If in the midst of your enjoyment of the world you have a moment, try to help in however small a way those who are downtrodden and those who, for whatever reason, cannot or do not help themselves.
Try not to turn away from those whos appearance is disturbing, from the ragged and unwell.
Try never to think of them as inferior to yourself.
If you can, try not even to think of yourself as better than the humblest beggar.
The animation industry is mourning the loss of a legend today, as according to Coming Soon, Ilene Woods, the voice of Disney’s iconic ’Cinderella,’ has died. She was 81.
Woods began her singing and acting career at the age of two, and by the time she turned 14 in the summer of 1944, she had already landed her own radio program, ‘The Ilene Woods Show,’ on ABC Radio. After moving to California to pursue a career in show business, Woods was contacted by songwriters Mack David and Jerry Livingston to record tracks for a new film they were working on. When those recordings made their way into Walt Disney’s hands, he called Woods up and signed her for the signature role of Cinderella, which became an instant classic when it debuted to worldwide acclaim in 1950.
What a freakin’ waste. I can understand this happening to young adults who many times don’t consider the consequense of drinking large amounts of alchol but this guy was old enough to know better. I have no sympathy for adults that do this to themselves.
I wonder what the rest of the story is because it does not seem normal that a older adult would drink like this unless there was a problem.
Apparently this is not his first time he got in trouble because of his drinking. He punched out a senatorial aide in 1993 during a drunken rage and in 1990 he wrecked his dad’s Mercedes while drunk.
I guess the good side of this is that he only killed himself and did nto take an innocent bystander with him.
Some might say they feel sorry for his girlfriend and daughter but this might be blessing in disguise since they will now not have to live with this drunk.
