I'll personally delete the account for anyone spoiling the surprise!

On 22 June these two historical events took place:
On this day in 1969, Judy Garland was found dead in London, locked in her bathroom. The star who made her debut in the Wizard of Oz at the age of 17, had taken a lethal dose of sleeping pills. The coroner refused to return a verdict of suicide, the implication being that Garland had increased the dose without realising the consequences.
Another Hollywood icon, Fred Astaire, died this day in 1987.

As for Fred Astaire, I own most of the movies he made with
Ginger Rogers. They are wonderful to watch when you want
