Oh no he sucked for most of his life (became a really good person in the last year of his life but unfortunately he passed away right after), that’s why my grandma remarried, but my current grandpa is the greatest man to exist

They look like Percheron's but I'm not an expert on draft horses.

Nope, not even close……you might be able to pay for the books for a semester while working full time & going to class but you ain’t putting anyone through school. Clueless.

Believe it or not (or nuts) she filmed a topless scene for this film. She insisted it be removed before the film was released. Some stills from it can still be found in Google. “The Owl 🦉 and the Pussycat 🐈⬛”

She died in 1873, so maybe early 1860s, based on her appearance. Just a guess.

Horses are a lot bigger than people realize, and draft horse can get huge. Ive had quarter horses, and when people saw them, they were always amazed at how big and how fast they were.
My paddock was about 4 acres, irregularly shaped, and trees screening most of the edges, so you often didnt see them at first. When I'd call them, they would often be a few hundred yards away. When they came tearing around a corner at full speed, they often scared the hell out of people if they werent used to it.
I'm 100% positive they enjoyed doing that, as much as I did watching it.

There’s a really good episode of the podcast You Must Remember This about Fatty Arbuckle. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Debunking Hollywood Babylon season.

Barbra has been my favorite singer since the 1970s, I had 21 of her albums (as LPs or CDs or cassettes), one of the best female vocalists of all time.
But for some reason I never could stand her as an actress. I'm not saying she wasn't any good, but I've just never liked her, except for What's Up, Doc? (1972), I adore that movie--just watched it again this weekend--despite the fact that it also stars Ryan O'Neal, another actor I dislike. And she never looked more beautiful (IMO) despite her very unconventional looks.
The above photo is taken from The Owl and the Pussycat (1970) with George Seagal, one of the highest-grossing films that year, but I never saw it and never want to.
