11 MAY IN HISTORY:
EVENTS
1964 Hobart, Tasmania – A young carpenter from Moonah, and his 15 year old girlfriend escaped through a window of their car, after it plunged off Princes Wharf and sank.
1969 Hobart, Tasmania – The Liberal Party won office in Tasmania for the first time in 35 years. There was no Labor Government in office, State or Federally throughout Australia
BORN
1959 Arcadia, Michigan, U.S.A. – Harriet Quimby, early American aviatrix, movie screenwriter and the first woman to gain a pilot’s licence in the United States.
Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel after taking off from Dover and landing near Calais, France. News of her accomplishment was overshadowed in the media by that of the sinking of the Titanic so she received little attention.
She died later the same year in Massachusetts, U.S.A., when she and a passenger fell from a plane at 1,000 feet altitude. The plane glided to the ground and made a soft landing in mud.
1888 Tyumen, Russian Empire – Irving Berlin, American composer and lyricist, one of the greatest songwriters in history, with over 1,500 songs to his credit. His first hit, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, became world famous in 1911 and sparked an international dance craze in places as far away as Russia (d. 1989)
1941 Walker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England – Eric Burdon, founding member and lead vocalist of the rock band The Animals, and also the fink rock band War
1943 Liverpool, England – John Leslie Chadwick, bass guitarist from the 1960s pop group Gerry & the Pacemakers
1948 Hanover, Germany – Pam Ferris, television actress known for her roles as Ma Larkin in The Darling Buds of May, also as Aunt Marge in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. She had the role of Sister Evangelina in 36 episodes of the BBC drama series Call The Midwife.
