1781 Sir Robert Smirke – British architect who built the British Museum

That last name - love it.

1920 Walter Matthau - Actor (The Fortune Cookie, The Odd Couple, Grumpy Old Men, Dennis the Menace, Hello Dolly!, Pete & Tillie, Plaza Suite, The Sunshine Boys, JFK, Fail-Safe, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, The Bad News Bears, Cactus Flower)

Who would be the equivalent of Walter Matthhau today?

1974 The first McDonald’s opened in London

I just learned today that going to MacDonald's in Britian is called going to Macky's. I just think the Brits have such cute nicknames for things, like telly, trolly, lolly, brolly, uni just to name a few.
