29 DECEMBER IN HISTORY:
BORN:
1936 Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A. – Mary Tyler Moore, actress, primarily known for her role in The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966), and for her later role in the Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977) as Mary Richards, a single woman who worked as a local news producer in Minneapolis. (d. 2017).
1946 Hampstead, London, England – Marianne Evelyn Faithfull, award winning English singer, songwriter and actress whose career has spanned five decades. Turns 78.
EVENTS
1876 Ashtabula, Ohio, U.S.A. – In one of America’s worst railway accidents, a bridge over the Ashtabula River collapsed as an express train was passing over. The leading locomotive made it across the bridge, while the second locomotive and 11 carriages fell 23 metres into the river. This, and a fire ignited by heating stoves inside the wooden carriages, resulted in the loss of 92 lives.
A subsequent inquiry found the bridge had been poorly designed and built, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company was criticised for the way the carriages were heated and the Ashtabula Chief Fire Officer was censured for not extinguishing the fire.
1877 Melbourne, Victoria – A new word, “Larrikin” was added to the Australian vernacular to describe hoodlums involved in petty crime. Whereas the “Rough” of European cities avoided the locality of Police Courts, the Australian larrikin deliberately harassed police constables on the beat and crowded the Courts to display open interest in the outcome of trials involving friends
