One of the things I love is history, and I love finding out trivia about my hometown of Baltimore (Maryland, that is, and not Baltimore, Ireland or Baltimore, Ohio). You know the town I'm talking about…it's the one where the Mayor made national headlines when he jumped into the harbor as a publicity stunt…the town that has one of the highest murder rates in the USA, and spawned two TV-series that reflect that fact from ex-Sun Paper reporter David Simon, Homicide: Life On The Street and The Wire, respectively…it's where Jada Pinkett-Smith went to high school… where John Waters makes all of his pictures and Barry Levinson makes only some of his pictures…
Yeah. That Baltimore…
A few years ago I got curious about a
statue that is across the street from the Baltimore Museum of Art, so I did a little digging and discovered that the man who posed for the figures was once a
Hollywood movie star.
