 Terry Crews’ Wife Rebecca Reveals Parkinson’s Battle 11 Years After Diagnosis: ‘Seeing Improvement’ Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, have opened up about a deeply personal health journey that the family has been quietly navigating for more than a decade. During Monday’s episode of the Today show, Rebecca, 60, revealed that she has been living with Parkinson’s since receiving her diagnosis in 2015, though the first warning signs appeared years earlier. Looking back, she said it all began around 2012 with a slight numbness in her left foot. Not long after, her trainer noticed something unusual in the way she walked, particularly that one of her arms was no longer swinging naturally. Then came the moment that truly raised alarm. Rebecca recalled waking up one morning to find her hand shaking, a tremor that made it clear something more serious might be happening. At first, she said a doctor suggested it was anxiety and reassured her that she would be fine. Still, trusting...

SHELLY FIREMAN, SHOWMAN RESTAURATEUR BELOVED BY SHOWGOERS, DIES AT 93.(PHOTO).

 Shelly Fireman, showman restaurateur beloved by showgoers, dies at 93

Shelly Fireman, the renowned New York restaurateur who helped popularize Italian cuisine for mainstream American diners, died on Oct. 9 in Manhattan at the age of 93. He passed away in a hospital following a stroke. Fireman’s hospitality empire, the Fireman Hospitality Group, operates eight restaurants in New York and two near Washington, D.C.

Known for his flair and showmanship, Fireman’s establishments, such as Cafe Fiorello across from Lincoln Center and Bond 45 in the theater district, focused on theatrical décor and extravagant presentations rather than celebrity chefs. Cafe Fiorello, which opened on Broadway in 1974, introduced housemade ravioli, fried artichokes, and artisan-style pizzas that gained widespread acclaim and remain popular today. Born in the Bronx, Fireman also maintained a home in Tuscany, drawing inspiration from Italian culture for his menu and restaurant concepts. One of his signature innovations was the antipasto bar, first introduced at Trattoria dell’Arte near Carnegie Hall in 1988, featuring a variety of vegetables and Italian specialties.

Fireman, a sculptor in his spare time, strategically placed his restaurants near cultural hubs, aiming to attract theatergoers and concert attendees with visually striking dishes and generous portions. Bond 45, which opened in 2005 on the former site of a clothing store, earned praise for its vibrant atmosphere and broad appeal. Other notable ventures included the Redeye Grill, famous for its giant bronze shrimp sculptures and “dancing shrimp” dish, and Brooklyn-themed restaurants designed to draw crowds with name recognition. While some of his projects, like Fiorella and Florian, eventually closed, Fireman maintained a focus on consistency rather than chasing trends, emphasizing enduring appeal over fleeting culinary fashions.

Sheldon Martin “Shelly” Fireman was born on Nov. 22, 1931, the eldest of two children in a Bronx family. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School and Hartwick College but did not graduate. Fireman launched his first venture, the Hip Bagel, in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, catering to jazz musicians and artists, before moving on to projects like the Tin Lizzie steakhouse. He remained creatively active into his 90s, opening Paris Bar and Le Jardin rooftop bar in 2024. Fireman is survived by his wife, Marilyn, and their son, John. His career left an indelible mark on New York dining, blending theatricality, generous portions, and Italian-inspired flavors for decades of hungry showgoers.
