Loud noises no problem. Heights 😵‍💫

Humans are born with just two innate fears: loud noises and falling. These hardwired responses help us survive in early life. The fear of falling was famously shown in the 1960 “visual cliff” experiment, where babies hesitated to crawl over a glass surface that looked like a drop. The fear of loud sounds shows up even earlier, triggering the startle reflex in newborns.

All other fears—like spiders, darkness, or public speaking—are learned through experience, culture, and observation. The “Little Albert” experiment showed how easily fear can be conditioned when a harmless object is paired with something frightening. Over time, our environment and upbringing shape the fears we carry.

May your weekend BE THIS GOOD! 📸

two decades ago when our husbands reserved the VIP table at Forty Deuce on Melrose in Hollywood, CA. Back when film cameras were the only option. We celebrated our 30th birthday 🎂 at a Burlesque club. 3 piece jazz band + talented entertainers.

Memories include grasping those pearl string stage curtains before falling on the stage 🤭, one of us may or may not have kissed Edward Norton, 1/2 dozen ladies squeezed into a one stall bathroom and assisted holding hair back where necessary, booze was served w/o mixers and we may have had to worst hangovers the next day. Listen, the guys said we were going to dinner and no food was served. But this night still serves as one of the MOST FUN birthday celebrations we’ve ever had. 🥳

It was on a Tuesday shortly before the start of the fall semester at the University of Florida in Gainesville, and I was sitting in my office at The Independent Florida Alligator, UF’s student-run newspaper, working on the latest issue of the “Applause” entertainment section, which I edited. At first, Stephanie could barely get any words out, but I had a sneaking, stomach-churning feeling. I knew why she was calling." | 📷: Getty
