 | The Last Temptation of Christ.
While William began appearing in films in 1980 it was his staring roll as Jesus in "The Last Temptation Of Christ" that was considered his breakthrough roll.
The movie was fraught with controversy. It was banned in several major cities and the rental chain "Block Busters" refused to carry it. Critic Roger Ebert who was raised Catholic praised it as a film but, admitted it was blasphemous.
Dafoe said; "I still can't believe I was so brazen to think I could pull off the Jesus role. I later met Max von Sydow (the Christ of "The Greatest Story Ever Told") and he said, 'Willem, we are members of a very exclusive fraternity.' " |

 | The Siege of Santiago.
The Battles of San Juan Hill and El Carney were a success. The Americans captured the Spanish positions at both locations. On July 3, 1898, the siege of Santiago began. Company H of the Michigan 33rd was part of this. The generals figured an assault would bring massive casualties so the Americans dug in and stopped the flow of food and water into the city.
On July 4th there was a cease fire that allowed the evacuation of around 20,000 civilians. This also helped the Americans as they were able to bring in heavy weapons to support the operation. In the days that followed the Spanish took heavy casualties from Gatling guns, mortars and field artillery. On July 13th meetings began to discuss the terms of surrender. The Spanish would eventually agree to the term capitulation. The United States flag was raised over the fort at Santiago on July 17th. This picture misidentifies the date as the 13th.
