1932- Cecil B. DeMille shot the scene in his film Sign of
the Cross where Claudette Colbert took a bath in asses milk. Legend has it that
DeMille insisted on real milk in the bath and that by the second day the hot
studio lights had curdled it to a smelly cheese. But production notes show the
scene was all shot in one day. DeMille always got away with sexy semi-nude
scenes by putting them in biblical settings. After all, who would criticize a
morality tale from the Good Book?
1954- Groundbreaking for the
construction of Disneyland.
1956 –The Last time Ringling Bros,
Barnum & Bailey Circus performed under a canvas circus tent.
1969- Congress passed Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code
of Federal Regulations. It makes it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any
contact with extraterrestrials or their spacecraft.
