Iconic Actress, 73, Looks Nearly Unrecognizable at Red Carpet Appearance
Frances Fisher is looking unrecognizable during a recent red carpet appearance. The Titanic actress attended the 32nd annual Race To Erase MS Gala at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on May 16, showing off her platinum blonde transformation. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 It's a major departure from her signature reddish locks, though she's been most recently seen embracing a natural gray color. For the appearance, the 73-year-old added pops of color with a baby blue blazer and pantsuit, and a colorful shirt underneath paired with a bold red lip. She accessorized with a yellow flower in her breast pocket and an eccentric purse. She wore her hair long and wavy, styling it over her right shoulder as she smiled for the camera. Fisher first ditched her red color in 2021, with her hairstylist Jack Martin revealing that he had her in his chair for "8 hours to transform her reddish hair to a beautiful silver to match and blend with her roots so she can get ready for her new role in her upcoming movie." Since then, it seems she's enjoyed the lighter color on herself, opting to ditch the silver tresses for a full blonde makeover that's given her a youthful appearance. The actress—who began her career as Detective Deborah Saxon in the CBS daytime soap opera The Edge of Night—is very outspoken about politics on her social media, though recently, she gave a glimpse at her personal life with a sweet post for Mother's Day with her daughter Francesca Eastwood, whom she shares with Oscar winner Clint Eastwood. In the photos, the 31-year-old donned a similair hair color to her mother's in the HBO television series Watchmen.

Fairmont Century Plaza Offers ‘Sleepcation' in Los Angeles
14,000 square feet of award-winning tranquility with the spa inside Fairmont Century Plaza. In rather unsurprising news, a gallup poll found that Americans are sleeping less and are more stressed. 57% of the populace say they would feel better if they got more sleep. And it becomes a slippery slope: without a good slumber, your mind and body suffers. Although the latest beauty products can provide temporary salvation, the heart of the issue isn't addressed: those who are sleep deprived AKA lacking their proper 'beauty rest' — suffer the visible consequences which include swollen eyes, pale skin, wrinkles & fine lines — per this academic study aptly entitled Cues of Fatigue: Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Facial Appearance. But one hotel is aiming to change this, one 'Z' at a time. The Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles is offering sleep-specific treatments to guests and non-guests visiting the spa. 'Sleep has always been essential, but in recent years, there's been a noticeable shift in how we prioritize it. Wellness services like biohacking—designed to promote deep, restorative sleep—gained traction during the pandemic and are now more in demand than ever. One major reason for this is our increased use of smartphones, tablets, and laptops, especially before bed. These devices emit blue light, which suppresses melatonin production and disrupts the body's natural circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep,' explains Alison Kirsten, Director of Spa Operations at the Fairmont Century Plaza. The Fairmont Century Plaza spa service has collaborated with NuCalm for their biohacking treatment. These services are also well-timed to the stressors of more current events; and in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires, there is still some confusion as to whether it's safe to travel to Los Angeles, but Kirsten is reassuring, 'beyond our wonderful spa and hotel, we're just letting everyone know that LA is back (!). And honestly, after the fires, the best way to support our local economy is to visit our city. We want to assure everyone that Los Angeles is recovering and is a safe place to visit,' she explains. Beyond National Sleep Month, she says that (beauty) rest should be prioritized year-round. Case-in-point, their popular Sleep, Mindfulness, And De-Stress (SMD) service — whose program was spearheaded by Oz Garcia, PhD, an authority in progressive nutrition and anti-aging, and author of The Balance and Look and Feel Fabulous Forever — has garnered significant traction since its inception. The SMD service is a Biohacking regime AKA Human Enhancement, 'it's a term used to describe do-it-yourself biology and has evolved from the field of Sports Medicine. It involves making incremental changes to your body to improve your health and well-being,' per the spa team. Rather than a classic massage or facial (although you can opt for such add-ons), the priority here is cultivating quality rest — 'when we sleep, our bodies undergo essential cellular repair, and without enough deep, restorative rest, this process is hindered. The result is not only fatigue and stress but also dull skin, increased signs of aging, and an overall sense of imbalance. This is an opportunity to reset, re-energize, and revitalize from the inside-out,' says Kirsten. Himalayan salt room, aromatherapy steam room, and rainfall-style shower facilities in the spa were designed by Yabu Pushelberg. The service features a zero-gravity bed to sleep on to reduce pressure on the joints and support the body's recovery progress. Then you don a pair of NormaTech Lymphatic Drain boots which the spa team says helps to ease muscle tension and detoxification. Guests also receive a NuCalm Disc patch — (which gained swift awareness and popularly due to Meghan Markle's endorsement of it) to place on your wrist, 'the proprietary blend of inhibitory neurotransmitters activates your parasympathetic nervous system via the Pericardium Meridian (per Traditional Chinese Medicine); it stops your acute stress response so that cellular restoration and relaxation can take place,' says the spa team. In layman's terms, the patch helps you 'calm down and chill out'. Coupled with the patch, the spa supplies you with a sleep mask and a unique NuCalm curated playlist to listen to AKA — binaural beats — which are Alpha frequencies (8 to 13 Hz) and Beta frequencies (14 to 30 Hz). The former is supposed to encourage relaxation, promote positivity, and decrease anxiety; the latter is supposed to increase concentration and alertness, problem-solving, and improved memory. Ultimately, Kirsten says that Biohacking results and respective effects are different for everyone, but that — as a general guideline — one hour of this service equates to at least four hours of sleep. Treatment rooms at the award-winning spa. Daniel Harpaz, Director of Public Relations at Fairmont Century Plaza has mapped out a 'Sleepcation' getaway in response to the successes of this spa service. Lavish rooms and suites designed by Yabu Pushelberg echo the soothing sanctuary of their award-winning spa. It features generously appointed spaces which start at 462 to 1937 sq. ft.), a residential ambiance, black-out curtains, plush pillow top mattresses, 300-thread count bedding, natural light (thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows), marble bathrooms, prime city-view balconies — all emboldened with natural zen-inducing tones. Fairmont King Guest Room. Additionally, the hotel is capitalizing on its historic reputation (as a property that has hosted Hollywood icons and state dignitaries) and prized location to further appeal to travelers, 'Fairmont Century Plaza's prime location is in the heart of Los Angeles, just a short walk from Beverly Hills and mere steps away from the renowned Westfield Century City (mall). Perfectly situated for exploring the city, the hotel is equidistant from Santa Monica's beaches and the cultural landmarks of Downtown, providing seamless access to top attractions.' Executive Chef Ramon Bojorquez spearheads the fare over at Lumière, which offers a taste of a traditional French-inspired fare with a Southern Californian twist. As a sign of the times — with mental/physical health as a primary driver of a travel these days — Harpaz says that while the hotel will always offer indulgence, that there's a holistic component embedded in all facets of the hotel, including its food/beverage programming (this is in response to it being a top priority for guests), 'our hotel's signature restaurant, Lumiére, is proud to support a variety of dining preferences and mindful eating habits, driven by fresh and seasonal ingredients. For those looking for something other than French onion soup and steak frites, the menu offers items such as fresh salads, seafood, chicken, and more,' he explains. He adds that over at the aptly named 'The Bar', they've included some thoughtful spirit-free options. Lastly, whereas in-room dining only used to offer the usual suspects (burgers, club sandwiches), now health-conscious options are available 24/7 (think grains and seeds bowl, avocado toast, and pick your protein). 'At Fairmont Century Plaza, we believe wellness is essential to the travel experience, not just in the Spa, but on our menus as well,' he adds. A historic award-winning property whose legacy stretches back to the 1960s. Those seeking their next 'Sleepcation' trip to Los Angeles can check-out the property's room package deals and limited-run offers for the best deals and savings. Currently, they're offering Spa Daze, Linger Longer (3rd night free), and April Moments of Zen (for a springtime reset) experiences.

Heidi D'Amelio On Supporting Her Daughters' Passions And Prioritizing Wellness At 53
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 02: Heidi D'Amelio attends the 30th Annual Race To Erase MS Gala at ... More Fairmont Century Plaza on June 02, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor Race to Erase MS) When Charli and Dixie D'Amelio started posting dance videos on TikTok from their home in Norwalk, Conn., no one in the family could have predicted how quickly their lives would change. Heidi D'Amelio soon found herself in front of the camera too—and now, as a former personal trainer, she's using her platform to share her own journey with health and wellness. By the end of 2019, Charli and Dixie had become two of TikTok's most-followed creators and amassed millions of fans seemingly overnight. Their viral success evolved into a full-scale empire, including a three-season Hulu reality series, The D'Amelio Show, brand endorsements, business ventures like D'Amelio Brands and 444 Capital, Dancing With the Stars, and more. Forbes named Charli the highest-paid TikTok star in the world in 2021 and 2022. 'Everything that happened with the girls is a lot to digest—especially as young ladies,' Heidi told me over Zoom. "It's taken a minute for them to settle in and feel good just in their own bodies.' She shared that her daughters are continuing to pursue passions beyond social media, like Charli making her Broadway debut in & Juliet and Dixie returning to the recording studio. For Heidi, between navigating life as an empty nester and celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary, she's diving into health and wellness, reconnecting with herself, and carving out space to support other women in a similar stage. 'Oh my gosh. Just a lot of happiness,' she said of this season of life. 'I feel, health-wise, better than I've ever felt, because I'm figuring it out.' She and her husband, Marc D'Amelio, will mark their 25th wedding anniversary in May, and she's looking forward to 'celebrate us and that, to honor the girls and what they're doing, individually and together.' I spoke with Heidi about how it all started, what she's learned along the way, her experience on Dancing with the Stars, and why she's passionate about health tech, like the Evie Ring, as a tool to help women embrace data-driven wellness and feel empowered in their bodies. (This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: (EDITOR'S NOTE: Image has been retouched.) In this image released on ... More January 24, (L-R) Dixie D'Amelio, Marc D'Amelio, Heidi D'Amelio, and Charli D'Amelio pose for a portrait during the 26th Annual Family Film And TV Awards in Los Angeles, California. The 26th Annual Family Film And TV Awards airs on Saturday, Jan. 27 (8:00 PM-9:00 PM, ET/PT), exclusively on the CBS Television Network and available for live and on-demand streaming via Paramount+. (Photo byfor Family Film and TV Awards) Monica Mercuri: It's been over five years since your family started sharing videos on TikTok. Looking back, did you ever expect your daughters' videos to turn into such a massive success? Heidi D'Amelio: No, I don't think you could ever plan for that. That was not a goal of theirs, and they're pretty big goal setters, and that was not on the list. So yeah, it kind of came out of left field. Mercuri: And plus, they were, like, fun dancing videos, right? So that must have been a shock for you guys to think that moment okay, these videos are going viral. D'Amelio: And the app was so new—it was new to us, but it was new to everybody. The girls were new to it too. It was just having fun and doing the dance videos and that kind of thing. Mercuri: And when did you and Marc decide to get involved and try it out for yourselves? D'Amelio: So what was happening was they gained a pretty big following of college boys. And Charli was 15 at the time, Dixie was—yeah—barely 18. And so they didn't really talk too much on the app, and there's a lot of conversations in the comments. So Marc and I felt like people need to know that they're part of a family. They have parents. These are real human beings. We started posting, and they're like, 'Oh, wait—okay, they're normal kids. Actually, they have a family, and they live at home,' and the whole thing. And also, kind of, to humanize them, things they wouldn't post on their own accounts. Things from when they were younger and Charli dancing when she was two years old, and Dixie singing when she was three. So it humanized them without them having to tell that story. And then people just got really interested in the whole family. Mercuri: Your social media success has provided so many opportunities now, from your Hulu reality show to Dancing with the Stars. Would you be open to doing Dancing with the Stars again, if they did like an All Star Season, and what was your experience like on that show? D'Amelio: Amazing. It was so hard. It was so challenging, but that was the best part of it. I accomplished so much personally—pushing my mind, my muscle memory, my body, my emotions. I just had a lot of growth in that time. So I would definitely do it again. I think they've only done one All-Star season. I don't know. I think they should do an over-50 season. I would be down for that! Mercuri: That would be amazing. D'Amelio: I don't want to go against Charli again, I'll tell you that much! It was amazing. Honestly, we would ride to rehearsals together. We'd go home and ride home together crying, usually, because we both felt so defeated all the time. It was so hard, and we were just like two mush brains of emotions most of the time. But it was nice that we were going through it and we could lean on each other. Mercuri: What is something you haven't done yet that's on your bucket list? D'Amelio: I have a couple [of] things, and they're in two different directions. One, just with my own platform. I'm actually reorganizing [to] get my message of just overall wellness [out there]—with a lot of fun added into it—and just [to be] better at connecting with my audience through the things I have to share, [which] I think is something that could be helpful to other people. And then the other thing is Special Forces. I think that would be fun to do and crazy and super hard, but I love a good challenge. And also, more content with Marc. People love when I have content with Marc on my page. We're just together all the time, so we're not thinking about making videos. It's just hang time. So, we gotta do more of that. Mercuri: And you recently celebrated your 53rd birthday, and I know you mentioned your platform of spreading wellness. What does this stage of life look like for you? D'Amelio: Oh my gosh. Just a lot of happiness. A lot of feeling content with where I am right now. I feel, health-wise, better than I've ever felt, because I'm figuring it out. It takes a long time sometimes, but that's been good. I just feel really happy. Marc and I are empty nesters. I feel so happy in what we've grown to be. We're going to be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in May. Just to celebrate us and that, to celebrate the girls and what they're doing, individually and together. And I don't know—just feeling good in my skin and in my body. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 13: (L-R) Marc D'Amelio and Heidi D'Amelio arrive at the 22nd ... More annual 'Christmas at The Grove' Tree Lighting Celebration on November 13, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor Caruso) Mercuri: And to touch on what Dixie and Charli are up to—first, with Charli and her Broadway debut in & Juliet. Every video I've seen of her dancing in that show, I just stop and watch it. You must be feeling so proud. What was it like to watch that opening performance? When you saw her for the first time on stage, what did you think? D'Amelio: Of course I was there. I would say there was this feeling of—obviously, I'm seeing her and the cast, and it's amazing and emotional—but I'm seeing my little five-year-old Charli performing. It's like, wow. She's put so many years and she's getting up on stage, and now she's on this stage, the stage of all stages. It's incredible. It's hard to put into words, because it's an amazing feeling to watch and to know all the work that went into getting there. She started dance at three years old. Mercuri: And then for Dixie—she released some music and has pursued modeling. What is she up to now? D'Amelio: She's just been living her best life! She's doing a lot of developing who she is as an artist. She's back in the studio and creating, and just really enjoying where she is. Everything that happened with the girls is a lot to digest—especially as young ladies—so it's taken a minute for them to settle in and feel good just in their own bodies. And now, to put out things and get involved with projects that feel so good to them and what they're passionate about. Mercuri: When they really exploded in fame, it was during the pandemic. It was before they were really adults. And now it seems like they're able to take the time and focus on, like you said, passions and things they've always wanted to do. What's next for you? I know you mentioned a little bit about the wellness space, but what's coming up for you this year? D'Amelio: I want to talk about the Evie Ring because that's been a really important part of my life. Actually, in the last roughly eight months since I got the ring, I was just super interested when I heard about it. It's the first smart ring designed for women, which is very exciting and really piqued my interest—like, what is this? What are we talking about? It's been super beneficial for me as far as tracking my sleep. And the way that the data inspires me to prioritize it even more. And for me, sleep is number one. All the other parts of my life, they're running better because I am prioritizing my sleep. It not only just tells you how long you've slept, but it tells you what your body is doing when you're sleeping. It tells you all the different zones of sleep and how long you were in them and your vitals while you're sleeping. And then the journal, which has been super helpful. I log my journal every night. You log your energy, your mood, and then it goes pretty deep. I mean, how you're feeling— hopeful, happy, confident, irritated, angry—your symptoms, everything from spotting, cramping, low back pain, headaches… all of these things that we think about in passing, like, 'Oh, my lower back hurts,' or 'Why am I cramping today?' You collect this data to help yourself. It's just priceless the way this ring can do that. Even your vaginal discharge—it sounds silly, but it's so important for women's health. To have something that's so easy and kind of cute to wear on your body that can give you all these benefits is just so important for me. Mercuri: You seem like you have a really good grip on life at 53 right now, and like you said, you're exploring your health and wellness. What advice would you give to other women your age who might be struggling—or who might just need some inspiration or encouragement? D'Amelio: I think in the last few years, something that's been super helpful to me is really connecting with my friends, because especially at my age, we're all going through the same things. It's that menopause age, or pre-menopause, or perimenopause, and just making you feel like you're not crazy [is] very important. So, having the conversations, just letting it out and talking to your friends or your family about how you're feeling—especially friends that are also in that same phase of their life to talk through those things and realize you're not alone. I'm going to be okay. We have to get through this, and we all learn from each other. That has been something that's been helpful for me in my 50s so far. And then, just finding things like the Evie Ring that can help me. If I'm going into my journal and logging that I'm having the same symptoms a few times a week, I can go, 'Wait—there might be something off with me. I need to dig into this a little deeper.' Listen to [your body]. It's smart. Pay attention. Go to your doctor. Talk to your friends. Talk to women who are a little bit older than you that maybe have been through it already. People are happy to talk about things like that. I don't care what age you are—whatever you're going through, there are people who have been through it or are going through it with you. They do want to hear about it, and they want to share. I think naturally, as humans, we want to help each other. And that's what I want to do. I'm so fortunate to have a platform to do that, and I want to do more of that.
