ReplyDeleteMy mom always said her claim to fame was that she shared her May 29th birthday with Bob Hope and President Kennedy. So, now, whenever I think of my mom's birthday, I always think of both those guys as well.
Hope you're off to a great Friday!
Me too.. I'm going to try and catch a few "new to me" Barbara Stanwyck films.
