March 1st Birthdays
(1841) Blanche Bruce- The first black guy to serve a full term in the United States Senate was a Republican.
(1904) Glenn Miller- Big band music doesn't get the love that it should.
(1910) David Niven- I loved his work in The Pink Panther.
(1914) Ralph Ellison- Invisible Man is brilliant.
I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approached me they see only my surroundings, themselves , or figments of their imagination—indeed, everything and anything except me.
(P. 1, Invisible Man)
(1914) Harry Caray- I'm not a baseball fan, but I like what Will Ferrell did with him.
(1944) Roger Daltry- He made some great music.
(1954) Ron Howard- Opie Cunningham is prolific! He's been involved in: The Twilight Zone, Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, M.A.S.H, American Graffiti, Night Shift, Arrested Development, Backdraft, Parenthood and Splash. That's a crazy resume!
(1954) Catherine Bach- She's on this list for her work in the Dukes of Hazard.
