Yawn...We Sort Of Know How It Turns Out

OJ Simpson Ford Bronco Chase Filmed for 'American Crime Story' 

By Michael Rothman, Jun. 11, 2015, ABC News

More than two decades after the chase that had millions glued to their TV screens, FX recreated the O.J. Simpson white Ford Bronco chase with police for the series "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson."

Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding Jr., 47, can be seen in the iconic white Bronco, the same type of vehicle that the football star was in on the freeway, while police trailed behind in 1994.

More than 90 million tuned in to watch this chase, where eventually O.J. got on the phone with police and gave his side of the story while Al Cowlings, Simpson’s friend, drove the car.

Gooding Jr. will play Simpson on the show, which focuses on the mid-1990's murder trial. Malcolm-Jamal Warner plays Cowlings.

Simpson, 67, was eventually arrested for the murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown, but acquitted months later in what was billed as the trial of the century.

Shelly Sterling said today she doesn't think Donald Sterling is a racist, but she believes her estranged husband is in the "onset of dementia."

"I -- in my opinion, I think he -- it's the onset of dementia," Shelly Sterling told ABC News' Barbara Walters today in an exclusive interview.

Sterling told Walters her husband said, "I don't remember saying that. I don't remember ever saying those things," after hearing the audiotape of him telling V. Stiviano not to promote her relationship with black people and not to bring them to Los Angeles Clippers games.

"I said, 'Well, this is the tape.' And he says, 'Hmm. I don't remember it,'" she added. "That's when I thought he had dementia."

She said she never heard him say derogatory things toward black or Hispanic people before she heard the tape, but she did not blame the incident on dementia.

Sterling, herself accused of making inflammatory remarks toward other races in the past, said she's never said any racist remarks either.

"I'm not a racist," she said. "I've never been a racist."

Sterling said that if the NBA tries to force her to sell her half of the Clippers, she would "absolutely" fight to keep her stake in the team.

The league announced Friday that former Citigroup chairman and current Time Warner chairman Richard Parsons has been named interim CEO of the team, but nothing concrete in terms of ownership or whether Shelly Sterling will be forced to sell her share of the team.

"I don't love him. I pity him and I feel sorry for him" - Shelly Sterling
