Incredibly disturbing interview with Mary Vincent, who endured a horrifying attack in 1978, where she was assaulted, raped, had both of her arms chopped off, and was thrown off a 30-foot cliff by Lawrence Singleton. Mary Vincent encountered Singleton while attempting to hitchhike to Vegas from California. While on the journey, Vincent became wary of Singleton's actions as he intentionally drove in the wrong direction. She tried to flee, but Singleton struck her unconscious with a sledgehammer before she could escape. Upon awakening, she found herself bound as Singleton brutally assaulted and raped her. Following this, he horrifically severed both her forearms with a hatchet. Singleton then callously hurled her off a cliff before departing, leaving her for dead. Somehow, she survived and climbed back up the cliff despite her injuries.She then tried to signal passing drivers for assistance. After walking along Interstate 5 for almost three miles, she finally caught the attention of a couple who provided aid and helped her receive medical attention. Vincent helped the authorities identify Singleton who was eventually arrested and sentenced to 14 years for the horrific crime. Sadly, he served just 8 years of his sentence and was released in 1987 despite massive public outrage. He moved back to Florida, where in 1997, he murdered a mother of three. He was sentenced to death but died in 2001 from cancer.

Ava recalled a surprising encounter with Justin Bieber after meeting him while working at a restaurant in 2016. According to her, Bieber noticed her during his visit and asked her to put her number in his phone. After she finished her shift, he invited her to his hotel, where the two spent the night together. Ava described the singer as kind and respectful, saying he was “a passionate lover” and that the experience was different from what she expected because she didn’t have to sign any paperwork.

According to an interview with Samuel L. Jackson, he and writer and director John Singleton often argued over the direction of the film. After one particular argument, Singleton refused to come out of his trailer. Christian Bale didn't have any interest in playing the part of the villain, as he had just finished making American Psycho (2000). But he was reading through lines with Toni Collette, who has the part of the witness in the film, one day, and decided to give it a go as another villain after all. 🎬 SHAFT (2000)

Let's talk about the fact that she was giving her point of view and I could tell that she was not entirely happy, in the end they didn't let her finish and I could see that even the DJ turned on the music to not let her continue anymore, and I see it as a lack of respect

A student was made the proprietress for a day in her school and she made a lot of changes, even gave the students a free 20 marks to all the subjects they did that day. I love her boldness and the fact that she involved her friends 😂❤️

FROM YEARS OF AFFLICTION TO COMPLETE RESTORATION🔥 Mz Fortune has returned all the glory to God for His mercy and healing power. In 2021, just a few months before her final examinations, she was involved in a fatal accident that left her immobile for over five years. She sustained severe head injuries that resulted in daily seizures, while another fall later affected her spine. She was eventually diagnosed with partial amnesia and epilepsy due to injuries and fluid in her skull. Doctors recommended brain surgery, but she declined because of the risks involved. By April this year, after years of pain, financial loss, and mounting debts, she became deeply depressed and attempted to take her own life. By God’s mercy, she survived. While in the hospital, her father shared a dream in which the Angel of the Commission instructed that she should come to Dunamis. Though reluctant at first, she eventually traveled from Lagos to Abuja. She attended the Midweek Service on April 29, burdened and in tears, and from that day, her healing journey began. Peace and joy replaced her heaviness. Later, during a service, God’s servant instructed those trusting God for healing to come out and dance. As she obeyed, she felt her body cracking, and by the end of the service, her spine was firm and properly aligned. She could suddenly do things she had been unable to do for years. Since then, she has remained committed to God and consistent in the Commanding the Day Midnight Prayer (CTDMP). Today, she is completely free from seizures, headaches, and the effects of her injuries. She has come to appreciate the Name of the Lord and return all the glory to Him for making her whole.🔥👏🎉

This woman was trying to break into the fashion world. She and her photographer were going around NYC taking photographs that were bold and daring. She was in the process of taking this photo when a woman starts to yell at her about how she can’t work without looking out the window and seeing the young lady hanging onto the guard rail for a pose. She expressed she was worried she was going to fall. The young lady was more interested that the woman owns a magazine than she was about her own safety, she then proceeds to call her a Karen for their interaction. To me it seems like she was voicing honest concern, she wasn’t trying to cause an issue and it was in fact the actions of the young lady that was the cause of the distraction for those in the city that day. What is your take on this, was this a valid concern on the lady’s behalf?

One of the first women that Rachelle met in the clubs had never interacted with a Christian. This woman grew up in extreme poverty, extreme abuse, and her family was in a cult. When she turned 18, they not only sold her to an older man, but also forced her to go into the strip club. When Rachelle met her, she was 18 years old and had no idea that there was kindness in the world. Rachelle began getting to know her and showing up in small ways. She shared with Rachelle how she didn't have food for her daughter. Rachelle would show up with food and eventually, this led her to come to church with her. She ended up giving her life to the Lord after a few times of attending church. However, that next week, she was back in the club. Rachelle said she immediately, as soon as she saw her, dropped to the floor and covered herself. She asked, "Are you okay? Like, what's going on?" The women responded, "For the first time, I actually feel naked." That day, she walked out of the clubs and left. Rachelle and her team helped her get into a transitional living program with her daughter and she is now a licensed counselor at a drug treatment facility—walking alongside other women who have similar stories.

Maggie Gyllenhaal considers her role in "Secretary" (2002) to be the first time that she was able to express herself and the things that were really important in a right way. She said, "[It was an opportunity to] explore something that's on the edge of what I know about myself but with the protection of fiction." When Maggie Gyllenhaal read the script of "Secretary", she thought that she had to do the movie no matter what. The audition with Steven Shainberg went well and Gyllenhaal thought that they understood each other well. Other movie stars were offered the role, while Gyllenhaal was eagerly waiting, but in the end, she was selected. She praised Shainberg for his collaborative approach stating, "He was interested in me as an artist, was interested in what I was offering, and the way that shifted the story, as opposed to whatever he had imagined before I got there."" ("Maggie Gyllenhaal Breaks Down Her Career, from 'Donnie Darko' to 'The Dark Knight'", Vanity Fair, 2019. "Screen Talk - Maggie Gyllenhaal | BFI London Film Festival 2018", BFI & IMDb)

Remembering lyric soprano and actress Deanna Durbin on her Birthday Born | December 4, 1921 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Died | April 17, 2013 aged 91 in Paris, France Video | Deanna Durbin singing “Silent Night” over the phone to her Father in Lady on a Train (1945). Deanna Durbin was born Edna Mae Durbin on December 4, 1921, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Her British-born parents moved to California while she was still young, and her singing voice soon had talent scouts knocking at her door. She signed a contract with MGM in 1936, at the age of 14, which resulted in her appearance in Every Sunday (1936), a short that also starred Judy Garland. Deanna was dropped by MGM but was immediately picked up by Universal Pictures, which cast her in the role of Penny Craig in Three Smart Girls (1936). While preparing for the role she was coached intensely by director Henry Koster; it's doubtful she would have been the star she was had it not been for Koster. The profits from this film and its follow-up, One Hundred Men and a Girl (1937), rescued Universal from bankruptcy. The studio quickly capitalised on these hits, casting Deanna in two successive and highly acclaimed films, That Certain Age (1938) and Mad About Music (1938). With these films Deanna became Hollywood's darling. She reprised her role of Penny Craig in Three Smart Girls Grow Up (1939). Deanna was such a hit that she shared the Academy Award's 1939 Juvenile Award with Mickey Rooney “for their significant contribution in bringing to the screen the spirit and personification of youth, and as juvenile players, setting high standards of ability and achievement”. Deanna's singing and acting ability had the world talking. There was no doubt she was the most popular performer of her day. She was, however, by nature a very private individual, never comfortable with the glitz, glamor and publicity that came with stardom. Despite her uneasiness, she continued to churn out hits and kept the public enthralled. In 1943 she played Penny Craig again, for the third time, in Hers to Hold (1943). Deanna's final film was For the Love of Mary (1948), whereupon, at the age of 27, she simply walked away. For a star of her stature, that took a tremendous amount of courage. All she wanted was to be anonymous. She had numerous offers to return to the screen well after she retired from acting and turned them all down. She granted only one interview since 1949; film historian David Shipman interviewed her in 1983. Such was her appeal, however, even after all those years, Durbin still received fan mail and requests for autographs well into her eighties. Film director Henry Koster did, indeed, create a legend!

Deanna's final film was For the Love of Mary (1948), whereupon, at the age of 27, she simply walked away. For a star of her stature, that took a tremendous amount of courage. All she wanted was to be anonymous. She had numerous offers to return to the screen well after she retired from acting and turned them all down. She granted only one interview since 1949; film historian David Shipman interviewed her in 1983. Such was her appeal, however, even after all those years, Durbin still received fan mail and requests for autographs well into her eighties. Film director Henry Koster did, indeed, create a legend!
