Edward Kennedy was born on February 22 as well. This is also the day that Andy Warhol died in 1987 at age 58. What else, you ask? Well… in 1934 “It Happened One Night” starring Claudette Colbert & Clark Gable premiered at Radio City Music Hall, Woolworth’s opened its first store (1879), Tennessee made slavery illegal (1865), and Spain sold Florida to the U.S. for 5 milion bucks. Oh, and one more – in 1956 on 2/22, Elvis Presley entered the music charts for the 1st time with Heartbreak Hotel.
