October 27, 2026 Blind Item #17 - One Time In the past, I have written about this former A- list actress who was set to be the next big thing. She was in everything and with some of the biggest stars on the planet. As her side job she was the most well paid Dominatrix in the world and it wasn't even close. Then, one day she finds love, quits acting and quits being a Dominatrix and she has never looked back. She is happily married with a family and good for her. So, one time she is filming one of the bigger movies of her career and it is taking forever to film. This married A+ list actor finally works up the courage to ask about her other services. She doesn't mention a price. Technically, he was kind of her boss in the movie, and at the very least could get her fired. His wife was always around, but they worked out a time and place and she rocked his world. He liked it so much, he came back every other day for about three weeks until his wife started catching on. A few days later, a package was delivered to her trailer and a check was inside for $2M. The crazy thing is that was not even close to her biggest payday.

Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer. What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out. And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting. That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her. These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again. They remain some of the most honest conversations about death, love and what it means to be human ever put on screen…
