Sally Field As Gidget
Sally Field got her big break playing a surfer girl who always got into trouble in Gidget. “By the end of my workshop, I got a call from a casting director. The waiting room was filled with attractive movie stars. All had professional headshots. I had wallet photos of me with my friends. I walked into the room and asked, ‘Which is the camera?’ The casting director said, ‘You’re in.’ The sky was looking out for me. He told me he would throw me in the ocean and see if I could swim.”
The Red Army Liberated The Auschwitz-Birkenau
When the Soviet Army arrived at Auschwitz on January 27th, 1945, they found a warehouse of belongings. They found syringes, needles, prosthetic limbs, and shoes. The police thought the camp had been abandoned. When they found out it was full of sick and starving people the Nazis had left behind, they quickly ran. Elisavetskii was the first soldier to go into the camp. They rushed toward us, shouted, fell on their knees, kissed our boots, and threw their arms around our legs.
