Estelle Harris, Star Of Seinfeld And Toy Story, Has Died At The Age Of 93

Image
Estelle Harris, a film and television actress from the United States, died at the age of 93. She was most recognized for her role as Estelle Costanza, George Costanza's mother, on the Seinfeld series in the 1990s. Harris transformed Costanza into a fictitious mother beloved by fans for her ridiculous comments, thanks to her trademark high-pitched voice and short-fused anger. In Toy Story 2, she also voiced the animated Mrs Potato Head, a role she reprised twice. Harris, on the other hand, became a household name thanks to his appearances on Seinfeld, where he appeared in scores of episodes over the course of five seasons. In 1992, Harris made her television debut as Estelle Costanza, the controlling mother of romantically insecure George Costanza. In the episode, Estelle nags her son George so much that he attempts in vain to persuade her to move to Florida permanently, far away from the New York City neighborhood where the show is situated. "Even though she's a pain in th

Foo Fighters Win Three Grammys In An Early Event In 2022

Foo Fighters took home three Grammy Awards in 2022, just a week after their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, died unexpectedly. Medicine at Midnight won best rock album, rock performance for its opening single Making A Fire, and rock song for Waiting On A War. In the band's absence, presenter Jimmy Jam collected the awards "with prayers to their loved ones." Hawkins passed away in Colombia just days before the band was set to perform at a festival. An ambulance was dispatched to the hotel when a man complained of chest issues, according to local officials. According to the city's health authorities, he did not respond to resuscitation efforts and was declared dead. Investigators discovered opioids, marijuana, and other narcotics in the 50-year-system old's after he died, but it's unclear whether they had a role in his death. The Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform at the Grammy Awards this weekend. Instead, a video tribute to Hawkins was shown, set to the Foo Fight

Due To A Lack Of Cross-Channel Ferries, There Are Long Lines At Dover

Image
Long lines caused by disruptions to cross-Channel ferry services have caused delays of more than six hours for motorists nearing Dover. The cause has been attributed to bad weather and a lack of ferries. The suspension of P&O services had already impacted capacity at the Port of Dover. People were being "handled like animals" with little or no support, according to lorry driver Stuart Orme, who has been stuck for several hours. "Operators have been working hard all day to process the traffic and get travellers on their way as quickly as possible," a representative for the Port of Dover said. Tourist traffic continues to flow through the port, and while local traffic congestion is lessening, it remains congested." The Kent Resilience Forum, a partner organization planning for emergencies in Kent and Medway, reported that "impatient" lorry drivers were producing a backlog in the town by attempting to circumvent the Dover TAP and Operation Brock traf

More Delays At Manchester Airport Are Being Blamed On A Lack Of Employees

Image
As the airport struggles to cope with rising demand, a lack of employees at Manchester Airport has resulted in long lines for baggage collection. For weeks, the airport has been plagued by delays, with hours-long security lines leading some passengers to miss their flights. Returning passengers were warned on Saturday that there were insufficient personnel to carry their baggage through - or even to let them exit from planes in some situations. To satisfy demand, the airport stated it was having difficulty recruiting and training workers. The challenges arise when portions of England begin their Easter vacations, and demand rises following the lifting of all Covid travel restrictions to the UK. Passengers claimed they were informed there weren't enough workers to get the luggage through the baggage hall. One politician blamed the problems at the airport, which is partly owned by Manchester City Council, on a "management failure." Passengers whose experience "fell sho
