Can you identify the actress in this photograph?
It’s Rachel Ward, best known for her unforgettable role as Maggie in the iconic film “Singing in the Blackthorns”.
Over forty years ago, Rachel enchanted audiences worldwide with her mesmerizing performances, establishing herself as one of cinema’s most luminous stars.
However, with the passage of time, Rachel’s appearance has naturally transformed, reflecting the inevitable changes that come with aging.
Now 66 years old, Rachel’s look is markedly different, free from the makeup and elaborate hairstyles that characterized her glamour during the dazzling 1980s.
Reactions to her recent photos blend surprise and nostalgic longing, with many fans fondly recalling the days when Rachel’s stunning beauty illuminated the big screen.
While some praise Rachel for embracing the natural aging process without resorting to cosmetic interventions, others express a bittersweet regret over the changes, missing her youthful appearance.
Yet, despite the changes brought by time, Rachel’s performance as Maggie in the cherished film remains vividly remembered, a testament to her remarkable talent and lasting impact on the world of cinema.
What was this for and why a bottom shelf
Most homes built in the early to mid-1900s have a small shelf built into the wall in the kitchen or hallway. If you live in an old house, this may be the case. If you didn’t think much of this, you might have asked yourself why it was there. Yes, there was a reason for putting it there!
A phone niche is what that small shelf is called. People used landlines to talk to each other before cellphones. That seems like a very long time ago now. A lot of homes were built with just one space for the phone. A lot of them had a small shelf or drawer above or below the phone where you could put address or phone books. It seems so old-fashioned to even think about an address book these days!
Most people no longer have landlines and only use cellphones these days. But you can use this phone niche in different ways if your home has one! For decoration, you could buy an old phone and put it there. If you want, you could even use it. It’s big enough to hold books or other home decor items. You could also put a bunch of small plants in pots in the niche. There are many choices, and it’s up to you!
While I love how convenient new homes are, I also love how old homes have little details that make them unique. The house we live in is very old, so old that the idea of a phone niche was a long time away. Does your house have a place for the phone? If so, I’m very envious!
