What Happened to the Two ‘General Hospital’ Stars Who Died?

Joan Benedict, the talented actress, has died at the age of 96. According to her family’s spokesperson, the actress passed away on June 24 at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after suffering complications from a stroke.

The news of her death has left fans in shock, especially since it came just five days after the passing of another “General Hospital” star, Douglas Sheehan.

The outpouring of condolences from our Amomama readers has been overwhelming. Messages flooded in, with one fan writing, “My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families,” while another simply expressed their disbelief with, “Wow.”

A heartfelt sentiment shared by many was, “Rest in peace and prayers for her family.” Condolences for Sheehan’s family were equally poignant. One message read, “That’s too bad,” and another, “So sad.” A fan even shared a personal memory, saying, “I had such a crush on him. RIP.”

Sheehan, born in 1949, passed away at the age of 75 on June 29, 2024. He died peacefully at his home in Wyoming, with his loving wife, Cate Abert, by his side. Beyond his iconic role in “General Hospital,” Sheehan’s career was marked by numerous notable performances.

He portrayed Ben Gibson in the drama series “Knots Landing” and brought Brian Harper to life in the Emmy-nominated series “Day by Day.” His diverse acting credits also include roles in “That Was Then,” “What I Like About You,” “Passions,” and “Clueless,” among others.

While Sheehan had a remarkable career, Benedict has also left an indelible mark in the acting industry. Her illustrious career began in the vibrant heart of Brooklyn, New York. From the tender age of seven, she graced the stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, captivating audiences with her innate talent.

How Was the ‘Alf’ Star Found Dead in a Car?

“ALF” star Benji Gregory has passed away at 46 years old. A statement from his sister, Rebecca Hertzberg-Pfaffinger, reveals that, tragically, the beloved actor was found dead in his car which was in a bank parking lot, on June 13, as a result of what she and her family believe to be heatstroke.

“It is with a heavy heart my family has suffered a loss way too early. Ben was a great Son, Brother and Uncle. He was fun to be around and made us laugh quite often. Still, going through his things, I find myself laughing at little videos or notes of his, in between crying,” her statement disclosed.

“My brother Ben was found in his car, along with his beloved service dog Hans, deceased […] We believe he went there the evening of the 12th to deposit some residuals. (Found in his car) and never got out of the car to do so. He fell asleep and died from vehicular heatstroke,” she added.

Reportedly, the location where Gregory passed away is believed to be a Chase Bank ATM in Peoria, Arizona. However, the exact ATM location is unknown, as there are seven Chase ATMs/branches in Peoria—El Mirage and Vistancia, Bell Rd and 77th Ave, Beardsley and 83rd Ave, Thunderbird and 83rd Ave, Walk Up-110929, Peoria and 99th and Happy Valley and Lake Pleasant Rd.

Best known for being the youngest cast member on “ALF,” Gregory began his illustrious career as a child star, making his first show business debut at just 13 months old on “Fantasy Island.” However, after “ALF” had wrapped, the late entertainer stated that he had no interest in sustaining a TV career.

However, Gregory’s time on “ALF” was filled with pleasant experiences. Before his passing, he recalled fun moments when he would climb under the set’s stage and playfully mess around with the staff. “The only times it felt like work was when the lights were on and it was real hot,” Gregory reflected.

The young boy also made friends with his cast members like his TV sister, Andrea Elson, who recalls how, despite being a star, Gregory was a “normal kid,” who “wanted to get home to go skateboarding.”

While his interest in acting fizzled after “ALF,” Gregory did work on a few cartoon projects, where he performed voice-over work. However, he clarified, “I wasn’t actively trying to act anymore.”

When he was 22, he enrolled as a sophomore film major at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, where he lived in a house with three roommates. It was at the Academy of Art College where the late actor met his girlfriend, Sarah Hall, who later became his wife.

At this time, Gregory was able to afford his rent and lifestyle with the money he had earned from “ALF.” “I can pay my rent easily—most of the money is still in the bank—and I never get butterflies in my stomach when I have to talk in front of the class,” Gregory shared.

Interestingly, while Gregory did not want to make a return to acting, he did desire to get back into the entertainment industry, although he was not entirely sure of the position he wanted to pursue. He explored various careers before settling in Arizona with his wife, Hall.

In addition to Gregory’s sister, other family members and loved ones have spoken out about their grief. The former child star’s cousin, Camille Jazzy Jenkins, posted a heart-wrenching message on Facebook.

“Oh how I never imagined having to share this news. In complete sadness and shock our family has lost one of the most beloved and wonderful men in our small circle. My cousin Benjamin Hertzberg…professionally known as Benji Gregory transitioned […] from his earthly presence on June 13th,” she began.

“He as well as his loving service dog Hanz passed from heat exhaustion. It has taken some time to process and come to terms with our loss. We are not okay.. but take comfort knowing he is with his grandmothers. Please keep his sister, brother and parents in prayer 🙏 I love you Ben… ❤️,” Jenkins concluded.

Adam Casto, a close friend of Benji Gregory’s, also posted a statement about the actor’s demise. “I just found out my dear friend Benji Gregory. He has passed away. I’m gutted. Seriously… I don’t want to believe it,” he wrote.

What Does Julia Roberts’ New Haircut Look Like Now?

Silver screen legend Julia Roberts, 56, has flipped the script again, donning a new haircut after trying a new color. The “Pretty Woman” star was spotted on British soil with newly-cut blonde locks in recent photos shared online yesterday, July 9.

Complementing her stunning, voluminous hair, Roberts sported a white top, which she covered with a tweed blazer, and white pants that she fastened with a black belt. From the information given by several media outlets, it appears as though Roberts was channeling her upcoming role as a university professor.

Pictures of the Hollywood star, who also wore brown flats, showed her fully in character with a school ID card around her neck and a coffee mug and keys in her hands. The kind actress also took some time to smile and pose for the paparazzi who snapped photos of her on set.

According to reports, Roberts is in the middle of filming an upcoming movie called “After the Hunt,” which is directed by Luca Guadagnino, who appeared in one of the images with Roberts. While not many details about the film have been given yet, what is known is that the plot follows a protagonist (played by Roberts) who faces her past.

Starring alongside the actress in the film are fellow A-listers Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, Chloë Sevigny, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Seemingly confirming her role in Guadagnino’s pending project, Roberts shared a cast photo on her Instagram account on July 7. “Here we go! 🎥 🍿 📚 Luca!!!!! 🇮🇹🥰,” she penned alongside the group shot.

In this endearing image, Roberts stood out with her stylish blonde hair. Interestingly, a fashion outlet reveals that her long bob is a classic style that suits most facial shapes and hair types.

According to the outlet, a long bob strikes the right balance between not being “too trendy” and being ideal for the woman who is looking to switch things up with her hair, but not drastically so. In fact, a lot of hairstylists recommend the shoulder-length look, otherwise known as “the lob” (the longer bob).

Of the hairstyle, celebrity hairstylist Matt Fugate shares, “The lob makes all hair look thick and healthy. Also, the strong lines draw attention to bone structure and help frame [and flatter] the face.”

While Julia Roberts’ “lob” look may be new, her blonde color isn’t. The “Notting Hill” talent, known for her signature red hair, first debuted the change of color at a fund-raising gala in Los Angeles hosted by President Joe Biden. However, the change did not sit well with everybody.

Why Did Brad Pitt and His Girlfriend Cause a Buzz at the Race?

Some of Tinsetown’s brightest stars graced the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain with their attendance on July 7. Among those celebrities, Hollywood icon Brad Pitt and his rarely-seen partner, Ines de Ramon, were spotted walking hand-in-hand on the race tracks of Northampton. Online users have been weighing in with some strong opinions about the couple’s appearances.

Opting for both comfort and style, the Hollywood couple donned casual attire. de Ramon shined in a powder blue, long-sleeved dress, black ankle boots, and a gold pendant necklace and carried a light charcoal Fendi handbag called the “Peekaboo ISeeU Small.”

Currently listed online for $4,877.23 (€4,500) and created in 2009, the calfskin bag, like its name suggests, “plays with the beauty showcased on the outside and that concealed on the inside.”

Pitt, on the other hand, rocked a layered, white t-shirt, which he covered with a light yellow jacket. He paired his outfit with faded yellow pants, $95 “Custom CONS One Pro By You” Converse sneakers, and a $494.35 (DKK 3,400) Houndstooth Burberry bucket hat. Adding a layer of chicness to their looks, Pitt and de Ramon framed their eyes with shades.

Photos of the dynamic duo making their way through the event prompted reactions from netizens who questioned de Ramon’s fashion sense. “What a strange race day outfit. Blue dress with no bra,” asserted an Instagrammer.

Adding a snarky remark, another wrote, “Her: wait, let me put [on] this dress from 7th grade.” In response to the aforementioned comment, someone else replied, “[Such] an odd outfit to wear to the races 😭.”

Others took to pointing out famous women who they think de Ramon resembles physically. Referencing Hollywood star George Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney, one person said, “Amal for sure (face).” This same social media user also appears to think de Ramon may be pregnant, writing, “Blue/pregnant with baby- boy????”

Jumping on the lookalike bandwagon by adding Pitt’s ex-wife Angelina Jolie into the mix, another social media user pondered, “Am [I] tripping or she really looks like [Angelina Jolie]???” Echoing the sentiment, another eagle-eyed observer exclaimed, “[It’s] Angie’s look alike!”

Speaking about the Sussex Royal they think Ines de Ramon looks like while defending Brad Pitt, an admirer penned, “She looks a lot like Meghan Markle to me. Glad to see him doing well again. We’re a society that loves to punish, but we’re pretty good at second chances as well. I hope the public lets him have a second chance.”

Another fan gushed, “As long as you’re happy Brad, that’s all that matters. 😍😍😍.” Pitt certainly seems to be happy with his beloved girlfriend as the duo has been spotted love-struck on different occasions, like when they celebrated Pitt’s 60th last year (2023) in December. The couple had stepped out in style, wearing matching outfits, which ignited commentary from the public.
