Harry Houdini Chronology
Currently this is a brief chronological outline of the life history of Ehrich Weiss, later known as the world famous HarryHoudini. In mid 2002, I still consider it a work in progress, so keep checking back as other interesting facts and biographical information is added. I currently only have the timeline up to the date of Ehrich Weiss' death on October 31, 1926 - Halloween!!!

1874: Ehrich Weiss is born in Budapest Hungary, on March 24, according to records recently found there, though he claimed to have been born in Appleton, Wisconsin, on April 6th, of the same year...

1876: Theodore Weiss (younger brother of Erich / later to be know professionaly as 'Hardeen') is born in Appleton, Wisconsin, on February 29 . Wilhelmina Beatrice Rahner was born (the future Mrs. Bess Houdini)

FUNNY!!!

13. Aw shucks!

We all thank you! :hi:

[nytemare]

79. I went to high school with Wayne

We went to 2 different schools (a new one opened our Junior year). Was in many classes with him, and played clarinet and bass clarinet in the pit orchestra where he was the lead in "Bye Bye Birdie".

He was the one everybody said would make it. He is truly multi-talented, I would say almost a male version of Bette Midler, but not raunchy. Great guy!

[TheProphetess]

89. That is really cool!

He is very talented - I read an article once about his method of improvising on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and I was just blown away by how his mind works.

[nytemare]

91. He was a really nice guy

I am glad he did not compromise his style because it is not the most popular out there. He can sing, act, and do comedy, and he does not have to be a jerk to do it.

I am proud of him.

[chicagojoe]

3. I know that Frank Lloyd Wright

died on the very date of my birth (040959), but I don't know if I share a birthday with anyone famous.
