NEW HOPE, Pa. (AP) — Dayle Haddon, an actor, activist and trailblazing former “Sports Illustrated” model who pushed back against age discrimination by reentering the industry as a widow, has died in a Pennsylvania home from what authorities believe was carbon monoxide poisoning. Authorities in Bucks County found Haddon, 76, dead in a second-floor bedroom Friday morning after emergency dispatchers were notified about a person unconscious at the Solebury Township home. A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J. Blucas of Erie was hospitalized in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak.” Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb.com , including 1994’s “Bullets Over Broadway,” starring John Cusack. Haddon left modeling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to reenter the workforce after her husband's 1991 death. This time she found the modeling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,’” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estée Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company's anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s “The Early Show.” "I kept modeling, but in a different way," she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organization aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalized communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan.' Haddon was born in Toronto and began modeling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes — she began her career with the Canadian ballet company Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website . Haddon's daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.” “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said.SEC THIS WEEK
Tech billionaire Elon Musk spent at least $270 million to help Donald Trump win the US presidency, according to new federal filings, making him the country's biggest political donor. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk, the world's richest person, was an ardent supporter of Trump's White House campaign -- funneling money into door knocking operations and speaking at his rallies. His financial backing, which has earned him a cost-cutting advisory role in Trump's incoming government, surpassed spending by any single political donor since at least 2010, according to data from nonprofit OpenSecrets. The Washington Post reported that Musk spent more this election cycle than Trump backer Tim Mellon, who gave nearly $200 million and was previously the Republican's top donor. Musk donated $238 million to America PAC, a political action committee that he founded to support Trump, filings late Thursday with the Federal Election Commission showed. An additional $20 million went to the RBG PAC, a group that used advertising to soften Trump's hardline reputation on the key voter issue of abortion. Musk has been an ever-present sidekick for Trump since his election victory in November, inviting him to watch a rocket launch in Texas by his SpaceX company. Trump has selected the South African-born tycoon and fellow ally Vivek Ramaswamy to head the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, through which the pair have promised to deliver billions of dollars of cuts in federal spending. However, with Musk's businesses all having varying degrees of interactions with US and foreign governments, his new position also raises concerns about conflict of interest. The president-elect has nominated several people close to Musk for roles in his administration, including investor David Sacks as the so-called AI and crypto czar. Meanwhile, billionaire astronaut Jared Isaacman, who has collaborated with Musk's SpaceX, was named the head of US space agency NASA. pgf-bjt/acb
'A blessing' | Eight high school football teams practice during Thanksgiving weekAndoni Iraola will hope his Bournemouth side can continue their remarkable start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when they travel to Portman Road where they will face Ipswich Town on Sunday. The hosts are third last in 18th place with just nine points, and their 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on December 3 meant they fell three points behind safety, while the Cherries beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Thursday and are in ninth place with 21 points. Ipswich will be disappointed that they failed to create many chances at home against Palace, with the team producing just three shots in the first half and just one shot on target in the second. Across 14 matchweeks, the Blues have had the fewest touches inside the opposition's penalty area and also mustered the fewest shots on target per game of any club in the top flight. Boss Kieran McKenna noted that his team struggled in the final third against Palace, but highlighted his players' defensive performance, saying: "We didn't manage to create the game that we wanted or the chances that we wanted. Having said that, neither did the opponent. We were solid, there was very little in the game and very few opportunities at either end." McKenna's side have scored 13 goals and conceded on 25 occasions in the top flight, and these records make them the division's third worst offensive and sixth worst defensive team in the division. Ipswich are in poor form having lost five of their eight most recent fixtures in the Premier League, but while they have lost their last two, they did draw two and win one of the prior three. The home team are yet to win any of their seven games at Portman Road this season, being held to a stalemate four times, and they have also not kept a clean sheet in that period. Meanwhile, the Cherries come into the clash after deservedly defeating Tottenham, a match in which they created an incredible seven big chances while limiting Spurs to just one. Iraola thought his side should have scored more, but was pleased with their overall showing, telling reporters: "Luckily we finished the job but there were moments when we thought that if we did not kill them, they would punish us. Our defensive performance was most pleasing. We did not give them many chances at all. Everyone defensively was very good." The Cherries' clean sheet was just their second in 18 matches, though they have netted in each of their last seven fixtures, producing 13 goals. Bournemouth have a strong record against the Premier League's elite, with the club emerging as victors against Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City this campaign . The visitors are in good form, as while they have won two and lost two of their past four league outings, they have triumphed in four and drawn one of their seven most recent games. However, Bournemouth's away record is concerning given they have lost eight, drawn two and won just three of their last 13 matches on the road. Ipswich will be without defender Axel Tuanzebe due to a hamstring injury until late December, while goalkeeper Cieran Slicker is not likely to return until the middle of this month. The hosts could shield goalkeeper Arijanet Muric behind a defence consisting of Harry Clarke , Dara O'Shea , Jacob Greaves and Leif Davis . Chiedozie Ogbene is unavailable as a result of an achilles tendon injury, while George Hirst 's knee issue may prevent him from featuring again until later this month. Expect Wes Burns , Omari Hutchinson and Jack Clarke to support striker Liam Delap in front of a double pivot of Jack Taylor and Sam Morsy . As for Bournemouth, defender Julian Araujo and midfielder Alex Scott are certain to miss out due to respective hamstring and meniscus injuries. The Cherries could select a midfield double pivot of Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie , who have started together in the team's last two games. Luis Sinisterra could return to the matchday squad, but he will likely have to make do with a place on the bench given the form of Antoine Semenyo , Justin Kluivert , Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson . Centre-back Marcos Senesi is a doubt, so perhaps Iraola will field Illia Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen in the heart of defence considering both started against Spurs. Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Muric; Clarke, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Taylor; Burns, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson Bournemouth's poor away record and defensive frailty could be something that the hosts look to exploit in the first half, taking advantage of any tired legs following the Cherries' win on Thursday. However, Ipswich' struggles in the final third could give the visitors the opportunity they need to assert their dominance as the game goes on, and it would not be surprising if the points were shared on Sunday.
