Not sure why the photo was banned. I wouldn't have recognized it as Freddie Mercury, but it doesn't look bad, at least to me.
Any day above ground is a good day.
it was probably banned cause wasn't it at the time when he was sick he didnt talk about it, and did what he could to look good int he lime light? You can tell there he has lost weight, got some sores on his face, which some aids people i knew had the same look about them before they died. And maybe he just didn't want that pic to come out. Compare to todays pics that pic doesn't look bad at all to me. its like celebraties with out makeup deal to me.
He still looks beautiful to me....I love Freddie...bless his heart.

Judging by the age of the children, that looks like it was taken 1913ish. They were killed in 1918.Freddie is one of the greatest.. sorely missed

I do have a copy of the last known photograph of the tsarina and two of the grand duchesses (taken April 1918) but I can't find it at the moment.

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
What's so good about goodbye, when the best was yet to come?

Interesting you bring her name up. I was watching Public Enemy the other day and she was in it. She always looked tough as nails to me.

It still breaks my heart to see Freddie looking so frail in the last pics. The sores are probably Kaposi's Sarcoma.

It is sad. Had he been able to hold out just a few more years he could likely have survivied and controlled it as a chronic disease.
So many good and talented people famous and not famous , a lost generation.

That is what I don't understand ~ how is it Magic Johnson is still kickin' and as healthy as ever? I think he came out with his on 90' or 92'? Very Sad for the first ones.

The speakers on my laptop aren't that great so I can't really tell what he is saying (except for a woman who seems to be laughing directly into the recording device), but you would never guess that this guy would OD the very next day.
He does look a little tired and disheveled though. Being cross-addicted six ways to Sunday myself (but in recovery, thank you LORD), you always have to worry about HALT -- Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. If you let yourself become any of these, you can quickly and easily find your recovery in the toilet.
Any day above ground is a good day.
Renowned Death Hag
God bless him, he was awesome. I saw him in the stage version of "Beauty and the Beast" several years ago here in LA in which he played Belle's father. He did a great job, and I remember being surprised that he was such a great stage actor, of course because I only knew him as Mr. C.Tom Bosley at the premiere for the Break-Up Plan
One thing I have to say is that I remember seeing this pic right after the premier and thinking how great he looked. In this pic he looks obviously frail and ill. I did a quick google and can't find the exact one, but did find the one below. Can't help but wonder how much the right angle, lighting and photoshop can change how a person looks.

Ooops made an error with the year of death... thx for the correctionJudging by the age of the children, that looks like it was taken 1913ish. They were killed in 1918.
I do have a copy of the last known photograph of the tsarina and two of the grand duchesses (taken April 1918) but I can't find it at the moment.
EDIT - Found it:
I know that the pic is from a few years prior to their murder.. but it was the latest I could find of the entire family.. found a few later ones of the Tzar alone from ca. 1917.

The picture of Ron Silver is breaking my heart. I had no idea.
Tyrone Power was a handsome guy back in the day.
The pictures of Tammy Faye and RFK are haunting.

Had to look up Iron Eyes Cody. Wasn't too sure who he was. Turns out he was Italian and from Louisiana. Go figure.
Are you kidding? Where can I read about this?
Renowned Death Hag
Ah, Hollywood!
In the early days of Hollywood, Italian actors were used in most cowboy movies as Indians. The fact that Iron Eyes Cody was Italian doesn't surprise me at all. He did seem to adopt the Native American ways, though, and as a Native American myself, I say why not?
There's a picture in the Oliver Reed biography Evil Spirits of him the day he died with someone who worked in the hotel he was staying in. Haven't been able to find it online yet and not sure if I feel like tempting copyright infringement...
Renowned Death Hag
Yeah, I remember when it came out that Iron Eyes Cody wasn't really American Indian. Not too long after the commercial I believe. There were a lot of disillusioned people out there at that point. It was a strong, memorable ad with a point as sharp as a tack, and it just lost some of the mystique when we found out he was just an actor - especially since he sooo looked the part. Of course I was a long younger then........
Renowned Death Hag
And, as an aside, that commercial was the first thing I thought of when, in the first season of Mad Men, Don and family are out at a picnic and when they are leaving, Betty just shakes off the blanket and leaves all the trash there.
We (society?) really were a bunch of pigs back in the day.
