Life In The Trenches Of World War I
Even those with the smallest understanding of World War I know that the soldiers involved spent much of the event in trenches. This was something that the American Civil War troops utilized too, burrowing themselves into the ground to better resist the incoming enemy waves. Northern France and Belgium became the sites for intricate trench networks where countless men would wallow in and die for months. While these tunnel-like formations had been built for defensive purposes, they were incredibly dangerous places where the lion’s share of this war’s casualties were suffered.
The 1956 Production Of Giant With Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor’s life was filled with incredible moments. It was only in the 50s that she was discovered, however, even though she began acting in 1941. The film Giant would be her big break, where she co-starred with James Dean and Rock Hudson. While Taylor could not bring herself to watch her completed films, she would think fondly of the experiences. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Giant. I don’t look at old movies of myself. I don’t even look at new ones of myself. But I loved Jimmy and I loved Rock. And I was the last person Jimmy was with before he drove to his death…But that was a private, personal moment,” Taylor recounted.
