Marlon Brando Jr. (April 3, 1924 – July 1, 2004)

Widely regarded as one of the greatest cinema actors of the 20th
century, Brando received numerous accolades throughout his
career, which spanned six decades, including two Academy
Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Cannes Film Festival
Award, three British Academy Film Awards, and an Emmy
Award.

Marlon Brando is credited with being one of the first actors to
bring the Stanislavski system of acting and method acting to
mainstream audiences.

He made his film debut playing a wounded G.I. in The Men
(1950) and won two Academy Awards for Best Actor for his
roles as a dockworker in the crime drama film On the
Waterfront (1954).

On March 18, 1852, in New York City, Henry Wells and William
G. Fargo join with several other investors to launch their
namesake business, today one of the world’s largest banks.

The discovery of gold in California in 1849 prompted a huge
spike in the demand for cross-country shipping. Wells and
Fargo decided to take advantage of these great opportunities.

After later mergers, the Wells Fargo Bank American
Trust Company—shortened to the Wells Fargo Bank
in 1962, became, and has remained, one of the biggest
banking institutions in the United States.      

   

On June 17, 1885, the dismantled Statue of Liberty, a gift of
friendship from the people of France to the people of America,

Atlantic Ocean in 350 individual pieces packed in more than
200 cases.

The copper and iron statue was reassembled and dedicated
the following year in a ceremony presided over by President
Grover Cleveland. It became known around the world as an
enduring symbol of freedom and democracy.
