Elizabeth Taylor - Rebels - by Richard Bassett

The Rebels. Dame Elizabeth Taylor knew and loved these men. She knew that they possessed great talent and stood out in the crowds. She worked professionally with these men and personally, she was a trusted friend. One such rebel, Rock Hudson, lived and died with AIDS about the same time Elizabeth was involving her fund raising services herself. Between Bill and Melinda Gates, Sir Elton John and Dame Elizabeth, over one billion dollars has been raised to fight this disease that is still killing thousands of people. The press may not depict it as much but it still is happening. If you enjoy my work, please donate and help save a life.

● My life so far ● [ VO ] 1/10

Drama, Comedia, Biográfico // Desde las nebulosas Highlands de Escocia llega una historia sobre un año lleno de acontecimientos que verá cómo se rompe el encantamiento de la infancia, tanto para un niño de diez años como para su padre, un incurable romántico. Esos recuerdos -divertidos y agridulces- son contados a través de la voz de un joven observador, Fraser, un niño que convierte los misterios y las intrigas sexuales de los adultos que lo rodean en una gran aventura cómica. Fraser pertenece a una familia escocesa de distinguidos excéntricos que vive en una idílica finca familiar, Kiloran House. La casa en este momento está bajo el férreo control de la infatigable Gamma Macintosh (Rosemary Harris). Aunque esta casa, repleta de animales y niños, funciona gracias a los esfuerzos de Gamma y de la madre de Fraser, Moira (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), el líder espiritual es el chiflado del padre de Fraser, Edward (Colin Firth). Edward es un inventor, un genio incomprendido, y el fundador de la única fábrica de musgo de toda Europa. Muchos sólo ven en él a un loco estrafalario. Pero para Fraser es una fuerza que no puede ser comprendida. La vida con este padre en la finca de los Macintosh es un cuento de hadas en el que suceden las aventuras y las anécdotas, llenas de los artilugios más impensables y henchidas de imaginación

A Very Special Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

Tonight on a very special Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Buck tells the mutant Varek not to be so hard on himself, and shows spaceport floozy Markie Post that "everybody doesn't hurt everybody." From Season 1, Episode 6, "The Plot to Kill a City, Part 1." Airdate 11 Oct 1979. The character actors in every episode are top-of-the-line. Jack Palance, Peter Graves, Roddy McDowell, Buster Crabbe, Cesar Romero, Richard Lynch. This episode had Frank Gorshin, Markie Post, Robert Tessier (the bald thug from Longest Yard and dozens of tv shows). No, they didn't actually advertise this episode as "a very special Buck Rogers" as far as I know. But Buck dispenses a lot of ham-handed pop psychology throughout the series. Other episodes focus on discrimination against deaf and older people. Buck opposes slavery and takes other positions that might have been mildly progressive 10-20 years before this was filmed.

The Healing Presence of Pets

As a young boy, I would sit in anticipation for the prime time television show series Lassie. For those of you that aren't familiar with Lassie, he was a fictional Collie dog character that initially appeared in a novel, which was made into a feature film Lassie Come Home (starring Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor). Lassie's trusted owner was a little boy named Timmie. Lassie would always be there for him or anyone else in need of help. Lassie was truly a trusted canine companion.

One morning while in my hospital bed staring at a wall, really feeling down and depressed, I noticed a large dog walking pass my door! At first I thought I was hallucinating. But after a few minutes passed there he was again with a woman holding his leash. Immediately I felt that same warm feeling I used to get while watching Lassie on television or even the many times I had spent with my own dogs over the years. The short silver grey hair dog stood very tall in the doorway of my room. He looked like a Great Dane. His owner, a kind lady holding the leash, asked me if they could come into my room and visit me. I replied; "absolutely!"

As this very tall dog approached my bedside, I anticipated meeting a new friend as he placed his big furry head on my bed. I was unable to move my arms but my hands were at my side and I was able to pivot my hand at the wrist and glide it over his head. As I did this, he had a very casual look on his face as our eyes connected. It was a look of expectancy, so simple as if he wanted to say to me that I have nothing to worry about, this health condition will pass.

I sensed he could feel my frustration, worry and all the other emotions that go along with severe illness. I have no idea why I had this interpretation but I am grateful for that visit and the fact that Mother Nature made arrangements for this "therapy dog" to visit and, as a bonus, would be tall enough to reach me as I lay in my bed.

That experience touched my spirit with an unconditional love that pets share with many of us on a regular basis. I felt an inner peace and calm while petting him. My purpose for this story is to remind you that your pet will share with you that spiritual boost you need to continue your healing path. If you don't own a pet, then ask friends to bring theirs for a visit or stop by a local pet store and hold a puppy. Feel the puppy's youthful spirit and embrace it. Pets are sensitive and have feelings. When this is combined with a craving to please it translates into an inner desire to heal too.
