#BornThisDay: Renaissance Man, Michelangelo

“His statue of ‘David’ (1504) in Florence and his frescoes in The Vatican’s Sistine Chapel (1512), which took four years to complete, are among the most famous works of art in the world. ‘David’ is certainly the most famous naked man of all time, endlessly reproduced, yet most of his other works have had perhaps even greater impact on the world of Art.”

#BornThisDay: Actor, Catherine O’Hara

“Catherine O’Hara brings depth to many a shallow character. Schitt’s Creek’s Moira is an actor, an ex-soap star, who became a socialite, chairing major charity events around the world. O’Hara really carries this show. Her constant deadpan threats of suicide (“I need a bathtub and a very long extension cord”) are as hilarious as they are relentless. Her harried asides are delivered with the sort of timing only a comic genius could pull off.”
