Julie Andrews burns the President of Warner Brothers during her Best Actress acceptance speech for Mary Poppins at the 1965 Golden Globes Perhaps one of the biggest scandals of Golden Age Hollywood was the decision by Jack Warner, president of Warner Brothers, to cast Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in the movie adaptation of My Fair Lady instead of Julie Andrews. Julie originated the role of Eliza on Broadway and in London - which has been heralded as one of the most difficult Broadway characters of all time - for three straight years, stunning audiences around the world. To provide some modern perspective, My Fair Lady was the Hamilton of its time, selling millions of copies of the Broadway recording in a matter of months, every single Broadway and London show sold-out for its entire record-breaking run. To everyone at the time, Julie was Eliza Doolittle, so to see her passed up for the movie adaptaion sent shockwaves through Hollywood. However, because Jack passed on Julie for the role, Walt Disney was able to cast her in Mary Poppins, for which she won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar. Julie stated of the Golden Globes night: “I suddenly realized that if Jack Warner had asked me to do My Fair Lady, which I missed out on, I would never have been able to do Mary Poppins.” Her dig - deft, quick, and spoken in her classically sweet nature - took enormous courage, delivering it to the most powerful man in Hollywood in front of all his peers. A member of the audience stated: “Everybody screamed. It was like a thunderous scream, everyone was laughing [including Jack Warner, pictured above]. That was her little sweet revenge.”

logically I know nothing matters and everything is temporary but emotionally I am crushed by the weight of everything that has ever happened to me and ever will happen

the other day I was taking a walk when I saw this old guy trapped under a cart. people were trying to help him but it was too heavy so I stepped forward and lifted it off him (I work out a lot.) then, this old police inspector told me I had to be a convict because of how strong I was. I looked him straight in the eye and said, “it’s 1815. anyone can be strong, including non felons, women, and gay people. the only person who’s weak here is you.” he started crying and gave me fifty crowns while everyone clapped, even the nuns

Already ashamed and hate to do this again on a new post but my old one is dying and is long and difficult to read. Here's the link to it if you wanna read more details!

We're only still at $260/$768.18 (40, 279.64 PHP) and we only have until June 5th to complete this overdue electric bill at our old place payment

I thought I could make it with my parking attendant job but i know i just cant. I've asked assistance from government agencies but none can help us with it, I've asked acquaintances as well. Exhausted all possible options just for this bill

Bank is still reminding us everyday to pay this bill before they put this up with the local court

Rent, current bills and food.... i dont know how to think anymore and how our family can still survive. My brothers are already out there doing whatever they can to earn money but they're all still kids fuck i dont know anymore

I know everyone is just starting to get back up from the pandemic and i know some are also still struggling right now, i would understand and definitely not forcing anyone to d o n a t e. A reblog would help us a lot just to reach a bigger audience, every amount every reblog helps us so much. Please if you have a spare, only a spare! Please we still need $500 to complete the bill

I desperately need help to keep my utilities on!!

**URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Monday, May 23rd: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who is in desperate need of help as I'm really struggling to keep my utilities (gas/electricity/internet) on which are on the verge of going out and being turned off.

I'm so sorry for asking for help again so soon from my previous post, but as many of you already aware, I have been struggling financially these past few months due to my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental/physical health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And at the moment, I'm currently struggling to get by, as my application for Disability (PIP) was declined despite recently being diagnosed with PCOS & MDD, and due to awaiting DWP assessments, my debt from overdue bills is piling up which is making it difficult for me to get by.

And I know this is a huge ask, and I'm completely heartbroken to be asking for help again, but I still desperately need some as I don't have anyone else to turn to, and I'm not due to receive my welfare of £317 until the 30th, but it isn't enough to cover my utilities overdue bills and get groceries for the month. So far I've been paying the bare minimum I can afford to keep my utilities on, but that's now caused them to be in a lot of debt that I just can't pay off by myself. Right now I need at least £295 to keep everything on!! (Internet/phone = £165, electricity = £80, gas = £50)

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.

£132.75/£295!!
