Love these segments. They are facts that I also show to my boys to teach them about our history through the years.

Surprised they didn’t mention Robin Williams.

Hedy Lamarr a genius before her time. Smile down Hedy, it’s time for women 💪🏽💕💜💕💜

Robin Williams died 10 years ago today. Thought you’d like to know

Question, how did the two come up with that idea, Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil

[EagleRockers]

I saw A HARD DAY'S NIGHT on opening day in NYC. I was 12 years old and huge Beatles fan. Still am.

ABC News 8/9/24. “Nagasaki marks 79th A-Bomb anniversary without US and other ambassadors, after excluding Israel”

I feel bad for Pollock's death but honestly his "paintings" were crap. Goes to show how groups of people can make drivel "popular and trendy and inflated in value" when a 3 year old could have produced the same It's Hedley", Hedy Lamarr obviously had a ZERO sense of humor suing Mel Brooks over the Blazing Saddles reference.
