SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

Patrick Stewart, who will be remembered most for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” films, has died at 86.

Con tanta mierda en el día a día,lo mejor es despedir este martes,con un regalo de la naturaleza.
Para lxs que me seguís,para lxs que apostáis por lo público,para lxs que estáis en contra de toda violencia,para lxs que sólo queréis vivir tranquilos.....Gabon😘
aún siguiera aquí. Escucharlas a ellas , es escuchar a mi madre, cuando contaba sus historias de joven. Es sentirme de nuevo, esa niña que se sentaba a escuchar a los mayores. La echo mucho de menos, pero sé que sigue aquí, porque mientras esté en mi recuerdo, no se irá nunca.❤️
Hay veces que necesitas desconectar de todo y volver a tus raíces. Mis raíces están aquí, en un pueblo de Galicia donde queda la familia de mi madre , donde la busco y siempre la encuentro. Está en los recuerdos de todas las personas que la conocieron y que hablan de ella como si
¡DE DOS EN DOS! 🏆🇧🇬🏆
Ane MINTEGI 🇪🇸 vence a Sobolieva por 5-7, 6-4, 6-0 y se lleva el W50 de Burgas. Segundo torneo seguido que se salda con victoria de la vasca en tierras búlgaras.
Además del set abajo, levantó un 0-2 inicial en el segundo para terminar arrasando a su rival. No nos cansamos de decirlo, Ane es mucha Ane en tierra batida con el punto en juego, tiene con qué llegar lejos.
Consigue así su mejor ránking personal y asegura presencia en la qualy del Australian Open 🇦🇺 [Vía @Reinasdeltenis ]
