On November 14, 1941, Suspicion, a romantic thriller starring Cary
Grant and Joan Fontaine and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, made
its debut. The film, which earned a Best Picture Academy Award nomination and a Best Actress Oscar for Fontaine, marked the
first time that Grant, one of Hollywood’s quintessential leading
men, and Hitchcock, one of the greatest directors in movie history, worked together. The two would later collaborate on Notorious,
To Catch a Thief and North by Northwest.

Rutgers-Princeton football game of 1869, by William Boyd.

On November 6, 1869, Rutgers beat Princeton, 6-4, in the first
college football game. The game, played with a soccer ball
before roughly 100 fans in New Brunswick, New Jersey,
resembles rugby instead of today’s football.

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931)

Thomas Alva Edison, one of the most prolific inventors in
history, died of complications of diabetes in his home, 
in Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey.Edison was
buried behind the home. He was 84

Edison’s last breath is reportedly contained in a test tube
at The Henry Ford museum near Detroit. Ford reportedly
convinced Charles Edison to seal a test tube of air in the
inventor’s room shortly after his death, as a memento.

On October 16, 1958, Chevrolet began to sell a car-truck hybrid
that it calls the El Camino. Inspired by the Ford Ranchero, which
had already been on the market for two years, the El Camino
was a combination sedan-pickup truck built on the Impala body,
with the same “cat’s eye” taillights and dramatic rear fins. It was,
ads trilled, “the most beautiful thing that ever shouldered a load!”
“It rides and handles like a convertible,” Chevy said, “yet hauls
and hustles like the workingest thing on wheels.”

On October 16, 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy found
the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in Hollywood, California.

The studio, now known as the Walt Disney Company, has had
an oversized impact on the entertainment industry and is now
one of the largest media companies in the world.

A talented artist from a young age, Walt Disney drew cartoons
for various publications and became interested in cell animation
while working for the Kansas City Film Ad Company. After his
Laugh-O-Gram Studio went bankrupt in 1923, Walt moved to
Los Angeles, where Roy was recovering from tuberculosis.
