William Holmes (actor)
William Holmes is an American actor known for '' Daughter of the Sun God'' (1962), ''The Bushwhackers'' (1951), and ''In Old Amarillo'' (1951). Career Holmes, heir to the Fleischmann's Yeast fortune, wanted to be an actor, so his father footed the bill for him to star in the early 1950s film ''Daughter of the Sun God''. The movie was so bad, however, that it took nearly a decade for it to be released. By that time, the actor was already out of the business. In 1950, he acted in the musical ''Careless Rapture'' at the Dudley Hippodrome in Dudley, West Midlands, England, with Barry Sinclair, Mary Allen, Arthur Hosking, Muriel Barron, Joan Norman, and Charles Gillespie in the cast. Louella Parsons wrote that Holmes would have the top role in the film ''Cocobolo'', directed by Henry Herts and produced by Robert Peters. In 1953, Hedda Hopper reported "he has a children's book to be published, and will do a TV adventure series". Personal life Holmes was romantically attached t ...

Divorce Mill
Divorce mill is a term used for a jurisdiction that is typically used for divorces by non-residents and/or used to obtain a divorce quickly and/or allow for contested divorces quickly and with little or no compensation to the other spouse. Examples Until 2006, Guam granted mail order divorces. In 2006 the law was changed to provide that 7 days of physical presence provides residency for divorce when the parties consent to the jurisdiction of the court. While this may confer personal jurisdiction, there remains a number of questions as to the validity of these divorces for the reason that Guam lacks any state interest in the marital affairs of nonresidents beyond the revenue these quickie divorces generate. There are three countries, one US territory, and one US state that could be regarded in this sense. Most of these jurisdictions allow for "irreconcilable differences" divorce without a period of separation, something that is not possible in many places. Legality Domicile ...

Frisco Kid
''Frisco Kid'' is a 1935 film starring James Cagney and directed by Lloyd Bacon. Set in San Francisco in the 1850s, it traces the rise and fall (and possible redemption) of a sailor who achieves wealth and success on San Francisco's Barbary Coast but is spurned by the woman he loves (Margaret Lindsay). The supporting cast also features Ricardo Cortez, Lili Damita, and Barton MacLane. Writing for Turner Classic Movies, Richard Harland Smith observes: “While hewing closely to the crime-shouldn't-pay maxims of the newly minted Production Code, the violence is often disarmingly brutal, with a double hanging late in the film being as disturbing as it is coyly elliptical.” Plot In San Francisco in the 1850s, a city where gold fever has left shipowners short-handed, Bat Morgan, a sailor come ashore, is robbed and nearly shanghaied aboard another ship. Managing to escape, he sticks around town to pay back those responsible and then to take a cut in the action in the vice district. ...
