The most classically beautiful actress to ever grace the screen. She had the rare quality of being as elegant drenched in water or with a pie in her face, as she was with her willowy figure draped in long, shimmering gowns.

Anwar Sadat was elected President of Egypt in October 1970 and was reelected for a second term in October 1976. One of Sadat's major achievements was that he engineered and led the 1973 war in which the Egyptian army managed to cross the Suez Canal accomplishing a significant victory.

On this date in 1890, the Mormons outlawed Polygamy.

Polygamy was once a significant part of the practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and was one of the reasons Utah had to wait almost 50 years for statehood.

LDS Church history lists the first mention of the doctrine as 1831, when church founder Joseph Smith said he asked God why Abraham, Jacob and other biblical prophets were justified in having more than one wife. Smith took his first plural wife in 1841.

The first anti-polygamy law, was signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1862. The law barred polygamy in the territorial United States, disincorporated the church and limited its ownership of property.

In 1890, church president Wilford Woodruff issued the Manifesto, which stated the church no longer taught plural marriage, nor sanctioned any further marriages contrary to the laws of the land. While historians see the Manifesto as a response to political pressure, the church teaches it was divinely inspired. President Woodruff said God showed him that if it weren't adopted, the church would lose all its temples, and its leaders would go to prison.
