Those "on this day" places are good sources for little-known and quite famous information. Apparently, 100 years ago, noted Japanese film director and SW influence Akira Kirosawa was born. :)

Have a good one celebrating with Captain Kidd and Wernher von Braun, Akira!
Today would have been my step moms birthday. I don't know how old she would have been, I knew she was a few years younger then my dad, but it's never polite to ask a woman her age. She passed away about a year and six months ago.
The OG Obbes himself, Sir Alex had a birthday today (or was that yesterday? I can't remember). Oddly enough Ewen had a birthday as well turning 40 on Wednesday.

Let's hear it for the ladies! Mother Theresa would've been reached triple digits for the first time, while the 19th Amendment votes for herself for the 90th year.
Frank Zappa: 70 today. And he's a Local Boy Made Good to some people here.
Well, I guess I forgot to mention Ronald Reagan's 100th yesterday. Mr. Forumites: built up this thread!
Yes, happy belated posthumous birthday to the former President of the United States.
