Oh, Cold, being born in 1973 is no excuse for not knowing: Hugh Beaumont played Beaver Cleaver’s dad; Patty Andrews was (is) the perky blonde member of The Andrews Sisters; Edgar Bergen was a famous ventriloquist (and Candy’s dad). C’mon, folks, a little cultural literacy here! ---

Oop, well, OK, you’re off the hook. Except about Patty Andrews. No one in the WORLD managed to escape the sound of the Andrews Sisters, like 'em or not! Dutch, huh? Cool. Is Holland as pretty as its postcards? ---

According to the Famous Birthdays website, famous people born on my birthdate, March 26, are: Marcus Allen (1960), Curtis Sliwa (1954), Teddy Pendergrass (1950), Martin Short (1950), Vicki Lawrence (1949), Steven Tyler (1948), Diana Ross (1944), Bob Woodward (1943), Erica Jong (1942), James Caan (1939), Alan Arkin (1934), Leonard Nimoy (1931), Sandra Day O’Connor (1930), Tennessee Williams (1911), Robert Frost (1874). Some pretty good company, on the whole. Proving that God has a sense of humor: a U.S. Supreme Court justice and a (some say) vigilante with the same birthday! Though I knew already who most of these people are, I wouldn’t have known who Teddy Pendergrass and Steven Tyler are except for this little ego exercise (not my kind of music, you know). ---

My birthday 11/27/66 is shared with PLdennison and Phouka here. Good crowd if you ask me. Irony of ironies is that Robin Givens is also on this date and her ex husband is Mike Tyson. His birthdate is 6/30/?. Same date as my old boyfriend. Isn’t it ironic. No one famous is born on this date in 1966. So, I guess it’s up to me…or Phil or Phouka. ---
