Susan Lucci Makes Emotional Comeback in Jonah Hill’s Outcome on Apple TV Susan Lucci, the iconic actress best known for her role in All My Children, is making a heartfelt return to acting with Jonah Hill’s new film Outcome, which premiered on Apple TV on April 10, 2026. The project marks a significant milestone in her career, as she steps back into the spotlight after a long hiatus following the passing of her husband, Helmut Huber, in March 2022. Lucci, now 79, had largely withdrawn from public life and acting, but the opportunity to portray Dinah Hawk, the mother of Keanu Reeves’ character, reignited her passion for performance. The film, directed by and starring Jonah Hill, is a dark comedy satire that critiques Hollywood’s fixation on image and redemption. It follows Reef Hawk, a once-beloved movie star played by Reeves, as he grapples with a career in freefall. Lucci’s character, Dinah Hawk, is a pivotal figure in the story, adding emotional depth to the narrative. The film’s ensemble cast includes Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Laverne Cox, and David Spade, all of whom contribute to the film’s layered exploration of fame, regret, and personal transformation. Lucci’s journey back to acting was deeply personal. In an interview with PEOPLE at the New York premiere on April 6, she revealed that the script came at a time of profound grief. “I frankly never thought I would go in front of a camera again,” she admitted, reflecting on the emotional weight of her husband’s death. Helmut Huber, her husband of over five decades, had been a constant source of support, and his passing left her feeling adrift. However, Hill’s script and his vision for the project offered her a way to channel her sorrow into art. Hill, who also co-wrote the film, played a crucial role in convincing Lucci to take the role.#apple_tv #jonah_hill #all_my_children #susan_lucci #helmut_huber
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos faced an awkward moment during Monday’s episode of their talk show after comedian Howie Mandel reacted strongly to a comment about his age. The 70-year-old guest, who celebrated his birthday in November, appeared upset when the hosts mentioned his age. Kelly Ripa initially said, “It doesn’t make any sense,” prompting Mandel to respond, “What do you mean it doesn’t make any sense? That I look great?” Ripa clarified, “We’re not saying you look great for 70. We’re saying you look great, and I don’t believe you’re 70.” Mandel countered by comparing the situation to saying someone is smart for being a “stupid person,” adding, “Oh, you seem smart, you seem smart, you see, no, I don’t look good.” The tension eased as Mandel explained how he maintains his youthful appearance, crediting his fitness regimen and diet. Mandel revealed he follows an intense workout routine introduced by his friend Jerry O’Connell, which includes swimming with cables tied to his ankles and using frying pan paddles. He joked about getting “so lost in it” during his hour-long sessions. Despite his active lifestyle, Mandel admitted to a weakness for chocolate but emphasized his commitment to health, stating, “I eat healthy, just by virtue of what I like. I love vegetables. I love fruit.” He also highlighted running as his favorite form of exercise, noting he has run up to 15 miles in a day and often runs without music or TV, calling it his “meditation” and “distraction.” The hosts, known for addressing personal relationship issues on-air, shared how they use their show to navigate marital challenges. Kelly Ripa mentioned waiting for the show to discuss sensitive topics, saying, “That way, I have safety in numbers. I’m in a safe space.#howie_mandel #mark_consuelos #kelly_ripa #jerry_ocker #all_my_children
