Stein, the 2000 series was titled “Son of the Beach.” The show starred Stack as Notchibald “Notch” Johnson, the older and out-of-shape leader of a band of lifeguards called the Shore Patrol Force 30 (yes,…
James Gray and Darren Aronofsky are among the big-name filmmakers getting honored at the 79th edition of the Locarno Film Festival this August.

Hair found in Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home contained no DNA, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said. “To find DNA on hair is extremely rare. Hair doesn’t produce DNA like touch DNA or bodily fluids,” Nanos told NBC News on Thursday, July 30. Nanos added to Fox News, “Yes, there was a hair.
