AD 76 Hadrian - Spanish born Roman emperor whose defensive policies led to the building of Hadrian's Wall on the border of Scotland and England

The wall still stands today 2,000 years later. The stone wall is 15 feet (4.6 metres) high, 10 Roman feet (3 metres) wide, wide enough for there to have been a walkway along the top, and perhaps also a parapet wall. The turf sector was 20 Roman feet (6 metres) wide.









1917 Ernest Borgnine - Actor (Marty, The Poseidon Adventure, The Dirty Dozen, McHale's Navy, Airwolf, The Single Guy, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Hoover, SpongeBob SquarePants)

I enjoyed him in everything I saw him in. He seemed like someone I would have liked to have known.







1941 Neil Diamond - Singer (Sweet Caroline, Cracklin' Rosie, Song Sung Blue, America)

I have a boxed set/anthology of all of his music. I read (Back a couple of years ago) how he didn't feel he had done his best at a concert because of a cold. He insisted that everyone in attendance be given their money back. Can you think of anyone else that would have the integrity to do that?
