Perry Como was a great singer who modeled his voice and style after Bing Crosby as most male singers of the 1930s and 1940s did. He worked with Crosby on several occasions. I've got to say Happy Birthday to Pope John Paul. George Strait is a fine country singer. Frank Capra was a fabulous director with many great movies, including my favorites "Broadway Bill" (1934) which he remade as the Bing Crosby vehicle "Riding High" in 1950. And Happy Birthday, too, to Reggie Jackson and Brooks Robinson.

It is hard to believe that Pernell Roberts is "suddenly" 80 years old. I've always admired the two baseball players and Pope John Paul, who had a sense of humor. Margot Fonteyn was a joy to watch. Chow Yun Fat is also a favorite of mine.

This was a fun hub for today!

I have to echo Patty's comment about Pernell Roberts suddenly turning 80 years old! Unbelievable. Ah, they grow up so fast.

My maternal grandmother's name was Cartwright. When I was little, I used to wonder if we were related to Ben and the boys. :)

Froggy, thanks for informing me of error which has been fixed!;)

William..You are a bubble of great knowledge!! i just wish i knew and could remember lots of the information and nuggets of tit-bits you always have on hand which contribute really well to these daily articles.. ty;)

Patty, I was very young at the time and was invited to meet the pope when he made his first trip to the UK...when i saw him come off the plane i thought he had fallen over, until i was informed he was kissing the ground!..

Shirley. Time sure does fly by, and the saying that time flies when your having fun is definitely not true!! ..It looks that it could always be a possibility you are related one way or another! maybe some research is needed to find out for sure!:)
