Early Life, Bio and Education

Morgana McNelis was born under the zodiac sign of Virgo on the 7^th September 1983, in the state of Georgia, USA, so of American nationality, and white ethnicity.

At the age of 20 she enrolled at William Holland School of Lapidary Arts, where she learned advanced crafting techniques as well as working with precious metals. Additionally, she took various courses regarding fashion, art and business administration.

Career

Morgana’s first business endeavor dates back to 2007, when alongside her sister Marina she opened a jewelry store.

However, due to the global financial crisis also referred to as the Great Recession that shook the world between late 2007 and 2009, she was forced to shut it down not long after. She then dived into the fashion industry where she worked as a model.

In 2011, Morgana served as a costume assistant for the thriller horror movie “Isolation”, while later that year she made her debut on-screen as well as behind-the-camera appearance – she produced and appeared in one of the leading roles in the short crime horror film entitled “187: The McKenna Murders”.

Charlie Hunnam and Morgana McNelis

In 2012, combining her modeling experience with her sense of fashion, and using her own ‘unconventional’ jewelry crafting methods, Morgana launched her own brand of unique jewelry pieces named Maison de Morgana, located in Los Angeles, California. Her first collection – Black Magik 2012 – was based on mythological foundations, being inspired by the motion pictures covering mythical topics such as legends about King Arthur and Dracula, with a dash of influence from ancient Egypt and the Ottoman Empire.

It consisted of ‘haute noir’ pieces, including necklaces, bracelets, ring and earrings made of white bronze and brass. Influenced by renowned designers, namely Alexander McQueen and Riccardo Tisci, Morgana’s collection quickly attracted customers, including several celebrities such as Zac Efron and Winona Ryder, to name just two.

The unique aesthetics of her pieces caught the eye of the production crew of the FX’s television crime drama series “Sons of Anarchy”, so shortly after her jewelry became featured in the series, worn by members of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle gang.

In 2013, she created the BC Armor Collection for the Boot Campaign charitable organization. Inspired by WWII and in honor of her grandfather who was a member of the US Air Force, as well as all the fallen American military, it aimed to help to promote patriotism and raise awareness. It featured the star as one of America’s most widely recognized patriotic symbols, consisting of bracelets and necklaces produced using white bronze, brass and sterling silver. All sale revenues from this project were guided towards helping war veterans and their family members.

In 2014, McNelis made a cameo appearance in the short, critically acclaimed comedy drama movie entitled “Acting 101”.

Additionally, the brand specialized in so called ‘bridge’ jewelry, combining elegance with attainability and walking the fine line between luxury and costume jewelry, consisting of pieces combining plain metals with precious stones.

With quality as its paramount as well as its eclectic appearance, Morgana‘s pieces have been featured on the pages of a variety of popular magazines and publications, such as the GQ, US Weekly, Red Book and the Accessories Magazine among others.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Parker McKenna is of Native American, African-American, Italian, and Irish descent. She grew up alongside two siblings, and growing-up in Los Angeles, she became very familiar with the world of acting due to her mother working as an actress. Later on her parents divorced, and while she remained connected to both parents, she remained mostly with her mother, but would later have three half-siblings from through her father.

Even as a toddler, her mother started taking her to auditions, which led to her first professional opportunity, commercial work for the camera company Kodak.

A few years later she resumed doing acting projects as she enjoyed them, leading her to work as a model for several Disney clothing catalogs. She also appeared in a commercial for the brand Old Navy, a clothing company that is a subsidiary of Gap – the store has its main operations within California which led to the opportunity. She also made an appearance in the music video “Sweet Sweet Baby” by Macy Gray.

My Wife and Kids

In 2001, Posey got her first television role at the age of six, as a guest in the series “NYPD Blue”. The police procedural show aired from the 1990s up to the mid-2000s, following the story of a detective squad working as a part of a fictional precinct within Manhattan.

The show was very popular during its time, gaining praise for its realistic storylines and its inherent grittiness.

However, it was her next project that launched her career, as she was cast in the sitcom “My Wife and Kids” as Kady, the youngest family member. The sitcom aired on ABC for five seasons, and starred Damon Wayans as the patriarch of an upper middle-class family whose members are semi-dysfunctional.

Life After My Wife and Kids

While the show was very popular for a few years, interest in it eventually died down, and coupled with the desire of Wayans to pursue other projects, the show was canceled in 2005.

The show was known for its focus on feminist issues, along with its overarching medical theme.

She also made an appearance in the show “iCarly”, a sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon starring Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy.

Hiatus and Return

As Posey approached her teenage years, she focused a lot on theatre acting, appearing in a production of “Restless Peace”, then working with the Blank Theatre Company in a production of “Shock Therapy”. Wanting to complete her education and take a break from acting, she then went on a hiatus for six years to do just that.

While there was speculation that she wouldn’t return, she then made her presence known once more as a young adult, creating public accounts on various social media platforms.

Her return marked a very different image from her younger years, as she showed a more sensual side of herself, as she’d worked on her figure and her image a lot more. This soon led to her return to acting in the film “This Is Real”, before appearing in “Streets of Money”. Afterwards, she made an appearance in the series “Snowfall” which aired on FX – set during the 1980s, and deals with the crack epidemic in Los Angeles.

Personal Life

Their relationship quickly became public. and they stayed together for two years before separating. Shortly afterwards, she was spotted dating rapper Problem, spending time in Hawaii together, but nothing much came out of it. In 2018, she was romantically linked with YouTube personality Chris Sails, but it didn’t turn into a relationship.

Apart from her acting work, she spends a lot of time helping various charities, particularly with the Stand Up to Cancer Foundation which she has supported for over six years. She also aspires to create a non-profit organization herself one day.

Francesca Hetfield is an American costume designer, born on 27 January 1970 in Rosario, Argentina. She rose to fame due to her marriage with Metallica’s lead vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield.

Early Life

Although Francesca Hetfield (neé Tomasi) was born in South America, she and her family moved to the US when she was a child, and she grew up in Vail, Colorado. Further information about her family is unknown though.

As Francesca doesn’t offer many interviews, details about her early life are difficult to obtain. Despite this, her husband James Hetfield mentioned during an interview in 2016 that she had gone through difficult experiences during her early life: ‘she was the invisible kid too,’ he pointed out, as it was relatable to his own personal story: ‘we’re both survivors’.

Francesca Hetfield studied in Overland High School, from where she matriculated in the late 1980s. She later specialized in costume design.

Career

While Francesca Hetfield was initially working as a security guard in Denver, she later started looking for a job which involved travelling. It was then when she was hired as part of the staff of the heavy metal band Metallica, during their “Wherever I May Roam” promotional tour in the early 1990s.

Francesca worked as a costume designer and wardrobe assistant for the members of the band for several years. However, further details about her current occupation and professional interests are unknown.

Personal Life

Marriage & Family

Francesca met her husband-to-be, James Hetfield when she was working as a wardrobe designer for Metallica. They started dating soon after meeting, though James himself has admitted his behaviour at the start of their relationship was ‘embarrassing’ for both of them, as he was prone to destructive and impulsive tendencies.

However, Francesca helped James to leave behind these traits and overcome his toxic behaviour: ‘she helped me grow up quite a bit’, he later said. After five years of a relationship, Francesca and James married on 17 August 1997. They welcomed their older daughter, Cali Tee on 13 June 1998, and their son Castor Virgil was born on 18 May 2000. Their younger daughter Marcella Francesca was born on 17 January 2002.

Lifestyle

Francesca Hetfield, her husband and kids currently live in her hometown of Vail, in Colorado. The family moved there in 2016 after they’d had enough of the hectic lifestyle of their previous Bay Area house in California.

Francesca’s husband James has also said he prefers to live in Colorado, as it allows him to enjoy life outdoors, be closer to nature and keeps him away from ‘elitism’: ‘I kind of got sick of the Bay Area, the attitudes of the people there, a little bit’.

Francesca and James Hetfield

He pointed out that despite his love for the ocean, he couldn’t live there anymore: ‘(I was) starting to feel like I was just fighting all the time, and I just had to get out of my own head. So Colorado does it for me.’

The Hetfield’s new house in Vail is well fitting for his family too, especially for Francesca who returned to live in her hometown after over two decades.  Besides adopting a simple lifestyle, the Hetfield family also often visits Argentina, to stay in Francesca’s family’s ranch in La Patagonia.

Who is Francesca’s Husband James Hetfield?

The main reason Francesca has risen to fame is through being married to James Hetfield, who’s notably known for being the vocalist and guitarist of Metallica. He was born on 3 August 1863 in Downey, California.

James Hetfield’s childhood was out of the ordinary in many ways.

His family were practitioners of Christian Science, which meant they rejected using modern medicine, as they strongly believed in the power of their faith to cure any type of illness. James’ father Virgil Lee Hetfield – who worked as a trucker – left the family when his son was 13 years old.

Virgil’s abandonment affected James greatly. As he affirmed to Playboy in 2001, he didn’t even know his parents had separated until his mother told him the true nature of his father’s prolonged ‘business trip’ years later: ‘It was hidden that he was gone. Finally, my mom said ‘dad is not coming back’ and that was pretty difficult.’

James’ mother, Cynthia Bassett is a former opera singer – unfortunately she died from cancer when her son was 16 years old. She was diagnosed with this illness two years prior to her death, though she never received treatment as her religion’s rules dictated. James was left then to live with David, his older half-brother.

Despite the struggles of his early years, James was driven by music from his childhood. After learning to play piano at nine years old, he subsequently learned to also play the drums and guitar. James was a loyal fan of Aerosmith, a band which he saw in concert for the first time in 1978. The experience was unforgettable for him, as it became his source of inspiration and the reason he decided to choose music as his career.

James Hetfield attended Downey High School until his sophomore year, leaving school when his mother Cynthia died. He ultimately matriculated from Brea Olinda High School In 1981.

Career

In April 1981, James answered an advertisement posted by drummer Lars Ulrich, indicating that he was looking for people to form a band. James was immediately recruited by Lars, and only six months after their initial meeting, Metallica – with the addition of other members – was officially established.

The band’s first song entitled “Hit the Lights” was included in the compilation album “Metal Massacre” – in this track, James was credited as the rhythm guitarist, bassist and vocalist. Metallica’s first demo was entitled “Power Metal”, which also helped the band to gain popularity on said metal sub-genre of the same name during their initial years. In 1984 people started referring to their sound as thrash metal.

Metallica planned to release their first album, “Metal Up Your Ass” in May 1983, however, their label Megaforce Records rejected the name and made them change it. The album was ultimately released in June that year under the title “Kill ‘Em All”, which was followed by “Ride The Lightning” soon after. Both productions helped the band to gain recognition on the metal scene, and caught the attention of major music labels.

Once again, it was an honor to be a part of @Dreamforce. Thank you to our friends at @Salesforce for including us in the fun & games during this crazy year.

Following the release of “Creeping Death” as a single in November 1984, Metallica embarked on their first international tour in Europe. Then in March 1986, the band released “Masters of Puppets”, which became a certified gold album later that year, and then toured the US, though as James’ wrist was injured, his guitar playing was temporarily replaced by John Marshall’s.

In 1988 Metallica released their following album “…And Justice For All”, which gained them their first nomination for a Grammy Award, and became their first number one on Billboard.

Metallica released their next albums “Load” in 1996 and “Reload” the following year, but only after several years without new music did the band release the album “St. Anger” in 2003, which was followed five years later by “Death Magnetic”.

In 2009 the band was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Metallica’s latest album “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct” was released in 2016.

Struggle With Addictions

Besides dealing with anger issues, James Hetfield struggled with addictions for several years, which has led him to enter rehab programs two times in his life.

In 2001 he went on a hunting trip to Siberia and was absent from his son’s birthday. This trip was driven by his lack of self-control originating from alcoholism. It also caused his wife Francesca to throw him out of the house when he returned from his trip.

Finding himself living alone and away from his family, James sought professional help: ‘Fear was a big motivator in that for me. Losing my family, that was the thing that scared me so much, that was the bottom I hit.’

Although Francesca’s decision might seem rough for some, it helped James to step out of his addiction path, for which he’s grateful: ‘She has ridden the big waves with me. We have gone through some extremely difficult things and come out stronger. She’s stuck with me through all the hell.’

After rehab James was able to fix his relationship with Francesca and the rest of his family. He has also declared himself as straight X, a movement which kept him away from his alcoholism for several years. Unfortunately, in 2019 James went back to his old ways with his addiction, causing his return into rehab and the cancelation of Metallica’s tour through Australia.

Much to the joy of his fans James overcame his addiction once again, and made a public appearance in January 2020.
