Elisabeth Moss only took on Handmaid's Tale role after learning who would replace her: "Over my dead body"
Elisabeth Moss has said that she only accepted a role in The Handmaid's Tale after learning who would replace her, saying it made her realise how much she wanted it. The long-running dystopian drama, which is currently in its sixth and final season, stars Moss as June Osborne, a woman who is forced to become a Handmaid and to bear children in the Republic of Gilead. Based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name, the show, which first aired in 2017, follows June as she attempts to escape and reform Gilead's oppressive regime. Appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Moss said that she turned down the role as June twice before accepting it. Revealing the real reason she accepted, Moss said that she only said yes after she learned who would be given the part if she turned it down.

"I know, it seems insane now," she continued. "I'm so glad I've corrected that. And then they came back, and they very nicely offered it again, blah, blah, blah."

She said: "It was the thing that made me realise that I needed to do it. I couldn't stand the idea of anyone else playing that role, you know what I mean?

Surprise reunion between Springfield teacher and student 50 years later makes national TV
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A retired teacher from Springfield Public Schools was surprised with a reunion on The Jennifer Hudson Show after over 50 years of teaching, where she was reunited with a former student. Throughout many years of education, there is always that one teacher you often remember as making a difference. Sheree Nolley, a now-retired teacher from Springfield Public Schools, was in for a surprise as she was being featured during a segment on The Jennifer Hudson Show, a national talk show in its third season. In a news release sent to 22News from Springfield Public Schools Spokesperson Azell Cavaan, Brightwood Principal Danielle Delgado worked closely with the show's producers to bring the surprise to life.

Mississippi teacher donates part of liver to save student
STARKVILLE, Miss. (WJTV) – Mississippi State University (MSU) alumna and Tupelo Public School District special education teacher Holly Allgood didn't hesitate to help one of her students. Allgood was in her classroom at Tupelo's Early Childhood Education Center when she received a call that she was a match. She donated 30% of her liver to her student, Bowen Dorr, who is battling carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency (CPS1). Belhaven University recognized for online programs 'MSU alumna Holly Allgood's selfless act of love and concern for one of her students reflects what I believe is a core value of our university, which is service,' said MSU President Mark E. Keenum. 'We try to instill in our College of Education graduates the sense that they are stewards of the future in teaching and impacting the lives of their students. Certainly, Holly has taken that to an entirely new level, and all of us in the Mississippi State family admire and applaud her sacrifice and devotion to her student.' Both Allgood and Bowen are recovering well after the August transplant and have gained national attention for their story. Allgood, Dorr, and Dorr's mother were recently featured on the 'Jennifer Hudson Show' during this week's national Teacher Appreciation Week. They shared Dorr's story, and Allgood received a $10,000 gift from PaperMate. 'He's a completely different kid now,' Jamie Dorr, Bowen's mother, said in the interview. '…To have someone so close to home that was willing to lay down her life for [my child] when I couldn't—it's a gift I can't put words to. We need more Hollys.' Allgood, a Tupelo native and 2005 MSU College of Education graduate, has spent nearly two decades teaching special education. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.
