You are 18 years and 11 days old today.

When Smith Reynolds, husband of Libby Holman and an heir to the R.J. Reynolds tobacco fortune, was the exact same age as you, he married textile heiress Anne Cannon in a real-life shotgun wedding. Reynolds and Cannon, caught in an "intimate embrace," were forced to tie the knot on this day by Cannon's gun-toting father. That was in 1929. He died from a gunshot wound to the head 2 years, 232 days later, in 1932.

Thomas Chatterton was more than 3 months younger than you when he died of suicide by arsenic on August 24, 1770. He was a poet and literary forger who claimed to have found the work of a fifteenth-century monk. He died 221 years before you were born.

Ritchie Valens was more than 3 months younger than you when he died in an airplane accident on February 3, 1959. He was a Mexican-American rock 'n' roll star of the late 1950s. He died 33 years before you were born.

That's the same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly. We need to start putting our rock n' roll people in separate airplanes.

To Steel:

YEAH!! Show that Crocket how it's done! Serves him right for killing a bear at the age of three.

He was a composer famous for his inventive song cycles and experiments with counterpoint and harmony who died at the age of 31 years, 293 days of typhoid fever or mercury poisoning.
