Yvette Vickers: terrible muerte de una actriz del cine B



Ayer una muerte me dió escalofríos. No la de Bin Laden. Fuck him. Fue la de una actriz de películas B de los años 1950 y una Playboy Playmate que fue encontrada mumificada en su casa después de haber muerto hace un año. La historia es realmente triste. Una persona que una vez vivió parte del glamour del cine, aunque fuera de cine B, que acaba olvidada por todos.

Lo increíble es que nadie de su vecindario se diera cuenta de que pasaba algo extraño, al no verla por meses y ver como su casa se convertía en un nido de ratas. Nada, que por allá el sentimiento de "vivir y dejar vivir" se lleva a extremos. Y resulta en cosas como ésta.

Si quieren ver sus películas mas conocidas, éstas son "Attack of the 50ft. Woman" y "Attack of the Giant Leeches". O pueden ver videos cortos de sus escenas en esas películas en You Tube.

Que descanse en paz.

Remembering Brittany




When the other day I read about actress Brittany Murphy's death, I must admit I wasn't sure who she was. I thought she was one of those Disney created actresses Hannah Montana and Mylie Cyrus. Then I heard people talking about how she has begun her career in the movie "Clueless" and then I remembered who she was. I saw "Clueless" during a really rainy day in Miami. The theater complex next to the hotel was full of not so promising movies, but I had read a couple of good reviews about "Clueless" and I decided to see it. The movie is actually quite entertaining. It was set to make a movie star out of Alicia Silverstone. But there was an actress in it that projected such niceness, vulnerability and honesty that she won me over in a minute. I somehow wished the movie would have been about her. And now I realize it was Brittany Murphy. She steals the movie in every scene she's in. She was that good. She really was.
