It's another Betty White Day today!
There's a huge cornucopia of birthdays today, including the remarkable and beloved Betty White, Our Patron Saint of purring Eartha Kitt, and (Lord) David Lloyd George, Muhammad Ali, Vidal Sassoon, Jim Carrey, Paul Young, Calvin Harris, Shari Lewis, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Neville Shute, Andy Kaufman, Susanna Hoffs, Mack Sennett, Chris Montez, Benjamin Franklin, James Earl Jones, Michelle Obama, Tiësto, (Lord) Keith Joseph, (Sir) Compton Mackenzie, Al Capone, Shabba Ranks, Richard Hawley and Sheree North, and today marks the centenary of the birth of Moira Shearer...
...but it is to our most regularly-featured Patron Saint (of Hair-Swishing?), stalwart employer of every safety gay in France, and (another) "birthday girl" Dalida to whom we turn for respite today, dear reader! Enjoy...
Dalida était l’une des plus grandes de toutes les divas!
I was so happy when she stopped dragging around the fox tails. Great rhinestone cowboys. Betty White was incredible.
ReplyDeleteDalida looked fabulous in fur, feathers, fouff and faff! If only she'd had Betty White's survival instincts... Jx
Delete"Lloyd George knew my father..." And my Dad did know the fellow who was PM
ReplyDeleteWhat an impressive line-up of birthdays!
Father knew Lloyd George? Heavens, your family is a Music Hall song! Jx
DeletePS There must have been a load of shagging going on in April in this lot's families.
Cheers! I love birthday celebrations, sweetpea! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHa! Are you like our own dear Royals, and have one "real" birthday and another "official birthday" when the weather's better for a parade? Jx
DeleteWay to short a life.
ReplyDeleteSo true. She was so beautiful, so talented, and yet so very, very troubled... Jx
DeleteDalida is immortal and the Diva of Divas
ReplyDeleteD'accord! Jx
