446th birthday
Here is a recently discovered painting believed to be of William Shakespeare (1564-1616). April 23rd is traditionally celebrated as his birthday. You can compare it here with the usual dull portrait they include in all the schoolbooks and read the story (founded?) of how the identification was made.

Oh, so old. It's bad enough being 68.
I wouldn't know.
