Few actors have defined the art of acting the way Al Pacino has. Born on April 25, 1940 in New York City, Pacino rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful figures in film history. With unforgettable roles in The Godfather, Scarface, and Scent of a Woman, his performances are a masterclass in emotion, intensity, and truth. Over five decades, he has won every major award, inspiring generations of actors and filmmakers. Al Pacino is more than a performer — he is the embodiment of passion, perseverance, and pure artistry that continues to shape world cinema.

𝙑𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙖 𝙅𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙖 (1878 /1966)
One of the most notable and respected women of Prescott, Viola Jimulla, was the first Chieftess of the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe. She led the tribe for 26 years
She was born Sica-tuva, meaning "born quickly" on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation around June of 1878. While attending Rice Arizona Indian School, she took the name Viola.
Around 1900 when the Yavapai were allowed to return to their homelands, she moved to the Prescott vicinity to live with her family. In 1901, she married Sam "Red Ants" Jimulla and became an active part of the tribal, as well as the Prescott, community.
Viola"s husband was appointed chief of the Yavapai-Prescott Tribe by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in the mid-1930s and was officially elected chief by the tribe. After Sam"s accidental death in 1940, Viola became Chieftess of the Prescott Yavapais, thus becoming the first Chieftess in the North American West. Viola guided her tribe with wisdom and kindness until her death in 1966. Her leadership helped the Yavapais achieve better living conditions and bridged the Indian and Anglo cultures. Viola"s personal strengths and skills helped her people adapt and grow with the surrounding Anglo community. Although she formed a bridge between the two cultures, she still honored the traditions of her tribe

OMG! LACE CURTAINS! By 1911 a genteel touch had come to Terry, MT. Evelyn Cameron photographed the Central Café & Bakery and the Central Hotel (left). Old Glory had 46 stars. Terry’s population had grown to about 800 after the arrival of the Milwaukee Railroad in 1907 and the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909.

Residents would have to wait a few years for electricity and indoor plumbing to be available. Text and digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin. PC users can click image to enlarge/clarify.

Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves),
Get yours tee: https://legacytee.com/campaign/waiting-for-the-epstein-files
Missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new film in one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.
The club owner said: "I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to be let in - he didn't say anything to anyone."
"He travels by public transport". "He easily communicates with homeless people on the street and helps them".
- He is only 58 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can just eat a hot dog in the park, sitting between ordinary people. - After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skill.
- He gave up most of the fee for the salaries of costume designers and computer scientists who draw special effects in "The Matrix" - decided that their share of participation in the budget of the film was underestimated.
- He reduced his fee in the film The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend died; his girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister fell ill with leukemia.
Keanu did not break: he donated $5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to shoot (to be with her), and created the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant sums from each fee for the film. You can be born a man, but to remain one..

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE, circa 1931. The young photographer was atop an eagle-shaped gargoyle at the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building in Manhattan. She would prove her bravery again during World War II as the first American woman photojournalist allowed into combat zones. In 1945, she accompanied Gen. Patton and photographed emaciated inmates of concentration camps and corpses in gas chambers.

The Chrysler Building was completed in 1930. The photo dates from not long after. The stainless-steel gargoyles were somewhat similar to the hood ornaments used on Chrysler and Plymouth automobiles. I usually post restored photos of the Old West, but I am a fan of the Bourke-White’s work. If using a PC, click image to enlarge/clarify.

DEAF BULL, circa 1889, by L.A. Huffman. Deaf Bull spent 18 months at the infamous Fort Snelling (MN) prison for being a key figure in the 1887 Crow Rebellion led by Sword Bearer. A guard smashed Deaf Bull in the face with a rifle butt, reportedly to stop him from cutting the throat of another prisoner. This caused scarring to the cheek and perhaps eye damage. PC users can click image to enlarge/clarify.

In 1879, Huffman became post photographer at Fort Keogh, adjacent to Miles City in Eastern Montana. A log cabin with a dirt floor served as his studio and home. Huffman included this shot in his wonderful 1907 series of postcards. The first two books on Huffman’s photos, "The Frontier Years" and "Before Barbed Wire," provided extensive history of the Northern Plains. Text and digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin.
