Winter in London (1950s)
England is not renowned for having excellent weather. Even when it is not raining and cloudy, it is usually snowing outside. However, no amount of unpleasant weather can deter the hardy Londoners from getting their work done.

From the photograph, the gentleman is crossing the snow-covered Westminster Bridge, which spans across the Thames River in the center of London. An iconic London double-decker bus has just gone by, and in the distance, people can see the renowned clock tower known as Big Ben keeping watch over them.

Robin Williams and His Fans Outside a Shelter in Boston (1988)
When Robin Williams wasn’t onstage or in front of the camera, he was giving back to those who didn’t have nearly as much as he had. Aside from his role as one of the presenters of Comic Relief, a program that raised millions of dollars for those in need, Williams volunteered his own time to help individuals who were homeless. Mayor Ray Flynn said that anytime Robin was in town, he could always be counted on to come down and spend time with those who were less fortunate.

As reported by CBS, Flynn said Williams went to both the Long Island Shelter and a shelter for homeless people in Boston, in order to get them off the wintery streets. He goes on to add that he was always “phenomenal.” Williams was constantly entertaining the groups within the shelter as well as the staff.

 

John Matuszak Takes on the Role of Sloth In the 1985 Film "The Goonies"

Sloth, the huge, misshapen brother of the Fratelli’s, was one of the most endearing characters in the 1985 film The Goonies. John Matuszak played the role. However, the 6-foot-8, 280-pound NFL defensive lineman is most known for his two Super Bowl victories with Oakland/Los Angeles.

Makeup artists worked for hours to turn John Matuszak into the unique, Baby Ruth bar-eating and misunderstood monster. The audience empathizes with Sloth, who was mistreated by his family. They cheer for him as he helped the Goonies in locating the treasure.

 

What a role!

Colorized Photo of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna (1887)
Elizabeth Feodorovna was a royal from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. In 1884, she married Sergei, a son of Alexander II, who was born on November 1, 1864. She relocated to St. Petersburg in 1891 and converted to Russian Orthodoxy at that time. After Sergei met his end in 1905, Elizabeth stopped eating meat, sold her possessions, and started a convent to help the sick and aged of Moscow. She gained no political favor because of this.


In 1918, she was captured on Lenin’s orders and banished to Perm before being relocated to Yekaterinburg and then Alapayevsk. She was then taken to an abandoned iron mine, blindfolded, and marched to the bottom, where she took her last breath.
