Hello, I'm Coryphantha, and I've been a Wikipedia editor since May 2018. My main area of interests are American and Latino actors and actresses and the movies they appeared in, specifically the golden age of cinema. They don't make 'em like they used to. I'm also interested in early American comedy TV, laughter is the spice of life. I'm also a big Jack Benny fan, who had a huge influence on modern American comedy, and is the reason I still tell people I'm 39.
Buster Keaton was the original stunt guy, handsome in his own way, and brilliant at planning and producing his own stunts with minimal injuries. If you have time, check out his movie
The General and be sure to watch it to the end.
I've created 18 articles in main space, my favorite among them is
Queta Lavat, and
Raquel Pankowsky as a close second. Ten articles is pretty good, even for a fairly new editor, but I'm certainly not done by a long shot. The future is still an empty slate, dotted with many a new article.
My ideal romantic date would be a dinner at an authentic Mexican restaurant, where my date keeps slipping the Mariachi band twenty dollar bills, so they'll keep playing his requests at our table, the first of which would be
Si Nos Dejan.
Jeremiah Gurney (1812–1895) was an American
daguerreotype photographer. Initially working in the jewelry trade in
Saratoga, New York, he took up photography after learning of daguerreotype from
Samuel Morse, moving to New York City where he began selling photographs alongside jewelry. He was one of the earliest photographers in the city, and may have been the owner of the first photographic gallery in the United States. Gurney took this self-portrait photograph around 1869, now in the collection of the
Minneapolis Institute of Art.Photograph credit:
