One of America’s best-loved presidents, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, was born into a politically and socially prominent
family in Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. He was the first
American president to be born and then serve in the 20th
century.
On this day in 1945, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt passed
away partway through his fourth term in office, leaving Vice
President Harry S. Truman in charge of a country still fighting
the Second World War and in possession of a weapon of
unprecedented and terrifying power.
In the afternoon of April 12, 1945, in Warm Springs, Georgia,
while sitting for a portrait by Elizabeth Shoumatoff, Roosevelt
said: "I have a terrific headache." He then slumped forward in
his chair, unconscious, and was carried into his bedroom.
The president’s attending cardiologist, Howard Bruenn, had
diagnosed a massive intracerebral hemorrhage.

On February 10, 2014, Shirley Temple Black, who as a child in the
1930s became one of Hollywood’s most successful stars, died at
her Woodside, California, home at age 85. The cause of death,
according to her death certificate released on March 3, 2014,
was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Temple was a lifelong cigarette smoker but avoided displaying
her habit in public because she did not want to set a bad example
for her fans.
The plucky, curly-haired performer sang, danced and acted in
dozens of films by the time she was a teen; as an adult, she
gave up making movies and served as a U.S. diplomat.
Born on April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica, California, Temple began
taking dance lessons when she was three. In 1932, she was
discovered by an agent and cast in a series of short films called
Baby Burlesks. Her career took off in 1934, when she appeared
in the film Stand Up and Cheer.
