The second Sasha Colby was cast on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15, she was already a frontrunner. The former Miss Continental was already deemed a legend within drag communities, but Colby’s star power reached a new level on Friday when she was crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar by RuPaul.
She noticed the change almost immediately. “A beautiful older lady was eating ice cream and she stopped me and said, ‘Oh my God, you are Sasha Colby. It’s so nice to meet you. My friends are going to die.

Centred on a chaotic family coming to terms with an autism diagnosis, the Israeli comedy-drama “Yellow Peppers” never aired on British television, but it’s had a pronounced influence on British TV schedules over the past decade. First, it begat Peter Bowker’s direct adaptation “The A Word,” which over three series relocated several of its predecessor’s storylines to a picturesque Lake District setting, achieving the holy-grail combo of excellent reviews and high ratings for the BBC before finding a transatlantic home on Sundance TV.

Noteworthy as characters with Down’s syndrome played by actors with Down’s syndrome, these lovebirds first won hearts during a third-series subplot on “The A Word,” moving in together against the advice of their overprotective,...
