DID YOU KNOW…?

  • The Great Blizzard of 1888 swept the Eastern seaboard March 11-14, 1888, depositing as much as 58 inches of snow, with wind gusts of 70 MPH producing snowdrifts up to 50 feet high. Infrastructure – bridges, rail lines, telegraph cables – all failed, bringing transportation and communication to a halt for two days. As a result, city governments began planning underground subway systems that would be unsusceptible to severe weather. In 1897, Boston became the first city to open an underground subway, the Tremont Street subway (colloquially known as the “T”).
  • After co-starring in The Godfather Part II but never appearing together onscreen, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino reunited in 1995 for Michael Mann’s crime thriller Heat – but only share one scene.
  • Actor Fredric March won his first of two Academy Awards for 1931’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
  • Meryl Streep earned her 14th of 21 Oscar nominations for The Devil Wears Prada, in which she played fictional fashion editor Miranda Priestly.
  • In 1847, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman accepted to medical school in the US. The dean and faculty left the decision up to her male cohorts, all 150 of whom said yes while simultaneously assuming her application was a joke.
