1971:James Caan and Billy Dee Williams star in the ABC made-for-TV movie Brian's Song, a moving story of Chicago Bears teammates Brian Piccolo and Gayle Sayers.

1940:
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, best known as the stars of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy, are married in Greenwich, Conn. The successful show-biz couple will divorce in 1960.

1977:
In a rather surreal musical moment, David Bowie joins Bing Crosby to sing the medley "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" during Crosby's last Christmas special. The iconic crooner Crosby had hosted the holiday program on radio and television annually since 1936, but died at age 74 a month before Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas airs this day on CBS.
