Al Matthews Dies: Actor Famous for "Aliens" Role Was 75

Actor Al Matthews, best known for his memorable role in the film Aliens, has died.


The iconic actor had retired to Spain, which is where he passed away.


He was 75.



75-year-old Al Matthews passed away at his home, according to Spanish newspaper El Pais.


Matthews’ home was located in Orihuela Costa, in the Spanish Mediterranean province of Alicante.


He had retired to Spain in 2005.


Responders found Matthews when a neighbor called emergency services.


An autopsy is expected for the late actor.






Matthews is, of course, best known for his role as Gunnery Sergeant Apone in James Cameron’s 1986 classic, Aliens.


In the science fiction film, he starred alongside living legend Sigourney Weaver.


He delivered a truly famous line.


“Alright sweethearts, what are you waiting for, breakfast in bed? A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm,” he said on screen.


The quote continues: “Every meal’s a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the corps!”






That may have been Matthews’ most famous role, but was far from the only one. In fact, he appeared in over 30 films.


Matthews portrayed a fire chief in Superman III.


He played General Tudor in the cult classic The Fifth Element.


He also enjoyed success in the United Kingdom, where he had a role on the UK series, Grange Hill.


And speaking of his work across the pond, in 1975, his song, “Fool,” reached #16 on the UK Singles chart.


Despite his retirement, Matthews reprised his legendary role as Sgt. Apone in the 2013 video game, Aliens: Colonial Marines.






Perhaps part of what made Matthews’ role in Aliens so iconic and powerful — aside from his acting skills — was that he had been a real life marine in Vietnam.


“I spent six years in the United States Marine Corps;” Matthews shared on his personal website. “I hold thirteen combat awards and decorations, including two purple hearts.”


He reveals: “I was the first black Marine in the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam to be meritoriously promoted to the rank of sergeant.”


That is one hell of an achievement.


His website blurb concludes: “I served with Kilo Battery, Fourth Battalion, 11th Marines, 1st Marine Division, of that I am very proud.”


Rest in peace, Al Matthews.

Florida Woman Wants to Be Elected to Congress, Says She Was Abducted by Aliens

Over the years, you’ve likely read about that time a Florida Woman tried to impregnate her slave with her boyfriend’s sperm.


Or the time a Florida Woman was so desperate for Chicken McNuggets that she hoped to exchange oral sex for this fast food delicacy.


But this is a new one, even for the much-maligned and often-controversial Florida Woman:



Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera claims she was abducted by aliens at the age of seven.


Oh, and she’s running for Congress!


A one-time council member from Doral, Aguilera previously described her alleged interaction with extraterrestrials in multiple interviews uncovered by The Miami Herald.


The politician says two large-bodied females and one male visited her when she was a child and have communicated telepathically with her multiple times since then.


In a 2009 Q&A, Aguilera outlined “going up” into a spaceship with these beings and spending time as their captive/guest.


“I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship – not like airplanes,” Rodriguez Aguilera said.




BOA


In separate videos posted to YouTube many years ago – one by local Spanish-language station America TeVe and another by a political critic with the user name DoralGirl26 – Rodriguez Aguilera talked in detail about these experiences.


She said the alien beings reminded her of the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, with arms outstretched.


As for what she learned from these aliens?


– There are 30,000 skulls (“different from humans”) in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta.


– The world’s “energy center” is located in Africa.


– The Coral Castle, a limestone tourist attraction South Miami-Dade, is actually an ancient Egyptian pyramid.


– Simply, “God is a universal energy.”

Aguilera isn’t really denying this story, either.


She’s running to replace retiring Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and responded to The Herald’s request for comment as follows:


“For years people, including Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter and astronauts have publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects and scientists like Stephen Hawking and institutions like the Vatican have stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone.


“I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe.”


She also thinks the newspaper is out to get her.


“The Miami Herald article is clearly an attack piece,” Aguilera told The Washington Post, adding:


“I’m a person who owns up to who I am.


“And this is just an experience that I had. It has nothing to do with who I am and what I have shown in the past 40 years and what a positive role model I’ve been to the community.”


We’d say she has no chance of winning, but… you’ve seen who is in the White House, right?
