Portrait of Anne, Emily and Charlotte Bronte, painted by Bramwell Bronte. A shadow lies between Emily and Charlotte where Bramwell removed his own image from the painting. Adjacent text is "Currer Bell Born on this day in 1818. Also known as Charlotte Bronte."
The sisters first published as Currer Bell (Charlotte), Acton Bell (Anne) and Ellis Bell (Emily). Critics still began to suspect her gender and Jane Eyre reviews got more negative. Brother Bramwell painted the portrait. Charlotte died at 38; all the others died around 30.

George Takei #BOTD spent from age 5 to almost age 9, imprisoned in U.S. Japanese internment camps during World War II. This is his graphic memoir from 2019.

THE DARK PAST (1948)
Film and TV composer Sol Kaplan, BOTD (1919-1990) scored just two "Star Trek" episodes in the 60s, but his music was some of the best for the original series.
His "flyby" cue from Season 1 is one of the most recognizable and iconic gems in the entire Star Trek sound world.

Why did Ansel Adams have a crooked nose?
During an aftershock of the April 18, 1906 San Francisco earthquake, he fell onto a brick garden wall and broke his septum. He was four years old.
From the film, Rocky Horror Picture Show: Tim Curry BOTD as Dr Frank N Furter, a transvestite at a transvestite convention, dressed a black Victorian corset worn backwards, fishnet stockings, high heels, and heavy cabaret-style makeup. He’s looking at the camera, smiling.

I did not know that. I expect that irked both Herrmann--and Hitchcock since from what you describe it wasn't exactly a harmonious working relationship!
Here's a bonus post today, honoring the great Miklós Rózsa BOTD in 1907 (d. 1995)
It's the first use of the theremin in a Hollywood movie: Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND (1945).
Groundbreaking and atmospheric to the nth degree.
This the famous Dream Sequence (2:43)

I have tended to think that Hitchcock couldn't have been Hitchcock without Hermann but this makes me rethink....
