s pals, wide-eyed Potsie Weber (Anson Williams) and wiseguy Ralph Malph (Don Most).In its third season, the series went from a single-format sitcom (shot like a movie) to a three-camera setup with episodes filmed before a live audience — adding electric energy to a surging show already ingrained in American pop culture.By its fourth season, “Happy Days” shot to No.
