Poca gente sabe esto, pero Danny DeVito y su compañera Rhea Perlman compraron los derechos de la película “Matilda” en 1994.

Pues bien, resulta que durante la 1ª semana de rodaje de la película, la madre de la actriz Mara Wilson, la niña que encarnó a Matilda, Suzie, enfermó de cáncer.
Danny y Rhea cuidaron de la niña, mientras su madre estaba hospitalizada, como sus verdaderos padres, preocupándose por la atención y necesidades de Mara, así como llevarla al Hospital a visitar a su madre.

Desgraciadamente, ella falleció antes de que la película llegara a estrenarse en cines, pero algo maravilloso ocurrió.

Años después, en un precioso acto de bondad, se supo que Danny con una copia en VHS, aún no terminada de toda la película, se la llevó a la mamá de Mara para que pudiera verla en el hospital. Y no solo eso. Trás la muerte de ella, cuidaron de Mara siempre, porque no le faltara de nada.

El ser humano es maravilloso por cosas así❤️
¡Viva el cine!🙌😎

The MCU's Coldest Character Transformations...

When Swedish engineer Nils Bohlin invented the three-point seat-belt today in 1959, Volvo made the patent free for all competitors to use in order to save lives because it had more value as a free life-saving tool than something to profit from.

Doesn't sound right... but really interesting contrast!

Every firefighter/EMT/paramedic knows better—but sometimes you just can’t help yourself. You step off the rig, stretch, and mutter, “Hope it’s quiet tonight.”

That’s it. You’ve done it.

Within minutes the insanity begins! Intoxicated patient fell of the curb, multiple fire alarms… at the same facility, another medical, another fire alarm, and you cap off your shift with a nonemergency transport because the patient knows the hospital serves those really good breakfast burritos on Sunday morning. The radio won’t stop. The coffee gets cold. Lesson learned—never tempt the shift gods. Until the next time…

STAY FIRED UP and remember, in many situations, silence is certainly golden: https://t.co/5wY3nIbTvs

Hi, ER Doc, here.

If your nose is bleeding, DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK. This just makes the blood drip down the back of your throat and you will then swallow and/or choke on it. Pinch the soft part of your nose and TILT YOUR HEAD FORWARD. Please tell all your friends about this.

My kids love Handyman Hal. And I love that he's exploring the tools of the trade that first responders use. It's a great familiarity that kids can have when emergencies do happen
