1819 George Eliot – British author and poet

Why did I never notice that George was really a Mary?







1921 Rodney Dangerfield - Comedian, actor (Caddyshack, Natural Born Killers, Easy Money, Back to School)

Believe it or not Rodney is one of Maria's favorites. I like him too. I always looked forward to seeing him on the Tonight Show.









1958 Jamie Lee Curtis - Actress (A Fish Called Wanda, Trading Places, True Lies, Halloween, Freaky Friday, Scream Queens, Christmas With the Kranks) She is the daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis

I always liked her and I don't think there was anything she was in that I didn't like. But... Her recent politics have kind of put me off. I still plan to watch her though.







1718 Edward Teach – English pirate who was also known as Edward Thatch and Blackbeard the Pirate. ... Teach became the most infamous pirate of his day, winning the popular name of Blackbeard for his long, dark beard that he was rumored to light on fire during battles.

I've Kind of followed his history along with the legends and the search for lost treasure. He would weave cannon fuses into his bear and set light to them and the sight of the smoking head would scare the beejeebers out of his victims.
