According to reports, he was chosen from a field of contenders for the role of Robin, which included Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Corey Haim, Toby Stephens, and Scott Speedman. Casting directors narrowed their choices to O'Donnell and DiCaprio, with O'Donnell eventually winning the role. O'Donnell was considered by 20th Century Fox studios as one of the lead roles of Jack Dawson in Titanic (1997), but DiCaprio won the role.

After years of student walkouts, lecturers attempt to oust universities union leaders over 'ineffective' strikes

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 2, 2023
Lecturers at a number of of the UK's top universities have requested a vote of no confidence in the Universities and College Union (UCU) leader Jo Grady over the 'ineffective' strikes she led. Lecturers from Durham, Glasgow, Keele, and Leeds Beckett universities have supported calls for the 39-year-old Miss Grady - who took over UCU leadership in 2019 - to resign. Last month (SEPT) the UCU branch at Durham University was among the unions that had called for the union to compensate academic academics whose salary had been cut off. 'Confusing, ineffective, and undemocratic,' professors branded UCU leadership "confusing, ineffective, and undemocratic' in a referendum at York St John University in 2023.'

George Rossi, a TV legend, amassed a multi-million dollar empire before he died

EXCLUSIVE: George (left), 60, who starred Duncan Lennox in the hit series for 20 years, died of pancreatic cancer in January 2022. Although the £8,059,966.67 'gross value' of his estate made the news, he left only £3,660,996.36 after his debts and bills were subtracted, some of which may have been paid in the form of outstanding buy-to-let mortgages. The fortune he earned was left to his widow Catrin, who said, 'George was a wonderful person at the time of his death.' Both their two children prospered. A photograph of how he expanded the tiny property empire that steadily increased in value by renting out and reinvesting the money in more bricks and mortar is now available - a representation of his international success.
