All hail the lettuce - what a victory.

Was inducted to the country music hall of fame, but was to ill to attend the induction ceremony.

Lettuce is looking well.

It’d be interesting, in the same way that having an entire pool cue pushed up your cock would be interesting.

I don't get where the confusion comes from, his Date of Birth is well known. In fact, here he is in 2020, thanking a friend for wishing him a happy birthday on 22nd November!

She engineered it. She has plans. Vile malevolent snake.

Annoyingly Wikipedia is scrubbing DOBs from lots of articles that you instead have to find via Google. I've encountered that with more small-name actors than I care to remember.

His social media handlers mention he was “too ill with the flu” to attend the ceremony. Photo included. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj6eS8KgV8o/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Herbert Hoover died on this day 58 years ago, aged 90. At the age of two, Hoover became sick with croup, and was momentarily thought to have been dead before his uncle resuscitated him. Hoover initially started off as a geologist, and eventually got a job as a mine inspector. Hoover would eventually climb the corporate ladder, and was given a job position in China, where he helped develop more mines. Hoover quit in 1908 after his bosses were sued, but would later found the Zinc Corporation in Australia (ultimately, Hoover was based in London), and would have a net worth of $4 million by 1914. Once World War I broke out, Hoover and other American businessmen working in London established a committee attempting to return 100,000 Americans stuck in Europe. Hoover would oversee the operation, distributing food to those who could not escape. In 1917, president Woodrow Wilson appointed Hoover as the head of the Food Administration. Hoover would continue to give relief in the aftermath of the war. Hoover was appointed as Secretary of Commerce by Warren G. Harding in 1921, and in 1928, sought the presidency, winning the Republican primary in a landslide and defeating Al Smith in the electoral vote 444-87. In October 1929, the stock market crashed, and many Americans blamed Hoover for the ensuing Great Depression- by 1932, one in four Americans were unemployed. Hoover was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 election, whose New Deal policies helped the economy rebound. Hoover would remain active in politics until his death- his post-presidency lasted 31 years and would not be surpassed until 2012 (Jimmy Carter). Hoover attended every Republican National Convention until 1960. Hoover was the second American president to become a nonagenarian, after John Adams. Hoover had a growth removed from his colon in 1962, and died of intestinal bleeding two years later. His last known words were in written form- a humorous get well message to former president Harry S. Truman, after Truman fell in his bathroom: "Bathtubs are a menace to ex-presidents for as you may recall a bathtub rose up and fractured my vertebrae when I was in Venezuela on your world famine mission in 1946. My warmest sympathy and best wishes for your recovery."

Tom Schulman, the notable American screenwriter who won the Academy Award for his screenplay for the excellent and famous film "Dead Poets Society", is 72 (some sources say 71) today. Schulman's work was based on his time at the Montgomery Bell Academy and the unforgettable character of John Keating was inspired by one of his teachers. Tom Schulman decided to adapt this script to literature due to the great educational values transmitted. Schulman is also the screenwriter of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "Medicine Man" and "What About Bob?". Thomas Newman, the extraordinary and versatile American composer and conductor, the son of Alfred Newman who won the Academy Award for Best Original Score nine times, who made his debut as a film composer in 1984 with "Reckless", is 67 today. Thomas Newman already has a successful career behind him, he has scored numerous famous films including "Fried Green Tomatoes", "Up Close & Personal", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Horse Whisperer", "American Beauty", "The Green Mile", "Road to Perdition", "Finding Nemo", "Little Women", "The Help", "The Iron Lady", "Skyfall", "Bridge of Spies", "Spectre" and "1917". Despite his enormous talent, Thomas Newman is the most nominated living composer to have never won an Oscar.

This was a bit of a surprise. As @arghton said 22 November 1955 can be widely found (making him 66 now; the DDP gives that as his dob too), but on a quick search, I can't find the source of the date or confirm it. As the Committee had a hit with one BBC presenter in Turnbull, Alagiah is an obvious choice to follow up with.
