Presley Gerber Dies: Model, Son Of Cindy Crawford & Rande Gerber Was 27

 He was not on the list.

Presley Walker Gerber, a model and the only son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has died. A representative for the family confirmed the news to Deadline. He was 27.

A statement from the family read as follows: “The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.”

An L.A. County Medical Examiner’s report says Gerber died at a rehab facility. An investigation into the cause is ongoing.

Gerber was signed to IMG models and appeared in a 2018 Pepsi ad with his mother. His modeling career began with a 2015 Bruce Weber shoot. He soon was doing runway work at the various fashion weeks around the globe.

He recalled the whirlwind in a 2023 interview with the podcast Studio 22.

“My whole life changed within a month and it was just a very profound experience because I had to grow up quickly,” said Gerber.

In 2019, he was arrested for a DUI in Beverly Hills and sentenced to three years’ probation. Then 19, Gerber was also ordered to complete a DUI program.

His younger sister, Kaia Gerber, currently plays Susan Reynolds in Ryan Murphy’s The Shards.

Anne Schedeen obit

Anne Schedeen, Actress Who Played the Mom on ‘ALF,’ Dies at 77

"She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humor, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story," read a social media post announcing her passing.

 She was not on the list.

Actress Anne Schedeen, best known for playing matriarch Kate Tanner on the late-’80s sitcom ALF, has died. She was 77.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share Annie has passed peacefully,” reads a post on her official Facebook page. “She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humor, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story. We are bereft without her. We loved her so so much, as did all who met her.”

“She was a force. And it is unimaginable to think about life without her in it,” the Facebook post continued. “But as she said, ‘I’m always with you.’ And she’s right. The memories, artwork, belly laughter, handmade jewelry, oil paintings, sculptures, costumes, and all around joie de vivre live on. Raise a margarita in her honor.”

Her agent, Metropolitan Talent Agency CEO and president Tom Markley, also confirmed the news. “Anne was a true artist and friend. One of a kind. I’ll miss her,” he said.

A cause of death was not revealed.

Schedeen was born Luanne Ruth Schedeen on Jan. 8, 1949, and grew up on a farm outside of Portland, Ore. She once told The Washington Post that she started acting at age 6 “with teapots and flowers” and later took acting lessons at the Portland Civic Theater. She did local theater in Hawaii and studied at Portland State University and Fort Wright College in Spokane, Wash., before relocating to New York and taking a stab at acting professionally.

“It was a long wait. I sold clothes, modeled clothes, was a shoe model,” she said. “I played in summer stock and did a commercial. Then I got signed by a big agent. Within a month I had a contract with Universal. I thought I’d come out here, take fencing lessons, drive a small Thunderbird and sit by the swimming pool. Instead, I was the daughter on Marcus Welby, M.D.”

She landed roles in shows including Paper Dolls, Emergency! and Simon & Simon before ALF. Schedeen played Kate Tanner on the sitcom about a wisecracking alien who lands in the garage of a family who lives in suburban California and moves in with them. The series ran from September 1986 to March 1990 on NBC and spawned several spinoffs, including an animated show.

“When ALF came along it was another pilot season,” she says. “I kept reading scripts. I almost got involved with one, then withdrew at the last minute. Then I read ALF. I said, ‘This is funny. It makes me laugh.’ I met the people involved, I met ALF, and became more convinced I wanted to do it. That little alien made me laugh.”

However, Schedeen later revealed to People Magazine that working on the show was a “technical nightmare — extremely slow, hot and tedious. If you had a scene with ALF, it took centuries. A 30-minute show took 20 to 25 hours to shoot. Some of the actors in the cast had difficult personalities. The whole thing was a big, dysfunctional family.”

She is survived by her husband of 55 years Christopher Barrett, daughter Tay Barrett, daughter-in-law Hilary Flynn, sister Sarabeth Schedeen, niece Minnie Schedeen brother Roland “Tony” Schedeen and sister in-law Julieann Schedeen. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Habitat for Humanity.

Margaret Kerry Dies: Model For Disney’s Animated Tinker Bell Was 97

 She was not on the list.

Margaret Kerry, the early sitcom actor and dancer who modeled the movements and expressions for Disney animators as they drew Peter Pan‘s pixie Tinker Bell into being, died of lung cancer on Thursday, June 11, in Wilmington, North Carolina. She was 97.

Her death was announced by her family in a Facebook message.

“It is with profound sadness that we share news of the passing of Margaret Kerry (Boeke), our beloved Tinker Bell,” reads the statement. “Margaret passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus on June 11, 2026, in Wilmington, North Carolina. Her three adoring children, Ellen, Christina and Eric, were with her as she lost her courageous battle with lung cancer at the age of ninety-seven.”

“And remember,” the statement continues, “on any given night, look up into the night sky and search for that ‘Second Star to the Right’. Upon closer look, you might just notice that star shining a little brighter in Margaret’s honor. With love to an irreplaceable friend, talented entertainer and loving mother.”

Born Margaret McCarty on May 11, 1929, in Springfield, Illinois, Kerry lost her mother during childbirth and, along with two siblings, was placed for adoption. At age three, she and her adoptive parents moved to Los Angeles.

By the mid- to late-1930s Kerry was working as a child actor, with small roles in such films as A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Television work followed, with a 1950 appearance on The Lone Ranger and, in the early 1960s, two episodes of The Andy Griffith Show.

Her most significant TV roles was as a regular cast member of the early ABC family sitcom The Ruggles (1949-1952). She played the college-age Sharon Ruggles, daughter of star Charlie Ruggles (for whom the series and its family were named).

Kerry also had an early and successful career as a voice actor, with credits including the 1959 cartoon Clutch Cargo and, in 1962, Space Angel and, in 1965, Captain Fathom. All three shows are remembered today for the sometimes bizarre-looking practice of superimposing real human mouths on the animated characters’ faces.

Kerry’s signature, if virtually offscreen, role arrived in the early 1950s when she auditioned at Disney Studios for Peter Pan, the film that would become an animated classic upon its release in 1953. Although Hollywood lore would often have Marilyn Monroe as the inspiration for the blonde pixie Tinker Bell – the bombshell icon might indeed have provided some visual inspiration for the curvy fairy – Kerry was without question the primary source, a reference model performing the movements and facial expressions for the loyal, if mischievous, sidekick to Peter Pan.

The Tinker Bell character, with pointy little wings and a short green strapless dress with a hemline resembling the leaves of a flower, would prove so popular that she became Disney’s de facto mascot right along with Mickey Mouse. It was the flying Tinker Bell, with fairy dust trailing, that opened episodes of Disney’s classic The Wonderful World of Disney anthology series.

Kerry published her autobiography Tinker Bell Talks: Tales of a Pixie Dusted Life in 2016, and worked as a motivational speaker later in life. From 1992 to 2004 she was a producer, writer and host of a Christian radio program for Los Angeles’ KKLA-FM.

Kerry’s first marriage to The Ruggles director Dick Brown ended in divorce, and a second marriage with John Wilcox ended with his death in 1999. In 2020, she married Robert Boeke, a former boyfriend from the 1940s with whom she’d recently reconnected; he died this year on May 24.

RIP Reagan Wilson

 

She was not on the list.

Diana Hornig, aka, Reagan Wilson was an American model and actress, who was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its October 1967 issue, has died at 79.

Wilson was born in Torrance, California, and attended Roosevelt Elementary School in Santa Monica. After her parents' divorce, she relocated to Missoula, Montana with her mother, younger brother and sister. She studied journalism at the University of Montana.

Wilson began working as a model after relocating to Los Angeles, California in the late 1960s. She made her film debut in the 1970 horror film Blood Mania with fellow Playmate Vicki Peters, and later appeared in the 1973 film Running with the Devil. Wilson later relocated to New York City, where she did further modeling work, followed by jobs in Paris and London.

In 1968, Wilson appeared at a Men's Day event at the University of Washington in Seattle, which also featured a concert by Phil Ochs. Wilson was criticized for her appearance by feminist organizers, who chanted, "Reagan Wilson, you are an empty vessel" at the event.

In November 1969, a nude photo of Wilson made a trip to the Moon. As a joke, NASA ground staff hid a small nude photo of her (along with fellow playmates Angela Dorian, Cynthia Myers and Leslie Bianchini) inside the schedule of Apollo 12's mission commander, Pete Conrad. A photograph of Pete Conrad in his spacesuit with the Lunar Module in the background can be enlarged to see her picture.

Pete Conrad was the third man to walk on the Moon.

Wilson again posed nude for Playboy for the December 1979 pictorial "Playmates Forever!"

Wilson married Barry Hornig in 1987. The couple owns a textile rug company in Santa Monica, California.

Strikingly buxom, sensuous and voluptuous blonde knockout Reagan Wilson was born on March 6, 1947 in Torrance, California. Reagan grew up in Missoula, Montana with her younger brother and younger sister. She studied journalism at Montana State University. Her hobbies are swimming, scuba diving, horseback riding, and reading. Wilson was the Playmate of the Month in the October, 1967 issue of "Playboy." She did a follow-up pictorial in the December, 1979 issue of "Playboy." Reagan made guest appearances on such TV programs as "Laugh-In," "The Jack Benny Show," "The Beverly Hillbillies," "The Johnny Carson Show," and "The Big Valley." In November, 1969 her centerfold picture made a trip to the moon as a miniaturized photo inside the schedule of Apollo 12 mission commander Pete Conrad. Wilson has supporting parts in the 70s films "Blood Mania" and "Running with the Devil." Reagan met her husband Barry in 1982 and married him that same year. Reagan Wilson lives in Los Angeles, California and owns an antique store with Barry.

Actress Judy Pace Passes Away at 83 – Farewell to a Silver Screen Gem 

The groundbreaking actress and former Ebony Fashion Fair model leaves behind a legacy of elegance and barrier-breaking roles. 

She was not on the list.

The entertainment world has lost one of its most radiant and groundbreaking stars. Judy Pace, the stunning actress whose grace lit up screens large and small for over three decades, has passed away. She was 83.

While details surrounding her transition in March 2026 remain private, the outpouring of love from fans and colleagues makes one thing clear: Judy Pace was more than just a beautiful face—she was a true artist who shattered barriers with every role.

From Ebony Fashion Fair to Hollywood Stardom

Born Judy Lenteen Pace on June 15, 1942, she first captivated audiences not on screen, but on the runway. As one of the youngest models to ever walk in the legendary Ebony Fashion Fair tour in the early 1960s, she became a symbol of elegance and Black representation long before she spoke her first line of dialogue.

That natural charisma made her transition to Hollywood seamless. Pace quickly became a familiar face in the late 1960s and 1970s, appearing in a staggering array of iconic television shows. From cult classics like Batman, Bewitched, and The Flying Nun to groundbreaking dramas like I Spy and The Mod Squad, her presence was always “welcoming, warm, sexy but innocent,” as one fan recently noted.

Making History as Television’s First Black Villainess

However, Pace was not content with playing it safe. She made history by stepping into the role of Vickie Fletcher on the primetime soap opera Peyton Place, becoming one of the first Black actresses to portray a villainess on American television. This bold move showcased her range and earned her critical respect. She would go on to win an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her starring role as Pat Walters in the ABC legal drama The Young Lawyers (1969–1971).

A Staple of 1970s Film and Television

Her film career was equally impactful. Pace graced the screen in some of the most memorable films of the era, including the classic Brian’s Song (1971), and became a staple of the Blaxploitation era with roles (including Cotton Comes to Harlem) that added depth and complexity to the genre. Whether she was appearing on Sanford and Son, That’s My Mama, or What’s Happening!!, Judy Pace Flood (as she was known in her personal life) brought a unique blend of strength, sensuality, and sophistication that was unmatched.

A Beauty, Period—And a Grand Actress

To call her a “Black beauty” almost seems too narrow. As one admirer beautifully put it, “Restricting her to just being a ‘black’ beauty is a slap in the face because she’s a beauty, period.” She was a vision of loveliness, yes, but she was also a grand actress who paved the way for generations of women of color.

Judy Pace’s legacy is not just in the films she left behind, but in the doors she kicked open. She was a pioneer who proved that a Black woman could be elegant, powerful, and versatile all at once.

Annabel Schofield, ‘Dallas’ Actress and ‘80s Fashion Icon, Dies at 62

The Welsh-born model jumped from being on Italian Vogue covers to the popular U.S. primetime soap drama, and then producing movies.

She was not on the list.

Annabel Schofield, who went from being a defining face of 1980s London fashion to playing Laurel Ellis opposite Larry Hagman on the popular Dallas primetime soap, has died. She was 62.

Schofield passed away on Feb. 28 in Los Angeles following a battle with cancer, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The Welsh-born model became a fixture on the hip and glamorous 1980s fashion scene in London, and spent less time in Paris and Milan where runways were dominated by more established haute couture designers.

“I honestly think London as far as cutting edge style, due to the New Romantics, the tail end of Punk, Vivienne Westood, Katherine Hamnett, Body Map, Buffalo style which was created by Ray Petrie and all the resulting street styles,” Schofield told a 2012 interview for the Mirror80 website.

At the time, she was represented by London’s Take Two Agency and appeared on hundreds of fashion magazine covers and starred in major designer and brand campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Rimmel, Revlon and Boots No. 7. She gained international recognition for a memorable appearance in a Bugle Boy Jeans TV commercial where Schofield delivered the line, “Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?” as she drove through the desert in a black Ferrari sports car. 

Melissa Richardson, former owner of London’s Take Two Agency, in a statement said of Schofield: “She was one of David Bailey’s favorites and appeared in countless shoots for Italian Vogue. She was the forerunner of Take Two — without her, we could never have made it as we did. We loved her because she was funny and real and beautiful and down to earth. She never changed from the sweet little 17-year-old Welsh girl I first met. She was directly loyal, caring, and above all, a raging beauty. She knew her craft. She was the best.”

Born on Sept. 4, 1963 in Llanelli, Wales, Schofield grew up around film sets as her father was British movie production executive John D. Schofield, whose screen credits included 1990s box office hits like Romancing the Stone, Jerry Maguire and As Good as It Gets. At the height of her modeling career, Schofield relocated to Los Angeles to be cast in 12 episodes of Dallas as Laurel Ellis, where she performed opposite Hagman’s iconic J.R. Ewing character.

Her film credits included the role of Alex Noffee in Solar Crisis, opposite Charlton Heston; Dragonard; and Eye of the Widow. She later moved behind the camera on production roles for The Brothers Grimm, Doom and City of Ember.

In 2010, Schofield founded Burbank-based Bella Bene Productions, and as an executive producer developed commercials, music and fashion projects. She struck a creative partnership with director and graphic artist Nick Egan, known for his work with rockers like The Ramones, The Clash, Duran Duran and Oasis.

She also collaborated with photographers like Andrew McPherson, Ellen von Unwerth and Michael Muller, and was a producer with photographer Will Camden on the 3D Guerlain campaign that featured Angelina Jolie. Schofield wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Cherry Alignment inspired by her life as a 1980s actress and model and included a dedication to her late friend and The Brothers Grimm colleague Heath Ledger.

Schofield was predeceased by her father and her sister, Amanda Schofield, and is survived by her mother.

RIP Tal Berkovich

 

She was not on the list.

Model, actress Tal Berkovich killed in car accident at 41

Berkovich was in Israel visiting her family. Her brother was with her in the vehicle, and is currently in critical condition at Soroka Medical Center.

The Jerusalem Post

Israeli actress and model Tal Berkovich died in a car accident at age 41 on Thursday outside of Telalim, Israeli media confirmed on Friday morning.

The actress was in Israel visiting her family. Her 40-year-old brother, Gil, was in the vehicle with her on their way to their mother's birthday when they impacted a truck, and he is currently in critical condition at Soroka Medical Center, along with the truck driver, who has light injuries.

Berkovich was born in Kiryat Tivon, and performed in the Israeli ballet and the Bat-Dor Dance Company. She had a role in the 2006-2007 satirical show Paparazzi, after which she moved to London to study acting.

Berkovich worked on Israeli and American productions

In 2011, Berkovich performed in Dancing with the Stars. She then moved to Los Angeles, where she continued working on American projects such as the television shows Payday and Perfect and the 2017 movie Don't Forget Me, as well as Israeli productions, including an advertising campaign for INTIMA.

In an interview with Maariv in 2019, Berkovich talked about how her first arrival in Los Angeles left her disillusioned by the glamorous city. "I touched it and saw that not everything glitters. I saw that that's not what makes people happy. I started to investigate, to learn Kabbalah, and it brought me a lot of joy and peace, so I stuck with it. I know myself better. I have an internal peace."

Berkovich had participated in the ninth season of the cooking show Game of Chefs in Romania a few months prior to her death.
