Or Mary Ann Mobley?

In Morning Report of Nov. 29, you reported about a spoof in the Onion, a Madison, Wis. publication, about plans to re-release “The Big Chill” in a “newly contextualized, digitally re-zeitgeisted format.”

One example you cited stated, “In one new scene, Glenn Close and Mary Beth Hurt discuss menopause.” This is where I got confused. Since Mary Beth Hurt was never in “The Big Chill” (Mary Kay Place was), was this statement part of the parody, a mistake by the Onion (which means they should research better before attempting a parody) or an L.A. Times mistake in reporting? I’d love to know.

“Mary Beth Hurt” is what the Onion printed and what we happily, if erroneously, reprinted.
