From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, I'm Coryphantha, and I've been a Wikipedia editor since May 2018. My main area of interests are American and Latino actors and actresses and the movies they appeared in, specifically the golden age of cinema. They don't make 'em like they used to. I'm also interested in early American comedy TV, laughter is the spice of life. I'm also a big Jack Benny fan, who had a huge influence on modern American comedy, and is the reason I still tell people I'm 39.

Buster Keaton was the original stunt guy, handsome in his own way, and brilliant at planning and producing his own stunts with minimal injuries. If you have time, check out his movie The General and be sure to watch it to the end.
I've created 18 articles in main space, my favorite among them is Queta Lavat, and Raquel Pankowsky as a close second. Ten articles is pretty good, even for a fairly new editor, but I'm certainly not done by a long shot. The future is still an empty slate, dotted with many a new article.
My ideal romantic date would be a dinner at an authentic Mexican restaurant, where my date keeps slipping the Mariachi band twenty dollar bills, so they'll keep playing his requests at our table, the first of which would be Si Nos Dejan.

Joseph and Potiphar's Wife is a 1634 etching by the Dutch artist Rembrandt. Described as "unprecedented in its erotic candor", it depicts an episode from the Book of Genesis in which the wife of the Egyptian officer Potiphar attempts to seduce Joseph, who rejects her advances and flees as she grabs his garment. She later uses the garment to falsely accuse him of assaulting her, leading to his imprisonment. Rembrandt shows Joseph recoiling and averting his eyes as Potiphar's partially nude wife reaches towards him from her bed, and the artist may have intended moral implications in the contrast of light and shadow between the two subjects. Multiple layers of hatching create the darker areas of the print. The etching is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.Etching credit: Rembrandt
