A very happy 72nd birthday to @Dan_Aykroyd of Ottawa, Canada! Aykroyd was my favorite among the original SNL cast and I got to interview him in 1982 shortly before I moved to NY to write for Cavett. He signed this great '77 SNL shot of himself as Nixon to @EricIdle's David Frost.

'Lucy, you spent what's supposed to be a holiday in a darkened room with 48 books about the French Revolution. Please tell me you're not thinking about writing a new book yourself. It's such hell when you do.'
4 new 4K transfers coming up: CRIMSON PEAK, then CRONOS, BLADE II and finally MIMIC all in the next year or so. I am done with the color timing of 3 out of the 4.

Absolutely devastated by this news. Richard was my hero when I was a standup. I was lucky enough to get to know him and he was the most wonderful man. So supportive and kind and truly one of the funniest people on the planet. You will be missed, my friend. https://t.co/NX4G9i39xX
For my North American friends, a reminder that devastating things are going to happen to Agatha Christie tomorrow night on @PBS. Here she is driving THAT CAR (with her surf board in the back, don't you love that?) (picture from the Christie Archives)

.agathachristie was the queen of mysteries 👑 🔎 But the greatest enigma she ever created? Herself.
Unravel the story with @Lucy_Worsley in the first of a three-part series tonight at 7 CT.
In 1903, Henry Ford’s lawyer was advised not to buy stock in Ford.
“The horse is here to stay,” he was told by a local bank president.
He bought $5,000 worth of stock and sold it in 1919 for $12.5 million.
