...so was one who ruined today, August 15th, as a birthday. Take a look at the list and realize that if you share your birthday with her, well you have my heartfelt sympathy:
1688 Frederick-William I king of Prussia (1713-1740).
1769 Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France (1804-1815) and military leader.
1771 Sir Walter Scott, Scottish novelist who wrote Ivanhoe and Rob Roy.
1845 Walter Crane England, painter/illustrator (Beauty & Beast).
1875 Samuel Coleridge-Taylor London, composer (Hiawatha's Wedding Feast.)
1879 Ethel Barrymore Philadelphia, actress (Constant Wife, Corn is Green).
1888 T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia.
1912 Julia Child, American chef and television personality.
1920 Huntz Hall actor (Cyclone, Gas Pump Girls, The Rating Game or maybe best known as: Horace DeBussy Jones, aka: Sach, of the Bowery Boys)
1924 Robert Bolt, English screenwriter and playwright best known for A Man for all Seasons.
1938 Maxine Waters, congresswoman from California, second African-American woman to be elected to congress.
What a way to ruin an impeccable line of great people born on this day!
All the best,
Glenn B
