Rajput was a talented and popular actor. He was also known for his philanthropy and dedication to his craft. He was widely appreciated for his versatility as an actor and his ability to portray a wide range of characters. He received critical acclaim for his performances and was widely regarded as one of the most promising actors in the industry.

‘Sushant Singh Rajput was murdered’, claims Cooper Hospital mortuary servant

More than two years have passed since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. Now the person who conducted Sushant’s postmortem claimed that the actor did not commit suicide but was murdered.

The Mumbai Police had termed it a suicide and the family suspected it to be a murder. Now there has been a new twist in this case. Roopkumar Shah, who claimed to have conducted Sushant Singh’s postmortem, has told that the actor did not commit suicide but was murdered.

He also claimed that he had spoken to his higher officials and asked them to record the postmortem as per rules, but asked them to take pictures and hand over the body to the police. However, questions are also being raised about whether Roopkumar Shah was involved in the team that conducted the postmortem or not.

Recently during a conversation, Sushant’s father KK Singh told a TV channel, ‘My child cannot commit suicide. He was not stupid, he was courageous, and he was fast-paced. He didn’t have the temperament to commit suicide. We have been watching him since childhood and we know what a brave and bold person he was.

Sushant’s father KK Singh had alleged that his son was murdered and Riya Chakraborty was also involved in this murder. Rhea Chakraborty was questioned by the investigating agencies in the case. Along with the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau are also involved in this investigation. The case is with the CBI and so far the investigating agency has not disclosed the cause of death.

There were 2-3 marks on the neck

Rupkumar Shah, a mortuary servant of Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, told the TV9 channel, “When Sushant Singh Rajput died, we found five bodies in Cooper Hospital for postmortem. One of those five bodies was a VIP body. When we went to conduct the postmortem, it was found that he was Sushant and there were many marks on his body.

There were also two-three marks on his neck. The postmortem needed to be recorded, but the higher authorities had only asked for pictures of the body to be taken. We did the same as per the order. ‘

This is not suicide, it is murder

He further says, “When I first saw Sushant’s body, I immediately told my seniors that I think it is not suicide but murder. I even told them that we should act according to the rules. However, my seniors told me to take pictures as soon as possible and hand over the body to the police. This was the reason why the postmortem was done at night. ‘

On the other hand, Dr Sachin Sonawane, who conducted Sushant’s postmortem, has said that Roopkumar Shah was not part of his team.

Kevin Conroy Known For Voicing The Titular Character In Batman: The Animated Series Dies At 66

Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman for three decades of animated TV, specials and video games, died Thursday. He was 66.

His death was announced by his rep Gary Miereanu and Warner Bros. A cause was not disclosed, but he reportedly had been battling cancer.

In a statement, Warner Bros. Animation said it “is saddened by the loss of our dear friend Kevin Conroy. His iconic performance of Batman will forever stand among the greatest portrayals of the Dark Knight in any medium. We send our warmest thoughts to his loved ones and join fans around the world in honoring his legacy.”

An actor with credits on stage, television and film, Conroy became a premier voice actor as the title character of Batman: The Animated Series (1992-96). He’d eventually give voice to the Dark Knight in nearly 60 different productions, including 15 films and more than 15 animated series spanning nearly 400 episodes and more than 100 hours of television.

Conroy also voiced Batman in dozens of video games and was featured as a live-action Bruce Wayne in the Arrowverse’s 2019-20 “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event.

“Kevin was perfection,” said Mark Hamill, who voiced the Joker opposite Conroy’s Batman. “He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated.”

In recent years, Conroy was a fixture on the convention circuit.

“Kevin was far more than an actor whom I had the pleasure of casting and directing – he was a dear friend for 30+ years whose kindness and generous spirit knew no boundaries,” said casting/dialogue director Andrea Romano. “Kevin’s warm heart, delightfully deep laugh and pure love of life will be with me forever.”

Born on November 30, 1955, in Westbury, NY, and raised in Westport, CT, Conroy attended The Juilliard School and, under the tutelage of John Houseman, studied alongside Christopher Reeve and Frances Conroy. He was, at one point, a roommate of Robin Williams.

Conroy began his stage career following in both New York and at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, playing Hamlet at the 1984 New York Shakespeare Festival.

On TV, he had recurring roles in Dynasty, Tour of Duty and Ohara and appeared on the soaps Search for Tomorrow and Another World. He had guest roles on Cheers, Murphy Brown, Spenser: For Hire and Matlock.

His voice acting career took off with Batman: The Animated Series, which debuted on September 5, 1992. Conroy’s association with the Dark Knight would continue with Batman Beyond and Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, Batman: the Killing Joke, Batman: Gotham Knight, Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman.

“Kevin was a brilliant actor,” Hamill said in his statement. “For several generations, he has been the definitive Batman. It was one of those perfect scenarios where they got the exact right guy for the exact right part, and the world was better for it. His rhythms and subtleties, tones and delivery – that all also helped inform my performance. He was the ideal partner – it was such a complementary, creative experience. I couldn’t have done it without him. He will always be my Batman.”

Conroy is survived by his husband Vaughn C. Williams, sister Trisha Conroy, and brother Tom Conroy.

Chris Farley: A List Of Unfinished Projects By Former Actor And Comedian

This week, we turn our attention to Chris Farley, the beloved comedy actor who took Second City, Saturday Night Live, and the movie industry by storm before dying a tragic death at the hands of drugs at the age of 33 in 1997. Throughout his career, Farley was tied to some pretty big movie projects that he didn’t get to follow through on, including starring in a sunnier version of The Cable Guy, portraying Ignatius J. Reilly in the “cursed” movie version of the novel A Confederacy of Dunces, and voicing the titular talking ogre in Shrek.  It’s heartbreaking that Chris Farley was taken from us when he was so young, but by examining the projects he was working on just prior to his death, we can get a feel for where his career might have taken him, had tragedy not struck.

The Cable Guy (1996)

The role: The Cable Guy

Who got it: Jim Carrey

Chris Farley had a two-picture deal with Paramount that was about to run out by the time Tommy Boy was released in 1995 and became a surprise hit. With the contract close to ending, it sent the studio scrambling to get him in another movie. Farley and his representatives had just sold The Cable Guy to another studio with him attached to the lead role, but the folks at Paramount rushed a script for Black Sheep, which would once again pair him with David Spade, into development in hopes of scoring another hit. The studio had a script written and put the movie together quickly, which made it so Farley would have to turn down The Cable Guy. Simultaneously, the Cable Guy script got sent to Jim Carrey – who was on top of the world in 1995 with a recent string of hits under his belt – leading the other studio to lose interest in Farley. Carrey, Ben Stiller, and Judd Apatow were brought on to work on The Cable Guy and turned it into a dark comedy, which is very different from what the Farley version would have been.

Kingpin (1996)

The role: Ishmael

Who got it: Randy Quaid

Doug Robinson, Chris Farley’s agent, recalls in Tom Farley’s biography The Chris Farley Show that Farley was being considered to play Ishmael the Amish kid in the Farrelly Brothers’ bowling comedy Kingpin. Unfortunately, Farley’s deal with Paramount and the resulting production of Black Sheep forced him away from this project too.

BASEketball (1998)

The role: Joe Cooper

Who got it: Trey Parker

Farley turned down the lead role in David Zucker’s sports comedy BASEketball, according to Brian Cogan’s book Deconstructing South Park. After Farley passed on the project, Zucker went to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, whose show South Park had just become a major hit. Parker and Stone asked that the script be rewritten to reflect their raunchier sensibilities and the duo had a lot of input on the movie’s writing process, which made it very different from what the Chris Farley version of BASEketball would have been.

Shrek (2001)

The role: Shrek

Who got it: Mike Myers

Chris Farley was hired to voice the ogre Shrek in the childrens’ movie of the same name in 1997. In The Chris Farley Show, Shrek writer Terry Rossio recalls, “For me, Chris’s comedic person was key to the creation of the Shrek character – a guy who rejected the world because the world rejected him.” This early version of Shrek was much different from the one we know now. According to a Jim Hill Media piece, “It was about a teenage ogre who wasn’t all that eager to go into the family business. You see, young Shrek didn’t really want to frighten people. He longed to make friends, help people. This ogre actually dreamed of becoming a knight.” Everyone involved in the film speaks fondly Farley’s recording sessions for Shrek, calling it one of his greatest performances. Rossio remembers, “The recording sessions were essentially everyone in the booth rolling off our chairs onto the floor, laughing our asses off.” Director Andrew Adamson said about the sessions:

“It didn’t make the final film, but at one stage there was a moment in the script where Shrek was walking along, singing ‘Feeling Groovy,’ Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Fifty-ninth Street Bridge’ song. Chris was just so into it. When we were recording, I kind of got the impression that he wasn’t sure whether he was supposed to be doing a comedic take on the song or a sincere, heartfelt one. He was singing and putting himself out there in a way that was very touching. It made me see the longing in him to do something more genuine with his career. It made me feel bad, because we were in fact asking for a ‘funny’ version. But that he was willing to give it to us, even though he was so vulnerable about it, made it a very sad and touching moment.”

Chris Farley had finished 80-90% of his recording sessions at the time of his death (or 95%, according to his brother Tom), working up until a week prior to his passing. There was talk of having a Farley impersonator record the last portions but that plan was scrapped. Adamson recalls, “We spent almost a year banging our heads against the wall until Mike Myers was able to come onboard. Chris’s Shrek and Mike’s Shrek are really two completely different characters, as much as Chris and Mike are two completely different people.” Myers asked that the script be completely rewritten so that he wouldn’t be starring in the Chris Farley version of the film. After recording a good chunk of his dialogue, Myers decided he wanted to re-record it in a Scottish accent, which cost the studio $4-5 million to re-animate Shrek’s lip sync and other expenses, but it proved to be worth it and DreamWorks made that money back hundreds of times over.

The Superfans movie (unfilmed)

The role: Todd O’Connor

In the wake of Wayne’s World becoming a surprise blockbuster, Hollywood started greenlighting SNL movies right and left, hoping to find the next Wayne’s World. Robert Smigel left his job as Conan O’Brien’s head writer in 1994 to pen a movie version of the “Bill Swerski’s Superfans” sketches, which starred Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Smigel, and guest George Wendt as a quartet of Chicago sports fans who popularized the catchphrase “Da Bears.” Bob Odenkirk served as Smigel’s co-writer on the movie, which, according to an A.V. Club interview with Smigel, followed the Superfans coming into conflict with a businessman with no appreciation of sports who buys the Bears’ stadium and turns it into a luxury stadium for the rich. Smigel and Odenkirk were eyeing Martin Short to play the businessman, named Burton Kimkington. After a scathing review of SNL’s 94-95 season in New York magazine, NBC put a stop to the development of all SNL spin-off movies. Another major roadblock in the way of the film was that, after Tommy Boy hit, Chris Farley’s representatives didn’t want him starring in an ensemble comedy.

Ghostbusters III: Hellbent (unfilmed)

Dan Aykroyd originally wrote the script for the third Ghostbusters movie (an updated version of which is still in development) in the mid-90s. The plot for Ghostbusters III: Hellbent concerned our favorite paranormal exterminators being transported into a version of Hell that resembles Manhattan. The idea was later used in a recent Ghostbusters video game. The movie also called for the Ghostbusters to pass the torch to a new generation. In a recent interview, Ghostbusters writer and star Harold Ramis explained, “Here’s how old the rumors are: Chris Farley was one of the rumors. It was going to be Chris Farley, Ben Stiller and Chris Rock.”

Atuk (unfilmed)

The role: Atuk

Famous for being a cursed movie in Hollywood, Atuk was writer Tod Carroll’s adaptation of Canadian author Mordecai Richler’s book The Incomporable Atuk, which told the story of an Eskimo warrior struggling to adapt to life in New York. According to The LA Times, the project passed through the hands of John Belushi, Sam Kinison, John Candy, and Chris Farley, with all of them dying tragic deaths shortly after reading the script. The Times reports that Farley was about to accept the role at the time of his death. Tod Carroll says he doesn’t believe these curse rumors because, you know, curses are silly.

A Confederacy of Dunces (unfilmed)

The role: Ignatius J. Reilly

Another “cursed” project, the movie adaptation of John Kennedy Toole’s novel A Confederacy of Dunces has been in development since the early ‘80s, with many of the people who almost starred in Atuk (see above) also being attached to this one too before dying tragically young (or surviving). According to Slate, John Belushi was about to sign on to star for director Harold Ramis when he died, and John Candy and Chris Farley were each considered for the part before passing away. Confederacy of Dunces almost got made with Will Ferrell starring and David Gordon Green directing in 2005, but the project was shut down for mysterious reasons and everyone survived. Now, it looks like Zach Galifianakis is the latest person to be cast in the role, but don’t expect to see this movie hit theaters anytime soon, as it’ll probably take another 30 years to actually get made.

A Fatty Arbuckle biopic (unfilmed)

The role: Fatty Arbuckle

In 1997, Chris Farley began planning his first dramatic film, a biopic about silent film star Fatty Arbuckle, a heavyset actor who was falsely accused of manslaughter and rape in a highly-publicized trial before dying young of a heart attack. Farley met with playwright David Mamet, who agreed to write the movie. Farley’s manager Bernie Brillstein remembers meeting with Mamet in The Chris Farley Show:

“Chris came to the meeting at a little restaurant down in the Village, and he was the good Chris, the well-behaved Chris, because he couldn’t believe that David Mamet even wanted to meet him. Mamet loved him. It was a great meeting. He said yes before we got up from the table, and he wrote it for Chris. To this day, I know that it would have changed his career.”

Farley’s brother Tom remembers, “As soon as he heard little bits and pieces about Arbuckle’s life, he said, ‘This is me.’ It was the whole idea that nobody understands the real person underneath. ‘I’m going to tell them about the real Fatty Arbuckle, and maybe they’ll understand the real Chris Farley.’” The project got slowed down by Hollywood’s sluggish development process and, sadly, never came together before Chris Farley passed away.

The Alleged Real Life Story Of DreamWorks Shrek

Voiced by Mike Myers, Shrek is the reluctant hero of the 2001 fairy tale comedy of the same name, which was based on a children's book by William Steig about a brutish ogre with a distinctive look. Although Dreamworks, the production company behind Shrek, has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, many believe that Shrek was inspired by a French wrestler from the 1930s and '40s named Maurice Tillet. You have to admit, it is kind of uncanny.

The French Angel

Maurice Tillet was born in 1903 in Russia to French parents who soon moved back to France to raise their son. By all accounts, he had a relatively normal childhood with no major health issues. In fact, he had such a cherubic face that he earned the nickname "The French Angel " in the course of his wrestling career, but wrestling wasn't always Tillet's dream. He initially hoped to become a lawyer. That all changed, however, shortly after his 20th birthday.

     data-auto-format="mcrspv"
     data-full-width="">
 

Tillet And Acromegaly

As he entered his twenties, Tillet started to notice unusual swelling in his hands, feet, and head. When the issue persisted, Tillet sought medical attention, and after running a battery of tests, the doctor gave Tillet a chilling diagnosis: He had acromegaly.

What Is Acromegaly?

Acromegaly is a medical condition that causes a benign tumor to grow on the pituitary gland in the brain. The tumor causes the pituitary gland to release excess amounts of growth hormones, which means the tremendous growth spurts that a person experiences in childhood continue unabated into adulthood in patients with acromegaly. People who suffer from acromegaly are much larger than the average adult, with bones that thicken as they lengthen. The bones in their hands, feet, and face are affected the most. As you can imagine, this greatly alters the appearance of the patient.

No Longer An Angel Face

As his acromegaly progressed, Maurice Tillet's once angelic face drastically changed. His jaw took on a square shape as it grew, protruding slightly, and his entire face broadened. His skull elongated until his ears appeared out of place. His hands and feet were gigantic, and he had to relearn how to navigate the world with giant mitts and clumsy feet.

     data-auto-format="mcrspv"
     data-full-width="">
 

The Wrestler

As he grew disillusioned by his diagnosis—a career in the legal profession was right out—Tillet made the acquaintance of a professional wrestler from Lithuania named Karl Pojello in 1937. Pojello was impressed by Tillet's powerful build and persuaded him to become a wrestler, even moving to Paris to train him. Tillet found moderate success as a professional wrestler in France and England until the outbreak of World War II, when he immigrated to America.

The Champ

In the early 1940s in Boston, Tillet connected with wrestling promoter Paul Bowser, and it was here where he truly flourished as a wrestler. He maintained an undefeated winning streak for more than a year and a half, holding the title of AWA World Heavyweight Champion from 1940–1942. He even inspired a slew of imitators: The Irish Angel, Russian Angel, Czech Angel, Canadian Angel, etc. Only one of them—Paul Olaffsen, the Swedish Angel—also suffered from acromegaly.

     data-auto-format="mcrspv"
     data-full-width="">
 

An Early Demise

Unfortunately, as with nearly all acromegaly patients, Tillet's condition cut his life short. At the age of 51, his heart and vascular system could no longer keep up with the demands of his oversize frame, and he died of cardiovascular disease on September 4, 1954 in Chicago. A few years before his death, however, Tillet allowed a Chicago-area sculptor named Louis Linck to craft several plaster busts of his face to both commemorate his wrestling career and document the effects of acromegaly. One of Linck's busts of Tillet is currently housed at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago.

     data-full-width="">
 

Does Shrek Resemble Tillet?

From these busts and photos taken of Tillet during his life, it's clear that he bears more than a passing resemblance to the lovable ogre, from the protruding jaw to the lopsided grin to the minuscule and misplaced ears. Still, there is no concrete proof that Shrek's appearance was based on Tillet. It could simply be a coincidence.

Other Acromegaly Sufferers

After all, it's not like Tillet was the only high-profile figure who suffered from acromegaly. Although the disorder is rare, its effects result in such striking features that those who suffer from it often use their appearance to make money (and often have no other choice). Andre the Giant, a fellow professional wrestler and actor best remembered for his role as the cuddly brute Fezzick in The Princess Bride, also suffered from acromegaly. Other performers afflicted with the disorder include the 6'9" Ted Cassidy, who played Lurch in The Addams Family , and Richard Keil, who played the villain Jaws in the James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Shrek's appearance could have been influenced by any or none of these men, and although it might be a dubious honor to inspire a literal ogre, he does have a way with the ladies (not unlike Andre the Giant himself ).

The Story Of The Ugliest Woman In The World To Gave Up Her Dignity To Feed Her Children

(You can now share on Facebook)

A Difficult Fate

A loving mother would do anything for her children, and Mary Ann Webster (Bevan after marriage) isn’t an exception to this rule: she wasn’t afraid to become an object of ridicule or show her unusual appearance. She had a goal — to feed her children by doing whatever it took. Mary had to overcome cruelty, mocking, and insults from people who wanted to see “the ugliest woman in the world.”

Mary’s life was pretty ordinary. She was born in London to a large and rather poor family. She had to start working very early and was a nurse in a hospital. Mary was a very attractive lady who dreamed about having a big family herself. Her dream came true: at the age of 29, she got married to Thomas Bevan and gave birth to 4 children.

Later, Mary started experiencing health problems: she suffered from migraines and muscle and joint pain. Doctors couldn’t understand what was going on. But she barely had time to focus on her health since her family needed her.

The Disease Reveals Itself

Mary started suffering from another symptom: abnormal facial growth and distortion, which led to her “homely” appearance. The young Mrs. Bevan turned into a creature who only slightly resembled a woman.

     data-ad-slot="7259572561"
     data-auto-format="mcrspv"
     data-full-width="">
 

This disease is called acromegaly, a neuroendocrine disorder that results in an excess amount of growth hormones in the body, which leads to bone, internal organ, and soft tissue enlargement. The disease is often accompanied by headaches and muscle pain. In most cases, acromegaly occurs due to a benign tumor, known as a pituitary adenoma.

Today, doctors can cure this disease successfully, but at the beginning of the 20th century, Mary was in a desperate situation. Each day, she saw her beauty fade away.

An Unpleasant Title And A Check

Mr. Bevan always supported his wife and stood by her side, but his destiny had its own plans. After 11 years of marriage, he died, and Mary became a widow with children and almost no money.

After her husband’s death, Mary accepted any job she could get to try to feed and care for her children. However, she wasn’t offered a good job because of her appearance and people in the streets used to insult her and make fun of her. So, each work day was a challenge.

Things were getting worse and worse until Mary found out that there was something called The World’s Ugliest Woman contest. So she decided to take part in it since the prize was a really big sum of money. She managed to win the contest, but the mass media started writing unpleasant articles about her, and it was really hard for her to read them.

     type="adsense"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-2656328684472327"
     data-ad-slot="7259572561"
     data-auto-format="mcrspv"
     data-full-width="">
 

But Mary turned her situation into a stable income. By the way, this contest is still popular in England, but they put the emphasis on frowning now.

Circus And Freak Show Performances

In 1920, she was invited to work in the US and appear in Coney Island’s Dreamland show. She took part in these performances where she had to demonstrate her appearance by wearing certain clothing items that highlighted her unattractiveness and masculinity.

There were other people with unusual features in these shows too: a bearded woman, dwarfs, giants, and Siamese twins — they all were freaks who had to make people laugh or feel like they had seen something unusual.

The audience really liked these cruel shows and Mary was one of the most popular actresses in her group. We only can assume how difficult it was for her to be an object of ridicule. But she overcame all of her challenges for the sake of her children.

She spent most of the remainder of her life in a circus. She had a chance to return to Europe only once, in 1925, when she visited Paris where she took part in an exhibition.

     data-full-width="">
 

Unfortunately, most people who suffer from acromegaly don’t live very long. Mary died in 1933, at the age of 59. Before she died, she asked her children to bury her in England. This difficult destiny of a loving mother proves that anyone who’s brave enough can nail it.

Of course, we may say she that didn’t have a choice and that it was her only chance, but she wasn’t afraid to use this chance and she turned her disease into a source of income. We don’t know what would happen if she wasn’t sick. We probably wouldn’t know anything about her.
