TENTH U.S. PRESIDENT INAUGURATED

John Tyler, Tenth President (1841-1845) | John Tyler, 1859, … | Flickr

On April 6, 1841, John Tyler was sworn in as president. Tyler was
elected as
William Harrison’s vice president earlier in 1841 and
was suddenly thrust into the role of president when Harrison
died one month into office.

He was the first vice president to immediately assume the role
of president after a sitting president’s untimely exit and set the
precedent for succession thereafter.

Tyler’s death due to a stroke at 71 in 1862 was the only one in 
presidential history not to be officially recognized in Washington,
because of his allegiance to the Confederate States of America.

Bette DAvis last film Wicked Stepmother – johnrieber

This 1989 movie is best known for being the last film of Bette Davis, who withdrew from the project after filming began,
citing major problems with the script, Cohen’s direction, and
the way she was being photographed.

Cohen later claimed she really dropped out due to ill health
but avoided publicizing the truth for fear it would affect
potential future employment. Davis disputed this claim.
