DID YOU KNOW…?

• Henry Fielding’s picaresque novel The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling, was adapted into a 1963 film starring Albert Finney. Finney was also nominated for his performance; in fact, the film was the most honored of the year with ten nominations and four wins.
• Michelle McNamara’s true crime book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, about the serial killer she referred to as the Golden State Killer, was published almost two years after her accidental death at the age of 46 (McNamara’s widower, Patton Oswalt, worked with her publisher to complete the book). Two months later, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. was charged with 13 murders in connection with the case.
• In 10 Things I Hate About You, Julia Stiles’s character Kat Stratford is inspired by Katherina (Kate), the heroine of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.
• In the team’s inaugural season (1894), the Detroit Tigers were known as “Wolverines and Creams”.
