ReplyDeleteWhen I was 13 or 14, my sister gave me a present a bottle of Ralph Lauren perfume , it was a collection designed for teens.. I still remember the fresh and clean smell of this fragrance. Ralph Lauren Polos are also great, they are comfortable and stylish at the same time.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in a tense, 13-day political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles on Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. In a TV address on October 22, 1962, President John Kennedy (1917-63) notified Americans about the presence of the missiles, explained his decision to enact a naval blockade around Cuba and made it clear the U.S. was prepared to use military force if necessary to neutralize this perceived threat to national security. Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev's (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.
ReplyDeleteLillian Gish was an actress who was a major figure in the early motion picture industry, the silent era, and after her appearance in The Birth of a Nation (1915), she was established as one of Hollywood's top stars. She was awarded a special honorary Academy Award in 1971 and also received a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute in 1984.
ReplyDeleteWhile Gish's reputation has been established primarily on the basis of her extensive silent film career, she found equal fame on the stage and in sound film and television. After studying voice lessons, her speaking characters appear as natural and as unpretentious as her silent performances. She eased quite gracefully into "older" roles, such as the tough-as-nails, shotgun-toting mother of orphans in The Night of the Hunter (1955), or the self-sacrificing sister to a bitter Bette Davis in The Whales of August (1987). These final film performances demonstrate Gish's talent for refining and adapting her craft, even as film technology and trends in film acting styles changed radically during her prodigious career.
