 Burt Reynolds told Sandy Duncan he 'wanted to kill' her at height of 'Barney' fame, she says Sandy Duncan, whose career spans seven decades with Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe nominations, is still remembered by many for her brief role in Barney & the Backyard Gang.  In 1988, during a Hollywood writers’ strike, Duncan accepted the part of “Mom” in the direct‑to‑video children’s series about a purple dinosaur.  Though she had already built a reputation in family entertainment with Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and voice work for Scooby‑Doo and The Fox and the Hound, she admitted later that she was surprised by the project’s simplicity and returned to her regular work after filming three episodes.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer had initially blocked U.S. requests for base access but reversed course after Iran launched retaliatory strikes, permitting the use of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands and RAF Fairford. The decision, described by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch as a “mother of all U-turns,” comes amid renewed pressure from President Trump for European allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for nearly a fifth of the world’s oil supply.
