Addams Family and Street Fighter Star Raúl Juliá Passed Away 32 Years Ago at Just 54 🎬🕊️
Remembering a true legend 🙏
Raúl Juliá could move effortlessly between intense drama, larger-than-life comedy, and unforgettable villains. For many fans, he remains the definitive Gomez Addams, bringing enormous charm, romance, and theatrical energy to The Addams Family and Addams Family Values.
His career stretched far beyond the Addams mansion. Juliá earned acclaim as Valentín Arregui in Kiss of the Spider Woman, portrayed Archbishop Óscar Romero in Romero, and played environmental activist Chico Mendes in The Burning Season. One of his final film roles became another cult favorite: General M. Bison in Street Fighter.
Some of his memorable roles include
• Gomez Addams — The Addams Family / Addams Family Values
• General M. Bison — Street Fighter
• Valentín Arregui — Kiss of the Spider Woman
• Archbishop Óscar Romero — Romero
• Chico Mendes — The Burning Season
• Alejandro “Sandy” Stern — Presumed Innocent
• Roberto Strausmann — Moon Over Parador
• Carlos / Comandante Xavier Escalante — Tequila Sunrise
• Dr. Victor Frankenstein — Frankenstein Unbound
• Strom — The Rookie
• Franco Bertollini — The Gumball Rally
• Michael Reisler — Eyes of Laura Mars
• Kalibanos — Tempest
• Ray — One from the Heart
• Detective David Suarez — Compromising Positions
Juliá’s final years showed just how wide his range could be, moving from Gomez Addams’ joyful eccentricity to Chico Mendes’ real-life courage and M. Bison’s outrageous villainy.
Thirty-two years after his passing at 54, Raúl Juliá remains remembered as a magnetic performer whose passion and commanding presence made every character feel larger than the screen. 🎬🕊️

This video by the Wall Street Journal on Trump merchandise stores might be the most unintentionally funny thing I’ve ever seen. Watch to the end.

If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.
Yup.
Stupid fucking MAGA morons. These people have jelly molds for brains. Fucking idiots, easy to convince of anything daddy Trumpy tells them. Disgusting dumb fucks.
Stay in school, folks, or you could end up as fucking stupid as #MAGA.

The apology should obviously come from the president at the time, Trump, who completely botched the handling of the pandemic and lied about the severity of the threat.
We live in the most upside-down and ridiculous and Orwellian of timelines!
