But in the final days of filming, the director allegedly implored them to perform in the nude with body makeup, ‘or the Picture would fail.’” At the very end of 2022, Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey, the stars of the popular 1968 film of William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Julietfiled suit against the movie’s distributor, Paramount Pictures, accusing the company of “sexually exploiting them and distributing nude images of adolescent children.” Whiting and Hussey claimed that the movie’s director, Franco Zeffirelli, had “assured both actors that there would be no nudity in the film, and that they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in the bedroom scene.

As a prelude to this disappearing act, the SS murdered most of the scientists and technicians involved with the project, a secret weapon that according to one German Nobel prize-winning physicist, was given a classification of "decisive for the war," a security classification higher than any other secret weapons project in the Third Reich, including its atomic bomb.

Taken aboard a massive six engine Junkers 390 ultra-long range aircraft, "The Bell," Kammler, and all project records disappeared completely, along with the gigantic airecraft. In 1945, a mysterious Nazi secret weapons project code-named "The Bell" left its underground bunker in lower Silesia, along with all its project documentation, and a four-star SS general named Hans Kammler. 6/30/2023 0 Comments Baxandall painting and experienceThe result of his Warburg years research appeared as his first book Giotto and the Orators, 1971, an examination of how language shapes a response to art.

I recommend going the classic x men route.)Ĭockrum has an old fashioned art style, Claremont is an inexperienced writer, and the target audience is pretty young. That means if you don't want to read every issue, you can "speed" through the run and only read those.Ĭlaremont/Cockrum run 1975-1977 Claremont is still getting his sea legs, but hey, it's fun!
