Today's events

In keeping with society's general adulation, and, in some cases, outright worship, of celebrity, here's some celebrations for today:

Birthdays:

In 1848 the famous saloon-keeper and lawman Wyatt Earp was born.

Today is the day, and 1936 is the year, famous Bond girl Ursula Andress was born.

Again on the 19th, but in 1955, under-appreciated actor Bruce Willis was born.

Other:

Finally, and some would say most importantly, on this date in 1962
Robert Allen Zimmerman (OK, Bob Dylan) released his first album simply titled Bob Dylan.
