‘’MR. TELEVISION”

Milton Berle (Mendel Berlinger)
(July 12, 1908 – March 27, 2002)

Milton Berle’s career as an entertainer spanned over eight
decades, first in silent films and on stage as a child actor,
then in radio, movies and television. As the host of NBC‘s
Texaco Star Theatre (1948–1953), he was the first major
American television star and was known to millions of
viewers as "Uncle Miltie" and "Mr. Television" during the
first Golden Age of Television. He was honored with two
stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work in both
radio and TV.

On this day in 1964, the strongest earthquake in American
history, measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale, hit southern
Alaska, creating a deadly tsunami. Some 131 people were
killed and thousands injured.

The massive earthquake had its epicenter about 12 miles
north of Prince William Sound. Approximately 300,000 s
quare miles of U.S., Canadian, and international territory
were affected.

Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, sustained the most
property damage, with about 30 blocks of dwellings
and commercial buildings damaged or destroyed in
the downtown area. Fifteen people were killed or
fatally injured as a direct result of the three-minute
quake, and then the ensuing tsunami killed another
110 people.
