Report: Alisa Goods Found Dead Near Las Vegas Airport https://bit.ly/4xVX8HS

Alisa Goods, a 63-year-old grandmother who was visiting Las Vegas from New York, had been missing for nearly two weeks.

We are sad to report that actor Michael Wright has passed away. With a career that has left a lasting mark on the culture, Michael brought soul and depth to every role. But his role as Eddie King Jr. in The Five Heartbeats is a performance that still moves us decades later, raw, unforgettable, and deeply human. His powerful turn in Streamers proved his range, and his work across film and television showed an artist fully committed to his craft.

He was more than the characters he played. He was a storyteller who reflected our lives, our struggles, and our joy on screen. Today we celebrate a career that inspired so many and a legacy that will live on through every frame.

Rest in power
