Which Was The Most Uncomfortable Scene An Actor Ever Had To Shoot?
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in The Abyss.
The scene is legendary because it caused her to storm off set and threaten not to finish the film if James Cameron forced her to do any more takes.
In the scene, Mastrantonio’s character, Lindsey, has just drowned and been hauled back to the oil rig, and her husband Bud (Ed Harris), along with their crew mates, are trying to revive her. Mastrantonio was soaking wet and freezing cold, lying on a metal grate. Her shirt was torn and her breasts exposed, and Harris had to shake her, scream at her, and repeatedly slap her across the face (to which she, of course, could not react, and had to play dead).

The car of a missing college student and skeletal remains were found in Georgia this week in an unsolved four-decade-old missing persons case, authorities said on Wednesday.
On January 27, 1976, 22-year-old Kyle Clinkscales was last seen leaving a bar in LaGrange, Georgia in his white 1974 Pinto Runabout to head back to Auburn University for classes.
Clinkscales never arrived on campus and was never seen or heard from again.
On Dec. 8, law enforcement confirmed they had found Clinkscales’ car in a creek off County Road 83 near Cusseta, Alabama in Chambers County.
The car’s identification matched the 1974 Ford Pinto Runabout that Clinkscales was last seen driving.
While going through the car, 50 different skeletal remains were recovered, along with a wallet — with identification and credit cards.

A Few Tips, Tricks And Hacks That Will Make Your Life A Whole Lot Easier

How To Spot A Gold Digger
1. Understand what a gold digger is, and is not.
There’s nothing wrong with a person being concerned about your financial stability. A long-term partnership means depending on each other through the ups and downs, and being financially reliable does help with that to a degree.
The difference between a gold digger and someone who values your role as a provider is that the gold digger would deride and perhaps leave you if you lost your ability to provide for them financially.
A good person can appreciate your financial resources, but a gold digger appreciates only that, and will not see the relationship as worthwhile if you’re not well off.
