How the girl who was called ugly became the sexiest woman alive

People would say she was so ugly. For the life of me, I never ever saw her that way. She was slim and trim, thick hair, a bit of a native pretty look to her eyes, never needed makeup and could sing like angels calling from heaven. Very different from the start On January 19, 1943, a baby girl was born in Port Arthur, Texas. Her parents were everyday working folks and perfectly normal. Her mother, Dorothy, worked at a local college, and her father, Seth, was an engineer at Texaco. The family was deeply religious and sought a quiet, God-centered life. But it quickly became clear that their daughter was different from other kids. She demanded more attention and had a unique spark that set her apart. From an early age, it was obvious she was drawn to unconventional people and determined to carve her own path. The artist grew up in a deeply segregated town, at a time when integration was fiercely debated — this was the era of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. They and their friends...

I Buried My Son 10 Years Ago – When I Saw My New Neighbors' Son, I Could Have Sworn He Looked like Mine Would If He Were Alive Today

I buried my 9-year-old son ten years ago. When new neighbors moved in, I brought over a pie to welcome them. Their teenage son opened the door… and I nearly collapsed. He had my son’s face! And when I told my husband, he whispered something that changed everything. My son, Daniel, died when he was nine years old. He was playing with a ball near the school gate, and then a car turned too fast off the side street, and that was it. One moment he existed in the world, and the next he didn't. The grief of losing a child never goes away. It's a wound that scabs and leaves a scar in your heart that you feel forever. When I saw a young man who looked exactly like my boy, it felt like that wound tore open all over again. The grief of losing a child never goes away. For years after Daniel died, I still turned my head when I heard boys laughing down the street. I still expected, for half a second, to hear a ball bouncing in the driveway. I was advised to have more kids. "It will he...

”Every teen girl’s dream” in the ’90s now lives a quite life and works as a psychologist

He was once the boy every magazine wanted on its cover — a smiling face that filled American living rooms through the 1980s. But behind the fame and perfect image was a young actor quietly struggling with identity, pressure, and purpose. Before he could even drive a car, he was working full-time in Hollywood, jumping from one hit show to the next. The world saw a confident young idol. Inside, he was just a kid who wanted to know who he really was. A childhood on set This former adorable child actor, born in 1974, landed his first role at just eight years old, portraying an autistic boy in St. Elsewhere. To help him prepare, his mother explained that children with autism often live in worlds of their own. “And I understood that. I would sit there and have this whole world going on in my head. I’d be following the patterns on the wall, and in my head there was an imaginary war going on between the shapes,” he once reflected. He also made a guest appearance in an early episode of Ai...

Eminem's Grandmother Betty Passed Away at 87 – Inside Their Complicated Relationship

The 53-year-old American rapper is facing another painful family goodbye — but the story behind this loss is far more layered than it first appears. Keep reading to find out more details. Eminem's maternal grandmother, Betty Kresin, has died at 87, according to TMZ, closing the chapter on a family bond that was at times loving, bruising, public, and impossible to neatly define. TMZ reported that Betty died Tuesday (March 10, 2025) at her home in Missouri from complications related to breast cancer. The outlet also reported that Eminem was not with her when she passed away. The loss lands especially hard because it comes just over a year after another deeply personal death in the rapper's family. Betty was the mother of Debbie Nelson, Eminem's mom, who died in December 2024 at the age of 69 following a battle with advanced lung cancer. That means Marshall Mathers — one of hip-hop's most private public figures when it comes to grief — has now lost both his mother and gr...

Expert reveals why HPV-related throat cancer is rising among men due to oral se x

An expert has offered their opinion as to why men seem to be disproportionately affected by HPV-related oral cancers. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is an extremely common sexually transmitted infection that sometimes causes no symptoms but can result in genital warts or long-term cancers. As per reports, there are over 200 strains of the virus, and while as many as 90% of infections clear on their own within two years, 14 strains are known to cause precancerous changes or cancer itself. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) claim that around 10 per cent of men and 3.6 per cent of women are known to carry the virus, making it the most common in the US. Perhaps the most well-known case of HPV was that of iconic actor Michael Douglas, who was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer in 2010. Douglas acknowledged publicly that the disease could be linked to oral sex, while also mentioning smoking and drinking as other potential causes. Experts have warned that it can be decades before ...
