We lost a LEGEND, Robert Duvall. An amazing actor who was in many of my favorite movies. One that will always stand out to me was his title role in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦 in 1997. He was nominated for best actor for that role & I still think he should have won!

Born 16th February 1949 - Lyn Paul, singer with The New Seekers, who had the 1972 UK No.1 single 'I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing' and a No 2 hit with "Beg Steal or Borrow." which was also the 1972 UK entry for Eurovision. I had a massive crush on her when I was first a teenager. #LynPaul
