Trivia number 99

 

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

 

Scholars note that redheads have influenced history out of proportion to their numbers. Famous redheads include Roman emperor Nero, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, the ancient god of love Aphrodite, Queen Elizabeth I, Napoleon Bonaparte, Oliver Cromwell, Emily Dickinson, Antonio Vivaldi, Thomas Jefferson, Vincent Van Gogh, Mark Twain, James Joyce, Winston Churchill, Malcolm X, Galileo, and King David.  The last on for today is: Polls consistently list the kiss between Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant in the 1946 film Notorious as one of the sexiest kisses in cinematic history. Because the Hays Code allowed on-screen kisses to last only a few seconds, Alfred Hitchcock directed Bergman and Grant to repeatedly kiss briefly while Grant was answering a telephone call. The kiss seems to go on and on but was never longer than a few seconds.

 

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.

Aw yes James the recessive gene has indeed affected people and history.  Did not know of the code in Hollywood on kisses.  Quite a change from today.

Great info, James. I used to be a redhead, but now, well, not so much as it has "gone with the wind".

Have a great day

Don't remember that kiss so I guess it didn't leave a lasting impression with me.

Hi James,

Where there is a will there is a way to get around all the red tape in anything.

The rules were a lot different back in the day. BTW what day was it? LOL

Have a great day in Rogers my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Good morning James. Never knew all of those you listed were redheads. The kiss wasn't anything I remember but I'm not sure I saw that movie.

Okay, Now I know the rest of the story.

BTW, I was married to a redhead. All I can say is that she was a hottie and left me with a smile on my face. Too bad her Anger management problems killed the deal!

Wasn't Cary Grant gay? Or am I confusing him with somebody else? If not, you've got to wonder why this was the sexiest kiss between two people with zero attraction for each other.
