Today is my birthday. I turn 28 years old at exactly 12:25pm on the dot (I was a very punctual newborn). I'm sure my soul is probably a couple of centuries old. I did some research and found some birth dates, marriage dates and death dates that happened on my birthday. See below.
Also, I'm taking a short hiatus to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family. I'll be back next week. Hope you have a safe and happy holiday! And if you start your Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving, please buy books as presents. Support the book industry and literacy!
This Day in Film History
Births:
11-25-1914 ~ Joe DiMaggio, one-time spouse of actress Marilyn Monroe, was born on this date.
11-25-1920 ~ Actor Ricardo Montalban was born on this date.
Marriages:
11-25-1934 ~ Sucky Actress Margaret Sullavan marries the director William Wyler (who totally should have known better). I'm wondering if she noticed that he wasn't Jimmy Stewart! What an idiot. Can you tell I don't like her?
11-25-1946 ~ Actor Louis Calhern marries actress Marianne Stewart.
11-25-1965 ~ Jazz Musician Chet Baker marries Carol Baker. I know he's not a classic film actor, but I like him okay!
Deaths:
11-25-???? ~ No names that I recognized. Let's keep it that way.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Oh, to be 28 again. Savour it. Have a nice thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued by who you shared your birthday with so I did my own.
I share it with John Lee Hooker, Ray Bradbury, Dorothy Parker. Illustrious company.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Laurence Harvey passed away on Nov 25th. Sorry!
Happy birthday, and here's wishing you and your family a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDelete" I know he's not a classic film actor, but I like him okay!"
ReplyDeleteSince Chet had so much drama in his life, I think we can make an exception!
Happy Birthday!
Don't appologise for Chet not being a filmstar. Bruce Weber did a fantastic documentary about him back in 88. In that he's a star all the way through.
ReplyDeleteAnother Chet that also shares your birthday is Commandante whatever Augusto PinoChet who definitley not is a moviestar of any kind.
Happy 28 and Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday, Raquelle, and use the time off to listen to some classic Chet, and any other West Coast cool jazz of the fifties - doesn't get much better than that. Happy Thanksgiving!
