#Onthisday (15 May) in 1926, two of Britain's best screenwriters were born to a Jewish family living at 55 Croxteth Rd, Liverpool 8. Peter Shaffer won an Oscar for his most famous work, Amadeus (1984). His twin Anthony was best known for three '70s films: Sleuth, The Wicker Man + Death on the Nile.
