WINNIPEG A Winnipeg born and raised actress is back in town and is helping those who have been helping others during the pandemic. Nia Vardalos, who is the star of
My Big Fat Greek Wedding, has been back in Winnipeg for around six weeks and after her two-week quarantine, she shifted her attention to helping health-care workers and also those in need. Speaking with CTV News on Thursday, Vardalos, alongside her sister Nancy Vardalos-Ginakes said the idea came after they lost their dad in March. Of course we couldn t have a funeral and at the time that it happened to us it was a very unique story and now 10 months later it is not unique at all, said Vardalos.
Michael Jordan was still in the NBA, and LeBron James wasn t out of high school.
Mark Zuckerberg hadn t invented Facebook yet, while Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears had just broken up.
But at home on Sunday, against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Browns can finally clinch a playoff berth for the first time in 18 years, while mercifully ending the NFL s longest postseason drought.
A drought that has felt like an eternity to the Browns. In many ways, it has been an eternity.
Just how different was the world the last time the Browns were in the playoffs? Here s a glimpse of what happened and what life was like in the year 2002 the last time Cleveland advanced to the postseason:
"Connie and Carla" plays like a genial amateur theatrical, the kind of production where you'd like it more if you were friends with the cast. The plot is creaky, the jokes are laborious, and total implausibility is not considered the slightest problem. Written by and starring Nia Vardalos, it's a disappointment after her hilarious "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
