The Italian Job

Afbeelding
The Italian Job is a 1969 British comedy caper film, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, produced by Michael Deeley, directed by Peter Collinson, and starring Michael Caine. The film's plot centres around Cockney criminal Charlie Croker, recently released from prison, who forms a gang for the job of stealing a cache of gold bullion being transported through the city of Turin, Italy in an armoured security truck. In addition to Caine, the cast also included Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, Tony Beckley, and Noƫl Coward; the film was Coward's last before his retirement from acting. The soundtrack was composed by Quincy Jones, featuring the songs "On Days Like These", sung by Matt Monro over the opening credits, and "Getta Bloomin' Move On" (usually referred to as "The Self-Preservation Society", after its chorus) during the climactic car chase, which featured Caine among its singers.

Piper Halliwell

Afbeelding
  Piper Halliwell — The Heart of Charmed   Piper Halliwell — portrayed by Holly Marie Combs — wasn’t just one of the sisters. She was the heart of the Halliwell family. Not the loudest. Not the flashiest. But the one who held everything together when it mattered most. She loved fiercely. Protected without hesitation. And when life pushed her too far… she became one of the most powerful witches the show had ever seen. From freezing time in a moment of fear… To blowing up anything that threatened her family — Piper’s journey was never about power alone. It was about love. That’s why fans never stopped connecting with her. Because behind every spell… every battle… every sacrifice… Piper was just someone trying to protect the people she loved. And somehow, that made her the strongest of them all.

Charmed

Afbeelding
  Some of that mixes real facts with long-standing rumors — so it’s worth separating what’s confirmed from what’s just speculation. On Charmed, Alyssa Milano (Phoebe) and Brian Krause (Leo) were never a real-life couple. Their connection stayed professional, even though their on-screen relationships were emotional and close-knit within the cast. Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon were rumored to have dated briefly during Season 3, but this was never officially confirmed by either of them. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes stories that fans have talked about for years, but it remains unverified. As for the idea that Shannen was jealous of Alyssa during scenes with Julian — that falls into the category of set rumors and media speculation. What is documented is that there were tensions between Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano during the show’s early seasons, but the exact reasons have always been described differently depending on who’s telling the story. What’s important is this: ...

Jim Davis

  Jim Davis (August 26, 1909 – April 26, 1981) Davis was best known for his role as Jock Ewing in the CBS prime-time soap opera, Dallas, a role which continued until he was too ill from a terminal illness to perform. He was known as Jim Davis by the time of his first major screen role, which was opposite Bette Davis in the 1948 melodrama Winter Meeting, a lavish failure for which he was lambasted in the press as being too inexperienced to play the part properly. His subsequent film career consisted of mostly B movies, many of them westerns, although he made an impression as a U.S. senator in the Warren Beatty conspiracy thriller The Parallax View. From 1958-1960, Davis starred as Wes Cameron opposite Lang Jeffries in the role of Skip Johnson in the syndicated adventure series Rescue 8. About this time, he guest starred on the syndicated crime drama, U.S. Marshal, starring John Bromfield. Davis also appeared in an episode of The High Chaparral and in small roles in the 1971 John Way...

Phoebe Halliwell

Afbeelding
  Phoebe Halliwell — The Sister Who Grew Into Her Power   Phoebe Halliwell didn’t start as the perfect witch. She was the rebellious one. The free spirit. The youngest sister still trying to find her place. But that’s what made her journey so powerful. Played with warmth and charisma by Alyssa Milano, Phoebe brought a bright energy to Charmed from the very beginning. Her gift of premonition wasn’t just a magical power — it reflected who she was: intuitive, emotional, and deeply connected to the people around her. Over time, Phoebe changed. She learned to fight. She learned to love. She learned to survive heartbreak. And through her complicated romance with Cole Turner, fans saw one of the show’s most unforgettable stories of love, darkness, and redemption. But Phoebe’s greatest power was never just magic. It was her heart. She grew into a strong woman, a trusted advice columnist, and an essential part of the Power of Three. With her optimism, compassion, and inner strength, Ph...

Alyssa Milano

Afbeelding
  Alyssa Milano — Timeless Beauty, Heart, And Grace Alyssa Milano has always had the kind of beauty that feels effortless. From her early years in Hollywood to becoming unforgettable as Phoebe Halliwell on Charmed, she carried something fans could instantly feel — warmth, confidence, and a light that came from within. Her charm was never just about looks. It was in her smile. Her expressive eyes. Her playful energy. And the way she made Phoebe feel so alive, emotional, and real. Alyssa had that rare screen presence — soft, feminine, approachable, but still powerful. She didn’t need to be loud to stand out. She simply had that natural spark people remembered. And beyond her beauty, what made her even more admired was her heart. She became more than an actress. She became a woman with a voice, a purpose, and the courage to stand up for what she believes in. That’s why Alyssa Milano remains so beloved. Not just because she was beautiful. Not just because she played Phoebe. But because...

Charles Dawson Butler

  Charles Dawson Butler (November 16, 1916 – May 18, 1988) He worked mostly for the Hanna-Barbera animation production company where he originated the voices of many familiar characters, including Wally Gator, Yogi Bear, Elroy Jetson, Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss, Spike the Bulldog, and Huckleberry Hound. His first voice work for an animated character came in 1948 in the animated short Short Snorts on Sports, which was produced by Screen Gems. That same year at MGM, Tex Avery hired Butler to provide the voice of a British wolf on Little Rural Riding Hood and also to narrate several of his cartoons. Butler would voice most of these characters for decades, in both TV shows and in some commercials. The breakfast cereal mascot Cap'n Crunch became an icon of sorts on Saturday morning TV through many commercials produced by Jay Ward. Butler played Cap'n from the 1960s to the 1980s. He based the voice on that of character actor Charles Butterworth. In 1961, while Mel Blanc was recov...

Dag Booschap

Je bent graag bezig, dus wanneer je even helemaal nergens zin in hebt voelt dat direct ongemakkelijk. Het idee dat je niet vooruit komt als je niets doet. Terwijl juist deze tijd, waarin het licht langzaam langer wegblijft en de dagen zich vullen met koudere lucht. Je wilt gewoon even niets. Even niets moeten. Niemand (aan)horen. Gewoon even helemaal niets. Niets doen. Na een drukke zomer waarin het voelt of je een race hebt gelopen ben je toe aan niets doen. Ergens op de achtergrond blijft er iets fluisteren. Iets waar je je verantwoordelijk voor voelt. Iets waarvan je voelt dat je het niet meer wilt of niet graag doet. Dat waarvan je voelt dat het niet meer bij je hoort. En toch trekt het. Raakt het je onzekerheid aan. Raakt het je gevoel van eigenwaarde aan. Een oude angst. Ergens ben je nog afhankelijk van, althans, dat is dat deel van jou die dat nog altijd zo voelt. En misschien is het wel een deel wat altijd bij je blijft, maar waarvan je mag voelen en bekijken of dit deel ook e...

Dorothy Elizabeth Gish

Afbeelding
 D orothy Elizabeth Gish (March 11, 1898 – June 4, 1968) Dorothy and her sister Lillian Gish were major movie stars of the silent era. Dorothy also had great success on the stage, and was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame. In Hearts of the World (1918), a film about World War I and the devastation of France, Dorothy found her first foothold, striking a personal hit in a comedy role that captured the essence of her sense of humor. As the “little disturber”, a street singer, her performance was the comic highlight of the film, and her characterization in this role catapulted her into a career as a star of comedy films. In 1920, her sister, Lillian, tried out as director of the movie "Remodeling her Husband" which starred James Rennie. While she was often overshadowed by her sister Lillian, she never let it show and maintained a positive relationship with her sibling. Her last silent film was "Madame Pompadour" (1927), and one talkie, "Wolves" (...

Het moment vlak vóór je in slaap valt is het moment waarop je Onderbewustzijn open staat. Schrijf op wat je wilt Ervaren... Niet vanuit een Tekort, maar vanuit Keuze. Alsof het al Onderdeel is van je leven... Lees het drie keer hardop. Je stem heeft een trilling. Trilling geeft Richting...

Son of an E.I. purser

Afbeelding
This charming miniature shows a mother and her two children holding a basket of fruit. It is inscribed in ink, ‘Son of an E.I. purser." E.I. stands for the East India Company. We can therefore assume that this miniature is of the wife of this purser and of his children. It is possible that the portrait was painted to send out to him in India. The child on the right is a girl, but the one on the left is probably a boy. Since Tudor times, small boys from better-off families had been dressed in their early years in exactly the same dresses as girls, often until the age of six. The process of ‘breeching’, when the boy shed his petticoats, was a proud family occasion. By 1800, when this portrait was painted, boys usually graduated out of dresses at about four years old.
