Top Ten Movies of 1986:
Lady Gaga was born March 28, 1986
these are all good songs and they play them alot on the brew and i listen to that every where i go.
In 1986, actor Cary Grant died. He was known for such movies as; The Bishop's Wife (1947), Alice In Wonderland (1933), Wedding Present (1936), The Awful Truth (1937), and many others!! He was a great actor, I have actually seen many of his movies like The Bishop's Wife and it was amazing!!!
In 1986 Geoff Bodine won the Daytona 500 on a fuel mileage race against the famed Dale Earnhardt Sr. Geoff Bodine would go on to finish the season with 2 wins, 8 poles, 10 Top 5's, 15 Top 10's and a season rank of 8th overall.
January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger blew up killing the 7 crew members and Christa McAuliffe. She was a teacher from Concord, New Hampshire, she was the first member of the Teacher In Space Project. Challenger exploded because of a faulty oxygen ring.
Ronald Raegen was president during this time. The price of a first class stamp was 22 cents. Now a stamp is double that. The price for a gallon of gas was approximately 89 cents. I wish everything was still this cheap.
