April 28 is the birthday of the putative inventor of Camembert cheese, MARIE HAREL (1761-1844).

"The invention of Camembert cheese was attributed to Marie Harel who would have benefited from the advice of a refractory priest, Abbot Charles-Jean Bonvoust, who was hidden in 1796-97 at the Manor of Beaumoncel where she worked. Supposedly, he was a native of Brie and passed along to Marie a recipe for a kind of cheese with a bloomy edible rind, such as was produced in his native area. In reality, Bonvoust came from Pays de Caux. This apocryphal story, for which there is no evidence[citation needed], is still often accepted as true.

Marie Harel did make Camembert cheese, according to local custom. She initiated a dynasty of entrepreneurial cheese makers who produced Camembert cheese on a large scale, notably her grandson Cyrille Paynel, born in 1817, who created a cheese factory in the commune of Le Mesnil-Mauger in Calvados."

April 28 is the birthday of American actor LIONEL BARRYMORE (1878-1954).

"I've got a lot of ham in me."

Barrymore "was an American actor of stage, screen and radio as well as a film director. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in A Free Soul (1931) and is known to modern audiences for the role of villainous Mr. Potter in Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life."

April 28 is the birthday of the Czech-American logician, mathematician, and analytic philosopher KURT GÖDEL (1906-1978). Gödel discovered the profound INCOMPLETENESS THEOREM.

"I don't believe in empirical science. I only believe in a priori truth."

"Considered along with Aristotle and Gottlob Frege to be one of the most significant logicians in history, Gödel had an immense effect upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when others such as Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead, and David Hilbert were using logic and set theory to investigate the foundations of mathematics, building on earlier work by the likes of Richard Dedekind, Georg Cantor and Gottlob Frege."

April 28 is the birthday of American jazz singer and pianist BLOSSOM DEARIE (1924-2009).

“She's the only white woman who ever had soul.” - Miles Davis

"Singer-pianist Blossom Dearie was a singular artist of fascinating contrasts. She was hipper than many of the men she played with and could swing just as hard. She had a 'good girl' look yet struggled with a husband (Bobby Jaspar) who was addicted to heroin. She was a jazzy cocktail-cabaret act but could arrange vocal and instrumental ensembles with the best of them. She was American yet as Parisian as frites. She seemed sweet but didn't hesitate to tear the heads off patrons who talked while she played or tried to take pictures. Dearie died in 2009—and yet so little is known about her." (Marc Myers)

April 28 is the birthday of French painter YVES KLEIN (1928-1962).

"I had left the visible, physical blue at the door, outside, in the street. The real blue was inside, the blue of the profundity of space, the blue of my kingdom, of our kingdom! The immaterialization of blue, the colored space that cannot be seen but which we impregnate ourselves with. A space of blue sensibility within the frame of the white walls of the gallery."

Klein "was a French artist and an important figure in post-war European art. He was a leading member of the French artistic movement of Nouveau réalisme founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany. Klein was a pioneer in the development of performance art, and is seen as an inspiration to and as a forerunner of minimal art, as well as pop art. He developed and used International Klein Blue."
