Dorothy Sebastian
Sebastian was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, the daughter of Lycurgus (Lawrence) Robert and Stella Armstrong Sabiston. After leaving Alabama and starting a career on the stage, she changed the spelling of her name to Sebastian.
Before appearing in films, Sebastian performed onstage in the musical revue, George White's Scandals. Her first contact in Hollywood was Robert Kane, who gave her a film test at United Studios. She co-starred with Joan Crawford and Anita Page in a popular series of MGM romantic dramas, including Our Dancing Daughters (1928) and Our Blushing Brides (1930). Sebastian appeared in 1929's Spite Marriage, where she was cast opposite the then-married Buster Keaton, with whom she began an affair.
By the mid-1930s, Sebastian was semi-retired from acting after marrying Hopalong Cassidy star William Boyd. After their 1936 divorce, she returned to acting appearing in mostly bit parts. Her last onscreen appearance was in the 1948 film The Miracle of the Bells.
Songwriting
Sebastian co-wrote the ballad "The Leaves Mustn't Fall" with Jack Kenney. Moon Mullican recorded it in 1950 and 1958, and it has become a bluegrass standard.
Born: Stella Dorothy Sabiston, April 26, 1903

[NYPOST] More than a ton of cocaine headed for the Big Apple was found stashed in metal lawn rollers when authorities recently busted a trio of narcos, officials said Tuesday.Authorities said the 920 kilograms of coke represents the biggest seizure of cocaine destined for New York City in more than a decade.
"A multimillion-dollar storm of cocaine was seized before it could wreak havoc in the Northeast," DEA Special Agent in Charge Ray Donovan said in a statement.
"This seizure signifies a shift in the illegal drug landscape in New York with cocaine seizures rising more than 150% in the last year."
Suspected drug pushers Jorge Aponte-Guzman, Nelson Agramonte-Minaya and Carlos Maisonet-Lopez were busted in September after Aponte-Guzman drove a rental van to a New Jersey loading dock and picked up 460 kilos of blow, prosecutors said.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] At least 19 25 people have been killed with dozens more maimed after explosions and gunfire rocked Afghanistan's biggest military hospital in an apparent ISIS-K suicide kaboom.
Militants entered the 400-bed Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital where they went room to room opening fire and clashed with Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... security forces, witnesses said.
Photos from inside the hospital showed the blood-spattered floor of the children's ward after the attack which has left at least 50 people maimed.
A Taliban official said all assailants had now been killed.
They added: 'The attack was initiated by a jacket wallah on a cycle of violence who went kaboom! at the entrance of the hospital.'
The Taliban's rivals, the Islamic State group, claimed responsibility for the gun and bomb assault in the centre of the capital.
Islamic State-Khorasan (ISIS-K) said in a statement on its Telegram channels that 'five Islamic State group fighters carried out simultaneous coordinated attacks' on the sprawling site.
The previous death toll was set at nineteen, but the latest reports suggest at least 25 people have been killed.
'Nineteen dead bodies and about 50 maimed people have been taken to hospitals in Kabul,' a health ministry official who asked not to be named told AFP earlier today.
Italian aid group Emergency, which runs a trauma hospital said nine maimed had been brought in so far.
Photographs shared by residents showed a plume of smoke over the area of the blasts near the former diplomatic zone in the Wazir Akbar Khan area in central Kabul.
But the official Bakhtar news agency quoted witnesses saying a number of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... fighters entered the hospital.
'I am inside the hospital. I heard a big explosion coming from the first checkpoint. We were told to go to safe rooms. I also hear guns firing,' a doctor at the Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital in Kabul told AFP.
'I can still hear gun firing inside the hospital building. I think the attackers are going from room to room... like the first time it was attacked,' the doctor added.
A Taliban media spokesman confirmed two explosions hit the hospital area on Tuesday.
'One explosion has happened at the gate of the military hospital and a second somewhere near the hospital, this is our initial information, we will provide more details later,' he told AFP.
Qari Saeed Khosty, a spokesman for the interior ministry, said Taliban special forces had rushed to the scene to secure the area after 'a bomb' exploded.
AFP journalists heard a second blast followed by gunfire.
ISIS have claimed four mass casualty attacks since the Taliban takeover on August 15, including suicide kabooms targeting Shiite Moslem mosques. It regards Shiite Moslems as heretics.
In the 2017 attack on the military hospital, holy warriors went room to room killing people, switching to knives when they ran out of ammunition.
That attack was claimed by the Islamic State group, and the Taliban denied responsibility.
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... survivors told AFP that the attackers chanted 'Long live Taliban' in Pashto and attacked all but two wards on the hospital's first floor where Taliban patients were admitted.
The attack was carried out by three attackers on Sardar Muhammad Daud Khan hospital which is a military hospital and is run by the ministry of defense.
First, an explosion carried out by a suicide attacker happened at the gate of the hospital and then two gunmen entered the hospital.
A few minutes later, a second explosion was heard which was by another suicide bomber inside the hospital.
Eyewitnesses say that the gunman and the Taliban fighter were involved in gunfire inside the hospital took three hours.

I wonder if the Taliban leaders trying to play the "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Game with DC's war on ISIS terrorism.
[Aljazeera] A UN joint investigation into alleged atrocities in Ethiopia found all sides committed grave abuses that may amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes in the yearlong war in the Tigray region. OR it could just be a Cultural Thang™. Who are we to judge?
The report, a collaboration by the UN human rights office with the government-created Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC), was released on Wednesday as the country enters a new state of emergency with rival Tigray forces threatening to advance on the capital, Addis Ababa.
More than 1,300 rapes were reported to authorities, with many more likely to have been unreported.
Michelle Bachelet, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said the Tigray conflict has been marked by "extreme brutality".
"Civilians in Tigray have been subjected to brutal violence and suffering," Bachelet said in a press conference on Wednesday.
"The joint investigation team has covered numerous violations and abuses including unlawful killings and extrajudicial executions, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, violations against refugees and forced displacement of civilians."
The majority of the violations documented between November 2020 and June "appear to have been committed by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces." The UN has since seen an increase in the number of reports of abuses by Tigrayan forces, as well as by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces.
[Garowe] Somalia-based al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... has reportedly set a base in the Mudug region, in what locals say could disrupt operations within the area, which has been enjoying peace and stability for a couple of months.
According to reports, the al-Shabaab Death Eaters established a base at Wisil town in Central Somalia, after many months of fighting with government troops who were based within the town which is considered strategic.
The Death Eaters are yet to make their entry to the town, but they have set a base a few miles outside, in what could trigger a fierce shootout with the government troops both from the federal government and those who are close to the Galmadug administration.
About two months ago, the Death Eaters engaged government and Galmadug troops in a fierce shootout, leading to a temporary seizure of the town. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... the Death Eaters were forced to pull back after a swift response from government forces.
In separate interviews with the media, residents said they are living in fear as an al-Shabaab assault on the town could be imminent. Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... and Federal forces vacated the area early last month in the build-up for the fighting in Guriel with Ahlu Sunna Waljamaa.
Already, the al-Shabaab Death Eaters are in full control of controls Ba'adweyn and Amara towns after it dislodged government forces in September. Authorities in Wisil are yet to respond to claims from locals who are now living in fear.
The Death Eaters are fighting to topple the fragile UN-backed Somalia administration, but concerted efforts by the Somali National Army [SNA] and African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Mission Forces [AMISOM] have led important battles, pushing the Death Eaters out of strategic areas.
For months, the mission troops and SNA soldiers have managed to liberate important towns across Somalia. The Horn of Africa nation is also planning to hold Lower House elections and the presidential polls later on in the coming weeks.
[AlAhram] Gunmen in Nigeria's capital kidnapped six people from the staff quarters of a university, officials said Tuesday. It was the first attack of its kind in Abuja since a wave of school kidnappings began in the country more than a year ago.
The University of Abuja said in a statement on its Facebook page that four staff members and their children were taken by unknown assailants. University employee Murtala Muhammed, who was on campus premises when the abductions happened, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the button men launched their attack around midnight.
``They arrived at the quarters and started shooting and shooting,'' he said.
Police spokesperson Josephine Adeh said security forces have launched a rescue operation.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the kidnappings, but suspicion immediately fell on a suspects who have been blamed for scores of similar abductions for ransom.
Some 1,400 students have been kidnapped during attacks on schools in Nigeria over the past year. Many were later released after reports of large ransoms paid. Until Tuesday, however, all of the attacks took place in more remote locations.
Security experts have told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that most of the kidnappers are former Fulani ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity... herdsmen who became caught up in Nigeria's prolonged conflict between farmers and nomadic cattle herders.
[JPost] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... are watching closely as a key battle in Marib in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... reaches another potential turning point. More than two dozen people were reported killed this week by a Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebel missile attack that struck a mosque and school. The Houthi rebels are backed by Iran. Iran has helped provide them support in missile and drone technology.
Saudi Arabia intervened in Yemen to stop the Houthis from taking over key cities like Aden. Since then Riyadh became bogged down in Yemen supporting the embattled government forces. The UAE, which had once played a role alongside Riyadh, now appears to have taken a different path in Yemen. What this means is that Riyadh could risk watching its Yemen allies lose a key battle on its doorstep in Marib in Yemen.
Marib is several hundred kilometers from the Saudi border but if the rebels take the city it will be a symbolic defeat. We know it is important to Iran because Iran’s Tasnim media is highlighting the battle. The Houthis call this offensive the "spring of victory" and a long article explaining their tactics was published on Monday. The Houthi rebel spokesperson "said that Yemeni army forces, with the help of tribal forces, have carried out successful operations in the provinces of Ma'rib, Shabwa and al-Bayda," Tasnim says. The Houthi "front man announced the liberation of an area of 1,100 square kilometers in the second phase of the Victory Spring liberation operation."
The Houthis claim they are facing tough battles. They claim they had been hit by 159 Saudi Arabia air force air strikes. In turn they have carried out 86 operations against the "invading aircraft." The Houthis claim their missile unit has also carried out 47 operations, 31 of which were inside the occupied territories of Yemen and 16 inside the depths of Saudi Arabia. They openly brag about attacking Saudi Arabia with a total of 141 operations involving Houthi drones. The Houthis acquired drones with Iranian technology. Some reports say Iran has even based drones in Yemen that can reach Israel and can attack tankers in the Gulf of Oman. In July a drone attacked a tanker, killing two people. Israel and the US blamed Iran for the attack.
The Houthis increasingly portray themselves as part of the Iranian alliance system in the region with Hezbollah and Iraqi militias. The Houthis have always been openly antisemitic, their slogan calls for "cursing the Jews." The slogan is "God is Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam." In the recent Tasnim report the Houthis claimed that they were fighting against the "aggressors and occupiers and mercenaries of Washington and Tel Aviv." Clearly they believe their battle against Saudi Arabia is part of their overall war on Israel and the US. Marib is merely a stepping stone.
The Houthi spokesperson said that their forces "were successful in liberating most areas of Ma'rib province and will continue their jihadist duties towards their people and country," Iran’s Tasnim says. In recent fighting some 200 people have been killed. Now the Houthis are warning Marib’s defenders to stop fighting. "The Yemeni war is a complete defeat for the aggressors," the report says. The Houthis say Saudi Arabia's war "criminal and barbaric." They are now driving to complete the siege of Marib and try to strangle the city.
Meanwhile Saudi Arabia and its allies in the Gulf have expelled Leb ...In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial... ’s envoys and have slammed the Lebanese Information Minister who appeared to back the Houthis. The UAE has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon and has said its diplomats left the country. Riyadh wants Hezbollah to stop its slow takeover of Lebanon. Riyadh wants the Hezbollah presence reduced. Iran looks to want to pressure Saudi Arabia in Marib perhaps as part of a much larger ploy to strike at Saudi Arabia from Yemen as Riyadh tries to pressure Hezbollah in Lebanon. That means that Riyadh faces a regional agenda of Iranian threats stretching thousands of kilometers from Yemen via the Gulf of Oman to Kuwait and through Iraq and Albukamal and then through Syria to Lebanon. Israel also sees this arc of threats as a serious concern.
The Saudi-led military coalition backing the government in Yemen said on Tuesday that 115 Houthi rebels were killed in airstrikes around the strategic city of Marib as the insurgents advanced. https://t.co/zB2uXgjWqy
[DW] Hundreds of migrants colonists have set up camp in the northern French port in the hope of eventually making it to Britannia. According to coasties statistics, migrant crossings across the channel have soared in 2021.
Moslem colonists Migrants evicted from makeshift camps in the French city of Calais will be given a place to shelter rather than left to wander the streets, the head of La Belle France's immigration office Didier Leschi said Tuesday.
"We will systematically offer (migrants colonists) accommodation," the envoy told the AFP news agency.
French authorities routinely tear down migrant tents in the northern port city, where hundreds of people are camping under bridges or in the forest as they wait for a chance to cross the English Channel to Britannia.
'NO MORE SURPRISE EVICTIONS'
Leschi told AFP that migrants colonists would now be offered an alternative place to stay — not in Calais but elsewhere in the northern Hauts-de-La Belle France region.
He also said there would be "no more surprise evictions," and that migrants colonists would be given more time —"about 45 minutes" — to gather their possessions.
The announcement came amid a hunger strike by an elderly Calais priest over the way homeless foreigners are treated in the city.
PREVENTING ANOTHER 'JUNGLE'
Calais used to be home to a shantytown known as the "Jungle." Up to 10,000 migrants colonists lived there before police demolished it in 2016.
La Belle France's government is keen to prevent another sprawling camp from popping up in its place.
An estimated 2,000 people, including at least 300 unaccompanied children, were staying in and around encampments in and around Calais in mid-2021, according to humanitarian groups.
HRW: FRENCH POLICE GUILTY OF 'ABUSIVE PRACTICES'
In a report last month, Human Rights Watch accused French police of mistreating migrants colonists by tearing down their tents, forcing them to wander the streets and confiscating their belongings.
"The authorities carry out these abusive practices with the primary purposes of forcing people to move elsewhere, without resolving their migration status or lack of housing, or of deterring new arrivals," it said in the report.
SPIKE IN CHANNEL CROSSINGS Moslem colonists Migrants from the Middle East, Asia and Africa have long used northern La Belle France as a launching point to reach Britannia, either by stowing away in trucks or in small boats organized by people traffickers.
Authorities say migrant camps should be cleared because they are a haven for smugglers who charge exorbitant prices for their services.
According to French coasties statistics, a total of 15,400 people attempted to cross the Channel in the first eight months of this year, an increase of 50% in comparison with the figure for the whole of 2020.
French transport police shot a man armed with a knife shouting “Allahu akbar” at Paris’ Saint-Lazare train station. France remains on the highest security alert following spate of terror attacks & beheadings since 2015 by Muslim extremists. https://t.co/HHMyrHod55
French transport police shot and gravely maimed a man at a Gay Paree railway station who threatened them with a knife while shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) in Arabic, police and prosecutors said on Tuesday.
The man rushed at police just before midnight on Monday at Saint-Lazare, one of the capital's busiest train stations, a police source who asked not to be named told AFP, confirming a report first broadcast on BFM TV.
The source added that the man drew a knife from a bag as he shouted "Allahu Akbar".
"The two officers used their service weapons to defend themselves and neutralise him. The maimed individual was taken care of by the emergency services," said a front man for La Belle France's national rail operator SNCF.
Gay Paree prosecutors told AFP that the man's life was in danger after being shot twice by the transport police, known as Suge in La Belle France.
An investigation has been opened into attempted murder of a public official, incitement to terrorism and violence with a weapon, said the prosecutors.
A source close to the investigation, who asked not to be named, said that the man was not known to the security services.
According to BFMTV, the man also shouted: "La Belle France is ruled by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... The outlet said that the incident began when guards tried to question the man for not wearing a mask.
The man was reportedly hospitalized at death's door with bullet wounds to his torso.
The suspect was not previously known to intelligence services but was known to security services for previous violent mostly peaceful conduct, reports said.

[SPUTNIKNEWS] Alongside demands for the expulsion of the French envoy from Islamabad, the radical Islamist group Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP), has been pressing for the release of its leader, Saad Rizvi, and others. At least five coppers were killed and scores injured in last week's festivities with TLP workers during a weeklong protest march.Implementing a secretive agreement that was reached with protestors on Sunday to end their march to Islamabad, Pakistain's Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Province has released at least 860 workers of the Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) on Tuesday. Details of the agreement have not been made public by the government.
Dawn News reported on Tuesday that government officials had released workers who had been earlier arrested who are not facing formal criminal charges.
The Punjab government has also agreed to withdraw its appeal filed against the release of TLP leader Saad Rizvi in the Lahore High Court. Since April, Rizvi has been detained by the Punjab government after the TLP was declared a proscribed group under an anti-terror law.
Last week, Pakistain's National Security Advisor Moeed W. Yusuf vowed that government would not "allow armed militias" in the country. Warning the workers of the banned Islamist outfit, Yusuf said that the group "has crossed the red line and exhausted the state's patience."
The TLP has been holding protests at regular intervals over Emmanuel Macron's refusal last year to outlaw caricatures of Islam's key religious figure, Mohammed.
The TLP has demanded the closure of the French Embassy in Islamabad since November 2020 after French President Emmanuel Macron defended the publication of caricatures of the religious figure by a satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... , and pledged to fight "Islamist separatism." Responding to fundamentalist violence that followed after publication of the caricature, Macron said: "We know what we have to do...Our fellow citizens are looking for action, and the action is there and we’ll intensify it."
