On This Day...

[La Femme Fatale]

Does a famous birthday count? if the acter is sorta well known... I mean Martin Lawrence was in that film BadBoys an that was a cool film.
If it doesnt count I wont bother haha xD

I'm not sure I'd call Martin Lawrence's birthday a 'historical event', lol. If we're going to mention birthdays, I'd mention someone who has had a significant impact on history, not modern-day actors. There's always Wikipedia though, if you're not sure of any.

Well, I don't know- Chris' thread, his rules...

So this is the infamousday (Dammit, I'm in Orlando, not London) of Lincoln's death.

It is. I think I only remembered because I've been to that house he died in. It was neat though, it's really weird being in that same area, almost 140 years later...

While this thread was set aside to address actual historical events, I'm sure if you just put one in for good measure alongside your own, it shouldn't be an issue.
