Here is a sign-off from then-independent station KTXH-TV in Houston as of April 1984 (nailed it down to the week based on commercials, those are coming soon). This features the station's original Grant Broadcasting stylized "20" logo, which was solidified in to a gold color later that year when Gulf Broadcasting took over.

Although Groucho Marx was the third-oldest son of "stage mama" Minnie Marx, he was the first to take the plunge into show business. With his mother's blessing, the 14-year-old Marx took a job as a boy soprano with a group called the LeRoy Trio. This first engagement was nearly his last when, while on tour, he was stranded in Colorado and had to work his way back home. Marx was willing to chuck the theater and pursue his dream of becoming a doctor, but the undaunted Minnie organized...

Katharine Hepburn "I'm a personality as well as an actress," Katharine Hepburn once declared. "Show me an actress who isn't a personality, and you'll show me a woman who isn't a star."
