Alan Alda says his face blindness made him not recognize his daughter: 'I don't think she was too happy'
Good one, dad. Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Alan Alda is opening up about the time he didn't recognize his own daughter due to a condition he'd later come to find out was prosopagnosia, or face blindness. In all fairness, the incident occurred on the set of Alda's film The Four Seasons, after he had had his daughter, Beatrice, dye her hair a completely different color for her role in the comedy. "I saw this person with horn-rimmed glasses and blonde hair staring at me, and it was starting to get distracting," Alda recalled to PEOPLE. "I said to the assistant director, 'Don't let these strangers come on the set.' He said, 'That's your daughter!' I don't think she was too happy about that, because neither of us knew that there was such a thing as face blindness [at the time]." Alda said to this day it's "very hard" for him to recognize people due to the condition. "When somebody comes up to me, as if they know me, I often don't know if they know me from seeing me on the screen or if I actually know them," he told the outlet. "I could have dinner with somebody, spend two hours with somebody next to me, and the next day not know who they are." Alda, 89, has been open about his health struggles in recent years. In 2018, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2015. At the time, he told CBS This Morning he decided to reveal his diagnosis after noticing his "thumb twitch" during some recent TV appearances to promote his podcast, Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda. "I thought, it's probably only a matter of time before somebody does a story about this from a sad point of view, but that's not where I am," he said. Speaking with PEOPLE more recently, Alda gave an update on his condition, telling the outlet, 'I don't have dexterity with my fingers the way I used to, so sometimes [my wife, Arlene] has to tear a package open for me,' he said. 'She's so good-natured about it. I'm always saying, 'Thank you.'" He also admitted that while managing his Parkinson's has gone from "a part-time job to almost a full-time job" over the past 10 years, he's still able to keep a positive outlook. "It keeps me always looking for the funny side," he said. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Jennifer Coolidge urges Emerson graduates to ‘just friggin' go for it' in commencement speech
Advertisement Coolidge, who earned her degree at Emerson in performing arts, spoke to a lively sea of purple and black Sunday morning at Agganis Arena for the college's 145th commencement ceremony. The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress is known for her iconic roles in 'American Pie', 'Legally Blonde', 'Best In Show', 'Promising Young Woman,' and the critically acclaimed series 'The Watcher,' according to an earlier statement from Emerson College announcing her speech. She recently garnered critical acclaim for her portrayal of the fan-favorite character Tanya McQuoid in HBO's 'The White Lotus.' Coolidge, 63, was born in Boston and raised in Norwell. Growing up, she said she had an 'unrealistic belief in [herself] and what was possible.' Coolidge was recently recognized as Advertisement 'When you find the thing that you want to do, I really want to highly recommend, just friggin' go for it,' Coolidge said. 'You really have to psych yourself up into believing absurd possibilities, and you have to believe that they are not absurd.' Coolidge, who has sparked rumors online about her sexuality, started her speech by saying she's excited to be 'speaking with some very excited gay students,' which was met with thundering applause, along with 'some less excited hetero students,' she said to the laughing crowd. Coolidge also gave credit in her speech to Emerson for helping students start their journeys. 'Emerson has ignited these seemingly unattainable possibilities for you that now can be your reality,' Coolidge said. 'It is your ability to convince yourself you really can make it, because you have to be your own champion.' 'You can't perfectly plan it out from the beginning, and part of directing your life is just letting it unfold,' Coolidge said. Coolidge received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree at the ceremony. She said success in her career did not happen 'for a very long time,' and she endured 'hideous rejections.' In one instance, Coolidge recalled auditioning for a part where she had to get into an elevator and say, 'Going up?' 'They didn't want me,' Coolidge said. Coolidge reminded graduates that 'it's OK to be sensitive' and to 'feel things profoundly.' And as Elle Woods — protagonist of the Legally Blonde films — would say, Coolidge told graduates: 'We did it!' Advertisement Ava Berger can be reached at
