Montana man killed wife, and kids, 6 and 7 months, in murder suicide, police say
Police in Montana believe a man killed his wife and young children in a murder-suicide Sunday after he made a disturbing call to 911 dispatch. Nicholas Olson-Hartley, 33, of Kalispell reportedly 'made concerning statements' to dispatch before hanging up. Police arrived at the family's home in the Silverbrook Estates community just before 6 a.m. and forced their way into the home after they could not contact anyone inside. Officials found the bodies of Olson-Hartley and his wife, Katie Olson-Hartley, 27, both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Two children, Heidi, 6, and Stellan, 7 months, were also found deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. An initial investigation shows Nicholas Olson-Hartley killed his family before calling 911, and then died by suicide. 'Our family has suffered the most heartbreak and damage imaginable that we will ever feel' Katie Olson-Hartley's sister Kayla told The Independent. 'Katie was the best mom we have ever known and her babies are her universe. Everything Katie did was for Heidi and Stellan and her family and her babies felt that every single day,' Kayla continued. Kayla remembered Heidi as a 'smart, goofy, fiery little girl who was bursting at the seams with life and wanting to experience all that she could.' 'Stellan was the most happy, smiley, calm and sweet little baby boy, like his namesake,' Kayla said of her nephew. 'Stellan was so excited to start eating food and loved to dance and be goofy with us. ' A GoFundMe created to help with the family's upcoming expenses has reached its $20,000 goal. Kayla said there is also a raffle for a $1,000 gift certificate to Creative Body Piercing and Fine Body Jewelry. 'On behalf of my family, we wanted to extend our deepest thanks to our family, friends, loved ones, and this community. We feel your love and support and we can't get through this without each and every one of you,' she said.

Mamma Mia star 'hated' it so much the camera actually avoided them
Christine Baranski has lifted the lid on the Mamma Mia franchise, revealing one of her A-list co-stars 'hated' the shoot. The first Mamma Mia film hit the big screen in 2008, and was an adaptation of the iconic stage show, directed by Phyllida Lloyd. It commanded a huge cast, including Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, Dame Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgård and many more. The flick followed bride-to-be Sophie (Amanda) as she invited three of her mom Donna's (Meryl) former flings to her wedding in Greece, in the hopes of finally discovering the identity of her father. During an appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the Good Wife actress shed light on her experience and how the camera actually tried to avoid Stellan during the scene where the cast danced to Abba's Dancing Queen. 'I don't think he'll mind my saying this but all three actors – Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård – they just hated having to do the dance stuff,' she told the host. 'Pierce was game, he would skip down the hill multiple times doing Dancing Queen. This was James Bond. I think Colin Firth meant all of his moves ironically. 'But Stellan hated it. We finally went down the hill in Dancing Queen and landed on the dock, then it was the end of the number. The camera would move around and it usually would avoid Stellan.' In both films, Stellan starred as Swedish author Bill Anderson, one of Donna's former flames. However, in the 2018 sequel, director Ol Parker attempted to pull the Andor star out of his shell for a close-up scene – something the actor was less than thrilled about. Christine laughed: 'Finally, Ol Parker, this wonderful dear director, he said: 'Stellan, it's time for your close up. You have got to do the moves now – you have simply got to do the moves!' 'He let out with a string of expletives. It's as though Ol had asked him to do Arabic poetry while jumping rope. He was like I can't do that!' 'He did it. It was so funny. I love Stellan, he's just the greatest. He's a wonderful actor, and he was a great colleague.' The first movie was a huge success and grossed $611million worldwide, with the follow-up also proving to be a smash hit. Although it has been seven years since the sequel first blessed our lives, producer Judy Craymer sent fans into meltdown when she teased that a third movie will eventually release as it was 'meant to be a trilogy'. More Trending Details have since been fairly thin on when we could expect another visit to Greece, but Christine – who played Tanya in both films – shared that Judy had outlined the plot. 'I was in London with Judy Craymer at our favorite watering hole, she is planning Mamma Mia 3. She gave me the narrative plotline of how it's going to happen. That's all I can say,' she told the Hollywood Reporter last year. 'But, it's not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Craymer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn't put it past Judy Craymer to get everybody back together.' 'It's just the kind of movie that makes people happy,' she added. 'Mamma Mia made so many millions of people around the world happy. Is it a little dumb, a little campy? That's part of its charm.' Got a story?
