Lauren Bacall for "Young Man with a Horn" in 1950
Betty Joan Perske (September 16, 1924 – August 12, 2014), professionally known as Lauren Bacall, was an American actress. She was named the 20th-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute and received an Academy Honorary Award in 2009 in recognition of her contribution to the Golden Age of motion pictures. She was known for her alluring, sultry presence and her distinctive, husky voice. Bacall was one of the last surviving major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.
Bacall began a career as a model for the Walter Thornton Model Agency before making her film debut at the age of 20 as the leading lady opposite her future husband Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not (1944). She continued in the film noir genre with appearances alongside her new husband in The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948), and she starred in the romantic comedies How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and Designing Woman (1957). She portrayed the female lead in Written on the Wind (1956) which is considered one of Douglas Sirk's seminal films. She later acted in Harper (1966), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), and The Shootist (1976).
She found a career resurgence for her role in the romantic comedy The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) for which she earned the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award, in addition to nominations for the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress. During the final stage of her career, she gained newfound success with a younger audience for major supporting roles in the films Misery (1990), Dogville (2003), Birth (2004), and the English dubs of the animated films Howl's Moving Castle (2004) and Ernest & Celestine (2012).
For her work on theatre, she made her Broadway debut in Johnny 2x4 (1942). She went on to win two Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical for her performances in Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). She also acted in the play Goodbye Charlie (1959), the farce Cactus Flower (1965), and Wonderful Town (1977). She made her West End debut in The Applause (1970) followed by Sweet Bird of Youth (1985).

The turtle neck is off-set by leaf-like clusters of pearls. Miss Bacall wears this dramatic creation in Young Man With a Horn, 1950

Malte appreciation post for how he delivered the scene after the announcement of closing Hillerska.
You can actually see how it grows in him, boils and boils and boils up until...
The way it just stopped me in shock of how August reacted - even more bc of the fact that he is a person who is perceived as a leader of the school and how very important for the other students it was to have somebody who will tell them what to do in this chaos.
And August still has that, we could see in that scene when no one was listening to Vincent asking for attention.
And August successfully stopped them.
So yeah, maybe it wasn't going from a place of "I need to say something to make them feel better" in August. But he was honest and he said it with good effect.
Also, it really made me hold my breath for this scene. I felt pretty similar to when I watched season 1 Wille screaming at August at the gym.
Oh Malte, the actor you are.

I originally queued that "practice surgery" bill with the intent for Vasso to gain some medical experience, but I really like the idea of Bella becoming Doctor Darlington-Whit, so perhaps she will see more surgery in the near future.
Yay Magic Man!!!!!! I love him so much I am going to get so sick of drawing his wings he is so cool and badass
Magic Man, as my colonist with the highest melee ability (level 9), gets the honour of having a magic sword judge his every action until the end of time <3
M.M. is the best colonist, sorry everyone. I don't make the rules.
Unfortunately, we only managed to snag one of the bionic thrumbos (his name is Poison). His lady friend wandered off the map before M.M. could reach her.
