Claire Windsor was born in Phillips County, Kansas, to Scandinavian parents on April 14, 1892 .......... She was married twice and well known for her love affairs ........... “Love” she said, “shouldn’t be about rules ......... When you meet that person, everything will be calm .......

Annie Jump Cannon died on this date in 1941. She had co-created the Harvard Classification Scheme for organising our understanding of stars. ................ She believed that her work brought us closer to God.

In three decades as a midwife,I never tired of the beauty of mums. "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." Just look. In wonder.

Eleanor of Aquitaine died on the 1st of April 1204, 819 years ago. She was said to be the most beautiful woman in Europe. (Perhaps Melania Trump is hotter.) I call Her a Woman For Freedom because of her wonderful effort in what she did to get her reproductive rights. (NB I define reproductive rights as the right to reproduce not the twisted modern perversion of that phrase where reproductive rights are considered the right to abortion i.e. the right not to reproduce.) Fellow Freepers, based on the image, which you can see by clicking the following link, I rate...

Today is the Ides Of March. Julius Caesar was assassinated on this day in 44 BC. In 1950 Charlton Heston gave a brilliant performance as Marc Antony in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. If Brutus was an honourable man, then so is Joe Biden in his ice cream dreams. Some poeticised thoughts from Heston on freedom follow .....

The Right Reverend David Farrer and Dixieland multi-instrumentalist Emzak combine for a poetic micro-movie at historic building Ercildoune in Footscray, Australia, wondering what is going wrong and what is going right in the process of learning from the past?

Sue Lyon and Blanche Baker were gorgeous in different ways as Lolita. But that doesn't make understanding the issues involved easy for anyone. I am only going to identify the 44 year old guy under arrest in Florida for firing shots into a bedroom by the one initial M. M believed he was shooting at a man who had been in bed naked with M's teenage daughter was in that bedroom. As I understand it, M called the police. Now M is under arrest. Formally, he should get the presumption of innocence. Some people will see him as a hero....

Naomi Wolf has condemned the distortions by Democrats over January 6 and apologised to conservatives for believing the lies. What A Babe !!!!!!!!! Spread The Word.

William Shatner is a man who has spoken powerful English in a long acting career. As Captain Kirk, he said, “Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on.” And the actor also said, "I always use a stunt double. Except in love scenes. I insist on doing them myself." He was the oldest man ever to fly in space. God Bless William Shatner. Lets not let manhood die.

In "King Kong" Fay Wray screamed at a monster like no one in film had done before. Modern feminists scream. Loudly and powerfully. At normal men. May we and the good Lord restore to us the gender balances we had back then.

Jean Harlow was a gorgeous babe who captured America's imagination by being sexy and was OK as a comic actress later in her career. By many accounts she was a kind and intelligent human being. Her platinum blonde hair was falling out by career's end because of the chemicals which had given her that unique look. She loved her domineering mother who pushed her to be a star. She had two abortions. Is show business to blame? She died of kidney failure. But did a broken heart because of the abortions contribute to her I'll health? Was this Hollywood's original...
