It Happened on
March 31, 1889
The film Tomorrowland starring George Clooney gives us the impression that Gustave Eiffel is a very important member of Plus Ultra. Eiffel was a prolific engineer, but I haven’t come across him so far in my research.
Gustave does have something to tell you though…
He did make a big splash with the delivery of The Eiffel Tower, and so 9 months later, were born:
Born on January 05, 1890 (1890 - 1973) Mary MerrallEnglish actress whose career of over 60 years encompassed stage, film and television work. |
Born on January 05, 1890 (1890 - 1957) Cora WitherspoonAmerican stage and film character actress whose career spanned nearly half a century |
They are like two peas in a pod!

Born on November 07, 1872 (1872 - 1945) Lucille La VerneAmerican actress known for her appearances in early sound films, as well as for her triumphs on the American stage |
This is the conception day event of 2 people, who also made a difference in history
280 days after the event were BOTH born.
