    Renee Simonot’s death is quite touching : besides being one of the key figures of this site since a few years and being the oldest living actress at the time of her death, her passing occured exactly while Catherine Deneuve was publicly acclaimed at Cannes. It was Deneuve’s first public appearance since her stroke last year (She looked really well btw) and everyone was looking forward to her presence. Before she knew her mother has died, she said (as it’s related in this article) that it was her most emotional Canne Festival ever : the up-and-downs must have felt terrible for her that day and It indeed must have been the most emotional festival of her Life...

    The tweet doesn't seem worrying, maybe somewhat cryptic or just "remembering old times". The actual quote is from a 2008 interview, a part of the answer to a question about if he ever thought of getting a plastic surgery.

    William Henry McCarty Jr. or William H. Bonney (the name he used at the height of his notoriety), popularly known as Billy the Kid, one of the most infamous gunfighters and outlaws of the American West, reputed to have killed at least 27 men, died of a gunshot wound at Ft. Sumner in the New Mexico Territory on this date in 1881. He was 21 years old. Billy went to his friend Pete Maxwell's home. Sheriff Pat Garrett was questioning Maxwell. Garrett and Billy were armed. But Garrett shot first, killing Billy. Billy was buried in Fort Sumner's military cemetery. A tombstone was later erected over the grave with a word of "Pals" carved into it. The tombstone has been stolen three times since it was set in place in the 40's and the gravesite is now enclosed within a steel cage.
