I’ll just get right to it:
- Birthdays:
- Clark Gable: People Magazines “Sexiest Man of the Year, 1934” ( I Think). That’s when he put up a curtain between himself and Claudette Colbert in the Capra film “It Happened One Night,” but we all know what really happened that night.
- Langston Hughes: Poet, novelist, playwright known for his insightful depictions of the Black Experience.
- Mme. Adrienne Levin: 3 Star Michelin Chef; Beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, to some of the most accomplished Educators and Titans of Industry; Creator of the quintessential “Sunday Dinner: that has been copied by many but never equaled.
- Rhonda Rousey: Inexplicably sexy MMA Fighter, with whom many would like to “go a few rounds!”
- Rick James: Musician and star subject of Dave Chappelle’s most famous skit on the Chappelle Show.
- Harry Styles: Boy band heart throb, previous doer of Jason Sudeikis’ ex-wife Olivia Wilde and some guy in “My Policeman.”
Incidentally February 1, 1865 is also the date Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery. And while you hear endless misguided rants about the second amendment, many still do not understand the freedoms granted by the 13th. They can be easily identified by their red MAGA hats or having been appointed to The Supreme Court by #45!
