Jean Peters (October 15, 1926 – October 13, 2000) was an American actress, known as a star of 20th Century Fox in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and as the second (or possibly third) wife of Howard Hughes. Although possibly best remembered for her siren role in Pickup on South Street (1953), Peters was known for her resistance to being turned into a sex symbol. She preferred to play unglamorous, down-to-earth women.[1]
Born Elizabeth Jean Peters in 1926 in East Canton, Ohio, she was the daughter of Elizabeth and Gerald Peters, a laundry manager. Raised on a small farm in East Canton, Peters attended East Canton High School. She was raised as a Methodist.[2] She went to college at the University of Michigan and later the Ohio State University, where she studied to become a teacher and majored in literature. While studying for a teaching degree at Ohio State, she entered the Miss Ohio State Pageant in the fall of 1945. From the twelve finalists, Peters won. Sponsored by the photographer Paul Robinson of the "House of Portraits", she was awarded the grand prize of a screen test with 20th Century-Fox.[3] more......

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (/ˈniːtʃə/[1] German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈniːt͡sʃə]; 15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher,cultural critic, poet, composer, and Latin and Greek scholar. His work, which drew on philosophy, religion, cultural theory, art, and science, has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history.[2]
Nietzsche's philosophy engaged with a wide range of ideas related to the human condition, including truth, morality, language, aesthetics,culture, history, consciousness, and nihilism, and his body of writing spanned theoretical polemics, poetry, cultural criticism, aphorism, and fiction while displaying a fondness for metaphor and irony.[3] His development of perspectivism, the radical questioning of the existence and value of objective truth, has been the focus of extensive commentary in subsequent centuries and remained influential in modern intellectual thought. Equally subject to discussion has been his atheistic critique of religion and morality, which he regarded as symptoms of historical processes erroneously taken for first causes, and of Christianity in particular, which he characterized as propagating a slave morality in the service of spiritual decline and nihilism.[4][5] more.......
