1932 Edward Hardwicke – British actor (Poirot: The Hollow, Love Actually, Colditz, Elizabeth, The Scarlet Letter, Shadowlands) His father was Sir Cedric Hardwicke. He appeared with John Thaw in The Sweeney episode Hearts and Minds. He also played Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the movie, Photographing Fairies. And of course, he gave one of the best portrayals of Dr. John H. Watson

Where would our mysteries be without him? Perhaps the best Watson of all.







1942 Garrison Keillor – Humorist, radio host (The Prairie Home Companion) and author (Radio Days)

I never missed his show. I wish we still had things like that.







1957 Oliver Hardy, age 65 – US comedian who was half of the vaudeville team with Stan Laurel. They also starred in numerous feature films (The Music Box, Babes in Toyland, Utopia)

Still the best comedy team of all time in my opinion.
