Garcia is 59, Claire Danes is 36, David Letterman-68
1911- Cartoonist Winsor McCay opened his vaudeville act with
his "Little Nemo" animated short.
1954- "ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK' recorded by Bill Haley
and the Comets- arguably the first true Rock & Roll hit.
1992- Euro-Disney, now called Disneyland Paris, opened. It
attracted only 50.000 visitors the first year, about ten times less than what
was expected. The first Disneyland in California drew 100,00 on opening day
alone . But it has since crawled back to solvency- it finally paid for itself
in 1997.
1995- To celebrate David
Letterman’s 49th birthday, actress Drew Barrymore climbed up on his
desk and flashed her breasts. For once, the bucktoothed talkshow host was
speechless.
