  Barbara La Marr (July 28, 1896 – January 30, 1926) La Marr was an actress and known as "The Girl Who Is Too Beautiful". She actually began working as a screenwriter, but made her on camera debut with Douglas Fairbanks in The Nut (1921), and quickly became a star with her beauty and talent. Although her film career flourished, she also embraced the fast-paced Hollywood nightlife, remarking in an interview that she slept no more than two hours a night. La Marr began abusing drugs and alcohol and reportedly developed a cocaine and heroin habit. Her lifestyle eventually began to affect her career and she was dropped by M-G-M. The drug and alcohol use began to take its toll, and she developed nephritis and tuberculosis, which ultimately ended her life at age 29. Barbara La Marr is interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Helen of Troy.....The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships . In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy is a character in Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. ... However, there is no solid evidence to suggest that Helen was a real person. The first written record of Helen is in the Iliad but the origins of the myth that surrounds her dates back to the Bronze Age. Helen of Troy almost certainly never existed as a historical figure. The Iliad and the Odyssey were probably mostly composed during the early seventh century BC, but the events they describe are set in the twelfth century BC, roughly five hundred years earlier. We have solid archaeological evidence that Troy was indeed a real city, but nothing to support the historicity of the Trojan War, nor do we have any evidence to support the existence of any of the individual characters in the poems. The characters in the Iliad and the Odyssey and in later Greek legends about the war, are all almost certainly fictional, including Helen. The who...

24 april 1112 - Dood van graaf D. Hendrik van Portugal Het zou naar alle waarschijnlijkheid kunnen worden gezegd dat de Graaf van Portucale, D. Henrique, was de grootvader van Portugal. Dom Henrique, vader van El-Rei Dom Afonso I Henriques, was de vierde. de zoon van Henrique de Bourgondië, dus behorend tot de hertogelijke familie van Bourgondië, en daarmee een achterkleinzoon van Robert I van Frankrijk en achterkleinzoon van de abt S. Hugo de Cluny, en broer van ook hertogen Odo I en Hugo I. D. Henrique, niet eerstgeboren, maakte het leven als kruisvaarder, werd aangetrokken door de gebieden met het grootste gevaar en vanaf hier kun je zijn komst naar het Iberisch schiereiland begrijpen, waar de heroverwinning van de Moren riskanter was. Portucale stond onder Saracaanse overheersing sinds 711 en in 868 heroverde de Galicische Vimara Peres, vazal van de Leeuwenkoning, Galicië en Asturië de regio tussen Douro en Minho, inclusief Portucale, en stichtte het eerste graafschap Portucale, zo...

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you. ~Frida Kahlo (Book: The Diary of Frida Kahlo https://amzn.to/424dnTt )

Zwaarden aas en de zegewagen! De naakte waarheid. Het kan lastig zijn om jouw waarheid onder ogen te zien.

Als het leven niet verandert... Verander de manier waarop je naar dingen kijkt. Cartoonist: Victor Solís

Bekers vier en zwaarden tien. Bevrijd je gedachten. De gedachten dat anderen je pijn willen doen is een ervaring uit je verleden. Je beseft je dat deze ervaringen tot stand gekomen zijn vanuit jouw emotionele blokkades. Jij hebt pijn ervaren omdat het iets in jou triggerde. Dit heeft te maken met afhankelijk zijn van anderen.

  Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) He was an actor, comedian, film director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer. Keaton was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face". Critic Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton's "extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, [when] he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor–director in the history of the movies". His career declined afterward with a dispiriting loss of his artistic independence when he was hired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and he descended into alcoholism, ruining his family life. He recovered in the 1940s, remarried, and revived his career to a degree as an honored comic performer for the rest of his life, earning an Academy Honorary Award. Many of Keaton's films from the 1920s, such as Sherlock ...

"Waar je ook gaat, licht zonnen, glimlach sterren, verspreid liefde, laat het goede parfum van je ziel achter. Waar je ook gaat, zaai schoonheid, speel vrij, knuffel groot, zing de liedjes van je soundtrack. Waar je ook gaat, vergeef, ontthrone de wonden, genees de gewonden.
