celebrity update
Maura Tierney
BY JAY BOBBIN
OF LAW & ORDER ON NBC/PEACOCK
Q: It’s interesting to see Maura Tierney as a regular cast member on “Law & Order” now. Sometimes, actors return to that franchise after having been guest stars in it earlier. Is that the case with her?
A: In fact, it is. Early in her career, before she became a co-star of “NewsRadio” and “ER,” Tierney also appeared on NBC in a Season 2 episode of the parent “Law & Order” show titled “Aria,” about a would-be actress whose drug-overdose death was blamed on her demanding mother. At the time, Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks played the prosecutors in the series, while Chris Noth and Paul Sorvino were teamed as the police detectives. Tony Roberts and comedian Lewis Black also were in the guest cast.
That episode originally aired in 1991, so it would take a long memory or a true “Law & Order” devotee to remember that Tierney had first been on the series then. She also had done a short stint on CBS’s “The Van Dyke Show” (teaming father-and-son Dick and Barry) and a guest turn on NBC’s “Family Ties” before that, and TV work would continue to be a career mainstay for her.
Though she was intended to be a star of NBC’s second, longer-lasting attempt at a series inspired by the movie “Parenthood,” health considerations caused Tierney to leave that project (she was succeeded on the show by Lauren Graham). However, Tierney went on to recurring roles on FX’s “Rescue Me” and CBS’s “The Good Wife,” and she had an especially prominent part as Helen Solloway on Showtime’s “The Affair.” Showtime actually gave her a lot of employment in recent years, since she also was featured there on “Your Honor” and “American Rust.”

Surging Houston Texans take on the struggling Dallas Cowboys at Jerry World
It’s another highly anticipated Monday night NFL showdown as Week 11 concludes with the Houston Texans taking on the Dallas Cowboys Nov. 18 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, with all the action airing live on ABC and ESPN.
In only his second season in the NFL, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has shown tremendous growth during the 2024-25 NFL season, leading his team to a commanding top spot in the AFC South. Additionally, the sophomore has thrown for an impressive 1,948 yards and 11 touchdowns, while maintaining a 60.2 QBR rating and holding a 66.5 completion percentage, putting him in the conversation with some of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
Not only has Stroud improved his throwing abilities this season, but his leadership amongst the team has grown tenfold, with receivers such as Nico Collins and tight ends such as Dalton Schultz powering the Texans offense near the bottom of the standings. Additionally, the Cowboys’ defensive corps has been riddled with injuries, with four of their top defensive performers out for an extended period.
In what should be an exciting prime-time matchup with both teams looking to lock in a playoff spot, Stroud’s performance this season could very well determine how far the Texans go in a competitive AFC South.

Sisterhood rising: Magical group of women emerges in ‘Dune: Prophecy’
Following in the family business is a common life path for many, including Brian Herbert, son of “Dune” creator Frank Herbert.
The Dune series, which has once again risen to popularity thanks to Canadian director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part film adaptation (released in 2021 and 2024, respectively), was written by the elder Herbert and released serially by Chilton Books between 1963 and 1965 before the novel was released later in 1965. Although not well received by audiences at the time, “Dune” has become a science fiction classic, with the Villeneuve-directed franchise grossing more than $1 billion from box office sales worldwide. This fall, however, HBO is adding to the saga by way of a modern take on “Dune’s” initial serialized format. “Dune: Prophecy,” a new television series based on the younger Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s novel “Sisterhood of Dune,” premieres Sunday, Nov. 17, on HBO and the Max streaming service. Divided into six episodes to be released on Sundays, the series follows the rise of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and the impact their magic has on the changing world around them.
While the original Dune series is set in the distant future and follows Paul (later dubbed “Muad’Dib”) Atreides (played in Villeneuve’s films by Timothée Chalamet, “Wonka,” 2023) as a spice war breaks out on the desert planet of Arrakis, the new “Prophecy” spinoff is set 10,000 years before Paul’s ascension — which is still very much in the distant future.
According to the official HBO news release, “’Dune: Prophecy’ follows two Har-
Real estate developer Gracie (Tamara Almeida) finds herself in a tough predicament after purchasing a Christmas tree farm, as it turns out the farm had previously raffled off one-foot plots of land to locals. Eager to gain back the square footage before the festive season ends, she asks for help from local historian Jack (Cody Ray Thompson) during the brand-new flick “Holiday in Happy Hollow,” premiering Sunday, Nov. 17, on Lifetime. Catch a glimpse of Lifetime’s “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime 2024” movie line up, with a trailer available at youtube.com/ watch?v=AakmRpddFjk
PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
konnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. This is the origin story of the Sisterhood during one of the most turbulent and pivotal turning points in the Dune universe’s history.”
The “Harkonnen sisters” mentioned are none other than powerful sorceresses Valya and Tula Harkonnen, played by Emily Watson (“Chernobyl”) and Olivia Williams (“The Sixth Sense,” 1999), respectively. And although both women have a profound impact on the creation of the magical order and the rise of House Harkonnen, it is Valya helming the ship and influencing intricate interplanetary politics. As such, the HBO trailer paints Valya in a rather cold and calculating light.
“The Sisterhood draws women from many worlds to advance our species and govern the future,” Valya begins in the trailer, setting the scene for what viewers can expect. “The Imperium is fragile. The Great Houses fight for control.”
“Now,” Valya asserts,”is the time to secure the throne and protect the Imperium.”
But, the sisters have secrets of their own, and one man is leading the charge to eliminate all members of the Bene Gesserit before the sisters have the chance to exercise their power over the Imperium.
“Vikings” star Travis Fimmel stars as soldier Desmond Hart, who ingratiates himself to Arrakis’ Emperor Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong, “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” 2014) at the expense of the Sisterhood. Fearing an uprising is already on the horizon, the emperor heeds Hart’s warnings, sparking a war between the sexes, between religions and between worlds.
When fires blaze strong, it’s up to the 126 to put them out and keep the locals safe. While Owen (Rob Lowe) rubs one Texan the wrong way, Carlos (Rafael L. Silva) works an investigation that needs more attention than he can give, leading to burning-hot conflict.

Jack Nicholson ON COLUMBIA PICTURES/SONY PICTURES
OF HOW DO YOU KNOW
Q: I read an article that referred to Jack Nicholson as “the retired actor.” When did he stop acting? What was his last role?
A: Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson’s (“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” 1975) retreat from the spotlight has been so complete that we only have secondhand accounts of his motivations.
“He wants to be quiet,” is how Nicholson’s longtime friend, producer Lou Adler (“The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” 1975), described it in an interview on the “WTF With Marc Maron” podcast last year. “He wants to eat what he wants. He wants to live the life he wants.”
If it’s true that he has retired from acting, then his final film — the swan song of one of the all-time great leading men — would be the otherwise-forgotten 2010 romantic comedy “How Do You Know,” which was a flop at the box office.
It starred Reese Witherspoon (“Wild,” 2014) and Paul Rudd (“Ant-Man,” 2015), with Nicholson playing Rudd’s corporate executive father.
But, for what it’s worth, another of Nicholson’s friends, director James L. Brooks (who directed “How Do You Know” but also directed Nicholson to an Oscar win in 1983’s “Terms of Endearment”) doesn’t believe that was Jack’s last.
“I keep on thinking he’s going to get itchy and scratch it,” Brooks told People magazine in 2023.
It’s worth noting that Nicholson is 87 years old, and if anyone’s earned a “quiet” retirement, he has. His first screen role was in 1956 (a little-remembered spot in an episode of “Matinee Theatre”), 54 years before what is currently his last one. He holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for a male performer (12) and is tied for the most wins (three).
