Gloria Stuart, a Rose de "Titanic" morre aos 100 anos

FAMOSIDADES

Muitas foram as personagens a quem deu vida, mas foi com Rose, a protagonista de Titanic, em fase de ‘grande experiência de vida’, que chegou ao estrelato e passou a ser mundialmente (re)conhecida. A actriz Gloria Stuart faleceu no passado domingo com 100 anos, segundo é noticiado no site da revista Variety.

A actriz sucumbiu a um cancro no pulmão, diagnosticado há cinco anos, na sua casa em Los Angeles.

Gloria Stuart nasceu em 1910 em Santa Monica, na Califórnia, tendo estudado artes dramáticas e filosofia. Começou a sua carreira em Pasadena e chegou aos grandes ecrãs em 1932 em Street of Women. Durante a década de 30 continuou o seu percurso cinematográfico com variadíssimas aparições no grande ecrã, como por exemplo em The Invisible ManPoor Little Rich Girl ou Gold Diggers of 1935, de Busby Berkeley. Stuart foi também uma das fundadoras da Guilda dos Actores, a organização sindical.

Apesar de tudo apontar para uma carreira promissora na sétima arte, a actriz resolveu dedicar-se a outra paixão nos anos 40 - a pintura. A actriz deixou ainda uma autobiografia, "Gloria Stuart: I Just Kept Hoping" (1999), onde explica que Rose foi o papel pelo qual sempre esperou e que lhe valeu uma indicação aos Óscares. A idosa do blockbuster de James Cameron tornou-se assim a actriz mais idosa, tinha 87 anos, a ser nomeada, neste caso para o galardão de Melhor Actriz Secundária.

A centenária deixa uma filha, a escritora Sylvia Thompson, além de quatro netos e 12 bisnetos. "Era uma mulher muito forte e tinha outros assuntos com que se ocupar", comentou a filha, Sylvia Thompson, citada pela publicação Los Angeles Times.

Penalty Epic Fail!

11 de Setembro de 2001 - 9 anos após a tragédia

Pois é.. Já passaram 9 anos desde os atentados terroristas do 11 de Setembro. A maior parte de nós não se lembra de muito. Eu não me lembro de quase nada, só de ver uma noticia sobre encontrarem partes dos corpos das vítimas. Isso afectou-me. Ainda hoje sou capaz de chorar por causa daquele dia que matou quase 3 mil pessoas. O facto de um grupo ter sido capaz de cometer uma atrocidade destas choca-me e deixa-me com medo. Ver o World Trade Center a ser atingido pelos aviões, as pessoas a saltarem, tudo faz-me sentir triste. Bem, mas hoje é um dia que devemos homenagear todos aqueles que morreram naquele dia.

_________________________

"Quando passarem 46 minutos das 13h00 de sábado terão decorrido exatamente nove anos desde que o primeiro de dois aviões desviados por terroristas embateu numa das torres gémeas de Nova Iorque. E o mundo mudou.

Assinalam-se este sábado nove anos sobre o dia que mudou o mundo. Para a História ficam perto de 3 mil mortos e as imagens de terror das torres gémeas em chamas e do pânico e incredulidade globais.

São nove anos desde que um grupo de terroristas sequestrou quatro aviões comerciais, fazendo-os embater contra duas torres do World Trade Center, que acabaram por ruir, e contra o Pentágono. O quarto acabou por se despenhar em Somerset County, na Pensilvânia, mas as autoridades acreditam que o seu alvo seria o Capitólio."

Cursed Movie Sets

With the buzz of the “Oscar Curse” finally dimming down, we just grew more curious about some other legendary Hollywood curses—the kind where the whole set is “cursed” – and an unlucky few, whether it’s the cast, the crew or the film’s director, were never the same after they stepped on that fateful set. Whether or not the films were truly “cursed,” one thing’s for certain, you won’t be able to watch these movies in the same way again. Read on – if you dare.

Trilogy of films beginning in 1982

Key Players:
Heather O'Rourke, who played the lead role of Carol Anne in all three of the Poltergeist films, died in 1988 at just 12 years old from septic shock.

Dominique Dunne, (sister of Griffin and daughter of Dominic) only lived to play the older sister, Dana, in the first movie. The same year as the film’s release, a possessive boyfriend strangled the 22-year-old actress.

Julian Beck, who played Kane in the second film, died at 60 years old from stomach cancer in 1985 before the filming of the third installment.

Will Sampson, who played Taylor the Medicine Man inPoltergeist II, died from post-operative kidney failure and pre-operative malnutrition problems in 1987 at 53 years old.


2008

Key Players:
Rising mega-star Heath Ledger, who slipped seamlessly—maybe too well—into the Oscar-winning role of the Joker, a madman with zero empathy, died in January 2008, six months before the film's release. Heath died of an accidental overdose/mix of prescription pills.

Christian Bale was arrested the night before the film’s London premiere for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister.

Morgan Freeman was in a car accident in Mississippi a few months after the release of the film. Oddly, without influence from drugs or alcohol on the actor’s part, his car “skipped the road” and rolled down an embankment—Freeman was in serious condition with a broken shoulder and impaired hand.

A crew member named Conway Wicliffe died on a camera truck while running through a dummy action scene with the Batmobile—it crashed into a tree.

1976

Key Players:
For the 1975 film The Omen, Set Designer John Richardsondesigned a particularly grisly automobile death in which a character is decapitated. On a Friday the 13th in 1976, John and his assistant Liz Moore were in an accident in Holland—and Liz died in a manner eerily similar to the one he depicted in the film. Also creepy? The accident was near the road sign which read: “Ommen, 66.6 km.”

Two months before filming, son of lead actor Gregory Peck killed himself.

The IRA bombed the hotel where Executive Producer Mace Neufeld was staying with his wife. (The couple survived).

Post The Omen, stuntman Alf Joint went to work on his next movie A Bridge Too Far, but the professional was hospitalized after flubbing an “ordinary” jump from a roof on to an air bag. He fell suddenly and awkwardly—afterward he said he felt he’d “been pushed.”


1968

Key Players:
Roman Polanski's controversial horror film about a young Manhattan wife (Mia Farrow) whose husband makes a deal with the devil and gives their unborn child to a group of Satanic worshippers. A year after its release, the Manson "family" murders Roman’s pregnant wife, the gorgeous young actressSharon Tate
.

1994
Key Players:
Brandon Lee, son of celebrated martial artist film star Bruce Lee, believed his family was cursed after his grandfather angered a group of Chinese businessmen. Brandon’s father Bruce died in 1973 while filming the movie Game of Death in Hong Kong. Twenty years later, while filming The Crow, a dummy bullet killed Brandon – eight days before the film’s completion and at just 28 years old.


1955

Key Players:
Legendary heartthrob James Dean died in a car crash near Cholame, CA, while driving his Porsche 550 Spyder to a race in Salinas. James was only 24 when he died a month before the premiere of Rebel Without A Cause.

At 43 years old, Natalie Wood drowned in the harbor off of Catalina Island. Although her death was ruled “accidental,” many suspected that Christopher Walken and husband Robert Wagner—her boating partners—knew more.

Sal Mineo, who played John “Plato” Crawford, was stabbed in the heart by a robber outside his West Hollywood apartment in 1974. He was 37 years old.

At 37, actor Nick Adams was found slumped against the wall of his Beverly Hills bedroom, dead of an apparent drug overdose.

The 27 Club


Following our morbid tone with Pop’s “Most Cursed Movie Sets” with Music we take a look at the “The 27 Club,” spotlighting the massively talented musicians who died at the “cursed age” of 27. According to legend, The Curse officially began with the death of highly influential “Crossroads” bluesman Robert Johnson, but the legend really picked up speed in the ‘70s, when Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at 27-years-old, and each within two years of each other. If there’s a sad lesson from all these flames who burnt out far too soon, it's definitely to stay away from drugs, kids.
