> [@](#): > > _Mudshark wrote_ > I think Frank Sinatra was born on December 12, also, but I don’t know what year. 1. You also have Dickey Betts’ birthday. 🙂 And Dionne Warwick, Mekhi Phifer, Jennifer Connelly, Sammy Davis _Sr._ (funny considering the Sinatra thing), Edward G. Robinson (myah!), and Emerson Fittipaldi. Among others. I’m May 19, which gives me: Malcolm X Pete Townshend Andre the Giant Joey Ramone Johns Hopkins Peach Melba Mickey Newbury (writer of “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In,” Big Lebowski fans… also I’ve got 2 champion bowlers!) Dusty Hill Bill Laimbeer Nicole Brown Simpson (oops!) and Kevin Garnett. And here’s an interesting one: I’ve got Ho Chi Minh (to my Commie brother’s delight) AND Pol Pot! **Johnny Bravo** - May 25? That’s the birthday of the aforementioned Commie brother. You’ve also got Anne Heche (heh), and, on the more distinguished side, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Miles Davis. ---

Born: Charlton Heston & Susan Sarandon - talk about political schitzophrenia Died: Sherman Billingsley - My idol - I like to think I’m his reincarnated alter ego - not wealthy but with an eye for works. Janis Joplin rock singer - I was only 4 @ the time and my parents didn’t have and BB&THC LP’s in their collection so it didn’t mean much to me at the time. ---
