Gay Gibson (16 June 1926 – 18 October 1947)

"a beastly thing to do"

Re-coloured photo rendering of actress 'Gay Gibson' (Eileen Isabella Ronnie Gibson) - who went missing from the Durban Castle during a voyage between Cape Town, South Africa and Southampton, England in 1947.

The criminal case that followed was known as the Porthole Murder. Deck steward James Camb would later be convicted, after admitting to pushing Gay's body through her cabin porthole, discarding of the corpse 25 feet into the "shark infested" depths below.

Camb denied killing Gibson, claiming she had died of a "sudden illness" during consensual intercourse. He disposed of her body in a panic, fearing for his job, later describing this as "a beastly thing to do". Camb was sentenced to death, but a suspension of the death penalty meant he served just 11 years for the murder, though was later convicted of unrelated crimes - an additional 10 years.

It seems apparent through subsequent interviews with fellow shipmates and previous coworkers of Gay Gibson, that she did infact suffer with ongoing health issues, including an undisclosed heart problem and fainting spells. Evidence examined at the trial saw significant injuries to Camb's wrist, Gay's urine on her cabin bed and blood on her pillow. Gay was possibly pregnant at the time of her death.

My heart is broken with this one, even though she had a long life and magnificent career. We will always have the gift of her epic performances. ❤️

An actor has died and to remember her life, they placed a giant floating cube above a fountain in a park. Each side of the cube has a poster of the movies she was in, but all of them depicted the main characters instead of her. Nobody remembered her face in that park.

Need Aegon to be absolutely insane about Jaehaera by the way. Maximum overprotective father, does NOT let her out of his sight unless there's half the king's guard present around her at all times. He already lost one child and with Helaena sinking deeper into her grief and madness his daughter is all he has left.

Skull presented to Sarah Bernhardt by Victor Hugo, c. 1877

It was inscribed with verses on the theme of death that he had composed in her honor:

Squelette, qu'as tu fait de l'àme? Lampe, qu'as tu fait de la flame? Cage déserte, qu'as tu fait? De ton bel oiseau qui chantait? Volcan, qu'as tu fait de la lave? Qu'as tu fait de ton maître, esclave?

.

Skeleton, what have you done with the soul? Lamp, what have you done with the flame? ...

Ophelia, Sarah Bernhardt, 1880

Some sad news to share - Eiko Masuyama, the iconic original voice of both Fujiko Mine (Lupin III) and Cutie Honey/Honey Kisaragi (Cutie Honey), has passed away at the age of 89 due to pneumonia. The first voice of Fujiko til she passed on the role to Miyuki Sawashiro, she was the last surviving member of the show's original core cast. A prolific actress in Japan, while many of her roles were in things not released in the US, she was also the voice of Princess Snow Kaguya in Sailor Moon S: The Movie. RIP to a true icon, whose amazing performances will never be forgotten.

Yknow I was also thinking... if Neuvi were to ask Furina to become immortal again for his sake, she might actually say yes. Which is exactly WHY he'd never ask her to do so, because as much as he dreads her inevitable absence, he won't condemn her to that fate again

You got it. Because when she took on that curse half a millennium ago, it was also a request she agreed to. For the sake of all of Fontaine and not just the sake of Focalors, but it's still all too similar. Even if she said yes to him because she actually wants it then, who's to say she'll always want it? Who's to say the decades, the centuries won't weigh heavier and heavier as they pass, just like before? Who's to say she won't have to ask him to make her mortal again? And that would be even more painful than simply letting her go when she's meant to. So instead he'll treasure the time she has, that she's more than earned, and he'll do everything he can for her to treasure it too.
