On this day in...
1791 – The United States Bill of Rights becomes law when ratified by the Virginia General Assembly.
1891 – James Naismith introduces the first version of basketball, with thirteen rules, a peach basket nailed to either end of his school's gymnasium, and two teams of nine players.
1903 – The Wright brothers' first attempt to launch the Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, NC
1939 – Gone with the Wind receives its première at Loew's Grand Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
1961 – In Jerusalem, Adolph Eichmann is sentenced to death after being found guilty of 15 criminal charges, including charges of crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people and membership of an outlawed organization.
Births
1933 – Tim Conway, American actor and comedian
1949 – Don Johnson, American actor
1963 – Helen Slater, American actress
1972 – Rodney Harrison, American football player
1979 – Adam Brody, American actor
Another skimpy day with a funny old man, the star of Miami Vice, the dirtiest player in NFL history and a MTV darling. But I've chose to highlight the sister of Christian Slater best known for her work as Billie Jean in 'The Legend of Billie Jean.' Quite possibly the cheesiest movie of the 80s.
