time 8,548 Posted March 14, 2018 Eighty-five years since sled-dog Balto died aged 14. Famed for delivering the diptheria anti-toxin to Nome, Alaska. There's a statue of him in Central Park and his remains are mounted on display (see above) at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History. He was voiced by Kevin Bacon in the film (loosely) based on his life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,348 Posted March 14, 2018 The proletariat of life lost to the bourgeoisie of illness when Karl Marx died aged 64, 135 years ago today. Latterly, after he'd got all of that socialist activism out of his system, he appeared in Only Fools And Horses as Uncle Albert for 11 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dustbin even slapped her during the filming in order to make it `realistic`. He really hurt her. He both phyically and emotionally abused her during the filming of that movie. The man is a real peach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
