hile the COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement or cancellation of sports events worldwide for most of the spring, the PGA Tour was the first pro sports organization to set a target date for resuming its season. Officials assessed that they could safely resume competitive golf tournaments in June, albeit with a host of stipulations. “Our sport lends itself more than any other sport to social distancing,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in April following the announcement of the reconfigured season schedule, which will be condensed to 36 tournaments instead of the original 49. If plans hold, the golf season will resume June 11-14 at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, which was originally scheduled for May 2124.

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT

The Actress Becomes A Judge — Sofia Vergara Joins “AGT” For Season 15. By Emily Aslanian The talent show must go on … and it plans to! Season 15 of America’s Got Talent is shaping up to be a brand-new experience for fans. Though the Terry Crews-hosted competition had only shot audition rounds from Pasadena, Calif., before production shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic, the series will continue to screen contestants, and the judges’ reactions, from their respective homes. This transition is particularly tricky for brand-new judge Sofia Vergara, fresh off her time playing the fiery Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on Emmy-winning comedy Modern Family. “It’s been super weird,” Vergara notes. “I was starting to get the groove of the show and then suddenly all of this happened, unfortunately.” Joined by judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and a returning Heidi Klum, Vergara is the series’ first Latina judge. Below, she clues us in on her introductory season.

How does it feel doing something like AGT after so many years of doing scripted comedy — are there any similarities? Soﬁa Vergara: No, it’s like nothing I had ever done before acting-wise. Actually, I think it was the best decision that I took this, because it’s completely different! It’s difficult, but very fun. Speaking of Modern Family, which one of your former costars could you see on AGT ? [Laughs] No one. They [have talents], but they’re actors. Eric Stonestreet, he can be a clown.

How would you describe your judging style? I just want to be there, represent [the people at home], and be honest. If you’re an expert in nothing like me, it’s very dangerous to pretend you are one. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve found while shooting from home? We’re so grateful that we can actually do this and finish the whole season. Of course, it’s not the same. You miss the audience, that energy. The music sounds better when you’re on the stage. The lights make everything better. But now, you see the people in their own houses — it’s very intimate. And you have to also be aware many times that the sound is not perfect, so you have to be using more of your imagination as to how this act would look on a stage. What are your favorite and least favorite types of acts? I love when I get surprised, like [if it’s] a little girl and then suddenly her voice is like a woman, and you close your eyes and you can’t realize it’s this tiny 10-year-old. Or when somebody looks very serious, and then suddenly he’s a really good comedian. I’m learning, but I am enjoying the surprises. One thing I didn’t realize is that I don’t love the sound of the ukulele. [Laughs] Did any acts move you to tears? Oh my God, yes. There were a couple things that I could relate to, what the contestant was saying, what they were going through that I had gone through in my life that really moved me. Premieres on NBC May 26 5

Amanda Peet

DIRTY JOHN: True-Crime Drama

THE BETTY BRODERICK STORY Based On The Shocking Real-Life Story Of A Scorned Wife And Mother. By Barb Oates 6

ne of the most important things about a divorce is learning to pick your battles. For Betty Broderick, a California socialite, that proved impossible. In the engrossing eight-part series Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story, Amanda Peet (Brockmire) and Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) portray Betty and Dan Broderick, an affluent San Diego couple whose bitter divorce in the ’80s resulted in unfathomable verbal and mental abuses, rage-fueled assaults (Betty drove her car through Dan’s front door) and ultimately, and tragically, a double homicide. Peet, who grew up in New York City, was unfamiliar with the story and the 1992 made-for-TV movies about Betty starring Meredith Baxter, but was immediately drawn to the material after reading the script. “I thought [their story] was very compelling because they appeared to have all the trappings and accoutrements of a normal suburban life and marriage,” Peet says. “Part of the reason it’s so captivating is because they seemed so normal. The run-up to the divorce was just so normal and relatable. There didn’t seem to be a lot of evidence of mental illness or deep psychological issues until it was too late.” Dirty John creator and writer Alexandra Cunningham begins this ill-fated story roughly three years before the homicides, introducing us to a well-dressed and sharplooking Betty as she prepares for a divorce settlement meeting. Through flashbacks, we see an innocent and rule-following Betty who was intoxicated with the smitten and wickedly smart Dan. They married in 1969, and while Dan completed both medical and law school and built a successful career, Betty supported him and mothered their four children. “I think Alexandra did a really beautiful job of portraying this girl from the ’50s who grew up with the social norms of that era, and her entire identity was wrapped up in her marriage to Dan and in being a mother,” tells Peet. “Even though she was very, very smart and educated, that part of her life fell by the wayside as soon as she was pregnant, and I think that there are probably just a lot of women, including

my mother, who can relate to the era in which women were really told either overtly or subliminally that once you’re a mother, that becomes your identity, and everything else is swallowed up in the sphere of domesticity. For some women, I think that had devastating results, ramifications.” For Betty, Dan was her everything, and when he left her for his new assistant — the beautiful and bright 20-something Linda Kolkena — she was left feeling betrayed and helpless. Betty’s attempts to fight back only fueled her rage and

There didn’t seem to be a lot of evidence of mental illness or deep psychological issues until it was — Amanda Peet too late. slowly destabilized her, while Dan’s cold confidence and calculating legal savvy made him somewhat immune to just how irrational Betty had become, until it was too late. On an early Sunday morning in November 1989, Betty drove over to Dan’s San Diego mansion, used a key she stole from her daughter to get into his house, snuck into the bedroom Dan shared with his new bride Linda, and pulled out and fired her .38 as they slept. So much was lost in this battle. For Peet, who is the wife of Game of Thrones cocreator and writer David Benioff and mother to their three children, getting into Betty’s headspace was extremely difficult. “It’s definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she concludes. “It was difficult to let go of my judgment of her, but I think most actors probably find it thrilling to explore mental illness and to explore why somebody snaps, and I know I do. I find it deeply compelling. What is sanity, and what causes someone to cross the line? How much of it is nurture? How much of it is nature?” No one will ever really know.

The Real Betty Broderick If Betty Broderick’s name rings familiar, her highly publicized story was the subject of two CBS films in 1992 starring Meredith Baxter — A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story and Her Final Fury: Betty Broderick, the Last Chapter, along with several books. Her highprofile case split American public opinion in half, as some sided with Betty. While Betty’s first trial ended in a mistrial, in 1991 she was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. Now age 72, she is still incarcerated at the California Institution for Women. She was denied parole in 2010 and 2017. 7
