In honor of Mother's Day, google has re-designed their logo again into this beauty...
Actor/dancer Fred Astaire was born today in 1889. Many know him as the talented man who danced with Ginger Rogers, although he has starred with a few other well known actress. He appeared with Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, and also with Judy Garland in the Easter Parade.
Max Steiner would be celebrating a birthday today (1888). An Austrian composer, he has worked on films such as Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Gone with the Wind, King Kong--the list goes on. He was even know as Bette Davis' favorite film composer.
In case any of you were curious I thought I would point out that the new STAR TREK has became the number 1 movie of the weekend earning $76.5 million just this weekend. I myself am not a Trekkie, but I thought that was too amazing not to mention. (It even beat out THE DARK KNIGHT in earnings!) So, to all you Trekkie's out there--apparently it is a good movie.
