Great information. I did know it was Cher's birthday today but thought I was the only one in the world left who did! Happy Birthday Cher - and everyone else whose birthday is today!

Jimmy Stewart was a top actor for many years. He was fabulous in many movies, including "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "It's a Wonderful Life." His fourth nomination as "Best Actor" was for "Harvey," a great role that Bing Crosby had turned down. I liked Cher and Geoge Gobel and Bobby Mercer. Nice video of Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin.

Dave Thomas, a local boy, yay! He was one of the McKenzie brothers of famed, 'Strange Brew'. Thanks to those boys, everybody around the globe now knows that we Canucks all say, "eh?" and wear toques. That's knitted hats to my American friends.

Is there anything about Bing Crosby that William F. Torpey doesn't know? Did Bing wear tighty whiteys or boxers?

Another great hub, Compu. Looking forward to the next one, these birthday hubs are a lot of fun! :)

I don't know about tighty whiteys, Shirley, but Bing's second wife, Kathryn, said this: "People who didn't know thought Bing had difficulty expressing affection. Not at all. As I was to learn much later, the secret was in that top button on the pajamas. If it was fastened, it was going to be a quiet read in bed and lights out at 10 p.m. after chaste prayers. If it was unbuttoned, however, watch out."
