Whatever Happened to Kristin Holby from ‘Trading Places’?

July 21, 2025

Let’s be honest: you probably don’t remember Kristin Holby’s name. But you remember the face—cool, elegant, framed by that impossibly perfect 1980s hair, moving through Trading Places with the detached ease of someone who never expected life to be anything but smooth. She was Penelope Witherspoon: the fiancée, the status symbol, the kind of person you only ever see at fundraisers and on the cover of old Town & Country magazines your parents left in the attic.

Bread and soup during the Great Depression

What you’re seeing here is a snapshot of hunger—not the gnawing you get when you skip lunch, but a slow, humiliating starvation that cuts at pride and dignity. Four men, maybe more behind them, hunched at a counter. Their faces are weathered, their hats battered, their eyes hollowed out by fatigue. They’re eating bread and soup, the kind that’s stretched thin so everyone gets a little, but no one ever gets enough.

16 Fascinating Photos Collected From History

A man holding his daily ration of food (125 grams of bread, of which 50–60% consisted of sawdust) during the Siege of Leningrad, 1941-1944

More civilians died of starvation, cold and disease in the first few months of the siege than all the US Military deaths in all theaters of the war.

Total US military deaths from all causes: 407,000

Total number of dead from the beginning of the siege, September ’41, to December ’41: 780,000, almost entirely civilian deaths.

And the siege lasted 900 days. Out of a population of around 3.5 million civilians, 400,000 survived in the city.

11 Unforgettable Moments When Sitcoms Got Serious

July 14, 2025

If you grew up watching sitcoms, you probably have a weird, inexplicable ability to recall the theme song to Family Matters with more accuracy than your own Social Security number. You can picture the geometry of Monica’s apartment better than the layout of your first real job. But there’s something that doesn’t quite fit the laugh track—those moments when the show stops being about who ate the last slice of pizza and starts asking what it actually means to be alive, or at least alive within 23 minutes and a couple of ad breaks.
