Emmy award-winning actor Valerie Mahaffey dies aged 71
Valerie Mahaffey, the Emmy-award winning actor known for her roles on Northern Exposure, Desperate Housewives and Young Sheldon, died on Friday. She was 71. Her husband, actor Joseph Kell, said in a statement to Variety: 'I have lost the love of my life, and America has lost one of its most endearing actresses. She will be missed.' Kell said she died on 30 May in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer. Mahaffey had a career which spanned nearly 50 years and was known for playing eccentric characters, including the one for which she won a supporting actress Emmy in 1992: as hypochondriac Eve living in the fictional Alaska town featured in Northern Exposure, which aired from 1990 to 1995. Mahaffey most recently received an Independent Spirit award nomination for her role as the optimistic Madame Reynard in Azazel Jacobs' 2020 dark comedy French Exit. Michelle Pfeiffer, who played opposite Mahaffey in French Exit, posted on social media: 'One of our brightest stars was stolen from us yesterday. Such a remarkable talent and human.' She co-starred in Big Sky, David E Kelley's ensemble detective drama series which aired on ABC from 2020 to 2021. She also portrayed the grandiose Lorna Harding in the first two seasons of Dead to Me, the Netflix comedy starring Christina Applegate. Mahaffey was born in Indonesia on 16 June 1953 and was raised there until she was 11 before graduating from high school in Texas and going on to study at the University of Texas. She began her acting career on the stage in New York City, appearing in six Broadway six plays including Dracula opposite Raul Julia and Play Memory directed by Harold Prince. She also played Ashley Bennett on the soap opera The Doctors, for which she earned a Daytime Emmy nomination. She collected two Obie awards for her theater work in Top Girls and in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads. Mahaffey's versatility kept her constantly in demand for guest roles and she amassed dozens of series credits including Seinfeld, Wings, ER, Glee, Grey's Anatomy and The Mindy Project. She played the manipulative Alma Hodge, ex-wife of Kyle MacLachlan's Orson Hodge, on Desperate Housewives from 2006 to 2007 and recurred as the teacher Victoria MacElroy on Young Sheldon from 2017 to 2020. Survivors include her husband and daughter, Alice. Rob Morrow, Mahaffey's Northern Exposure co-star, posted on social media that Mahaffey 'was a breath of fresh air, joy and laughs' as Eve on the series. 'We all adored her,' he said.

Miley Cyrus breaks silence on dad Billy Ray's shock romance with Elizabeth Hurley
Miley Cyrus has broken her silence on her father Billy Ray Cyrus ' shock new romance with Elizabeth Hurley, saying it has enabled her to love both her parents 'as individuals' and that seeing them happy has helped her finally 'grow up'. 'As I've gotten older, I respect my parents as individuals instead of as parents because, you know, my mom really loved my dad for her whole life,' said the pop icon, 32, who debuted her new single Easy Lover on Thursday. 'I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult. So I owned a lot of her pain as mine.' Speaking candidly on The Interview, a New York Times podcast, she added: 'But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, Dom, who I completely adore, and now that I see my dad finding happiness outside of that too, I can love them both as individuals instead of as a kind of parental pairing. I'm being an adult about it.' Miley's mom Tish, 58, split from country singer Billy Ray in 2022 after 28 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in 2023. She married Prison Break star Dominic Purcell in August the same year. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'At first, it's hard,' Miley added of her dad's new romance, 'because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, yes, that's your dad - but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy. So my adult self has caught up. My child self has caught up.' Billy Ray, 63, was first linked to actress Elizabeth, 59, in April this year, following the end of his short-lived marriage to 36-year-old singer Firerose. The pair reportedly bonded over their shared love of horses and rural life, with a source saying at the time: 'It's early days but they've genuinely hit it off.' Reflecting on the relentless scrutiny surrounding her famous family and why today's media cycle makes those moments easier to weather - Miley continued: 'The thing I like about the new way that the world works is that everything is so fast, it's forgotten really quickly. In the Nineties when something happened... it would just last for a year. Now it's just gone. 'Social media moves so fast. It just eats everything. Something may seem really important for a couple hours but then there's a meme that goes viral - somebody scats at Walmart or something - and that becomes the next thing.' But while she's learned to live with the headlines about her own antics, she admits it's her family - some of whom have chosen to stay out of the spotlight - that she worries about most. 'It can be embarrassing… not so much for me,' she said. 'I try to just be more compassionate to my parents because I hate that for them. And I mostly hate it for my siblings that have chosen not to be in this industry, because they didn't choose that kind of highlight on themselves.' Miley shares musician Trace, 36 and DJ Brandi 38, with her mum Tish, while singer Braison, 31, and pop star Noah, 25, are the offspring of both Tish and Billy Ray. Miley also has a brother Chris, 33, who is the biological son of Billy Ray. 'I've gotten so used to it,' Miley added. 'I'm like, if the symptom of this is that sometimes we deal with these embarrassing [stories] or difficult public opinions, then that's something I'm willing to take to have the life that we have. But it doesn't make it any easier.' Miley told The NYT podcast The Interview the shock new romance has enabled her to love both her parents 'as individuals' and that seeing them happy has helped her finally 'grow up'; Pictured in Rome on May 24 She continued: 'Mostly what makes me sad about it is for them. I feel pretty strong. I've taken so much on the chin. I've stayed strong without ever getting too callous. I'm pretty open and vulnerable for how much I've been through. But no one likes to wake up to that stuff. So it sucks. But it's worth it.' Miley also opened up about her father's difficult upbringing in Kentucky - and how it has shaped her understanding of his struggles as an adult, particularly when it comes to sobriety. 'My dad grew up in severe poverty - you know, not always having indoor bathrooms. No doctor's appointments, rarely the dentist,' she said. 'I spent most of my life in LA, in a safe neighborhood. I just can't even compare our upbringings in any way, shape, or form.' Miley has been sober for five years, giving up alcohol and before that, marijuana in 2017. 'I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult. So I owned a lot of her pain as mine,' the Grammy winner said of the split When asked about Billy Ray's history with addiction - and whether they've ever spoken about it - she said: 'I think he has a bit of a harder time completely enjoying being sober. I kind of enjoy it,' she said. 'My dad always calls it a 'good bad habit'. Things that make you feel good, but they're bad.' 'We don't avoid it, but it's not really something that's our table talk. I think me and my dad like to talk about music and movies. It's not something that's ever been our focus, but probably should be. We probably should talk about that at some point.' The pair have reconnected in recent months, she added. 'Timing is everything,' she said. 'There's been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected.' When asked about how her global stardom - eclipsing Billy Ray's own success - has impacted their relationship, Miley explained: 'That has added a level of complexity within my family for sure.' 'I think it would be hard for anybody with a dream to see somebody else achieving theirs in a way that you see for yourself. 'But I do think love conquered all in a sense that he can still find the pride in me, but I think it would be delusional for any of us to think that that doesn't add a level of complication to our already complicated dynamic. 'So at times in my life, I've felt that guilt and shame was a driver for me. Like, I had a hard time accepting that I could suffer because of how blessed I am. I don't think it's actually really played too much of a part between me and my dad because I have to have the faith that, like any dad, he would want this for me.'
