Sumatran Orangutan-Critically Endangered
Born: June 11, 1992
San Diego Zoo
Karen made medical & veterinary history in 1994 when she was the first orangutan to undergo open-heart surgery. When she was 2 years old it was noted that she was not growing at an appropriate rate. Her health check revealed a penny-size hole in her heart. At the time her weight was 22 pounds and her condition was considered fatal without surgical intervention. A surgical team from UCSD Medical Center in San Diego volunteered their time along side Zoo veterinary staff. A world-famous cardiothoracic surgeon led the team during the 7 hour procedure. More than 100 people including surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, respiratory therapists, nurses, and lab specialists volunteered their time to help this young ape. The surgery made headlines and Karen received get-well cards from around the world. Now, at the age of 27, Karen continues to live and thrive at the San Diego Zoo. If you visit you can recognize her by her signature move rolling across the habitat.

St Cecilia's, Cardiothoracic Unit, Mater Hospital Dublin. 15th February 2014 the final days in the old Mater building before moving to its new unit.
..... at a sugar peony.
Part wired, part unwired and with a mix of cutter shaped petals and hand cut petals, as I wasn't overly impressed with the petal shape the cutters produced. And before you all excitedly jump to conclusions ..... I am saying nothing, except that I have always wanted to try one and I have two birthday cakes to do before the wedding cake ........
I apologise for my absence on flickr this past week but it has been a very traumatic one for all of us.
For those of you not in the know, poor Ben's father suffered a massive heart attack last Tuesday out of the blue and had to have immediate emergency extensive heart surgery. As "luck" would have it it, he was taken straight to the UK's leading cardiothoracic hospital and had the country's leading cardiac surgeon operate on him. The surgery went well but he has had a very rocky post-op recovery and only started to regain consciousness yesterday, almost a week after surgery !
He is still in intensive care but today they took him off the ventilator and although he can't yet speak (his throat is too sore) he is able to communicate with hand gestures and apparently his sense of humour is very much intact !!!
As you can imagine, all wedding plans have been very much on hold but hopefully now things can get back on track again, as he is last making progress and the big day is still just under a month away.
To those of you who did know ...... my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your positive thoughts and prayers. We are all so grateful, it was a great comfort to everyone ....... and the outcome has been wonderful.
Thank you all so much ! xxx

The most beautiful women in TV and Movie History now become Barbie Collector Dolls created by acclaimed re-paint Artist Donna Brinkley.
Jacquelyn (Jaclyn) Ellen Smith has been known as the world's Most Beautiful Woman, she was born in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Margaret Ellen and Jack Smith, a dentist. She attended Trinity University in San Antonio.
After college, Smith moved to New York City with hopes of dancing with the ballet. Her career aspirations shifted to modeling and acting as she found work in television commercials and print ads, including one for Listerene mouthwash. She landed a job as a Breck girl for Breck Shampoo in 1971, and a few years later joined another popular model/actress, Farrah Fawcett, as a spokesmodel for Wella Balsam shampoo.
Charlie's Angels
On March 21, 1976, Smith first played Kelly Garrett in Charlie's Angels; the show was aired as a movie of the week, starring Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett (billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors) as private investigators for Townsend Associates, a detective agency run by a reclusive multi-millionaire whom the women had never met. Voiced by John Forsythe, the Charles Townsend character presented cases and dispensed advice via a speakerphone to his core team of three female employees, to whom he referred as Angels. They were aided in the office and occasionally in the field by two male associates, played by character actors David Doyle and David Ogden Stiers. The program earned a huge Nielsen rating, causing the network to air it a second time and okay production for a series, with all of the principal characters save the one played by Stiers. The series formally debuted on September 22, 1976, and ran for five seasons. The show would become a smash success not only in the U.S. but, in successive years, in syndication around the world, spawning a cottage industry of peripheral products, particularly in the show's first three seasons, including several series of bubble gum cards, two sets of fashion dolls, numerous posters, puzzles, and school supplies, novelizations of episodes, toy vans, and a board game, all featuring Smith's likeness. The Angels also appeared on the covers of magazines around the world, from countless fan magazines to TV Guide (four times) to Time Magazine.
Fawcett departed at the end of the first season, and Cheryl Ladd was a successful addition to the cast, remaining until the end of the series. Jackson departed at the end of the third season, and proved harder to replace, as first Shelley Hack and then Tanya Roberts were brought in to try re-igniting the chemistry, media attention and ratings success enjoyed by the earlier teams. Smith played her role for all five seasons of Charlie's Angels until 1981, also portraying the Garrett character in a guest appearance in the 1977 pilot episode of The San Pedro Beach Bums, and in a cameo in the 2003 feature film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Christina Chambers portrayed Smith in the television film Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels.
Smith's first acting venture outside the Angels mold was the CBS-TV movie of the week Escape from Bogen County (1977). Then came a leading role in Joyce Haber's The Users with Tony Curtis and John Forsythe in 1978. In 1980, Smith starred with Robert Mitchum in the suspense thriller Nightkill. She then starred in the title role of the television movie Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in 1981, receiving a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her performance but lost to Jane Seymour. In 1983, Smith starred as Jennifer Parker in the TV movie Rage of Angels, based on the novel by Sidney Sheldon. The film was the highest rated in the Nielsen ratings the week it aired. Smith reprised the role in the 1986 sequel, Rage of Angels: The Story Continues.
In 1988, she appeared with Robert Wagner in Windmills of the Gods. That same year she was offered the chance to star opposite Richard Chamberlain in the adaptation of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity. Smith was Chamberlain's first choice as his leading lady but she had just wrapped up with the Windmills of the Gods shoot and declined the part. The role was offered to Lesley-Anne Down who wanted her husband to photograph the film. Producers refused and again offered the role to Smith, who then accepted.
In 1989, Smith starred in Settle the Score. This film again proved her Nielsen ratings clout. Other television movies and miniseries in which Smith appeared include George Washington, The Night They Saved Christmas, Florence Nightingale, Sentimental Journey, Lies Before Kisses, The Rape of Dr. Willis, In the Arms of a Killer, and several TV versions of Danielle Steel novels, including Kaleidoscope and Family Album. Smith starred in the 1985 feature film Deja Vu, which was directed by her then-husband Tony Richmond. In 1989, she played the title role in Christine Cromwell, a mystery television series based in San Francisco, but which only lasted one season. That same year, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
From 2002 to 2004, Smith had a recurring role as Vanessa Cavanaugh in the TV series The District, which starred Craig T. Nelson. She reprised her role as Kelly Garrett for a short cameo in the 2003 Charlie's Angels feature film. Her appearance at the 2006 Emmy telecast led Bravo TV’s producers to cast Smith as the celebrity host of Bravo’s weekly competitive reality series, Shear Genius, which began airing in March 2007. Shear Genius (Season 2) began airing on June 25, 2008.
In March 2010, Smith returned to acting after a five year absence with a guest role on the NBC television drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. In February 2012, it was announced that Smith would be guest-starring on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, as the mother of David Hodges (played by Wallace Langham).
In 1985, Smith entered the business world with the introduction of her collection of women's apparel for Kmart. She pioneered the concept of celebrities developing their own brands rather than merely endorsing others. A season 15 episode of The Simpsons (The Fat and the Furries) lampooned Smith's many business successes, portraying her as having her own line of axe heads. In May 2009, Smith allowed a documentary crew to profile her home life, design philosophy and relationship with Kmart in an online video series sponsored by Kmart. Her foray into home furnishings was extended to Kmart stores in the fall of 2008, with the chain's introduction of its Jaclyn Smith Today product line of bedding and bath accessories.
Smith has been married four times. Her first marriage was to actor Roger Davis (1968–1975). She married Dennis Cole, an actor who had appeared on Charlie's Angels in 1977 and 1978. Cole appeared on the show two more times before the couple divorced in 1981. Cole's son from a previous marriage, Joe Cole, with whom Smith had maintained a relationship after her divorce from his father, was murdered in 1991 during a robbery; the case remains unsolved. Smith married filmmaker Tony Richmond in 1981, with whom she had two children, Gaston (born 1982) and Spencer Margaret (born 1985), before divorcing Richmond in 1989. Smith has been married to Houston cardiothoracic surgeon[12] Brad Allen since 1997.
Smith battled breast cancer in 2003. In 2010, Smith was featured in 1 a Minute, a documentary about breast cancer.
On September 22, 2009, TMZ.com picked up a Honduran newspaper's false online report that Smith had been hospitalized in a private medical center there; TMZ later retracted the story, reporting that Smith was well and at home in California. Smith posted on her Twitter page, denouncing the Honduran newspaper story as false— Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie.
* A number of style mavens and magazine polls have attested to Smith's popularity and declared her one of the most beautiful women in the world. The difficult-to-please Mr. Blackwell once named her "The World's Best Dressed Woman". In 1979, McCall's ran a poll of "Whose Face Most Women Would Like To Have"; Smith topped the list. Smith has had more #1 acting projects than any other actress in Hollywood, and she has often been called the "Queen of the miniseries".
* In 1985, McCall's named her as one of "America's 10 Best Bodies;. People named Smith twice in its annual list of the Most Beautiful People in the World In the April 1984 issue of People, Smith was voted as one of the Ten Great Faces of Our Time. In 1985, Ladies' Home Journal sampled 2,000 men and women in 100 different locations in the United States to determine America's Favorite Women; Smith came in the top of the list as the Most Beautiful Woman in America, with actress Linda Evans coming in second. TV Guide magazine readers voted Smith as the Most Beautiful Woman On Television in 1991.
* Comic strip artist Sy Barry modeled the luscious Diana Palmer, wife of The Phantom, after Smith.
* The French band Air was inspired by Smith's Charlie's Angels character Kelly Garrett to record the song Kelly Watch the Stars for their critically acclaimed 1998 album Moon Safari, and the track was released as a single.
In 2012 beauty critics around the world voted Jaclyn Smith as the Most Beautiful Woman of all time along side Grace Kelly.
B & W Glossy Photograph of "Chris Barnard" with his wife Barbara Zoellner - they had two children: Frederick (born 1972) and Christiaan Jr. (born 1974).
Christiaan Neethling Barnard (8 November 1922 – 2 September 2001) was a South African cardiac surgeon who performed the world's first human-to-human heart transplant operation. On 3 December 1967, Barnard transplanted the heart of accident victim Denise Darvall into the chest of 54-year-old Louis Washkansky, who regained full consciousness and was able to talk easily with his wife, before dying 18 days later of pneumonia, largely brought on by the anti-rejection drugs that suppressed his immune system. Barnard had told Mr. and Mrs. Washkansky that the operation had an 80% chance of success, an assessment which has been criticized as misleading. Barnard's second transplant patient, Philip Blaiberg, whose operation was performed at the beginning of 1968, returned home from the hospital and lived for a year and a half.
Born in Beaufort West, Cape Province, Barnard studied medicine and practiced for several years in his native South Africa. As a young doctor experimenting on dogs, Barnard developed a remedy for the infant defect of intestinal atresia. His technique saved the lives of ten babies in Cape Town and was adopted by surgeons in Britain and the United States. In 1955, he travelled to the United States and was initially assigned further gastrointestinal work by Owen Harding Wangensteen at the University of Minnesota. He was introduced to the heart-lung machine, and Barnard was allowed to transfer to the service run by open heart surgery pioneer Walt Lillehei. Upon returning to South Africa in 1958, Barnard was appointed head of the Department of Experimental Surgery at the Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town.
He retired as head of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery in Cape Town in 1983 after rheumatoid arthritis in his hands ended his surgical career. He became interested in anti-aging research, and in 1986 his reputation suffered when he promoted Glycel, an expensive "anti-aging" skin cream, whose approval was withdrawn by the United States Food and Drug Administration soon thereafter. During his remaining years, he established the Christiaan Barnard Foundation, dedicated to helping underprivileged children throughout the world. He died in 2001 at the age of 78 in Paphos, Cyprus after an asthma attack.

In May 2009, Smith allowed a documentary crew to profile her home life, design philosophy and relationship with Kmart in an online video series sponsored by Kmart. Her foray into home furnishings was extended to Kmart stores in the fall of 2008, with the chain's introduction of its Jaclyn Smith Today product line of bedding and bath accessories.

Charlie's Angels
On March 21, 1976, Smith first played Kelly Garrett in Charlie's Angels; the show was aired as a movie of the week, starring Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett (billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors) as private investigators for Townsend Associates, a detective agency run by a reclusive multi-millionaire whom the women had never met. Voiced by John Forsythe, the Charles Townsend character presented cases and dispensed advice via a speakerphone to his core team of three female employees, to whom he referred as Angels. They were aided in the office and occasionally in the field by two male associates, played by character actors David Doyle and David Ogden Stiers. The program earned a huge Nielsen rating, causing the network to air it a second time and okay production for a series, with all of the principal characters save the one played by Stiers. The series formally debuted on September 22, 1976, and ran for five seasons. The show would become a smash success not only in the U.S. but, in successive years, in syndication around the world, spawning a cottage industry of peripheral products, particularly in the show's first three seasons, including several series of bubble gum cards, two sets of fashion dolls, numerous posters, puzzles, and school supplies, novelizations of episodes, toy vans, and a board game, all featuring Smith's likeness. The Angels also appeared on the covers of magazines around the world, from countless fan magazines to TV Guide (four times) to Time Magazine.
Fawcett departed at the end of the first season, and Cheryl Ladd was a successful addition to the cast, remaining until the end of the series. Jackson departed at the end of the third season, and proved harder to replace, as first Shelley Hack and then Tanya Roberts were brought in to try re-igniting the chemistry, media attention and ratings success enjoyed by the earlier teams. Smith played her role for all five seasons of Charlie's Angels until 1981, also portraying the Garrett character in a guest appearance in the 1977 pilot episode of The San Pedro Beach Bums, and in a cameo in the 2003 feature film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Christina Chambers portrayed Smith in the television film Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels.
Smith's first acting venture outside the Angels mold was the CBS-TV movie of the week Escape from Bogen County (1977). Then came a leading role in Joyce Haber's The Users with Tony Curtis and John Forsythe in 1978. In 1980, Smith starred with Robert Mitchum in the suspense thriller Nightkill. She then starred in the title role of the television movie Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in 1981, receiving a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her performance but lost to Jane Seymour. In 1983, Smith starred as Jennifer Parker in the TV movie Rage of Angels, based on the novel by Sidney Sheldon. The film was the highest rated in the Nielsen ratings the week it aired. Smith reprised the role in the 1986 sequel, Rage of Angels: The Story Continues.
In 1988, she appeared with Robert Wagner in Windmills of the Gods. That same year she was offered the chance to star opposite Richard Chamberlain in the adaptation of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity. Smith was Chamberlain's first choice as his leading lady but she had just wrapped up with the Windmills of the Gods shoot and declined the part. The role was offered to Lesley-Anne Down who wanted her husband to photograph the film. Producers refused and again offered the role to Smith, who then accepted.
In 1989, Smith starred in Settle the Score. This film again proved her Nielsen ratings clout. Other television movies and miniseries in which Smith appeared include George Washington, The Night They Saved Christmas, Florence Nightingale, Sentimental Journey, Lies Before Kisses, The Rape of Dr. Willis, In the Arms of a Killer, and several TV versions of Danielle Steel novels, including Kaleidoscope and Family Album.

Dave, July 22, 2002 after our wedding.
What on earth is Marfan's, you ask?
It's a treatable, but incurable, ultimately fatal, genetic disease that affects your connective tissues. It's one of thousands of similar heritable diseases, so it can frequently be mistaken for other problems.
People with Marfan's are typically very tall (Dave was 6'7"), and their arm span will be longer than they are tall, Dave's arm span was closer to seven feet! Until the early 2000s there was no genetic test for the mutation (it's a mutation of JUST ONE gene!), and as far as I know, there is still only one lab that will do the test.
The tests have therefore always been physical, if you have certain physical indicators, such as the arm span, a high hard palate, certain bone deformities, if you have a certain # of these physical markers they would treat you as if you had the disease. Conversely, you can have some of the markers but not the mutation (Michael Phelps has some of the markers but not the disease, he is therefore considered a Marfanoid; all patients with Marfan's are Marfanoids, not all Marfanoids have Marfan's).
A quick test of the average person with Marfan's is this: make a "sissy" fist, with your thumb inside your fingers? The average person's thumb will be totally enveloped in their fist. A person with Marfan's? Their thumb, without forcing it, will extend well beyond their fist.
It affects any of your connective tissues (muscle striates and tears very easily), and very seriously affects your heart. But, it can cause other things, including the fact that your lungs can spontaneously collapse (!), your lenses will frequently be dislocated, causing eye problems, including blindness in some cases. A person with Marfan's can have a concave or a "pigeon" chest (or appear normal).
My husband, like most Marfan's patients, was most seriously affected in his heart, and went undiagnosed most of his life due to misinformation and his doctors not having enough knowledge about the disease. His father had the disease, so while Dave was tall, his family physician wrote it off, said "Dave's healthy as a horse," and he thought that the disease skipped generations. It does NOT skip generations, though children will have a 50/50 chance of inheriting it. (The disease can also occur spontaneously in families with no history.)
In July of 2004, the weekend of my 25th birthday actually, Dave came down with severe chest pains while working out. He benched over 300 regularly; he had an entire routine. He thought he had strained something or pulled a muscle while doing military presses, and wrote it off. The next day it was still there. He said it was stress. We fought over him going to the ER for several days.
He finally went to the ER (this is the very abridged version) where I met him and they immediately started running tests on him, as you know, they don't screw around with chest pains. The first nurse listened to his chest for a second or two, her eyes got gigantic, and she ran for another nurse. We watched as a stream of every nurse in the ER, and most of the doctors, came in to listen to his chest, each shaking their head in disbelief. Turns out his unusual heartbeat, that you could hear sitting next to him in a quiet room, sounded unusual because he had a very pronounced heart murmur. (How the hell was I to know?)
The first dr. who really looked at Dave touched his face, looked him over, asked how tall he was, and had Dave do the fist test I mentioned above. The dr. said, "Well, do you know you have Marfan's?" Which of course he didn't, but it made sense. The dr. said he had no way of knowing 100% but that Dave physically was very likely to have it. Dave spent the rest of the day undergoing tests, where we found out he had an enlarged heart, a failed aortic valve, and an aortic aneurysm larger than a grapefruit.
If you make a fist, and then put your thumb up, it's a fair representation of your heart. Your heart would be about the size of your fist, and your ascending aorta would be about the size of your thumb. Dave's heart was not only about 40% larger than it should have been, when they discovered what was wrong, his ascending aorta was more than 9cm. That's INSANE. His aorta was actually slightly larger than his heart. He needed surgery to replace the aorta and the valve or he would be dead in a matter of days, maybe sooner. Once the aorta ruptures or tears, death is not only painful but extremely quick.
Dave was transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, where a very enthusiastic, AMAZING surgeon named Dr. Anthony Discipio took over his case. Dave's heart stopped the night before the surgery in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. They got him going again, and he had his surgery the following morning. The surgery took around 12 hours, including complications. I was alone at the hospital during his surgery. After replacing the aorta with a poly-dacron artificial aorta, and the valve with an artificial, carbon-fiber valve (the size of a silver dollar no less, the biggest they make), they took him off the bypass machine. Dave started to bleed-out on the table. They had to put him back on the machine, they had to essentially redo part of the surgery, and he received platelets for the blood loss.
We discovered later that Dave had also suffered some minor strokes during the surgery, which manifested over the following months in a loss of balance and coordination, he had some color blindness issues afterwords, and he also lost a good portion of his short-term memory. This caused all sorts of interesting things to occur, I tell you!
We spent 15 days in the hospital between Concord and DHMC. He was home for two weeks before developing a secondary lung infection, which put him back in Concord for nearly another week. The cost of the operating room, not the surgeon, not the anesthesiologist, not the nurses, nothing else, just the cost of the ROOM for the day, was over $74,000. I won't tell you what the final bills were, but let's say that it's been four years, and after many many phone calls getting rid of the majority of his bills, I was still left with a heavy financial burden and have been paying off over $40,000 in debt he left me with. (And his car payment, which was in my name, and various other surprises, most quite nasty.)
After taking care of Dave from July 2004, our marriage got progressively worse. We had agreed to get a divorce on my 25th birthday actually, but then he got sick, so I stayed. I foolishly thought it might save us if he saw how committed I was. Instead, he took to really resenting me and having to rely on me. I moved out Thanksgiving, 2005, and we spent the holidays happier than we'd ever been, we spent Christmas Eve together, we had a lovely few hours, I left crying as he told me he loved me. The night of January 11th I spoke to Dave, as did one of his brothers, and apparently one of several of his girlfriends. I was supposed to visit on the 12th. On the 12th he would have Bri for the night, and I was going over to get some of my things and see her for her birthday and spend some time with him. When we hung up, the last thing he said was that he loved me and he wanted to work things out. I told him I thought it was too late for that, that he'd had years to figure it out. He told me things would be different, he cried, and he hung up.
The morning of the 12th I was at my office when the phone rang, and I recognized the voice, but couldn't quite place it. She said, "Jenna?" then I heard her cover the receiver and say, "Oh my god, she's still at work, she doesn't know," and then pick up the phone again; I knew then it was Dave's step mother's mother, Kay. She said, "Jenna, I don't know how to tell you this, but Dave is gone. They found him this morning." I actually thought he'd committed suicide at first. I don't remember a lot else about that morning, I remember screaming WHAT THE FUCK and dropping the phone, I remember my coworker Amy running downstairs from the office above to see what was wrong, I remember someone telling my dad what was happening. I remember the chief of Police of Wolfeboro walking into the office to break the news to me, and realizing I must have heard already.
Dave didn't go to work that morning, and his boss, concerned, had the police do a courtesy check, where they found Dave in his bed, TV on, laptop on his lap, empty 6 pack at his side. Sometime during the night his heart had slowed, and not been able to get going again. He fell asleep and never woke up.
There is a moderately humorous note in here. Dave's step brother is named Dave. My Dave was named David King, his stepbrother is David Densmore. When Dave and I had signed the lease on our apartment, we had to list next of kin on our forms, and couldn't use each other, in case we both died in a fire or from carbon monoxide poisoning. I used my parents, he used his step-mom, Mickey King. So when the management company had to contact someone, the contacted her, instead of me. She was called into an office at work where two officers sat her down and said, "We are so sorry to tell you this, but your son has passed away." The proceeded to tell her that it appeared to be his heart. This makes sense, as Dave Densmore has some minor health issues as well. But when they said they found him in bed, Mickey was confused, as her son Dave would be at work. The police said, "Is your son David King?" And she said "No! My son is David Densmore! David King is my step-son!" So for a few minutes there, Mickey thought her son was the one we'd lost that day. (Note to all: don't marry people who have kids with the same name as your own kids!)
That was one hell of a tangent, but that's sort of how Marfan's came into my life and changed every morning that I wake up since July 13th, 2004. Only now I can't call Dave or ask him questions or email him or anything...he's just gone. He died four days after his daughter, my step daughter, turned 13. The only positive thing to come from his loss is that I now consider her mother a friend of mine, as things had been rocky at best when Dave was alive.
Other notable people with Marfan's have included Joey Ramone (who actually died from cancer though), they believe King Tut's father had the disease, character actor Vincent Schiavelli had Marfan's and was very active in the National Marfan's Foundation, and a name most people my age will know: Jonathan Larson. Jonathan Larson wrote the Tony Award Winning musical RENT. The day RENT opened, Jonathan Larson died from a ruptured aortic aneurysm in his NYC apartment.
Marfan's frequently affects young athletes, who because of their height, play sports like basketball and one day will be playing, and their Marfan's which is undiagnosed due to the lack of anyone's knowledge about the disease, will kill them on the court. Michael Phelps might not have been able to touch the wall in that one race milliseconds before his competitor if his arms hadn't been slightly longer...who knows.
The fact is, roughly 1 in 10,000 people are walking around with this disease, and many will never know. Cassandra and Nancyjean Paris , friends of mine from high school, lost their little brother to this disease unexpectedly, too. That's a few people from our school who have been directly affected by a loss from this disease, and we didn't have a very large school. Just something to think about.
Last year, on the anniversary of Dave's death, I went on a local radio station, played five of Dave's favorite songs, or songs that meant a lot to us both, and spread the word about Marfan's to anyone who would listen. Every year I try to do a little something, if just one person learns a little bit about it, I've done something worthwhile. And every year I find myself missing Dave just as much as I did before.

The most beautiful women in TV and Movie History now become Barbie Collector Dolls created by acclaimed re-paint Artist Donna Brinkley.
Jacquelyn (Jaclyn) Ellen Smith has been known as the world's Most Beautiful Woman, she was born in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Margaret Ellen and Jack Smith, a dentist. She attended Trinity University in San Antonio.
After college, Smith moved to New York City with hopes of dancing with the ballet. Her career aspirations shifted to modeling and acting as she found work in television commercials and print ads, including one for Listerene mouthwash. She landed a job as a Breck girl for Breck Shampoo in 1971, and a few years later joined another popular model/actress, Farrah Fawcett, as a spokesmodel for Wella Balsam shampoo.
Charlie's Angels
On March 21, 1976, Smith first played Kelly Garrett in Charlie's Angels; the show was aired as a movie of the week, starring Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett (billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors) as private investigators for Townsend Associates, a detective agency run by a reclusive multi-millionaire whom the women had never met. Voiced by John Forsythe, the Charles Townsend character presented cases and dispensed advice via a speakerphone to his core team of three female employees, to whom he referred as Angels. They were aided in the office and occasionally in the field by two male associates, played by character actors David Doyle and David Ogden Stiers. The program earned a huge Nielsen rating, causing the network to air it a second time and okay production for a series, with all of the principal characters save the one played by Stiers. The series formally debuted on September 22, 1976, and ran for five seasons. The show would become a smash success not only in the U.S. but, in successive years, in syndication around the world, spawning a cottage industry of peripheral products, particularly in the show's first three seasons, including several series of bubble gum cards, two sets of fashion dolls, numerous posters, puzzles, and school supplies, novelizations of episodes, toy vans, and a board game, all featuring Smith's likeness. The Angels also appeared on the covers of magazines around the world, from countless fan magazines to TV Guide (four times) to Time Magazine.
Fawcett departed at the end of the first season, and Cheryl Ladd was a successful addition to the cast, remaining until the end of the series. Jackson departed at the end of the third season, and proved harder to replace, as first Shelley Hack and then Tanya Roberts were brought in to try re-igniting the chemistry, media attention and ratings success enjoyed by the earlier teams. Smith played her role for all five seasons of Charlie's Angels until 1981, also portraying the Garrett character in a guest appearance in the 1977 pilot episode of The San Pedro Beach Bums, and in a cameo in the 2003 feature film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Christina Chambers portrayed Smith in the television film Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels.
Smith's first acting venture outside the Angels mold was the CBS-TV movie of the week Escape from Bogen County (1977). Then came a leading role in Joyce Haber's The Users with Tony Curtis and John Forsythe in 1978. In 1980, Smith starred with Robert Mitchum in the suspense thriller Nightkill. She then starred in the title role of the television movie Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in 1981, receiving a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her performance but lost to Jane Seymour. In 1983, Smith starred as Jennifer Parker in the TV movie Rage of Angels, based on the novel by Sidney Sheldon. The film was the highest rated in the Nielsen ratings the week it aired. Smith reprised the role in the 1986 sequel, Rage of Angels: The Story Continues.
In 1988, she appeared with Robert Wagner in Windmills of the Gods. That same year she was offered the chance to star opposite Richard Chamberlain in the adaptation of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity. Smith was Chamberlain's first choice as his leading lady but she had just wrapped up with the Windmills of the Gods shoot and declined the part. The role was offered to Lesley-Anne Down who wanted her husband to photograph the film. Producers refused and again offered the role to Smith, who then accepted.
In 1989, Smith starred in Settle the Score. This film again proved her Nielsen ratings clout. Other television movies and miniseries in which Smith appeared include George Washington, The Night They Saved Christmas, Florence Nightingale, Sentimental Journey, Lies Before Kisses, The Rape of Dr. Willis, In the Arms of a Killer, and several TV versions of Danielle Steel novels, including Kaleidoscope and Family Album. Smith starred in the 1985 feature film Deja Vu, which was directed by her then-husband Tony Richmond. In 1989, she played the title role in Christine Cromwell, a mystery television series based in San Francisco, but which only lasted one season. That same year, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
From 2002 to 2004, Smith had a recurring role as Vanessa Cavanaugh in the TV series The District, which starred Craig T. Nelson. She reprised her role as Kelly Garrett for a short cameo in the 2003 Charlie's Angels feature film. Her appearance at the 2006 Emmy telecast led Bravo TV’s producers to cast Smith as the celebrity host of Bravo’s weekly competitive reality series, Shear Genius, which began airing in March 2007. Shear Genius (Season 2) began airing on June 25, 2008.
In March 2010, Smith returned to acting after a five year absence with a guest role on the NBC television drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. In February 2012, it was announced that Smith would be guest-starring on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, as the mother of David Hodges (played by Wallace Langham).
In 1985, Smith entered the business world with the introduction of her collection of women's apparel for Kmart. She pioneered the concept of celebrities developing their own brands rather than merely endorsing others. A season 15 episode of The Simpsons (The Fat and the Furries) lampooned Smith's many business successes, portraying her as having her own line of axe heads. In May 2009, Smith allowed a documentary crew to profile her home life, design philosophy and relationship with Kmart in an online video series sponsored by Kmart. Her foray into home furnishings was extended to Kmart stores in the fall of 2008, with the chain's introduction of its Jaclyn Smith Today product line of bedding and bath accessories.
Smith has been married four times. Her first marriage was to actor Roger Davis (1968–1975). She married Dennis Cole, an actor who had appeared on Charlie's Angels in 1977 and 1978. Cole appeared on the show two more times before the couple divorced in 1981. Cole's son from a previous marriage, Joe Cole, with whom Smith had maintained a relationship after her divorce from his father, was murdered in 1991 during a robbery; the case remains unsolved. Smith married filmmaker Tony Richmond in 1981, with whom she had two children, Gaston (born 1982) and Spencer Margaret (born 1985), before divorcing Richmond in 1989. Smith has been married to Houston cardiothoracic surgeon[12] Brad Allen since 1997.
Smith battled breast cancer in 2003. In 2010, Smith was featured in 1 a Minute, a documentary about breast cancer.
On September 22, 2009, TMZ.com picked up a Honduran newspaper's false online report that Smith had been hospitalized in a private medical center there; TMZ later retracted the story, reporting that Smith was well and at home in California. Smith posted on her Twitter page, denouncing the Honduran newspaper story as false— Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie.
* A number of style mavens and magazine polls have attested to Smith's popularity and declared her one of the most beautiful women in the world. The difficult-to-please Mr. Blackwell once named her "The World's Best Dressed Woman". In 1979, McCall's ran a poll of "Whose Face Most Women Would Like To Have"; Smith topped the list. Smith has had more #1 acting projects than any other actress in Hollywood, and she has often been called the "Queen of the miniseries".
* In 1985, McCall's named her as one of "America's 10 Best Bodies;. People named Smith twice in its annual list of the Most Beautiful People in the World In the April 1984 issue of People, Smith was voted as one of the Ten Great Faces of Our Time. In 1985, Ladies' Home Journal sampled 2,000 men and women in 100 different locations in the United States to determine America's Favorite Women; Smith came in the top of the list as the Most Beautiful Woman in America, with actress Linda Evans coming in second. TV Guide magazine readers voted Smith as the Most Beautiful Woman On Television in 1991.
* Comic strip artist Sy Barry modeled the luscious Diana Palmer, wife of The Phantom, after Smith.
* The French band Air was inspired by Smith's Charlie's Angels character Kelly Garrett to record the song Kelly Watch the Stars for their critically acclaimed 1998 album Moon Safari, and the track was released as a single.
In 2012 beauty critics around the world voted Jaclyn Smith as the Most Beautiful Woman of all time along side Grace Kelly.

Charlie's Angels
On March 21, 1976, Smith first played Kelly Garrett in Charlie's Angels; the show was aired as a movie of the week, starring Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett (billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors) as private investigators for Townsend Associates, a detective agency run by a reclusive multi-millionaire whom the women had never met. Voiced by John Forsythe, the Charles Townsend character presented cases and dispensed advice via a speakerphone to his core team of three female employees, to whom he referred as Angels. They were aided in the office and occasionally in the field by two male associates, played by character actors David Doyle and David Ogden Stiers. The program earned a huge Nielsen rating, causing the network to air it a second time and okay production for a series, with all of the principal characters save the one played by Stiers. The series formally debuted on September 22, 1976, and ran for five seasons. The show would become a smash success not only in the U.S. but, in successive years, in syndication around the world, spawning a cottage industry of peripheral products, particularly in the show's first three seasons, including several series of bubble gum cards, two sets of fashion dolls, numerous posters, puzzles, and school supplies, novelizations of episodes, toy vans, and a board game, all featuring Smith's likeness. The Angels also appeared on the covers of magazines around the world, from countless fan magazines to TV Guide (four times) to Time Magazine.
Fawcett departed at the end of the first season, and Cheryl Ladd was a successful addition to the cast, remaining until the end of the series. Jackson departed at the end of the third season, and proved harder to replace, as first Shelley Hack and then Tanya Roberts were brought in to try re-igniting the chemistry, media attention and ratings success enjoyed by the earlier teams. Smith played her role for all five seasons of Charlie's Angels until 1981, also portraying the Garrett character in a guest appearance in the 1977 pilot episode of The San Pedro Beach Bums, and in a cameo in the 2003 feature film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Christina Chambers portrayed Smith in the television film Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels.
Smith's first acting venture outside the Angels mold was the CBS-TV movie of the week Escape from Bogen County (1977). Then came a leading role in Joyce Haber's The Users with Tony Curtis and John Forsythe in 1978. In 1980, Smith starred with Robert Mitchum in the suspense thriller Nightkill. She then starred in the title role of the television movie Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in 1981, receiving a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her performance but lost to Jane Seymour. In 1983, Smith starred as Jennifer Parker in the TV movie Rage of Angels, based on the novel by Sidney Sheldon. The film was the highest rated in the Nielsen ratings the week it aired. Smith reprised the role in the 1986 sequel, Rage of Angels: The Story Continues.
In 1988, she appeared with Robert Wagner in Windmills of the Gods. That same year she was offered the chance to star opposite Richard Chamberlain in the adaptation of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity. Smith was Chamberlain's first choice as his leading lady but she had just wrapped up with the Windmills of the Gods shoot and declined the part. The role was offered to Lesley-Anne Down who wanted her husband to photograph the film. Producers refused and again offered the role to Smith, who then accepted.
In 1989, Smith starred in Settle the Score. This film again proved her Nielsen ratings clout. Other television movies and miniseries in which Smith appeared include George Washington, The Night They Saved Christmas, Florence Nightingale, Sentimental Journey, Lies Before Kisses, The Rape of Dr. Willis, In the Arms of a Killer, and several TV versions of Danielle Steel novels, including Kaleidoscope and Family Album. Smith starred in the 1985 feature film Deja Vu, which was directed by her then-husband Tony Richmond. In 1989, she played the title role in Christine Cromwell, a mystery television series based in San Francisco, but which only lasted one season. That same year, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
From 2002 to 2004, Smith had a recurring role as Vanessa Cavanaugh in the TV series The District, which starred Craig T. Nelson. She reprised her role as Kelly Garrett for a short cameo in the 2003 Charlie's Angels feature film. Her appearance at the 2006 Emmy telecast led Bravo TV’s producers to cast Smith as the celebrity host of Bravo’s weekly competitive reality series, Shear Genius, which began airing in March 2007. Shear Genius (Season 2) began airing on June 25, 2008.
In March 2010, Smith returned to acting after a five year absence with a guest role on the NBC television drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. In February 2012, it was announced that Smith would be guest-starring on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, as the mother of David Hodges (played by Wallace Langham).
In 1985, Smith entered the business world with the introduction of her collection of women's apparel for Kmart. She pioneered the concept of celebrities developing their own brands rather than merely endorsing others. A season 15 episode of The Simpsons (The Fat and the Furries) lampooned Smith's many business successes, portraying her as having her own line of axe heads. In May 2009, Smith allowed a documentary crew to profile her home life, design philosophy and relationship with Kmart in an online video series sponsored by Kmart. Her foray into home furnishings was extended to Kmart stores in the fall of 2008, with the chain's introduction of its Jaclyn Smith Today product line of bedding and bath accessories.
Smith has been married four times. Her first marriage was to actor Roger Davis (1968–1975). She married Dennis Cole, an actor who had appeared on Charlie's Angels in 1977 and 1978. Cole appeared on the show two more times before the couple divorced in 1981. Cole's son from a previous marriage, Joe Cole, with whom Smith had maintained a relationship after her divorce from his father, was murdered in 1991 during a robbery; the case remains unsolved. Smith married filmmaker Tony Richmond in 1981, with whom she had two children, Gaston (born 1982) and Spencer Margaret (born 1985), before divorcing Richmond in 1989. Smith has been married to Houston cardiothoracic surgeon[12] Brad Allen since 1997.
Smith battled breast cancer in 2003. In 2010, Smith was featured in 1 a Minute, a documentary about breast cancer.
On September 22, 2009, TMZ.com picked up a Honduran newspaper's false online report that Smith had been hospitalized in a private medical center there; TMZ later retracted the story, reporting that Smith was well and at home in California. Smith posted on her Twitter page, denouncing the Honduran newspaper story as false— Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie.

Five years ago, I lost my husband. I met Dave when I was 16, and I loved him from the moment I saw him. He will always remain in my mind as one of the hottest men I've ever met, and the fact he dug me in the slightest is still an ego boost, nearly 16 years later. By the time I was 18, it was all over, and he was mine. (It had nothing to do with being legal, either! In NH the age of consent is 16, haha.) For over eight years we had ups and downs, and many of you know just how down some of those downs were, but the good times were always so indescribably fantastic that they were worth sticking around for.
The summer I turned 25, right before his 33rd birthday, he was diagnosed with Marfan's. It's a rare connective tissue disease - it's genetic, and affects roughly 1 in 10,000 people. Many don't know they have it. Luckily, people know more about this disease now than ever before. Dave's amazing cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Anthony Discipio, of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, was fascinated by Marfan's, and couldn't wait to take on Dave's case. Last year, he emailed me, and told me how sorry he had been to hear the news we had lost Dave. I googled the kind doctor, and have seen that he too does his part to educate the world about Marfan's, its symptoms, and its quirks, and its indicators. I try my hardest to educate others every chance I get. I'm one little voice, but if you've met me, you know I know how to work it. :)
I'll never forget the words, "I don't know how to tell you this, but they found Dave this morning." Dave had only made it 17 months from his diagnosis and marathon open heart surgery. I was 26 years old. And I lost the best friend I'd ever had.
I still resent that I can't call him and ask him questions, and I am terrified that if I forget something about him, it's gone forever, as we were the only two people in the world who shared that particular memory. I hate that his daughter turned 18 this weekend, and he wasn't there. I hate that he hasn't visited me in Portland and met my dogs. We wouldn't be together today as husband and wife - that's another story entirely - but you don't spend your whole adult life with someone and then walk away forever. He was the first man I loved, the first man who broke my heart, and I will love him and miss him the rest of my life. It's just inconceivable that he's really gone. I still have fantasies sometimes that he's going to ring my doorbell, that it's all been some extreme lie and cover up, that somehow he's still out there and I just can't comprehend why he's not talking to any of us.
I also still see him sometimes. Out of the corner of my eye, a glimpse in a mirror, and whatever your feelings about "ghosts" - who knows - maybe they're just super intense memories of the way a person smelled, felt, sounded, the energy they held in a room - I've known on more than one occasion that he's been with me, even if it is just a lonely projection of how it felt to be with him. I keep some of his ashes in his flask. I am terrified of the day I give his trademark leather jacket to his daughter (later I will - I am afraid of some loser college boyfriend absconding with it) and the hole it will leave in my closet. I am terrified of the day his sweatshirt that I have in a bag doesn't smell like him and his cologne anymore. I had a panic attack and a big, big cry this past year when I took his ashes to a funeral home to have a locket made, and they "cleaned" the flask for me. It had his fingerprints on it. I didn't even think to tell them to leave it alone. I screamed at my father once, for grabbing a 98% empty bottle of Southern Comfort from my refrigerator, because it was the bottle we shared on our last Christmas eve; I now know better than to keep it where others can get it. I miss our inside jokes. I miss making fun of each other. I miss our weekends - driving in the car for hours, sharing a bag of french onion Sun Chips and diet Pepsi from a soda fountain. I miss working on his motorcycles together, or the old '66 Ford pick up. I miss making fun of people together. And going to concerts together. I miss turning each other on to new music, and sometimes in the car a song will make me cry, not because it's one he loved, but because it's one that has come out since he died, and I think how much he would have loved it.
What you can't quite see here is that I am 5'2"ish, I was maybe 95 pounds when this photo was taken, and Dave was 6'7" and maybe 225 pounds. The sweater I am wearing was one of his, that he shrunk. He sucked SO BAD at laundry, well before I moved in with him, that I finally took laundry over as one of my chores (after he ruined a very dear to me sweater - a beautiful old Jantzen a friend's mother had given me - by the time he was done with it, it wouldn't have fit my cat). So that sweater had been his once, and it fit me when he was finished washing it. If I didn't stretch the arms and the body, it would have been too short, even for me. We were in the kitchen of our first apartment together, with certifiably the world's worst wall paper. The hideous balloon curtain in the bedroom behind us came with the joint, too. Someone had a wallpaper fetish, and it wasn't us. But we loved that house, and I still picture us at that table whenever I see it sitting in my step daughter's mother's basement, where it now doubles as a craft surface. He was trying out the remote on the camera I'd gotten him, and old Fujifilm Discovery 320 35mm point and shoot. I still have that camera, actually.
I still have that Murphy's Law shirt.
What I don't have is Dave.

The Postcard
An aerial high-definition shot of Harefield Hospital on a postcard with photography by Aerofilms Ltd. London.
The card was posted on Wednesday the 1st. July 1970 to a recipient in Ravensdale Road, Hounslow. What the recipient read over 40 years ago was as follows:
"Dear Lily,
Charles is over the operation
and is keeping up best he can.
They seem to be satisfied so far,
and I hope he will be out of
intensive care soon.
When he is I shall be back".
Aerofilms Ltd.
Aerofilms Ltd was the UK's first commercial aerial photography company, founded in 1919 by Francis Wills and Claude Graham-White.
Wills had served as an Observer with the Royal Naval Air Service during World War I.
He was the driving force behind the expansion of the company from an office and a bathroom (for developing films) in Hendon to a business with major contracts in Africa and Asia as well as in the UK.
Co-founder Graham-White was a pioneer aviator who had achieved fame by making the first night flight in 1910.
Harefield Hospital
The site on which the hospital stands was originally the private parkland of Harefield Park House. Soon after the beginning of the Great War, its Australian owner offered the estate as a convalescent centre for injured Australians and New Zealanders.
A series of inter-connected wooden huts were built in the grounds, and during the course of the war the facility expanded into a hospital, ultimately treating around 50,000 injured servicemen and women. It was known as the No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital.
Every year St. Mary's Church in Harefield village holds an ANZAC day service in remembrance of the servicemen who died in the hospital during the Great War. Over a hundred soldiers of the First Australian Imperial Force are buried in the churchyard.
After the Great War the land was sold to Middlesex County Council which had been looking for a suitable place for a sanatorium to treat TB - a dangerous and prevalent illness at the time.
Harefield was chosen because, as one of the highest points in Middlesex, 290 feet above sea level, the site had plenty of fresh air and sunlight.
In the Second World War, Harefield dealt with war casualties. Sir Alexander Fleming spent some time there during the war studying the effects of penicillin on TB and other infections.
After the war, Harefield became a general hospital, and, following on from its experience with TB, later developed expertise in cardio-thoracic surgery.
Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub and his team did pioneering work in the late 60's on transferring human heart valves. In 1983 he carried out the world's first heart/lung transplant, and in 1984 he performed a heart transplant on a baby less than a month old.
The hospital is set in glorious grounds of 47 acres (19 ha) which include tennis courts, a wood and a creek.
