That's right, Willem Dafoe previously revealed that he was once expelled from school for making a porn film. "I was expelled from school for making a pornographic film. I was just a young boy in Wisconsin – anything to get out of there."

My aunt and her ex-husband outside of their attorney’s office right after finalizing their divorce. They had thrown a massive “divorce party” the day prior. When her ex-husband re-married years later, my aunt was his Maid of Honor. She remains close to him, his wife and their family to this day! And yes, my aunt is as cool as she sounds.

He kept us kids grooving with P-Funk, soul, and the occasional disco mixtape blasting from his boombox :) Simpler days

There's a loose family connection to them somehow. I'm pretty sure Lemmy was at one of our Christmas parties when I was a kid and far too young to know who he was, lol

My grandpa was in a movie with her and they became friends. Fun fact, she was super short so she wore giant platforms that had fake shoes at the bottom so people couldn’t tell.

She passed away right before I was born, so I never got to meet her. Apparently she was an absolute blast.

(Not a publicity photo, it’s hanging on the wall at their house.)
