1932 Patsy Cline - Country singer (Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, She's Got You, Heartaches, Sweet Dreams Of You)

I know I've said before that I'm not a Country fan, but I was a huge fan of hers. I still enjoy her old hits. I know she would have had many more if she'd lived.

1981 Jonathan Taylor Thomas - Actor (The Lion King, The Adventures of Pinocchio, Tom and Huck, Home Improvement, The Wild Thornberrys)

He was such a huge child actor. I decided to look him up to see what his adult life turned out to be. This is just a couple clips:

Education and Personal Life
In 2000, Thomas enrolled at Harvard University, where he studied philosophy and history, later graduating from Columbia University in 2010. He also spent a year studying abroad at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. After stepping back from acting in the early 2000s, he focused on his education and personal interests, including directing and writing.

Recent Activities
Since his peak fame, Thomas has made occasional appearances in film and television, including directing episodes of "Last Man Standing." He has expressed satisfaction with his decision to step away from the spotlight, emphasizing the importance of education and personal growth during his time away from acting. As of now, he remains relatively private, with few appearances since 2021.


1930 The comic strip Blondie first appeared

I had to ask if she started out as a Flapper. I'm just very curious this morning, I guess.

Yes, Blondie started out as a Flapper. In the early days of the comic strip, she was depicted as a flapper girl, specifically named Boopadoop, who was a carefree and adventurous character. This character trait was a significant part of her identity when the comic strip first debuted in 1930.
