I always thought it was funny that It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World was in amongst all those other movies.
1942 Madeline Kahn – Stage and screen actress (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, What’s Up Doc?, Paper Moon, High Anxiety, The Cheap Detective, Nixon) She played Jenny Hill in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
I always enjoyed her. She was so funny and very pretty.
1913 Rudolf Diesel, age 55 – German engineer and inventor of the diesel engine. He was also a linguist, a social theorist, and a connoisseur of the arts. But it was his diesel engine that changed the world, proving more efficient than steam and used on everything from locomotives to boats, eventually revolutionizing the automobile. He died while crossing the English Channel on a cruiser, after jumping overboard
I'm assuming this was suicide? Seems very odd. I wonder why?
