Singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter seems to have exploded on the music scene, but her path to the top of the pop charts started more than a decade ago, posting videos on Youtube. And now, her latest album, "Short n' Sweet," debuted at #1. Correspondent Tracy Smith met with Carpenter during rehearsals of her stage show to talk about how the shutting of her Broadway show "Mean Girls" was a blessing in disguise; casting her boyfriend Barry Keoghan in the music video for her hit "Please Please Please"; and crediting her family (and caffeine) for the ability to deal with success.
After the terror group Hamas massacred Israelis on October 7, 2023, the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem began collecting art, memorabilia, tributes and oral testimonies that speak to the horror of that time for its archives. Their growing collection of millions of items, called "Bearing Witness," aims to be the definitive record of that terrible day and its aftermath. Likewise, the Palestinian Museum in the West Bank city of Birzeit has been collecting and displaying artwork by Gazan artists that document the devastation of the ongoing war. Correspondent Seth Doane talks with curators about bridging the cultural and political rift through art, and preserving the human stories that, they say, must be told.
Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates sits down with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz to talk about her new TV show "Matlock," which explores the "invisibility" of women of a certain age.

Pharrell Williams, a self-described misfit who grew up in Virginia Beach, Va., saw and heard the world differently than most people. He has built a fascinating career as a musician, performer, and now creative director for Louis Vuitton Men. He talked with "Sunday Morning" contributor Kelefa Sanneh about the joy he finds in creativity, and about his new movie, "Piece by Piece," an animated film that depicts Williams and all other characters as Lego pieces.
On October 7, 2023, hundreds of Israelis were killed or taken hostage by Hamas terrorists in the deadliest attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust. Israel retaliated by launching strikes on the Gaza Strip, killing more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health authority. Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports on how, twelve months later, a cease-fire, or a pathway to peace, looks vanishingly remote. Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct the number of Israeli hostages released in November, 2023.
Writer Delia Ephron, famous for dreaming up fairy-tale rom-coms like "You've Got Mail," is making her Broadway debut this month with "Left on Tenth," a play adapted from her bestselling memoir about a widow pursuing another chance at love, just when she is diagnosed with leukemia. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook talks with Ephron, director Susan Stroman, and stars Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher about the play's life lessons.
Twenty-year-old Jacob Rock is a non-verbal young man with autism who quietly composed an entire six-movement symphony in his head. After struggling to communicate for much of his life, he learned how to share his ideas via an iPad app with musician Rob Laufer. The two created the symphony "Unforgettable Sunrise," which was premiered last year by a 55-piece orchestra from the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. Correspondent Lee Cowan talked with Rock and Laufer, and with Jacob's father, Paul, about a remarkable musical odyssey.
