Iconic '80s Actress, 70, Stuns in Rare Los Angeles Sighting
Actress Priscilla Barnes, 70, made a rare appearance out and about in Los Angeles.
The Daily Mail reported that Barnes, known for her roles in the sitcom Three's Company and the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill, was all smiles while walking in a residential area in L.A. The actress opted to wear a pink T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and black tennis shoes. While she was photographed, Barnes held onto a glass containing a beverage and a tote bag.
Barnes started playing her Three's Company character, nurse Terri Alden, during the show's sixth season. While speaking to Antenna TV in 2017, alongside her Three's Company castmates Richard Kline, Joyce DeWitt, and Jenilee Harrison, Barnes said she did not think she deserved the fame of being on Three's Company. She explained that she immediately felt eyes on her because Terri was Jack Tripper and Janet Wood's new roommate after Christmas "Chrissy" Snow (Suzanne Somers) and Cindy Snow (Harrison) left the apartment.
"I felt like an imposter the first table read because [the other actors] had earned being there. I had not earned being there. I had just came in for a part where the person who exited was high profile," said Barnes during the interview.
She also said "it was hard coming in" to an established series, especially one in front of a live studio audience.
"It feels like you didn't earn it and it was really fast. You have to hit the ground running," said the Jane the Virgin actress.
She also said she nearly wasn't hired because she "hadn't done comedy" before the sitcom.
"I'd only done drama," said Barnes.
In addition, the actress said she was typecast as a nurse after the series ended following its 8th season in 1984.
"Then after the show ended, I was only hired to play nurses," said Barnes in the 2017 interview.

Will Blackmon joins the cast of Good Morning Football
The ever-changing cast of Good Morning Football has undergone another change. Via former NFL defensive back Will Blackmon has joined the cast for the upcoming season. A fourth-round pick from Boston College in 2006, Blackmon spent four years with the Packers, two with the Giants, two with the Jaguars, and two with the Commanders. He last played in the NFL in 2016. Advertisement Blackmon, who also returned punts and kickoffs during his time in the NFL, was a member of the Super Bowl XLVI champion Giants. He had served on a rotating cast of contributors following the departure of Akbar Gbaja-Biamila after one season. Blackmon did enough to get the full-time gig. The show has been in a state of flux for most of the past year, with a surprising move of the production from New York to Los Angeles (and a 5:00 a.m. local start time) and the departure of multiple members of the cast, including Jason McCourty and Peter Schrager.

Fortnite maker Epic Games settles antitrust case against Samsung
Fortnite maker Epic Games has settled its antitrust case against Samsung, according to a court filing. The case, filed last September, accused Samsung of working with Google to block rival app stores by default on Samsung phones. 'We're dismissing our court case against Samsung following the parties' discussions,' Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said in a post on X. He added, 'We are grateful that Samsung will address Epic's concerns.' An Epic spokesperson declined further comment, pointing to Sweeney's post. Samsung and Google did not respond to TechCrunch's request for comment. Epic had alleged in the lawsuit that Samsung's 'Auto Blocker' feature, which blocked downloads outside of the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store, was a coordinated effort to block competition in app distribution. At the time, Google called Epic's legal action 'meritless,' saying, 'Android device makers are free to take their own steps to keep their users safe and secure.' Samsung said it planned to 'vigorously contest Epic Game's baseless claims.' The settlement comes almost a year after Epic launched its own mobile app store to distribute both its own games and third-party titles. Before suing Samsung, Epic won a separate antitrust case against Google in 2023 over claims that Google's app store practices constituted an illegal monopoly. A judge ordered Google to open its app store to rivals, though a decision on Google's appeal is still pending.
