Unfamous birthday today is of Mathew M, the son of Elaine (qv) who is eighteen today. Happy birthday, Mathew. You might want a pint or two of that stuff called beer. It's said to be very nice.
Today is the day of a very great author and of one of my childhood favourite authors.
In 1812 was born Charles Dickens
In 1867 was born Laura Ingalls "Little House on the Prairie" Wilder 
Other famous birthdays/dates are:
1478 Sir Thomas More lawyer/lord chancellor of England/saint
1917 Dick Emery, England, actor/comedian. He was sort of occasionally funny.
1924 Hattie Jacques - from the Carry On Films and Eric Sykes' televison series. Part of the TV wallpaper of the Seventies
1943 Peter "Oscar and Lucinda" Carey
1943 Gareth "Nescafe" Hunt. Another part of 70s/80s TV wallpaper
1945 Pete Postlethwaite very talented and extremely ugly actor
1960 Steve Bronski - not very famous but gave his name to a truly excellent Eighties band, Bronski Beat
1962 Eddie Izzard, another comedian I do not find as funny as I ought to ducks
