Barry Williams was 14 when The Brady Bunch turned him into everyone’s big brother, a job that came with bell-bottoms and the very analog version of going viral. “We went from being who we were in our lives and then doing something that we all enjoyed doing, but was professional and focused and concentrated, and then went out into public,” the ’70s teen idol told Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan on the May 20 episode of The Magnificent Others . “And our lives were changed dramatically by that, because that’s a very profound experience to assimilate with growing up and being a teenager.” At its peak, The Brady Bunch was pulling up to 45 million viewers a week, which is the kind of number that makes today’s streaming charts blink twice. Netflix’s No. 1 global show last week, The Roast of Kevin Hart , drew 13.5 million views. Different era, different metric—but still. Williams and the rest of the Brady clan had blockbuster...

As spring sunlight stretches across alpine ridgelines and coastal trails alike, America’s outdoor season is shifting into high gear. Hikers are dusting off trekking poles, paddlers are returning to winding rivers and national parks are once again filling with travelers eager for fresh air and long trail days. But according to a new report from mountain apparel company Kühl, the best adventure destinations aren’t always the states with the biggest mountains or the most famous wilderness areas. Instead, accessibility, trail density and year-round usability are reshaping what it means to be an outdoor haven in 2026. The rankings reveal a few surprising standouts—including a tiny Northeastern state typically not associated with the outdoors outranking more famous adventure destinations like Colorado. As a full-time travel writer and guidebook author who’s had the pleasure of visiting all 50 states at least once, I’m happy to share these report results wi...

There’s something undeniably satisfying about the revenge outfit. You know the one: the look you pull out when you want to walk into a room and let your ex, your former boss or honestly anyone who underestimated you know, without saying a single word, that you’re doing just fine. It’s why the idea of the revenge dress has stuck around for decades, from Princess Diana’s now-iconic little black dress to the countless post-breakup outfits many of us have strategically worn to a random run-in we hoped might happen. It’s petty, maybe. But it’s also kind of awesome. Lately, though, that same energy has moved beyond your closet and straight to your makeup bag. There’s a new revenge trend taking over, and it has nothing to do with finding the perfect dress. It’s a beauty move—one I’ve tried myself and absolutely love! Read on to find out what everyone’s calling the new revenge dress, plus a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it ...

Ever wondered what it’s really like to marry a prince? It all looks like a fairy tale in Netflix movies … but in real life, well, reality kicks in. And we’re not just talking about the tons of royal dress code rules you have to follow once you’re officially part of “The Firm.” Or the millions of royal fans around the world who watch and love (or judge) your every step. It actually all starts way before you’ve made it to the altar. Take the engagement ring. It’s not simply a pretty piece a prince picks out and hopes his bride-to-be will love.

Spirit was the airline everyone swore they’d never fly again, right up until they saw that $42 ticket and suddenly didn’t mind packing one backpack and a little patience. As flight prices kept climbing, Spirit Airlines became the go-to for travelers who cared more about getting there cheap than getting there in style. Now that the airline is out of the picture, it’s fair to wonder if those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fares went with it. With airfare costing what feels like a monthly utility bill these days, cheap getaways can seem like a thing of the past. But don’t start mourning budget travel just yet, because there are still a few airlines keeping low-cost flights alive , even if you have to dig a little to find them. Read on to see which airlines are keeping low fares on the map. Get  Reader’s Digest ’s  Read Up newsletter for more travel, cleaning, humor, tech and fun facts all week long.

Actor Russell Andrews has shared some heartbreaking news with the world: He’s been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS. The news comes just three months after Andrews’  Grey’s Anatomy co-star, Eric Dane, died from the disease . On May 16, Andrews, who is best known for his roles in  Better Call Saul and  Straight Outta Compton , was interviewed on CNN’s The Story Is with Elex Michaelson when he shared his diagnosis with the world. “I am a person living with ALS,” he said during the interview. Andrews, 64, was diagnosed in the fall of 2025. “It’s been humbling but there’s… Elex, there’s also something in the fact that I walked into a family of very caring people I did not know a year ago—the cliché family, but they have not let us miss a step in terms of care, the attention, the awareness and the ability to get me here today,” Andrews said. He w...

Barbra Streisand will be honored at the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival in late May—but she won’t be attending. Streisand is set to receive a Palme d’Or award on May 23 alongside actor John Travolta and filmmaker Peter Jackson. However, the iconic singer confirmed that she wouldn’t be able to travel to France for the event due to an injury. “On the advice of my doctors, as I continue recovering from a knee injury, I am sadly unable to attend the Festival de Cannes this year,” Streisand said in a statement. “But I am deeply honored to receive the Honorary Palme d’or and had so been looking forward to celebrating the remarkable films of the 79th edition. I was also very much looking forward to spending time with colleagues whom I so admire – and, of course, returning to France, a place I have always loved. While I regret that I can’t be there in person, I want to extend my warmest congratulations to all of the filmm...

Like most health-conscious people, I’m absolutely obsessive about applying sunscreen before spending a day in the sun. But when I’m dashing out to walk my dog or run to the store, I have to admit I can be a bit haphazard about coverage. I’ll swipe a high-SPF on my face and then quickly spray my arms and legs, just hoping I covered my bases. And I know I’m not the only one. But when we speed-slather, are we botching our coverage? It’s crucial to make sure we’re doing SPF right, because “daily, consistent sunscreen use has been shown to reduce the risk of melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma,” says Tiffany J. Libby, MD, director of Mohs Micrographic and Dermatologic Surgery at Brown Dermatology in Providence, Rhode Island. “It’s also the No. 1 anti-aging intervention, as up to 80% to 90% of visible skin aging is driven by UV exposure.” But sunscreen does the job only if you apply it thoroughly, adds Joshua Zeichner, MD, as...
