Biography of the Day: Peter Lorre.
American motion-picture actor Peter Lorre, who first achieved international fame as the psychotic child murderer in the German classic film M (1931; directed by Fritz Lang), was born in Rózsahegy, Hungary, this day in 1904.

Also, on this day in 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia. This day sometime between 1989 and 1991 was the original planned wedding date for me and my previous husband; I remember that he immediately identified this when the date was suggested (being the delightfully trivia-packed military history buff that he was), and I thought that the anniversary of a failed invasion was probably not an auspicious time for a wedding. Of course, those plans ended up canceled and new plans were made later.
