Point Pleasant native Diamond Dallas Page's story coming to A&E Biography

Diamond Dallas Page has had a remarkable career.

And on Sunday night, his story will be told.

Better known as DDP, the Point Plesant Beach native has been a star professional wrestler and on Sunday, A&E Network will present Biography: WWE Legends, Diamond Dallas Page.

"Overcoming obstacles has been a theme throughout Diamond Dallas Page's life and he was always doubted to succeed; through hard work, positive thinking and determination, DDP proved the naysayers wrong," is how the network describes the show.

Page's story starts at the Jersey Shore, where he played basketball for Point Pleasant High School. 

After playing college basketball at Coastal Carolina, he made his way into the world of professional wrestling, starting with the AWA before moving on to WCW, where he would win the promotion's world championship.

He later went to WWE, as well as TNA and AEW, and became a top star everywhere he went.

During his wrestling career, he went on to develop DDP Yoga, a yoga routine for athletes and men looking to get in shape.

“I’m the guy who wouldn’t be caught dead doing yoga the first 42 years of my life,” Page said in a 2018 story in the Asbury Park Press. “But I didn’t start wrestling until I was 35. My career took off when I was 40, which was in ’96. (Then in) ’97, ’98 I was on top of the world.”

The DDP biography is part of A&E's Sunday night WWE lineup.

Before Biography, the hour-long program that begins at 9 p.m., will be WWE Rivals, a show telling the story of the history between John Cena and Randy Orton.

White House Plumber G. Gordon Liddy’s Wild Career After the Watergate Scandal

The former Richard Nixon aide, who’s portrayed in the new HBO limited series White House Plumbers , became a public speaker, actor, and radio host after his time in prison.

We may earn commission from links on this page, but we only recommend products we back.

G. Gordon Liddy served 52 months in prison for his role in organizing the break-ins at the center of the Watergate scandal in May and June 1972. But instead of dooming the former FBI agent turned political operative to obscurity, the misconduct only seemed to boost Liddy’s star power in the decades that followed.

Surprisingly, upon his release from prison in 1977, Liddy embarked on a long and successful career as an author, public speaker, radio personality, and television actor up until his death on March 30, 2021. The spotlight seemed fitting for the eccentric and controversial Liddy, who claimed he once ate a rat and could feel an “electric surge” through his body while listening to broadcasts of Adolf Hitler .

Here’s what happened to G. Gordon Liddy post-Watergate scandal, including some of his wild endeavors.

After Prison, Liddy’s Life as an Author

According to The Washington Post , Liddy was sentenced in March 1973 to 20 years in federal prison for conspiracy, burglary, and illegal wire-tapping related to Watergate. President Jimmy Carter commuted Liddy’s sentence to only eight years in April 1977, making him eligible for parole. He was freed soon after on September 7.

Liddy, who was born in Brooklyn on November 30, 1930, and grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, exhibited quirkiness from a young age and wasn’t shy about showing it off. In a 1980 interview with NPR , he shared the story of how he overcame his childhood fear of rats by roasting and eating one his sister’s cat had killed.

According to the Los Angeles Times , he also claimed he put himself through tests to strengthen his will, like jumping out of the way of oncoming trains at the last minute and climbing a tree during an electrical storm to see if he would be struck.

He shared these and other candid anecdotes in one of his first major projects out of prison, a 1980 autobiography titled Will that sold more than one million copies and was adapted into a 1982 made-for-TV movie starring Robert Conrad. According to his Washington Post obituary, Liddy wrote that he enjoyed antagonizing wardens and incarcerated gang members while in prison. He even sang a Nazi anthem in response to racial epithets from Black prisoners. “I don’t believe there was a man there who understood one word of what I sang. But they got the message,” Liddy said.

Liddy also published two novels, the 1979 espionage thriller Out of Control and 1990’s The Monkey Handlers , as well as the nonfiction political commentaries When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country in 2003 and Fight Back: Tackling Terrorism, Liddy Style in 2006.

Public Speaking Debates with Timothy Leary

Liddy visited colleges for public speaking engagements throughout the 1980s and participated in staged political debates with Timothy Leary , the psychologist and professor who famously advocated for the use of psychedelic drugs like LSD.

The two first crossed paths in 1966, when Liddy orchestrated a drug raid as an assistant district attorney in Poughkeepsie, New York, that led to Leary’s arrest. Leary, who Nixon had dubbed the “most dangerous man in America,” was later arrested again on marijuana possession charges and imprisoned in the 1970s.

The debates, which featured creative taglines such as “Nice Scary Guy Versus Scary Nice Guy” and “The State of the Mind Versus The Mind of the State,” pitted conservative Liddy against his progressive foil Leary in discussions about national security and civil liberties.

“He’s Darth Vader to my Luke Skywalker,” Leary once said of Liddy, according to The Washington Post . Their debates were featured in the 1983 documentary film Return Engagement .

Liddy’s Radio Show

Liddy’s most notable—and controversial—venture was his radio talk show The G. Gordon Liddy Show , which was carried by more than 270 stations across the country and reached an estimated 10 million listeners, according to The Washington Post .

Started in 1992, the show featured the “G Man” alternating between daily news and radical outbursts. Liddy often insulted President Bill Clinton , calling him the “coward-in-chief,” and bragged to listeners he used photos of Bill and wife Hillary Clinton for target practice.

He also drew controversy by linking the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to the Oklahoma City bombing carried out by Timothy McVeigh in 1995. He partially blamed the attack on ATF’s raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, two years prior.

Liddy morbidly advised viewers to shoot ATF agents in the head, though he later claimed he meant only in self-defense. “You can die under their bullets, or you can shoot back and try to defend your wife and family,” he said . “If they’re wearing flak jackets, don’t shoot them there, shoot them in the head.”

Liddy’s show remained on the air until his retirement in July 27, 2012.

Liddy in Movies and TV

Actor John Diehl portrayed Liddy in the 1995 Oliver Stone film Nixon . But Liddy wasn’t afraid to be in front of the camera, either.

He had 20 acting credits according to IMDb and often played nefarious television characters, such as Captain William Maynard on Miami Vice in 1985 and 1986 and Carl Strickland in a 1988 episode of MacGyver . “I played only villains, and that way, as [my wife Frances] says, I don’t have to act. I just go there and play myself,” he told Playboy in 1995.

Liddy acted in 46 episodes of 18 Wheels of Justice from 2000 to 2001 and also had guest roles in the TV shows Airwolf , The Highwayman , and an adaptation of the Encyclopedia Brown book series.

But perhaps Liddy’s wildest TV appearance was his turn as a contestant on a celebrity edition of Fear Factor , the stunt-based NBC game show hosted by Joe Rogan in its first run from 2001 to 2006. Liddy, the show’s oldest-ever contestant at age 75, competed with seven other celebrities in an episode that aired September 12, 2006.

Liddy and former child actor Tempestt Bledsoe won the first stunt, which had them removing flags from a safety vest while being violently dunked in a pool of water. Then after Bledsoe quit, he lasted the longest inside an isolation pod that subjected contestants to high temperatures, bugs, and other surprises to win a pair of Metropolitan Chopper motorcycles.

Liddy’s last TV and film credit was in 2009. After his death in 2021 at age 90, his son Thomas revealed Liddy had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a few years prior. He was survived by five children and 12 grandchildren.

How to Watch White House Plumbers

The first episode of White House Plumbers premieres Monday, May 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO, with four additional episodes airing weekly on Monday nights. The series will also stream on HBO Max .

Tyler Piccotti first joined the Biography.com staff as an Associate News Editor in February 2023, and before that worked almost eight years as a newspaper reporter and copy editor.

Timothée Chalamet - Audio Biography Timothée Chalamet - Audio Biography

• Entertainment News

Timothée Chalamet is a talented and versatile American actor who has captivated audiences with his performances on both the big and small screens. Born on December 27, 1995, in New York City, Chalamet grew up in an artistic family. His mother, Nicole Flender, is a real estate broker and former Broadway dancer, while his father, Marc Chalamet, is an editor for UNICEF. Chalamet's older sister, Pauline, is also an actress. Chalamet's passion for acting began at a young age. He attended LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where he honed his craft and participated in various school productions. During his time at LaGuardia, Chalamet appeared in several commercials and even had a brief role on the television series "Law & Order." After graduating from high school in 2013, Chalamet enrolled at Columbia University. However, he found it challenging to balance his academic pursuits with his growing acting career. After a year at Columbia, Chalamet transferred to New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where he was able to create his own curriculum and focus on his acting. Chalamet's breakout role came in 2017 with the independent film "Call Me by Your Name." Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the movie tells the story of a young man named Elio who falls in love with an older graduate student, Oliver, played by Armie Hammer. Chalamet's portrayal of Elio was widely praised by critics and audiences alike, and he received numerous accolades for his performance, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Following the success of "Call Me by Your Name," Chalamet's career continued to soar. He appeared in a string of critically acclaimed films, including "Lady Bird," "Hostiles," and "Beautiful Boy." In "Lady Bird," Chalamet played the role of Kyle Scheible, a charming but aloof love interest of the main character, played by Saoirse Ronan. The film, directed by Greta Gerwig, was a commercial and critical success, and further cemented Chalamet's status as a rising star in Hollywood. In "Hostiles," Chalamet portrayed a young soldier named Philippe DeJardin, who accompanies a group of Native Americans on a perilous journey across the American West. The film, which also starred Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike, showcased Chalamet's range as an actor and his ability to hold his own alongside seasoned performers. Chalamet's performance in "Beautiful Boy" earned him widespread acclaim and further established him as one of the most talented actors of his generation. In the film, Chalamet played the role of Nic Sheff, a young man struggling with drug addiction. The movie, which was based on the memoirs of Nic and his father, David Sheff, was a harrowing and emotionally charged portrayal of the devastating impact of addiction on individuals and families. Chalamet's performance was raw, authentic, and deeply moving, and he received numerous award nominations for his work in the film. In addition to his film work, Chalamet has also made a name for himself on the stage. In 2016, he appeared in the off-Broadway play "Prodigal Son," for which he received rave reviews. Chalamet's performance in the play showcased his versatility as an actor and his ability to command the stage with his presence and charisma. Chalamet's success has not been limited to the United States. He has also gained a significant following internationally, particularly in Europe. In 2019, Chalamet starred in the Netflix film "The King," which was based on Shakespeare's "Henry IV" and "Henry V." Chalamet played the role of King Henry V, a young monarch who must navigate the complex political landscape of 15th-century England. The film was a critical and commercial success, and further solidified Chalamet's status as a global star. Chalamet's talent and charisma have also made him a sought-after collaborator for many of Hollywood's most respected directors. He has worked with...

Supreme Court hears case about emergency abortion care

By CNN's Tierney Sneed, John Fritze, Hannah Rabinowitz, Jen Christensen and Holmes Lybrand

Idaho’s attorney tells Supreme Court that state law controls medicine

From CNN's John Fritze

Joshua Turner, arguing on behalf of Idaho, told the Supreme Court in opening remarks Wednesday that nothing in the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act preempts the state’s traditional power to regulate medicine.

The administration’s reading, Turner said, is “wholly untenable.”

“Licensing laws limit medical practice, that’s why a nurse isn’t able to perform open heart surgery,” he said. “The answer doesn’t change just because we’re talking about abortion.”

You will hear the acronym EMTALA mentioned a lot in today's arguments. Here's what it means 

From CNN’s Jen Christensen

A law called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, also known as EMTALA, is at the heart of a Supreme Court case that is before justices on Wednesday. It became law in 1986 after studies showed that  many hospitals were trying to save money by engaging in “patient dumping” or transferring a patient — often uninsured or a member of a minority community — to a public hospital without first providing appropriate care to stabilize them. 

A study at  Cook County Hospital at the time the law passed found that “dumped” patients were twice as likely to die as those who were treated at the hospital where they initially sought care. About a quarter of patients were transferred in what was considered an unstable condition. 

EMTALA required all US hospitals that received Medicare money — essentially nearly all of them — to screen everyone who came to their emergency rooms to determine whether the person had an emergency medical condition. The law then requires hospitals, to the best of their ability, to stabilize anyone with an emergency medical condition or transfer them to another facility that has that capacity. The hospitals must also treat these patients   “until the emergency medical condition is resolved or stabilized.” 

Why this matters to the Idaho case: In 1989 , after reports that some hospitals were refusing to care for uninsured women in labor, Congress expanded EMTALA to specifically say how it included people who were pregnant and having contractions. In 2021, the Biden administration released the  Reinforcement of EMTALA Obligation , which says the doctor’s duty to provide stabilizing treatment “preempts any directly conflicting state law or mandated that might otherwise prohibit or prevent such treatment” although it did not specify whether an abortion has to be provided.

In July 2022, the Biden administration’s  guidance  clarified that EMTALA includes the need to perform stabilization abortion care if it is medically necessary to treat an emergency medical condition.

Here's a look at where abortion access stands in Idaho and across other states:

Supreme Court arguments in major abortion case are underway

The Supreme Court’s arguments in what has the potential to be the most significant abortion case since the high court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago are now underway.

First up is Josh Turner, the chief of constitutional litigation and policy of the Idaho attorney general’s office.

Turner is expected to argue that the federal government cannot supplant the state’s strict ban on abortion by relying on a Reagan-era federal law that requires hospitals to “stabilize” patients who need emergency care.

Reproductive rights and anti-abortion protesters clash in front of Supreme Court ahead of arguments

From CNN's Gabe Cohen and Aileen Graef

Reproductive rights and anti-abortion activists clashed in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday just before arguments are slated to start in Moyle v. United States.

Justices are set to hear arguments regarding a law from the 1980s protecting a person’s right to an abortion if they have a life-threatening condition.

The two groups shouted phrases, including "abortion is health care" and "abortion is oppression," while standing shoulder-to-shoulder, highlighting the tense divisions surrounding the issue.

No significant physical altercation has been seen, but they were shouting in each others' faces at times.

Pregnancy complications are a common medical emergency and childbirth is riskier than abortion

From CNN’s Deidre McPhillips

Pregnancy complications are the fifth most common reason why women age 15 to 64 seek care at emergency departments in the United States, according to  data  published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. In 2021, pregnancy complications led to about two million emergency department visits, the CDC estimates.  

Warning signs of an emergency during pregnancy can include bleeding, chest pain and dizziness. There is not sufficient data to understand how many of these emergencies require an induced termination, or abortion.  

However, experts say that abortion bans may increase the number of pregnancy-related emergencies and that restricting the option to have an abortion in emergencies can threaten the health and livelihood of the pregnant person. 

“Abortion care is part of standard and proven medical practice to reduce risk and in some cases, save lives. Tying the hands of emergency medicine healthcare workers would pose a major threat to pregnant people and public health,” Dr. Ushma Upadhyay, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, said in an email. 

“Abortion care is extremely safe, safer than continuing a pregnancy to term,” she said. 

More context: One  study  from 2015 found that only 0.23% of abortions — including medication and procedural cases — resulted in a major complication that required hospital admission, surgery or blood transfusion. Meanwhile, a 2012  study  found that childbirth caused severe complications five times more often, or 1.3% of the time.

Maternal mortality in the US has increased sharply in recent years, rising from about 20 deaths for every 100,000 live births in 2020 to nearly 33 deaths for every 100,000 live births, according to a CDC  report  published last year. The latest abortion surveillance  data  from the CDC suggests that there was less than one death for every 100,000 legal abortions in the US. 

On the political front, Biden attacks Trump for "nightmare" of Dobbs decision

From CNN's Priscilla Alvarez and Nikki Carvajal

President Joe Biden on Tuesday launched one of his most forceful attacks of the 2024 campaign against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump – who he said was responsible for the “nightmare” caused by the overturning of Roe v Wade .

“For 50 years the court ruled that it was a fundamental constitutional right to privacy,” Biden said at a campaign stop.

“There’s one person who’s responsible for this nightmare, and he's acknowledged, and he brags about it. That’s Donald Trump.”

Democrats have seized on abortion ahead of November , hoping it could spur moderate voters – particularly women – to turn out in droves against Trump by tying the abortion bans directly to him. Biden’s campaign often cites Democratic successes in the 2022 midterms and off-year elections since Roe was overturned as examples of the issue driving voters to the polls.

Biden also poked fun at the former president for describing “the Dobbs decision as a miracle.”

“Maybe it’s coming from that Bible he’s trying to sell,” Biden joked. “I almost wanted to buy one to see what the hell’s in it."

Biden added: "Folks, it was no miracle — it was a political deal to get rid of Roe – a deal, a political deal he made with the evangelical base of the Republican Party.”

Lawyer for Idaho is making his debut at the Supreme Court

Arguing for Idaho is Josh Turner, a lawyer with Attorney General Raúl Labrador’s office who is making his debut at the Supreme Court.

Turner, whose title is chief of constitutional litigation and policy, joined Labrador���s office last year during a shakeup that involved several senior attorneys . He was previously a business litigation attorney at Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath .

Turner told Law360 recently that there was “a lot of clamoring” to represent the state before the Supreme Court but that he was “thankful that the attorney general has confidence in me to deliver the argument and represent the people of Idaho.”

What to know about Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who is arguing on behalf of the Biden administration

From CNN's Tierney Sneed

For the fourth time since she became the federal government’s top Supreme Court advocate, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar is arguing an abortion-related case.

The  dispute before the high court on Wednesday , about whether federal mandates for hospitals override strict state abortion bans in medical emergencies, shows how legal fights over abortion rights did not cease when the conservative majority ended a constitutional right to an abortion in 2022.

In the first two abortion-related cases Prelogar argued, the conservative majority rejected her calls that abortion rights be protected.

But she has eked out wins on other issues where the Biden administration was seemingly at odds with the court’s conservative proclivities, including in tussles over immigration policy and voting rights.

Prelogar, born in 1980, is a former Supreme Court clerk herself, having worked for both the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Elena Kagan. The Senate’s 53-36 vote confirming her as solicitor general made her the second women ever to serve in the role, with Prelogar following in the footsteps of Kagan, the solicitor general during the Obama administration.

An Idaho native, Prelogar attended Emory University and then Harvard Law School. She also clerked for her current boss, Attorney General Merrick Garland, when he was a DC Circuit judge, before her Supreme Court clerkships. She went on to litigate Supreme Court cases for private firms and worked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
