I was born on the same day as some important people!

November 7, 1867- Marie Curie, chemist, physicist
November 7, 1918- Billy Graham, evangelist
November 7, 1922- Al Hirt, jazz musician
November 7, 1938- Barry Newman, actor

As for deaths, there were a crapload. :wot: So I just included the very very famous ones.

07/11/1796 - Catharina II, "the Great", tsarina of Russia (1762-96), dies at 67
07/11/1962 - Eleanor Roosevelt, 1st Lady (1933-1945), dies at 78 in NYC

Here's a great site to find out who died/was born when, so you can post in this thread too!

I spread it out because some places don't allow html postings. Just go to the bottom and click on either birthday or death link and enjoy!
