The Shootist star’s brutal dressing down over ‘not trying hard enough’ – My Blog

The pair were close friends, reports show, and they have previously starred in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and How the West Was Won.But Siegel was infuriated at the reunion of the Hollywood heavyweights, and an IMDb report noted: “He [Stewart] and Wayne muffed their lines so often in the main scene between them that director Don Siegel accused them of not trying hard enough.“Wayne’s reply was a variation on an old John Ford line, advising the director, ‘If you’d like the scene done better, you’d better get a couple of better actors.’”Reports show that Wayne suggested to his friends after filming was concluded that Stewart knew the lines, but was struggling to hear the cues given to him, which led the western star to also mumble his own words.This, however, wasn’t the only feud between Wayne, nicknamed the Duke, and Siegel, as the actor wanted to shoot a number of the film’s final scenes as a result of some of the decisions the director had made on set.Reflecting on this in his 2014 book John Wayne: The Life and Legend, author Scott Eyman wrote how actor Hugh O’Brian said Wayne “agreed with the majority of stuff he saw” from The Shootist.But he continued: “The only thing that startled him was the way Siegel had shot the scene with the guy played by Bill McKinney, the town braggart. Duke—or Duke’s double—shot him in the back as he’s trying to get out the door of the saloon.“And when he saw that, Duke jumped up. ‘Wait a goddamn minute! I’ve never shot anybody in the back, and I’m not going to start now.’ ”

Wayne was deeply concerned the scene would “violate his reputation” with his fans, while Siegel deemed it “ridiculous and senseless” to reshoot the scenes, though eventually u-turned, agreeing for them to be shot again.The rows continued, with Siegel even telling Wayne that if he was still unhappy, he would let another director take over his role.Wayne, taking control of the situation, reportedly replied: “Let’s shoot the dying scene first.
“I’ll go over this list of shots you’ve made and make up my mind what we should reshoot.”O’Brian added: “The director and the producers were wise enough not to push Duke for a full day’s work.“They let him go home early because they wanted to finish the film.”

She hasn’t cut her hairs for 20years, even though her husband begged her to. Then, one day, she finally gave up and cut her hair! Better sit down before you see what this woman looks like today

Whether it’s the boring hairstyle we’ve had for years or the clothes we got tired of, a little change always makes us feel better.

Rosa Ramirez, an American woman, saw that it was time for a change after 25 years of not getting her hair cut.

Because her hair was so long, she sometimes walked on it.

Over the years, her husband had tried to get her to change her hairstyle, but she was always proud of her 1.5-meter-long hair.

She finally had enough and went to the hairdresser with some friends after 25 years of hard work. She had her hair cut to her shoulders.

The owner of the hair salon, Eda Motchka, told WXYZ-TV Detroit, “We love seeing different things done on customers, different styles. We meet a lot, and I always see her the same way.”

But she did what she did for a reason. Locks of Love is a nonprofit that makes wigs for kids whose hair has been lost to cancer. Rosa sent 4 feet of her hair to them.

Ramirez said, “I think it would make someone’s day who is sick a little better.”

Rosa’s change over time is very interesting to watch. Watch how it works in the video below.

Father’s Hilarious Reaction To His Partner Giving Birth Goes Viral

A woman’s experience during childbirth is unparalleled. It’s the roller coaster ride between euphoria and terror. What the mother is going through is unbearable.

The experience can be both heartwarming and emotionally taxing on the father.

Pictures shot during the birth of their third child by the parents who took them have gone viral.

The emotional ups and downs of a new baby’s arrival were beautifully depicted in the new dad’s expressions.

A Dad Welcomes the Third Child Into the World

The modern norm is for the father to be present during the birth of his child.

This wasn’t always the case, though, which is kind of funny.

Traditionally, men weren’t allowed in the delivery room with their pregnant wives. Instead of a doting new father, these moms had a team of midwives to lean on.

They were very knowledgeable in the field of giving birth. It was considered rude for the father to be in the same room as his distraught wife, no matter how happy he was for her.

They would, instead, wait tensely in the hall. The midwife would then come out to announce that a baby boy or girl had been born healthy.

Men now are held to the same standards as they were centuries before.

They should do anything they can to make their wife feel at ease during childbirth, even if that means offering a hand for her to crush.

The third kid of two parents was born in Arkansas. Brett Sillis and his partner Amanda Renee’ have become Internet celebrities after posting birth photos to Instagram.

Brett, the new father, had some priceless emotions when he looked over to see his baby being born.

Amanda thought his disgusted expression funny rather than offensive.

She claimed she had been so preoccupied with the ordeal that the couple didn’t notice the images until they returned to their room.

“We didn’t even look at them until I got back into the room, and I was like ‘I have to post these,’” she said.

The New Parents Have Arrived!

The new dad and mom are both doing great after giving birth.

It’s safe to infer that this is especially true with Brett based on the photographic evidence. After receiving the all-clear from the pediatrician, they brought their new daughter home.

Amanda’s discharge from the hospital brought her great joy.

Anyone who has spent any significant amount of time in a hospital probably feels like that time was an eternity.

Amanda expressed her joy at returning to her old stomping grounds.

She commented that “any time in the hospital feels like forever.” We couldn’t contain our joy when they finally let us go.

Remarks Made On the Web

The new dad’s expressions got a lot of laughs from people all over the world.

Over 6,000 people have shared it, 7,000 have liked it, and 2,000 have commented, making it a viral sensation.

People shared stories from their own lives, and several new dads even said they could relate.

In a similar vein, another dad said, “Dawg, this was me.” Another mother commented, “And this is exactly why when my husband wanted to ‘watch,’ I clamped my knees together and told him if he didn’t get up by my head, I wasn’t going to push!”

Dying woman says final goodbye to her parrot: The bird’s instant reaction leaves me in tears

Losing our closest friend is never easy. It doesn’t matter whether we are “prepared” for it or not.

The grief that is experienced is also not limited to humans. Animals also have the ability to feel sadness.

Did you know, for example, that parrots are some of the most emotional and intelligent creatures on the planet? When they lose someone they love, they feel a deep sense of sadness.

Parrot Sinbad recently had to go through this with his owner, who he shared his life with for 25 years.

Just like with many animals, Sinbad shared a very strong bond with his owner.

Normally, Sinbad is a very pleasant and upbeat bird, but as his beloved lay on her deathbed, he appeared to understand that the situation was serious and he was rather quiet.

This was understood as a sign of the tremendous empathy birds tend to feel for their owners.

Parrots can experience depression when they lose a loved one in about the same way that a human would. There are even anti-depressants for birds.

The moment you will soon witness was captured by a dying woman’s daughter. She is getting ready to say goodbye to the world and Sinbad is brought in for a final meeting.

Sinbad clearly just wants to be by his owner’s side and lets her know how much she means to him. And as he sits on her belly, she lets him know just how much she loves him, too.

If you can get through this clip without breaking into tears, you are much stronger than I could ever hope to be.

The bond we share with our pets is one that can’t always be put in words. That’s why video clips like these help us relate to others who love their pets just as much as we love ours. This is one of the sweetest moments I have ever seen, and anyone who has ever had a pet that they really care about can certainly relate to this woman.
