When Bruce Willis announced his retirement from acting in 2022 due to his condition, his dream to play one role in a film franchise ended. Willis was a big fan of the James Bond films. After watching Javier Bardem portray an exceptional villain in Daniel Craig’s Skyfall, Willis openly stated in 2013 that he was up for playing a big baddie in the next Bond film.

However, the role of the crime organization leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the next film, Spectre, went to Christoph Waltz. Bruce Willis never got the call from James Bond makers, who wrapped up Daniel Craig’s iteration of films in 2021 with No Time to Die.

Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette chaired a career masterclass this afternoon at Series Mania in Lille, France, where she served as this year’s guest of honor.
Topics up for discussion during the session ranged from Arquette’s childhood growing up on a “hippie” commune with her parents in rural Virginia alongside her career as an actress, working with filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Richard Linklater, and David Lynch.
“He gives you a lot of freedom,” Arquette said of Lynch, whom she worked with on his 1997 surrealist feature Lost Highway.
Lynch’s Lost Highway, like many of his films of the 90s, is a project focused on gender, sexuality, and sensuality. In the pic — which also stars Bill Pullman — Arquette’s character is involved in a prolonged nude scene. Arquette said that at the time, she had been “really uncomfortable with nudity.” However, she pushed on with the scene to challenge herself as an artist,...

Growing up with Nick at Nite, there was one classic series that I adored above all others: "I Dream of Jeannie." Comparisons to that other '60s rom-com fantasy about a supernatural lady causing mayhem in the suburbs be damned, Sidney Sheldon's sitcom was just the blast of silliness that I craved as a kiddo.
As an adult, I've also come to appreciate that easily-rattled U.S. Air Force pilot Anthony "Tony" Nelson (Larry Hagman), his amiable buddy and co-worker Roger Healey (Bill Daily), and Barbara Eden's trouble-making, wish-granting genie ... Jeannie were clearly in a throuple but had to play coy about it to avoid ruffling their neighbors' feathers. Not that they were all that careful about maintaining their cover, what with Roger constantly strolling into Tony and Jeannie's humble abode uninvited with the casualness of someone who definitely doesn't secretly live there. Y'all ain't as slick as you think you are!

Update: In addition to being available on Hulu, the classic Bruce WIllis/ Cybill Shepherd series, Moonlighting, is now coming to digital retailers like iTunes and more. So if you want to own a digital copy of the show, now’s your chance. One caveat: no news on whether the show will be available in Canada, with it still absent from Disney Star here north of the border, making it seem like the music rights are keeping the show from being more widely available.

Hollywood star Bruce Willis was spotted out walking in public for the first time in months as he continues to deal with his dementia diagnosis.
The Hollywood star, 68, has kept himself largely out of the public eye since his family confirmed his frontotemporal dementia condition earlier this year. Any images of the star have largely consisted of him surrounding by his family or sitting in a vehicle with security guards, reports mirror.co.uk.
However, the latest images showed the ‘Die Hard’ actor seemingly in good spirits as he took to the streets around breakfast time on Monday in Santa Monica.
The actor was seen wearing casual clothes, including a plaid shirt, quilted jacket, grey joggers and a grey New York baseball cap.
He also opted for comfy grey laceless trainers and was said to have given a thumbs up to passers-by.

When “Moonlighting” premiered on ABC on March 3, 1985, with a two-hour movie, all the ingredients for what a blockbuster the show became were in place. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis had undeniable chemistry; the verbal dexterity was on full display; and the ingredients for what would become the show’s signature physical comedy was there in the climactic moment at the airport. No, wait, at the top of the Capitol Records building. No, no, it was at the top of the Eastern Columbia Building in downtown Los Angeles. The full sequence is one of the most thrilling, vertigo-inducing action moments of any TV series then or today, as audiences are discovering now that “Moonlighting” is streaming on Hulu. Not only is the building itself gorgeous, but as reluctant new partners in a detective agency on their first case, Shepherd and Willis dangle over the edge and clamber onto a horizontal ladder directly over downtown L.

Amid Bruce Willis’ decline in health, his wife Emma Heming Willis is making sure their children remain happy and are in good spirits.
Through a couple of snapshots on her Instagram stories, Emma can be having fun with her daughters, Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn Willis.
The first photo shows Emma, dressed as Waldo hugging one of her daughters, who is dressed as a mystical fairy.
Another photo sees Emma smile in a series of photos with her other daughter, who is dressed as a pirate.
Bruce, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (Ftd) earlier this year, has Emma as his primary caregiver.
Despite being vocal about awareness of Ftd, Emma has posted only occasionally about her husband, preferring to give him privacy as he deals with the disease.

After a protracted process securing the music rights for streaming, Moonlighting is finally lighting up television screens again, newly remastered and available on Hulu. The five-season series aired on ABC between 1985 and 1989 and starred Cybill Shepherd as Maddie Hayes, a former model-turned-business owner, and Bruce Willis as David Addison Jr., the detective with whom she starts a private-eye business. Creator Glenn Gordon Caron told TV Insider this month that William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew inspired the show. “I thought, if you could catch the funny, sort of violent, sort of passionate, nonetheless heartfelt — you’re looking at these two people, [who] hate each other [and] are made for each other, the contradictions,” Caron said. “If you could figure out a way to do that in a modern setting, that would be wildly entertaining. That’s really what Moonlighting is or at least ...

Neiman Marcus welcomed Schiaparelli’s creative director, Daniel Roseberry, to Los Angeles with Demi Moore and her daughter, Scout Willis, among the well-wishers.
Both wearing Schiaparelli, Moore and Scout looked beautiful for the welcome party.
Moore wore a white suit with black swirls and Scout donned an all-black outfit with gold buttons.
Scout, 32, is the second daughter of Moore and action star Bruce Willis. In addition to Scout, they also share Rumer, 35, and Tallulah, 29.
Though Moore and Willis are no longer together and have moved on with different people, they have remained close, as Moore continues to support Willis amid his dementia diagnosis.
Willis retired from acting in March 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia. A year later, his family announced that it had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.

“Moonlighting” was more than a watercooler show. It was an obsession. Episodes were taped and rewatched. And for good reason. There had never been a anything on the small screen like the 1985-89 ABC romantic screwball comedy detective series. The rapid-fire dialogue recalled such Howard Hawks’ classics as 1938’s ‘Bringing Up Baby” and 1940’ “His Girl Friday.” Fourth walls were broken. There was a black-and-white episode and even and wild and crazy take on William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” That was just the tip of the innovations.
Creator and executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron told me in a 2000 L.A. Times interview that ABC didn’t give him total freedom when it came to the episodes: “The truth is no one let me do everything. I just did it. Ignorance is bliss. There were rules and I chose not to listen to anybody. At a certain point, the network said- ‘This is working.

Moonlighting is finally available for streaming, and creator Glenn Gordon Caron knows that star Bruce Willis — who starred opposite Cybill Shepherd on the ‘80s-era ABC dramedy — is “really happy” about that. “When I got to spend time with him, we talked about it, and I know he’s excited,” Caron told the New York Post. “I know it means a lot to him.” Caron, who said he visits Willis every month or so, offered an update on the actor’s battle with frontotemporal dementia — a neurological condition that can cause unusual behaviors, emotional problems, and difficulty communicating and walking, according to the National Institute on Aging. “I have tried very hard to stay in his life. He’s an extraordinary person,” Caron said. “The thing that makes [his disease] so mind-blowing is [that] if you’ve ever spent time with Bruce Willis, there is no one who had any more joie de vivre than he.

As fans of Bruce Willis, we all hope for the best as he and his family go through their trying time as the actor lives with frontotemporal dementia. Unfortunately, not everything will offer a glimmer of uplifting news. With his breakout series Moonlighting now streaming on Hulu, creator Glenn Gordon Caron has provided an update based on recent visits.
Speaking with New York Post, Caron noted that his time with Bruce Willis as of late has been difficult as he sees how much has been taken from the actor. “My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am…He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce…When you’re with him...

Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron has spoken to Bruce Willis about the ’80s hit dramedy, which is making its streaming debut on Hulu.
He shared a health update on Willis, who played detective David Addison opposite Cybill Shepherd’s Maddie Hayes, who owned the Blue Moon Detective Agency.
Willis, 68, has frontotemporal dementia and retired from acting in 2022.
“The process [to get Moonlighting on streaming] has taken quite a while and Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now, about hoping to get the show back in front of people,” Caron told the New York Post. “I know he’s really happy that the show is going to be available for people, even though he can’t tell me that. When I got to spend time with him, we talked about it and I know he’s excited.

With “Moonlighting” now available on streaming for the first time thanks to Hulu, series creator Glenn Gordon Caron spoke to the New York Post and confirmed he was able to tell series star Bruce Willis about the show’s streaming resurgence amid the actor’s ongoing frontotemporal dementia (Ftp) diagnosis. “Moonlighting,” the Emmy-nominated ABC dramedy that ran for five seasons and 67 episodes in the late-1980s, served as Willis’ acting breakthrough. He plays a wisecracking detective who teams up with a former fashion model (Cybill Shepherd) to solve crimes after she finds herself broke and left with a detective agency as her only asset.

“Moonlighting” lovers are a dedicated crew — it was the kind of wildly imaginative, smart, sophisticated series that inspired passionate loyalty over the course of its 66 episodes (the two-part pilot is shown as a single episode) and five seasons on the air. What’s even more remarkable about fans’ dedication is the relative rarity of the series; the Glenn Gordon Caron-created genre hybrid has rarely been in regular syndication and its DVD releases have been out of print since 2013.
Not that the DVD releases really satisfied the die-hard fans. Sure, they got to relive just what all the fuss was about when the show took the country by storm back in 1985, as former model Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) and wise guy detective David Addison (a pre-“Die Hard” Bruce Willis) investigated crimes, bickered, broke the fourth wall, and generally served as television trailblazers up to and including the “Moonlighting” curse...

People talk about Moonlighting all the time, but until now, it’s been impossible to go back and watch the dramedy starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd as a detective and out-of-work model whose will they/won’t they romance helped change relationships on television. Finally, it’s coming to Hulu (on October 10), and getting it there was a feat, but one that creator Glenn Gordon Caron has been trying to make happen for a while. “I [once] said to Jeffrey Katzenberg when he was at Disney, ‘Is there any way I could buy the negatives from you?'” he recalls to TV Insider. The hold-up: the music. “In five seasons, I think we only did 66 shows. We used 300 songs. The idea of going back and renegotiating with all those people when effectively they have you over a barrel was not something any studio was looking forward to,” he explains. “As...

At long last, this week it was revealed that “Moonlighting,” the formative romantic comedy/drama that made Bruce Willis a household name and cemented Cybill Shepherd place in popular culture, will finally be coming to Hulu next month. Glenn Gordon Caron, who created the show, wasn’t sure it was going to happen either.
“I really thought it was going to be one of those things that was lost to the ages,” he told TheWrap in an interview conducted after the announcement was made. “There’s a moment where you go from being in the zeitgeist to becoming a kind of niche and then frankly, getting lost, just have no currency whatsoever because there’ve been so many other things that have been made that have been more interesting, that are newer. And I very much worried about that. That was a concern of mine.”
“Moonlighting” premiered in 1985 on ABC and ran for five seasons.

For the first time in the show’s history, all five seasons and 67 episodes of the classic 1980s ABC hour “Moonlighting” will hit the rerun market – streaming exclusively over Hulu beginning October 10. Each installment has been remastered in HD from the original film source and will feature the Grammy-nominated title track recording from Al Jarreau.
The series – which originally ran from 1985 to ’89 – starred Cybill Shepherd and proved a star-making turn for Bruce Willis. It cast Shepherd as fashion model-turned detective agency head Maddie Hayes and Willis as wisecracking private eye David Addison, with Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong featured in plum supporting roles as Agnes Dipesto and Herbert Viola, respectively. Whenever creator and showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron was asked why “Moonlighting” wasn’t available to stream, he would cite the prohibitive expense of acquiring the music rights of the eclectic soundtrack. But that little issue has evidently been rectified.

There wasn't a funnier or sharper show in the mid-1980s than "Moonlighting." Created by Glenn Gordon Caron, the hour-long ABC series starred Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis as Maddie Hayes and David Addison, perpetually squabbling partners in the Blue Moon Detective Agency. It was an odd duck. Caron and the cast took big, genre-hopping swings; one episode might be a musical, the next might be written in iambic pentameter, and another could be a homage to big-screen boxing melodramas. It was arguably the ballsiest network series prior to the 1990 premiere of "Twin Peaks."
And somehow, in the middle of the Reagan era, "Moonlighting" became a Nielsen ratings behemoth.
American television viewers weren't exactly clamoring for an amiably off-kilter riff on "The Thin Man" and 1930s - '40s screwball comedies at the time, but once they saw Shepherd and Willis bantering with Hepburn-Grant ease, they were sold. "Moonlighting" roared...

For the love of Maddie Hayes, look what’s coming to Hulu: For the very first time, all 67 episodes of Moonlighting will be available to stream on the platform beginning Oct. 10.
Hulu promises that each episode of the comedy starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd has been remastered in HD from the original film source. It will even feature the original Grammy-nominated title track recording from Al Jarreau.
The fact that Moonlighting landed at Hulu isn’t exactly a surprise. In October of 2022, Creator Glenn Gordon Caron teased some kind of Moonlighting return on Twitter. “Disney and I have put our heads together and come up with a plan,” he wrote.
Speculation immediately centered on either Disney+ or Hulu picking up the episodes from the popular ’80s show. But there was a catch: music rights. The series leaned heavily on hits from multiple decades.
Apparently, that’s water under the bridge now.

Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd had unbeatable chemistry on Moonlighting. In fact, their chemistry could be so volatile the show ultimately could not continue, although the success of Die Hard and other movie offers probably would’ve been an irresistible force for Willis regardless. At least there were five seasons of Moonlighting, all available on DVD and creator Glenn Gordon Caron is working on getting them available on streaming services. Until then, here are 10 other shows to capture the chemistry and comic mystery if you like Moonlighting.

NBC has ordered the pilot for Wolf, a one-hour medical drama from writer-producer Michael Grassi, producer-director Lee Toland Krieger and executive producer Greg Berlanti. The project comes from Warner Bros Television, where all three are under overall deals.
This is the project’s third incarnation, after previously receiving a put pilot commitment at Fox in 2019 with Alex Berger to write. Krieger remains with the project from its previous iteration, and he will direct the pilot.
Wolf is inspired by the books The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks. It follows a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.

There's a cheeky little gag in 2019's "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" where the Master Builder Lucy, aka Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), crosses paths with the Lego version of Bruce Willis (voiced by the real Willis) while crawling around in an air duct. "I spend a lot of time in air ducts. I definitely don't live up here. I have a home," he awkwardly assures her before crawling away.
While the joke is an obvious riff on Willis' air duct hijinks from "Die Hard," it also doubles as a wry nod to the fact he spent much of his career acting in action movies (right up until his retirement in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia) thanks to his star-making turn as John McClane in John McTiernan's 1988 hit. It was certainly an unexpected fate for the actor, who first made a name for himself with his screwball detective antics...

No, there’s no plans to reboot the ’80s drama that starred Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis. He just wanted to inform us all of his plans to peddle the reruns to a digital platform. It’s going to take some time, he says, but “I wanted you to be the first to know.” Sigh.

Maddie and Addison, back again?
A cryptic tweet from writer/producer Glenn Gordon Caron suggests we’re either about to get a reboot of Moonlighting or someone is about to land the reruns from the ’80s drama that starred Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis.
Caron, who created the drama for ABC back in the day, teased a big announcement with Disney for Wednesday. Rumors about a potential Moonlighting reboot have circulated periodically over the past several years but Disney sources indicate that currently there is no reboot idea developed enough for an announcement. A modern-day series about a pair of sexy private eyes would presumably be for Hulu or Disney+.
Getting the existing seasons of Moonlighting on streaming has faced challenges that have been insurmountable to date, so solving those issues would be huge for fans of the show.
Disney and I have put our heads together and come up
with a plan.

In the end, Dr. Jason Bull threw it all away to do what was right.
In Thursday’s series finale episode of Bull, the title character played by Michael Weatherly decided to give up his career as a trial-science expert to help put away a suspected murder. The episode was a continuation of the previous week’s storyline, in which Bull took on the defense of Ed Wilson (Rod McLachlan), an apartment building owner who was charged with poisoning multiple tenants with carbon monoxide.
At the end of the May 19 episode, it became clear to Bull that Ed purposely planned the attack to kill a renter who had knowledge of him murdering a college student years ago. To make sure Bull wouldn’t reveal his dark secret, Ed revealed privileged information that he, indeed,...

Instantly fans began sharing their favorite Willis performances across social media, but they were faced with a glaring hole in the Willis oeuvre – “Moonlighting,” the ABC comedy-drama series that turned Willis into a household name and led to him being cast in “Die Hard.” The series isn’t available on any streaming platform, despite being one of the biggest shows of the 1980s, and the DVD box sets, a reliable standby in situations where streaming is not an option, have long been out of print (vintage copies going for more than 100 per season on eBay and other secondary markets).

The end of Bull was confirmed by CBS.
“For six seasons, Bull has established itself as a ratings winner with its fresh take on the judicial process never before seen on television,” the network said in a statement. “We extend our thanks to the talented cast, Michael Weatherly, Geneva Carr, Yara Martinez, Jaime Lee Kirchner, Christopher Jackson, MacKenzie Meehan, the incredible creative team led by Kathryn Price and Nichole Millard, and our hardworking crew, for bringing to life these innovative stories.

Eliza Dushku testified before a congressional committee on Tuesday about being “fired in silence” from the CBS series Bull, as she detailed her sexual harassment claims against co-star Michael Weatherly and then, after she complained, being let go from the series and forced into arbitration and a non-disclosure agreement.
The actress told members of the House Judiciary Committee that she was able to “break that silence” as she was responding to a congressional subpoena to testify.
“Countless others who are bound by arbitration are not so fortunate,” Dushku said.
The committee hearing was titled Silenced: How Forced Arbitration Keeps Victims of Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment in the Shadow. It was held as lawmakers weigh new legislation to eliminate forced arbitration clauses in employment, consumer and civil rights cases.
In 2018, it was revealed that Dushku was paid $9.5 million to settle sexual harassment claims on the set of Bull that concerned Weatherly.

Freddy Rodriguez’s Benny was at the center on the action in Bull‘s Season 5 finale, running for office, leaving Tac, dropping out of the race and ultimately returning to Tac. But, following the May exit of Rodriguez alongside the departure of series showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron after an investigation, Benny has been quickly erased from the show.
His fate was revealed in a fleeting remark during tonight’s Season 6 premiere: “Benny is blissfully happy in Rome singing ‘Mi amore’ to his Italian bride.” Turns out that Benny moved to Italy and married a woman he had known for a month after meeting her online. As Bull (Michael Weatherly) remarked philosophically, “True love won’t be denied.”
Rodriguez was an original Bull cast member who had been on the show for five seasons until his May exit.
