CORRECTED: Oscar-nominated 'Midnight Cowboy' actress Sylvia Miles dies in New York
(13 Jun 2019) OSCAR-NOMINATED 'MIDNIGHT COWBOY' ACTRESS SYLVIA MILES DIES IN NEW YORK
In a 12 June about the death of actress Sylvia Miles, The Associated Press reported incorrectly reported the actress' age and that she died in an ambulance on the way to a New York hospital. Miles' niece and a longtime friend say she was 94, and the niece said she was declared dead while at the hospital.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Sylvia Miles, an actress and Manhattan socialite whose brief, scene-stealing appearances in the films ``Midnight Cowboy'' and ``Farewell, My Lovely'' earned her two Academy Award nominations, died Wednesday (12 JUNE 2019).
Miles was declared dead at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, her niece Holly-Jane Rahlens, told The Associated Press. She was 94. The cause was not immediately clear.
Miles was a veteran actress but not a widely known name when she appeared onscreen for about six minutes in 1969's ``Midnight Cowboy.'' In her sole scene, she plays a brassy Manhattan woman who invites an aspiring male prostitute from Texas, played by Jon Voight, up to her penthouse for sex, but ends up taking money from him instead.
``You were going to ask me for money?'' Miles' character, Cass, says as she breaks into increasingly angry mock-tears. ``Who the hell do you think you're dealing with? ... In case you didn't happen to notice it, you big Texas longhorn bull, I'm one hell of a gorgeous chick!''
In 1975's ``Farewell, My Lovely,'' which starred Robert Mitchum as detective Philip Marlowe, her screen time is only slightly longer as a down-on-her-luck entertainer who swaps information for a bottle of booze.
The fleetingly brief roles both got her Oscar nominations.
Her appearances in real life were just as memorable for those who came across her.
``She was pretty much the same person off screen as she was on screen,'' Miles' friend, fashion industry publicist Mauricio Padilha, said. ``She was quite a character.''
Miles was born in, and became a lifelong resident of, Manhattan, where she was married and divorced three times and had no children. She is survived by her older sister, Thelma Rahlens.
Miles studied at The Actors Studio, making her name in a series of Off-Broadway roles starting in the 1950s, and moving on to movies in the 1960s.
Her film credits included 1972's Andy Warhol-produced ``Heat,'' 1987's ``Wall Street'' and its 2010 sequel ``Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,'' and 1988's ``Crossing Delancey.''
Her TV roles included guest appearances on ``Miami Vice,'' ``One Life to Live'' and ``Sex in the City.''
Miles was a competitive chess player, according to the New York Times, which twice featured her in its coverage of the game.
And she went, it seems, to nearly every party in New York for a time, becoming as beloved for her outgoing personality and flamboyant fashion sense than as for her acting.
``She shows up at premieres, screenings, receptions, teas and charity cocktail parties,'' said a 1976 article in People magazine titled, ``What would a Manhattan party be without the ubiquitous Sylvia Miles?''
``I get invited because I'm fun,'' Miles told People at the time. ``I have a good sense of humor. I look good. I'm not bad to have at a party.''
Even after the 9/11 attacks, when the city was in a state of fear and mourning for months, she was quick to start socializing again, attending a Broadway opening just over a week later.

A native of Baltimore, Maryland, John holds a B.F.A. in Theatrical Production and an M.A. in Acting and Directing from the University of Arizona in Tucson.

He continued to perform as the 32nd president over the next nine years for Colonial Williamsburg programming, and now has the honor of bringing FDR to life for more diverse and distant audiences. Though now semi-retired, John works as a writer, consultant, interpreter of persons of the past, and continues to perform in many of the Colonial Williamsburg evening programs.

Exploring Vermont - Fun Day Trip to Burlington Vermont
Welcome back to Simply Paula Jean!
After a small break recuperating from our summer colds and a fun visit from my son's family, we decided to make a small end of the summer day trip to one of our favorite places back when the kids were little.
First stop was at the iconic Al's French Frys in Burlington. Al's has the most famous burgers and fries in all of Vermont. It had been way too long since we had visited. It was well worth the wait!
After lunch, we were off to Shelburne Farm to explore and visit the animals. We even got to feed a few of them! You will definitely want to see it! It was adorable. Tom, Phillip and I also attended a milking demonstration starring the adorable Savannah the cow.
What have you done to celebrate the end of the summer? Are you kids back in school like our daughter Anna? Let me know in the comments!

SUMMARY
=======
Cases of child sexual abuse by Catholic priests, nuns and members of religious orders in the 20th and 21st centuries has been widespread and has led to many allegations, investigations, trials and convictions, as well as revelations about decades of attempts by the Church to cover up reported incidents. The abused include boys and girls, some as young as 3 years old, with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14. The accusations began to receive isolated, sporadic publicity from the late 1980s. Many of these involved cases in which a figure was accused of decades of abuse; such allegations were frequently made by adults or older youths years after the abuse occurred. Cases have also been brought against members of the Catholic hierarchy who covered up sex abuse allegations and moved abusive priests to other parishes, where abuse continued.By the 1990s, the cases began to receive significant media and public attention in some countries, especially in Canada, the United States, Australia and, through a series of television documentaries such as Suffer The Children (UTV, 1994), Ireland. A critical investigation by The Boston Globe in 2002 led to widespread media coverage of the issue in the United States, later dramatized in Tom McCarthy's film Spotlight. Over the last decade, widespread abuse has been exposed in Europe, Australia, Chile, and the USA.
From 2001 to 2010 the Holy See, the central governing body of the Catholic Church, considered sex abuse allegations involving about 3,000 priests dating back fifty years, reflecting worldwide patterns of long-term abuse as well as the Church hierarchy's pattern of regularly covering up reports of abuse. Diocesan officials and academics knowledgeable about the Roman Catholic Church say that sexual abuse by clergy is generally not discussed, and thus is difficult to measure. Members of the Church's hierarchy have argued that media coverage was excessive and disproportionate, and that such abuse also takes place in other religions and institutions, a stance that dismayed critics who saw it as a device to avoid resolving the abuse problem within the Church.In a 2001 apology, John Paul II called sexual abuse within the Church a profound contradiction of the teaching and witness of Jesus Christ. Benedict XVI apologised, met with victims, and spoke of his shame at the evil of abuse, calling for perpetrators to be brought to justice, and denouncing mishandling by church authorities. In 2018, Pope Francis began by accusing victims of fabricating allegations, but by April was apologizing for his tragic error and by August was expressing shame and sorrow for the tragic history, without, however, introducing concrete measures either to prosecute abusers or to help victims.
