Siblings, Shirley MacLaine And Warren Beatty
If you’re a fan of Warren Beatty, you must know for a fact that he has a biological sister; and that said sister is none other than Shirley MacLaine. MacLaine started her acting career ahead of Beatty and he didn’t want to gain popularity as Shirley’s brother.
When asked why Beatty was so interested in filmmaking over acting, MacLaine said “That's why he's more comfortable behind the camera, he's in the total-control aspect. He has to have control over everything.” Beatty won an Academy Award for Best Director for "Reds" and earned nominations for Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Wow, such a talented guy here!
The Beatles And Their Partners
This photograph was taken in February of 1968 when the Beatles, together with their wives/girlfriends attended a Transcendental Meditation program at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in Rishikesh, India. They first met Maharishi in 1967, while the famous Transcendental Meditation teacher was in England for a lecture tour. This particular trip of the famous band proved to be productive and gained a lot of media attention.
The English rock band, especially George Harrison, was instrumental in shaping Western attitudes and behaviors about Indian spirituality. They took time to promote the benefits and practice of Transcendental Meditation. It is believed and proven that this non-religious method promotes relaxation and self-development.
Rocking with Jimi Hendrix
There were over 30 musicians set to perform on the stage at Woodstock. Jimi Hendrix was one of them. He headlined the festival - and only performed for about 30,000 attendees. Unfortunately, since he was last, most people had already gone home due to unfavorable weather conditions, such as rain and extreme heat.
Jimi Hendrix earned the most money out of anyone who performed at Woodstock. He walked away with $18,000. The performance lasted for two amazing hours. It has been said that this performance at Woodstock went down in history for him and his band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows.
Helen Keller & Charlie Chaplin
Helen Keller was an American advocate and author; however, she was best known for her disability as she could not see or hear. In her early life, she communicated using home signs; however, she then learned how to read and eventually earned a university degree in art. In those days, Charlie Chaplin was a British filmmaker who rose to fame through his unique silent films.
This rare image shows a very young Helen Keller seated center with the amazing Charlie Chaplin. Keller taught Chaplin sign language, and although she herself couldn't see any of the movies, she still made an effort to watch them.
