Legalized gambling and professional sports were once regarded as a deadly combination to be avoided at all costs. But today, 39 states and Washington, D.C. have legalized online sports gambling. Nearly $150 billion worth of legal sports bets were placed last year alone. With one in five problem gamblers attempting suicide, therapist Harry Levant, a recovering gambling addict, says the ease of access and number of betting opportunities on one’s phone represents a growing public health crisis. “Sunday Morning” senior contributor Ted Koppel examines whether online sports gambling has become a bad bet.

“Sunday Morning” looks back at historical events on this date.

She was a child of the Kennedy family, a trailblazing broadcast journalist, the wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger, a women’s health advocate, and – after the end of her marriage – a woman in search of herself. Maria Shriver’s latest book, “I Am Maria,” is an unflinching, public account of her very private journey, told through poetry. Lee Cowan reports.

The 1992 cult film “Death Becomes Her,” which starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Isabella Rossellini and Bruce Willis, is the latest Hollywood movie to be translated into a Broadway musical. Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with stars Megan Hilty, Michelle Williams (of Destiny’s Child), two-time Tony-nominee Jennifer Simard, and director Christopher Gattelli, about updating a story, and its memorable supernatural effects, for the stage.

“Sunday Morning” remembers some of the notable figures who left us this week.

After criticizing the Kennedy Center’s programming and finances, President Trump named himself the institution’s chairman and replaced board members with Trump allies. Since then, the storied Washington arts center has been rocked with cancellations by artists, resignations, and questions about its mission going forward. CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell talks with Deborah Rutter, fired after more than a decade as president; former National Symphony Orchestra artistic director Ben Folds; and board member Paolo Zampolli, about the Kennedy Center’s future. 

Faith Salie shares a disruptive action item for buzzword users to on-board (that is, if you don’t want to be layered out of a job).

Years ago, Elton John was a flicker of hope in a confusing world to young Brandi Carlile, a girl coming of age and struggling with her own sexuality. Today, the two music superstars are not only friends, but also collaborators, recording an album together, “Who Believes in Angels.” They talked with correspondent Tracy Smith about pushing each other artistically, and the 78-year-old John’s emotional response to the album’s closing track, “When This Old World Is Done With Me.”

According to thousands of studies, researchers have determined that involvement in the arts can improve public health and promote healing from illness, as well as protect against such problems as cognitive decline, heart disease, anxiety and depression. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook talks with Broadway director Lear deBessonet, the force behind Arts For EveryBody, a national public health movement whose mission is to connect more people to the arts and create healthier communities.

Earlier this month, lawmakers in South Carolina voted to suspend human visitations to Deveaux Bank, a small island in Charleston County, where tens of thousands of whimbrel shorebirds enjoy a month-or-so layover as they migrate from South America to the Arctic. “Sunday Morning” anchor Jane Pauley reports on conservationists celebrating the closing of the island during bird migration months.

With the birds’ numbers declining due to climate change pressures upon their habitats and migration routes, ornithologists were shocked to discover 20,000 eastern whimbrel – half of the estimated population – stopped to roost on South Carolina’s tiny Deveaux Bank.
