If you're a fan of Boston Legal, you'll love the performance by Candice Bergen - 'I'm Schmidt' - and you'll no doubt remember her wowing us all in Carnal Knowledge, Soldier Blue and The Wind and the Lion to name but three excellent films. She was born today in 1946 (impolite though it is to mention a lady's age). Looking at photographs of her today, she is still as gorgeous as ever and must (like Dorian Grey) have a picture of herself in the attic - it's the only explanation. All over the world men are still saying 'Wow!' and women are saying 'Cow!'.

Lorenzo il Magnifico (the Magnificent) died today in his native Florence back in 1492. Leader of the Medici clan (early Mafiosi) he was a great patron of the arts, employing (among others) the cream of Renaissance artists Fra Lippo Lippi, Fra Hippo Hippy, Fra Zippo Zippy and the Marx brothers.
