Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
From TV star Angie Harmon to the Clearwater, Florida-based Little Greek restaurant, the National Herald provides community coverage.
LOS ANGELES – Greek-American actress ANGIE HARMON, who stars as police detective JANE RIZZOLI on the hit television series RIZZOLI & ISLES is in the midst of a successful sixth season on the TNT network, and the show was recently picked up for a seventh season next year, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Harmon won the PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS for favorite actress in a cable TV drama, and the show won the award for favorite drama. She married former NFL player JASON SEHORN in 2001; he proposed to her three years earlier when both were on THE TONIGHT SHOW, then hosted by JAY LENO.
Sirius/XM reported that Harmon said the main problem for the couple, who have three daughters, was that they were apart due to their professional lives about six months out of every year.
Earlier this summer, Harmon told Access Hollywood how lucky she is because the Rizzoli & Isles crew is very supportive of giving Harmon time to spend with her three girls – who live on the East Coast.
