From Stripper to Queen! Empress Theodora & her controversial life
Theodora, the audacious and enigmatic Empress of Byzantium, defied expectations at every turn. From her humble beginnings as a courtesan and actress, she ascended to become the formidable ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire. Fierce, cunning, and unyielding, Theodora orchestrated political maneuvers, crushed rebellions, and protected her allies with ruthless determination. Yet, behind her shrewd machinations, there was another side to Theodora-an advocate for women's rights, a builder of magnificent structures, and a devout religious figure. But amidst the legends and controversies surrounding her reign, one thing remains clear: Theodora's legacy, as a saint and a force to be reckoned with, continues to captivate our imagination, leaving us eager to delve deeper into the captivating story of this extraordinary Empress.

The Derby Poisoner: Lydia Sherman 19th Century Black Widow
Переглядів 75Рік тому
For centuries, poison has been labeled as a women’s weapon and the concept of female un-alivers has always been taboo. Despite the serial un-alivers population being around 85% male, women too are responsible for some of history’s most heinous crimes. Lydia Sherman AKA The Derby Poisoner, was a 19th century female serial un-aliver in the US. She supposedly has around 10 victims including many o...

Women in ancient Rome held very few rights and by law were not considered equal to men. Despite this lack of rights, there is evidence of a few exceptional women who managed to attain great power and influence in ancient Rome. While some controlled events from the sidelines, others took matters into their own hands, forming conspiracies and even assassination plots to seize control of the Roman...

    I've always loved her, even I was only a year old when she died. My childhood came crashing for me when I found out That the studio started her on smoking and pills and yes even alcohol. The studio Mr. mayor used to call her his fatty and by him is why she didn't get off of the drugs. As you see, they did do this with male young boys, but look at the difference that the studios did with all the female actresses. Some of this still exists, but as bad. Male actors can be over 50 and still doing roles of adventure, where females at the same age of the men play mom roles and grandmas. Too much to disgusts, but if look they did the same to other actress as well. They only cared about the money not the young actors and definably women. So sad about her life. I hope she is at peace with God and the angels!

    This was fantastic thanks for putting it together. Btw since I'm currently watching "The New Look" on Apple TV I think it's worth pointing out that the other person his estate was left to, Raymonde Zehnacker, was not just his friend but rather his right hand woman and creative director at Dior.

    Her mother did NOT give Judy Garland pills or drugs. There is no evidence that ever happened. Judy may have said that; that's probably where that untruth came from. Judy Garland was a drug addict; drug addicts are not what you would call credible. She blamed everyone else for her troubles; her mother, Louis B. Mayer, MGM, Sid Luft. She made tapes to be used for an autobiography that never got completed. On the tapes she is obviously drunk or on drugs; she rants and raves about how badly she's been treated by everybody and then talks about "the stupid ones" who say she's a drug addict. "Well, it's a wonder I'm NOT!" Yes, she denied being a drug addict. In the very good book "The Making of the Wizard of Oz" the author said this of Judy Garland and it was true: "She lied a lot." Even her children admitted that. They said she never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

    In a video about Judy Garland, why do you start out @ :36 by showing someone merely pretending to be Garland, when many viewers may not be aware that the face shown, looking like someone sucking on lemons, is not actually the Great Lady, herself??? This really confounds me. While Googling Garland turns up a plethora of misleading photos of a homely actress pretending to be JG, it seems outrageous and ironic to show this wannabe in a 17-minute video about abuse sustained by Miss Garland, without even telling the viewers that the image being shown is not actually Miss Garland!!!

    He created the first regular army in Russia and increased the country's territory by 2 times. It's not really like "the worst king in history." And yes, he is a tsar, not a king. Tsar in translation from Russian means emperor. Ivan the Terrible did not kill his son. His son died of an illness and it is known that Ivan visited him for several days before he died. Rumors about the murder were started by people who could not physically be there at the time of this so-called murder. Ivan iv wasn't a bloody ruler. During his entire reign (over 37 years), fewer people were killed than in one Walpurgis night.

    Excellent job on a difficult and sad subject. I've been a fan of Judy Garland since 1965,when i was 5,watching her in that wonderful film The Wizard of Oz. It is so sad about the prescription medications/drugs, that she was given by he mother and MGM studios. She was also put on crazy dies for a teenager, and criticized for her looks or weight. She was also overworked. I know she collapse on the set of the film Girl Crrazy and was only given 2-3 wks off. The "medications" caused a lot of problems especially when she was making the film The Pirate. I once heard her daughter say back then, people called When Judy died at age 47 Liza was concerned it could be Suicide ,and she contacted the London Coroner who concluded 'incautious or accidental overdose. She took some pills at bedtime, then awoke and took more, which was too much for her frail body.

      @@Browser__History You really need to tone back your rabid feminism. It’s despicable. Men aren’t to blame for the choices of women. Your choice, your problem. Take responsibility. Judys mother, a woman, knew what she was doing. All she had to do was pull her away from it all. But she didn’t. But again… everything is a mans fault, right? Wrong. It’s mainly women eviscerating their own children before they have a chance at life.
