Happy Birthday to One Nifty Gent

William Brian de lacy Aherne was born on May 2, 1902, in King's Norton Worcestershire, England, UK.  Such a nifty name, and birthplace.  Mr. Aherne appears to have been a nifty gentleman, as well.  May I share what I think is a rather nifty quote of Mr. Aherne's.

"Brilliant actress though she is, surely nobody but a mother could have loved Bette Davis at the height of her career.  Evidently I failed to make my admiration of her clear, however, because in her lively and self-revealing book, "The Lonely Life," she says I looked at her with loathing."  

He didn't look all that bad either.
