1902 Lloyd Nolan - Actor (The Caine Mutiny, Airport, Hannah and Her Sisters, Ice Station Zebra, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Peyton Place, Julia)

Back in the 80s I read a story from People Mag about Lloyd Nolan having a son with autism. I'd never heard of it before and I'll bet a lot of people hadn't either until reading that article.

1934 A group of federal prisoners classified as "most dangerous" arrived at Alcatraz Island,..

And now we have Alligator Alcatraz. LOL.

1965 Rioting and looting broke out in the predominantly black Watts section of Los Angeles after white police officers arrested a black man suspected of drunk driving. In the week that followed, 34 people were killed and more than 1,000 injured in rioting

At the time, my husband was working in L.A. I was a stay-at-home-mom and was very worried about him going to and from work. Those were scary times. Riots were few and far between. The Watts riots were the first I'd ever heard of.
