Happy Birthday to New Kids on the Block member (and my favorite New Kid) Jonathan Knight! 😀

On This Day in History: Natalie Wood Dies
It was 34 years ago today that actress Natalie Wood was found dead on Santa Catalina Island during a weekend boat trip with her husband, actor Robert Wagner, and her Brainstorm co-star, Christopher Walken. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled her death as an accident by drowning and hypothermia.
In November 2011, Dennis Davern–the captain of Wagner’s yacht, Splendour–publicly stated that he had lied to the police during the initial investigation, informing them that Wood and Wagner had been fighting just prior to her having been reported missing from the boat. Davern alleged that Wagner was responsible for Wood’s death. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner reopened the case and amended Wood’s death certificate to state that the cause of her death was due to “drowning and other undetermined factors.”
I loved all of her films, but my favorite would probably be Splendor In The Grass. Do you have a favorite Natalie Wood film?

Happy Birthday to one of my favorites…actor Michael Vartan!
Happy Thanksgiving
Here’s wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
What I am most thankful for is my family, my friends, my health, having food on the table and having a roof over my head. I’m thankful and grateful every single day for these things, but over the course of the year, I’ve learned to appreciate them even more. ❤️ 👴 👵 🏡 🍗
Film Preview: ‘Miracles from Heaven’
I’m looking forward to seeing the film, Miracles from Heaven, which is scheduled for release in 2016. The film stars Jennifer Garner and Martin Henderson.
Humorless People Suck
Just had an incident with someone in which I posted an innocent comment on this person’s page and they didn’t appreciate it. Apparently, I’m not allowed to make any comments (or have my own opinion) on their page, so I was given a warning. Then they suggested that next time, I either move right along or unfollow them. 😡 😒
This photo quote I found explains why a sense of humor is very important in life. 🙂
Another Year, Another Birthday
We’ve come to that time of year again where I celebrate another birthday. Let me start off by saying that I’m grateful to God for keeping me healthy. This year has been rather rough for me and my family. My only wish for the next year is that my parents and siblings be healthy. 🙂 🍰 🎉 🎈
Martin Henderson on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
After taking a long hiatus (i.e. about five plus years) from not watching Grey’s Anatomy, I will start watching it again tonight because of this man. Henderson debut on Grey’s was Nov. 11; he plays the role of Dr. Nathan Riggs. 🙂

Song Sunday: Huey Lewis and the News
My good friend/Godsister invited me to see this band perform about two years ago at a popular winery located not too far from where we grew up. I love ’80s music and at that point in time, I needed some cheering up since one of my cousins had just passed away and I wasn’t able to make it to her funeral.
Enjoy and have a great week. 🙂
‘Wonder Woman’ TV Series Turns 40
On Nov. 7, 1975, a television pilot aired on ABC-TV called The New, Original Wonder Woman, which centered around an Amazon warrior princess named Diana Prince, portrayed by the beautiful and talented Lynda Carter.
Diana Prince, who’s also known as Wonder Woman, leaves Paradise Island with Major Steve Trevor (portrayed by Lyle Waggoner) to return him back to America. Prince’s alter ego, Wonder Woman, fights all likes of evil with her golden belt (the source of her power and strength) and lasso, and bullet-deflecting bracelets, and transports herself in her invisible jet.
The show ran for a total of three seasons: the pilot and Season 1 aired on ABC-TV, while Seasons 2 and 3 aired on CBS-TV. The last Wonder Woman episode aired on Sept. 11, 1979. 📺 🙂
