Tragic Details About The Cast Of The Bear

The following article contains mentions of addiction issues and suicide.

Since 2022, Hulu's "The Bear" has been captivating audiences with its heartwarming moments, tense familial drama, and realistic depictions of working in the culinary industry. So much so, that those who have previously worked in restaurants have referred to the show as "triggering," especially when it comes to the fast-paced nature and verbally abusive environment. While the stress that the characters in "The Bear" endure is of course manufactured, much of the cast has sadly experienced their own level of hardship in their lives.

Celebrities Who Look Totally Unrecognizable With Their Natural Hair Color

From Gwen Stefani's platinum blonde locks to Lucille Ball's fiery updo, there are a number of stars who you might have a hard time picturing without their signature hair color.

Tragic Details About The Cast Of Parks And Recreation

The following article contains mentions of mental health issues, sexual harassment, suicide, and hate crimes.

Although the most popular workplace mockumentary-style sitcom would probably have to be the American version of "The Office," "Parks and Recreation" was a close second for many, with its quirky ensemble cast and whacky scenarios. For seven seasons, NBC viewers tuned in to the show to see how the public officials of Pawnee, Indiana, would try to make their city a better place. Much of the cast of "Parks and Recreation" has since moved on to other projects. However, they will always be linked by two things: their shared time on the show, and the fact that nearly all of the cast have been touched by devastating circumstances.

"I did the play 'Annie,' which is, you know, the gateway drug for all girls trying to do theater," she jested. By 12 years old, Kendrick got her big break in a Broadway show — and, following her transition to Hollywood, her work has continued to be nothing short of impressive in the years since.

Tragic Details Of Alec Baldwin's Ex Kim Basinger

Confidential," for which she won an Oscar, and 2002's "8 Mile," she made a name for herself as an icon.

Although she had six children already after undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), she wanted one more — but that one baby ended up being eight. With such sudden notoriety, Suleman became the "poster person for mommy shaming," as she told E! News in March 2025.

Tragic Details About Cindy Crawford

The following article contains mentions of sexual harassment and mental health issues.

Back in 1986, after winning the Elite Look of the Year award, Cindy Crawford left Chicago's Northwestern University for New York City to kick off her modeling career — and never looked back. For the better part of 15 years, she worked her way up and became one of the most iconic models of her time. "[Over the years,] I've been able to assert myself more. As a young model, you show up and don't contribute much," Crawford explained to Elle in January 2025. "But as you get more confidence, you can be ... more collaborative. The more I felt like I was being heard, the more fun it was."
