10 random things that happened on this day in showbiz history
1775 The US Postal System is created. Are there any great movies about mailmen? I'm drawing a blank. Do not say The Postman.
The first movie actress to get a postage stamp would be Ethel Barrymore but she had to share it with her brothers Lionel and John! Grace Kelly was (I believe) the first movie star to get a solo postage stamp. Since that time (in 1993) we've had: Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Zasu Pitts, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Hattie McDaniel, Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Helen Hayes, Ingrid Bergman, and Shirley Temple. Who is next? Any guesses?
More after the jump including Mr Julie Andrews, Pee Wee Herman, and Cate Blanchett...
