Marie Avgeropoulos (; born 17 June 1986) is a Canadian actress and model. She is best known for her role as Octavia Blake on The CW’s post-apocalyptic science fiction television series The 100 (2014–present).

Early life
Avgeropoulos was born on 17 June 1986 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She grew up fishing, hunting and camping, spending most of her free time outdoors. Avgeropoulos started playing drums when she was 16. After studying broadcast journalism for two years in her hometown, Avgeropoulos moved to Europe. Several months later, she came back to Canada and settled in Vancouver.
Career
One of her friends invited her for a casting call in Vancouver, which happened to be looking for drummers. A talent agent recognized her talent and invited her to appear in various national commercials. She caught the attention of director Chris Columbus. He hired Avgeropoulos for I Love You, Beth Cooper, which became her first feature film role. Her appearance in the film gave her the opportunities to star in more films and television shows.

In 2010, Avgeropoulos was cast as Kim Rhodes in the film Hunt to Kill, which became her break-out role.

Early in 2013, Avgeropoulos made her break-out in television after being cast for a recurring role in The CW's Cult. However, the series failed to attract viewers and after episode 7, the show was cancelled. The remaining six episodes of the show were broadcast later in the summer.

Not long after the show ended, The CW cast her as one of the main characters in their new sci-fi, The 100, to portray the character Octavia Blake.
Personal life
The 32-year-old actress and her 41-year-old boyfriend allegedly began arguing in a car on the Ventura (134) Freeway shortly after midnight 5 August 2018. Avgeropoulos was accused of striking him multiple times in the head, neck and arm, resulting in minor injuries, according to the District Attorney’s Office. She was then charged with domestic violence. Avgeropoulos's boyfriend wants the charges against the actress dropped as he said she doesn't pose a threat.

State funeral
State funeral

Before his death, Bush filed a 211-page document with the Military District of Washington, which had a request for an aerial flyover of fighter jets in missing man formation by the United States Air Force during his state funeral, as well as final interment and burial to occur at the George Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas.

Bush made plans for a national funeral service to be held at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Bush lay in state in the United States Capitol rotunda from the evening of December 3 through the morning of December 5.

Tributes were made by Jon Meacham, Brian Mulroney, Alan K. Simpson, and George W. Bush at the Washington National Cathedral. President Donald Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Bush and Jimmy Carter attended the funeral.
International leaders attending these services include: Britain's Prince Charles and former Prime Minister John Major, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Polish President Andrzej Duda and former President Lech Wałęsa, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari Abdullah II of Jordan and Speaker of Taiwan's Congress Su Jia-chyuan.

Shortly after the Washington service, Bush's body was taken back to Houston by a custom-made train where a service was held. On December 6, 2018, his body was buried at the George Bush Presidential Library next to his wife Barbara Bush.
