Today, we’re starting a daily posting of interesting facts in the history of our culture’s art. These (almost-365) stories come from the worlds of film, literature, music, visual art, theater, dance, and pop culture. Some are wacky and funny; others are emotional and beautiful. All can be found on our tab On This Day… as well as on Instagram and our Facebook page.
