1985 Phil Silvers, age 73 – Actor and comedian (The Phil Silvers Show/Sergeant Bilko, The Beverly Hillbillies, it's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, The Cheap Detective)

I never thought he was funny either.

My, my. There is so much interesting history in the "On This Day" section. Both for Canada and for the U.S. It's also the first time I read the account of the assassination attempt on Truman. I knew there had been an attempt but didn't know the details. I guess it piqued my interest because of what has happened in the last year on Trump and Kirk.
