It's April 5th. This is entertainment in celebrity news, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. You might remember Cheryl Pollock from her early Hollywood days, teaming up with Brad Pitt in his first big lead role in the 1988. Flick, the dark side of the sun, plus a guest spot together on 21 Jump Street. Now 58, she popped up last Saturday at a No Kings protest in Palm Desert, California, holding a sign slamming the Iran War as Operation Epic. Failure. A jab at the government's Operation Epic Fury. She kicked off acting in 19 with the horror comedy, My Best Friend is a Vampire. Then hit shows like Melrose Place, Alien Nation, and Quantum. Leap, and star opposite Christian Slater in the 1990 Teen Drama, pump up the volume. These days, folks are buzzing online about her low-key vibe at the rally, rocking shades, a baseball cap, cut off shorts, and a collared shirt while, chilling at a Mexican spot nearby,
no marching, just sipping refreshments with her sign. Pollock wrapped her acting career in 2002, with a straight to video thriller, shifted to directing a bit, last project being a 2000, 12 animated short, and has been married to director Richard Murphy since 1999. Spotting stars like her at these protests shows how the old guard stays fired up on politics, keeping that Hollywood-ed sharp even decades later.
