Sheryl Lee Ralph is ‘fabulous’ in new film
Award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph stars alongside fellow entertainment legends Susan Sarandon and Megan Mullally as longtime friends traveling to Key West for the wedding of another good pal, played by Bette Midler, in ”The Fabulous Four.”
ATLANTA – Fabulous Four Movie Junket:
Emmy Award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph is having the time of her life in the new comedy “The Fabulous Four.”
Ralph stars alongside fellow entertainment legends Susan Sarandon and Megan Mullally as longtime friends traveling to Key West for the wedding of another good pal, played by Bette Midler. And while the Florida setting may look convincing on-screen, the four stars actually filmed the movie here in Georgia.
“We were shooting in beautiful downtown Savannah,” says Ralph. “We were in a very difficult time because we were shooting during the strike. You know, we were one of the few films that got the union ‘OK’ to shoot, because we were so far into the work of the film. And, you know, we had all these little hiccups and things, but when I saw the movie, I said, ‘Wow, sometimes the most stressful things just turn out to be the best things,’ because the movie was so good.”
Ralph, of course, soared to fame and scored a Tony Award nomination for her performance in the Broadway classic “Dreamgirls.” And since her three co-stars also have extensive musical experience, we had to ask about the possibility of a “The Fabulous Four” stage musical adaptation.
“Well, look at it this way, I am doing a wonderful TV series called ‘Abbott Elementary’ that takes up most of my time,” says the star. “So, we probably have to wait five or six years for that to happen!”
“The Fabulous Four” opens in theaters this Friday, July 26 from Bleecker Street — click here for more information on the film.

2 arrested in deadly drive-by shooting of 7-year-old Atlanta girl, police say
Two suspects in a shooting that left a 7-year-old Atlanta girl dead and her mother injured are now in custody nearly a week after the violence, police say.
The shooting happened around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 24 at a home on the 2200 block of Tiger Flowers Drive NW.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute between one of the victim’s family members and the gunman over the phone. Thirty minutes after the argument, the suspect came back and fired shots into the home, police said.
Officers responding to the scene found a 44-year-old woman and her daughter, identified as 7-year-old Zoe Price, shot. Medics rushed the pair to a local hospital, but Price died from her injuries.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said the department’s homicide unit secured an arrest warrant for 19-year-old Preston Smith two days after the shooting. Smith turned himself in to the Fulton County Jail on March 2.
Schierbaum said officers executed a search warrant on Feb. 27 at a home on McDaniel Street. On that day, 17-year-old Steven Richardson, who police described as an “accomplice,” turned himself in to authorities.
Both men are charged with murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, three counts of aggravated assault, second-degree criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and four counts of third-degree cruelty to children. Richardson is also charged with possession of a Firearm by a Person Under 18.
At a press conference to announce the arrests, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens described Price as a bright and compassionate little girl who was “full of energy and full of joy.”
“Her life was cut short in an act of senseless violence, and that loss is not abstract. It is a chair that is going to be missing at the dinner table each night. It is an empty classroom seat next to her friends,” Dickens said.
The mayor called the arrests “a step forward towards justice” for Price’s family and families across the city.
Dickens said that violence, like the act that took Price’s life, would not be tolerated in Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves News: Top 30 Prospects, Starting Pitching Depth, More
On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any of these three arms this season, they are a part of the “next man up” group for the Braves if injury again impacts the rotation. Each had a solid effort today, a trend that will hopefully continue.
