It’s too bad the season premiere of “Dancing with the Stars” was limited to those with Disney+ subscriptions.
Actress Selma Blair, who’s living with multiple sclerosis, offered such a beautiful Viennese waltz it was hard to find a dry eye in the house. She was ably led by partner Sasha Farber and got a 28 – one of the highest scores of the night.

While the 16 ran the gamut , they did have “stories” and a back pocket song that could be used when needed. Because many aren’t readily recognizable , it’s going to take some fancy footwork to keep them in the hunt.
Banks towers over Ribeiro but isn’t as “America’s Top Model”-ish as she was in the past. She’s cooled the fashion show, too, and appeared respectful when Blair’s turn came.
