 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.

The inquiries, being conducted in Manhattan and Brooklyn, involve agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration and Homeland Security Investigations. It remains unclear whether the probes will result in criminal charges.

The investigations come amid a complex backdrop of U.S.-Colombian relations and President Trump’s history of leveraging legal cases in international politics. Trump has previously criticized Petro, calling him a “sick man,” and could potentially use the investigations to exert pressure on Colombia, a key partner in counter-narcotics operations, or to influence the upcoming presidential election in May. Petro’s office denies any involvement in drug trafficking and has emphasized the government’s efforts to curb coca cultivation and target armed trafficking groups. Earlier tensions between the two leaders included blocked U.S. flights, visa revocations, and U.S. sanctions against Petro and his family, though relations have shown signs of improvement with recent diplomatic engagement.
