The 'Aunt May' of an entire generation turns 99 today! 🎉🎂
For millions of Spider-Man fans, Rosemary Harris will forever be Aunt May, the warm, resilient heart of Sam Raimi’s trilogy. Her quiet scenes with Peter Parker gave the superhero films some of their most human moments, making her version of May beloved long after the trilogy ended.
But Harris was already a celebrated actress decades before entering Peter Parker’s world. Her career stretches back to the 1950s, with a Tony-winning stage legacy, acclaimed television work, and an Academy Award-nominated performance in Tom & Viv.
Some of her memorable roles include:
May Parker / Aunt May (Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 / Spider-Man 3)
Rose Haigh-Wood (Tom & Viv)
Berta Palitz Weiss (Holocaust)
George Sand (Notorious Woman)
Pauline Swift (Crossing Delancey)
Minerva Chisholm (The Chisholms)
Mrs. Ramsay (To the Lighthouse)
Valerie Sors (Sunshine)
Player Queen (Hamlet)
Annie’s Granny (The Gift)
Nana Foster (This Means War)
Happy 99th birthday, Rosemary Harris! Aunt May introduced her to a whole new generation, but behind that beloved performance stands one of the remarkable long careers of stage and screen, spanning more than seven decades. 🎂❤️
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
A Chinese court has ruled it illegal to replace human workers with AI purely for the sake of cost-cutting.
The court decided that companies hold a social responsibility to treat workers fairly and pay them what they're worth.
@sandyN7777@RepShriThanedar Iran is no threat to America you fo*l, I'm sick of you israel firsters, why do we have to pay double to fund Israel's stupid wars, GTFO with this nonsense, they got money for war but can't feed the poor, fools.
New York City’s Mayor just said what most elected officials won’t.
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”
Mamdani didn’t stop there.
Thousands of civilians killed. Tens of billions spent. And every program that gets called “unrealistic” — housing, healthcare, schools — costs a fraction of what this war has already burned through.
He’s right.
