HISTORY ~ MAY 19

 
 
 
 
 
     1943  Churchill And FDR Plot D-Day

On this day in 1943, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt set a date for the cross-Channel landing that would become D-Day-May 1, 1944. That date will prove a bit premature, as bad weather becomes a factor.

 
1969  Jodie Foster's Debut

Six-year-old Jodie Foster makes her show business debut, on TV show Mayberry R.F.D. Foster grew up to become one of Hollywood's most respected actresses. She won Oscars for her roles in The Accused (1988) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

I have a friend who was in Silence Of The Lambs.  He had a scene with Jodie Foster and said she was great to work with.

Hope your migraines go away and stay away.They are so debilitating.I suffered with them when my children were growing up not knowing what to do-no doctor had diagnosed what was wrong.Finally a doc did something and I now can zap those nasty things before they get too bad.
Take care

Hope you're feeling better, Bethe!! I actually did end up getting kidnapped by my girlfriends on Sunday morning - we went to Orlando and stayed the night - got back last night! Ahhhh....how refreshing it was to get outta Dodge and away from all the stress here. :)

Hugs to you,
Carol

I really like Jodie Foster...she is a fabulous actress and conducts herself so well.  I like that she keeps her private life very private.  A class act all around.
