I'm happily amused that I seem to have added these important birthdays as permanent annual reminders to my desktop calendar:
Margaret Dumont
Arlene Francis
Bela Lugosi
I include a photo here of a pendant that belonged to my mom or grandma. Does it look familiar?

She was so important to me and so iconic of the 70s, I featured a reporter character based on her in my 70s-film parody. Perhaps not the most prestigious honor, but the one I could make.

An answer in today's New Yorker puzzle is "polymaths." (I assume that's the answer. I got frustrated at not knowing many other answers and quit the puzzle in a fit of pique.) Later, during my exercise regimen, listening to Amy Poehler interview Natasha Lyonne, they repeated spoke of polymaths.
