Happy Birthday, Agnes Moorehead - (December 6th, 1900 -April 30th, 1974)

“Orson Welles liked the way I played, and he believed in me.  I was lucky.  It was he who brought me here to Hollywood.  I have to thank him for it.  He thought I could play anything, it didn’t make any difference what part.  If it was a strange part, he said ‘Give it to Agnes, she can play it’.”

Happy Birthday, Adolph “Harpo” Marx (November 23rd, 1888 - September 28th, 1964)

“If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world’s against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it.”
