January 15


Goodman Ace (15 January 1899 – 25 March 1982), born Goodman Aiskowitz, was an American humourist, working as a radio writer and comedian, a television writer, and a magazine columnist.
Ace's broadcasting career happened by accident, after one night of bridge and a following night of absenteeism, by the show that followed his wry movie reviews on a Kansas City radio station.
"Goody" (as he was known to friends) is not always the most recognisable writer/performer of his era by today's reader or listener, but his low-keyed, literate drollery and softly tart way of tweaking trends and pretenses made him one of the most sought-after writers in radio and television after he turned his attention to writing alone.


Margaret O'Brien (born January 15, 1937) is an American filmtelevision and stage actress. Beginning a prolific career as a child actress in feature films at the age of four, O'Brien became one of the most popular child stars in cinema history, and was honored with a Juvenile Academy Award as the outstanding child actress of 1944. In her later career, she appeared on television, on stage, and in supporting film roles.
