Their Shared Love of Theater Was Just the Opening Act

Their Shared Love of Theater Was Just the Opening Act

New York Times18-07-2025
Ellenore Paige Scott no longer needed people to clap for her when Richard Lee Everett III entered her life in February 2023.
The Broadway choreographer and director had by then gotten her fill of admiration from strangers. Her hit Broadway shows included 'Funny Girl' and 'Mr. Saturday Night.' A star turn on television had happened 14 years earlier, when she was third runner-up on 'So You Think You Can Dance.'
When Mr. Everett reached out on social media to compliment her work that winter, she didn't feel compelled to respond. But she wouldn't be sorry for acknowledging the praise three months later.
'I JUST FOUND THE MAN I WANT TO MARRY,' Ms. Scott texted her mother on May 13, 2023, the night the two first met. Both were in love before a week had elapsed.
Ms. Scott, 35, grew up in Santa Cruz, Calif., as the only child in a household of fluid movement. Both her mother, Michelle Ramos, and father, Michael Scott, were professional dancers.
Her ballet training started at age 2, but it wasn't until she was 9 and saw her father performing a hip-hop routine on the television show 'Destination Stardom' that she started taking dance seriously.

Hollywood is fresh out of ideas — so now we have a ‘Freakier Friday'

Telling tales as old as time America. Land of the free, home of the brave. Lurching backward. Everything old is getting retold. TV in May did a tribute to Joan Rivers who left us in 2014. We just got a Barbara Walters documentary. Clooney schlepped back from Italy where he lives — not the USA — to reprieve 'Good Night and Good Luck,' which opened back when Jill Biden was brunette. You don't have to stay home and watch old movies. You can now watch new movies with old stars. People is an ancient magazine. Its new cover's big story is who? WHO? Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Nice to see Lindsay — she's had addiction stuff, setbacks, legal misery, near bankruptcy, parent trouble, sobriety issues, career fallout and no front and center top shot hot spot since Thomas Jefferson did it with his mistress. Full on, front and center, with her on that magazine cover? Jamie Lee Curtis. Lovely. Talented. Great actress. But hasn't carried a movie since Marilyn Monroe needed a training bra. We're now seeing specks of survival of the FFs: Formerly Famous. Clint Eastwood? Recently directed something called 'Juror #2.' In it, remember J.K. Simmons? Remember Clint whose last previous shot was 2021's 'Cry Macho' for Warner Bros. for whom he worked from 1971 until 2014. How about great Dick Van Dyke? Still dancing barefoot at nearly 100 and yet he recently knocked off Coldplay's new music thing 'All My Love.' And Broadway? Oy. Rejuicing Shakespeare who hasn't written anything new in weeks. Let's re-applaud everybody's favorite 'Chicago'? The thing's been around since before the city began. 'Hamilton'? A re-re-re-do. It's lasted longer than the human Hamilton. How about rejuicing 'The Rocky Horror Show' which opened 1975 — and — ready? — one of the revivals had me in it. Broadway — now known as Shrivelway — just had — again- again — 'Glengarry Glen Ross.' It recently had — again — again — 'Sunset Boulevard' with Nicole Scherzinger, who just closed in the over-trafficked musical, which hasn't changed except for its prices. And rejuiced Clooney, 64, who reopened in rererevivalled 'Good Night and Good Luck.' Wait. More. Comes now a TV birth. Neil Patrick Harris will host TV's new thing, 'What's in the Box?' New? Its contestants guess what's in a box. Wow! Sounds great. Right out of what went out in the '60s. Wait. More. Sept. 12. Joe's Pub is bringing us 'The Ballad of JonBenét Ramsey.' It's a musical. Supposedly high camp about a child who was murdered years ago. Not sure exactly what songs go with death but just letting you know. And if scratching around for the smell of an oldie movie, there's the newie 'Jurassic World: Rebirth.' Spielberg exec-produced the thing with Mahershala Ali and Scarlett Johansson, who says: 'It's like a version of 'Jaws' having maybe a baby with 'Jurassic,' ' and if you understand that you're a better man than I am Gunga Din. So three New York mice were lapping up the spilled scotch on the floor. Stoned, said one: 'I'm going to find Obama and knock him out.' Said the second: 'I'm going to take on that useless ex FBI chief.' The third mouse, in from The Bronx, said: 'You guys do what you want. I'm going upstairs to make love to the cat.' Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

The longtime So You Think You Can Dance host, 48, and the Northern Irish comedian, 54, announced their split on Tuesday, July 29, in a joint statement. "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated," the pair said, per BBC. "There is no other party involved," they continued. "We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected." The former couple concluded by noting that there will be "no further comment" on the matter. PEOPLE has reached out to representatives of Deeley and Kielty for comment. Deeley and Kielty have a long history and first worked together a decade before they got married. The two co-presented the British talent competition series Fame Academy, which aired for two seasons between 2002 and 2003. Fast-forward to September 2012, the couple tied the knot in Rome. In a 2015 interview on Loose Women, Kielty revealed how his and Deeley's friendship turned romantic thanks to a big gesture he made while Deeley was in Beverly Hills and he was in Northern Ireland at "a little Irish pub" around closing time. When he texted her for her birthday, Kielty remembered, "She said, 'It's just a shame you're not in L.A. because I'm having a lunch tomorrow.' So I said I'll be there." He then flew around the world and, when he walked into the Beverly Hills Hotel and said hi, Deeley "fell off the chair and we've been together ever since." The former couple share two children together. They welcomed their first son, Milo, in January 2016. In June 2018, they welcomed their second son, James Patrick. Between welcoming her two children with Kielty, Deeley opened up about motherhood. "I've got so much respect for all moms out there that do it. You have to juggle like crazy and have a team around you," she told PEOPLE at the time. "And whether that's your family, Mom and Dad, nanny … whoever it is, you have this team. It takes a tribe — I can totally understand that now."
