TV and movie star Steve Forrest, best remembered for his role on the Aaron Spelling-produced cop drama "S.W.A.T.," died May 18 at his home in Thousand Oaks, California, at age 87.

"S.W.A.T." aired for just two seasons on ABC in 1975-76, but the concept proved so popular that a big-screen adaptation starring Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson was released in 2003. Forrest made a cameo appearance in the movie, while the role he played in the series — S.W.A.T. leader Lt. Dan "Hondo" Harrelson — was played by Jackson.

Forrest had a prolific TV career in addition to "S.W.A.T.," starring in many of the most popular series in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, including "The Twilight Zone," "The Virginian," "Rawhide," "The Fugitive," "Bonanza," "Gunsmoke," "Mission: Impossible," "The Streets of San Francisco," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "Cannon," "Kojak," "Columbo," "Hotel," "L.A. Law," "Murder, She Wrote," and "Dallas."

The actor, the younger brother of "The Best Years

In Showtime's new trailer for the upcoming eighth — and final — season of "Dexter," everybody's favorite serial killer (Michael C. Hall) is up to his kill apron in women looking to do him in, and the preview doesn't even include the woman who could end up being Dexter's ultimate doom.

That would be Mr. Morgan's ex, Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski, "Chuck"), who, when last we saw her, had escaped from police custody in the hospital and then left an ominous black orchid at Dexter's door.

She's definitely back for the show's final season, and the storyline is such an intense, potentially spoiler-filled part of the final run that Strahovski tells Yahoo! TV she can't even tell us when she first appears in Season 8, or how many episodes she'll appear in.

"Unfortunately, those are things I can't share, because the big question is for Hannah, because she got away … what has she been doing all this

Oscar winner Michael Douglas has a lot to celebrate this week — rave reviews for his performance as Liberace in HBO's movie "Behind the Candelabra," and his healthier wife, fellow Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones, who just today emerged from treatment for bipolar II disorder. The actor said he's particularly grateful for his career comeback "Candelabra" marks after the stage 4 throat cancer battle that nearly ended his life in 2010.

"It was right after my cancer," Douglas said, pausing as he got choked up, in a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday. "And this beautiful gift was handed to me, and I'm eternally grateful for … everyone for waiting for me."

Douglas is referring to "Candelabra" director Steven Soderbergh and co-star Matt Damon — portraying Liberace's lover Scott Thorson — who put the "Candelabra" project on hold to give Douglas time to fully recuperate from physically devastating cancer treatment. Soderbergh and Damon's consideration is particularly

We'll get to see Michael Douglas playing the piano as Liberace in HBO's May 26 movie "Behind the Candelabra" — and the Oscar winner does a fine, fine job of playing the over-the-top performer — but for those who may want to become a little more familiar with the handiwork of the real Liberace, here's a roundup of 10 choice videos of the superstar in action, acting, dancing, singing, and, of course, playing the piano.

Liberace Teaches Lou Ferrigno How to Play the Piano ... Sorta

Liberace met the Hulk — "The Incredible Hulk" star Lou Ferrigno — during a January 1980 episode of "The Mike Douglas Show" and gave the actor a brief lesson in piano playing ... and costuming for piano playing. Side note: Did they just slap green body makeup on Ferrigno for his TV series? Because he looks very Hulkian, even in his street clothes.

Liberace vs. Batman

In a pair of Season 2 episodes from the 1966-68 "Batman" TV series, Liberace guest-starred as a Gotham City villain — make that two villains. Not only

The tense, haunting Sundance Channel drama "Rectify" wraps up its first season tonight, and one big question continues to hang over the story: Did Daniel Holden, newly exonerated and released from prison after 19 years on death row for raping and murdering his teenage girlfriend, commit the crime?

The series, created by Oscar-winning filmmaker and actor Ray McKinnon ("Sons of Anarchy"), has been so mesmerizing, so beautifully written and purposefully slow-paced, as we've watched Daniel — who was just 18 when he was locked up — stumble back into a very different world, that at times most viewers have probably forgotten to ask themselves that question.

Daniel was exonerated on a technicality (lack of DNA evidence), and though he later maintained that he was innocent, he originally confessed to the crime. Was he coerced into a false confession, a fairly common occurrence among younger defendants? Or did he really do it?
