Here’s A Look At The New Star Wars Character Names

By Midnight Man, in General,

Here’s A Look At The New Star Wars Character Names
J.J. Abrams has revealed the first characters' names from Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a very retro way. The film's co-writer and director along and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy unveiled eight new trading cards, just like the ones first released for the original Star Wars in 1977. In the first card, the adorable soccer ball drone is revealed to be named BB-8. We also learn that Oscar Isaac's X-Wing pilot is called Poe Dameron, and that big baddie with the cross gaurd lightsaber? He might have the most hipster name of all: Kylo Ren, which would make sense if rumors are true and that ominous form, is Girls star and hipster idol Adam Driver. The cards also apparently revealed one big rumor about the film to be untrue. Daisy Ridley's character, which was speculated to be named Kira, is actually called Rey, but the glaring absence of Rey's surname points to a possible family connection to others in the Star Wars universe. John Boyega also doesn't have a known last name yet, but the possible Stormtrooper is called Finn.

Weird Celebrity Death: Tennessee Williams

By Midnight Man, in Celebrity,

Weird Celebrity Death: Tennessee Williams
Tennessee Williams was an American playwright and author of many stage classics, and although a man named Williams was responsible for Sal Mineo’s death, another man named Williams was responsible for the launch of his career: Tennessee Williams.The Rose Tattoo provided Mineo with his first role on stage. (Natalie Wood was no stranger to Williams, either. She starred with Robert Redford in This Property Is Condemned, a Williams adaptation from 1966, as well as in a TV version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with her husband Robert Wagner in 1976. Of course, appearing in a Tennessee Williams play in the latter half of the 20th Century was certainly not unusual. Williams dominated the theater scene of the period, and he remains one of the most popular and respected playwrights in American letters, 30 years after his death. Active as a writer from the ‘30s until the ‘80s, he produced dozens of plays, two of which won the Pulitzer Prize, and many of which were made into successful Hollywood films: The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Sweet Bird of Youth, and The Night of the Iguana among them. Despite often controversial themes, the films made from Williams’ plays were popular hits and featured some of the biggest stars of the day, including Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor. Despite his success, Williams’ life was troubled and unstable. After the death of his long-time partner Frank Merlo in 1963, Williams became dependent on prescription drugs and sleeping pills. Alcohol abuse added to his woes, and his mental health declined. Inevitably Williams was discovered dead in his New York hotel suite. Drugs were involved, to no one’s surprise, but the actual cause of death was asphyxiation. One theory is that Williams was attempting to swallow some barbiturates, and he accidentally dropped a cap from an eye drops bottle that he was using as a pill holder down his throat. Another is that Williams was holding the cap in his mouth as he put in eye drops and somehow swallowed it. Whatever happened, Williams could not have scripted a more absurd or hapless end for one of his own characters. He died Fubruary 25, 1983 at the age of 71.

Weird Celebrity Death: Marie Prevost

By Midnight Man, in Celebrity,

Weird Celebrity Death: Marie Prevost
Marie Prevost was a Canadian-born film actress. Modern audiences tend to look back upon movie stars of an earlier age as somehow simpler and more innocent, untainted by the temptations and setbacks that visit contemporary celebrities. Anyone who investigates the back pages of an earlier Hollywood is sure to find that this isn’t the case. Take the story of Marie Prevost. Born in Canada, Mary Bickford Dunn moved to L.A. and made her movie debut in 1916. A couple of years later, she was signed on as one of Mack Sennett’s “Bathing Beauties.” No doubt dismayed by the similarity of her given name to one of the biggest stars in Hollywood (Mary Pickford), the comedy of Svengali renamed her Marie Prevost, “The Exotic French Girl.” The rechristened beauty moved on to many starring roles as the ‘20s quintessential brazen and independent female, the flapper. She appeared in a series of romantic comedies made by some of the biggest directors of the time, including Cecil B. DeMille and Ernst Lubitsch, and her career seemed to be on an upward trajectory. Circumstances halted the rising star, however. Her marriage to leading man Kenneth Harlan began to fail, and her mother was killed in a car crash. Prevost began to drink, and her slim flapper body lost its shape. The industry’s transition to sound affected almost every actor who had been a star in the silent era, and Prevost was lumped into this group of former silent stars. Her drinking increased, and by the early 30s, she was lucky to play bit parts. Desperate to recover some of her former glamor, Prevost began to diet dangerously. This, combined with her ongoing alcohol problem, could only lead to disaster. On January 23, 1937, neighbors irritated by the barking of a dog in Prevost’s apartment called the police. What the police found shocked them: the malnutritioned corpse of Marie Prevost, her legs and arms chewed up by her traumatized dog. Years later, pop singer Nick Lowe would somewhat indelicately memorialize this discovery in his song “Marie Provost.” The final indignity for the forgotten Marie, he misspelling of her name in the title. She died January 21, 1937 at the age 38.
