Betty Davis, Gregory Peck, Spencer Tracy -- What a trifecta! Peck was outstanding in "Gentlemen's Agreement," with some scenes shot in Darien, Conn., and "The Guns of Navarone.' Davis was excellent in all her movies; I liked "Dark Victory." Spencer Tracy was memorable in "Desk Set" and "Northwest Passage." Happy Birthday to Colin Powell, Gale Storm, Frank Gorshin and Booker T. Washington.

Mitch Pileggi! Mitch Pileggi! He was great as Skinner.

Now, has anyone seen old reruns of Gale Storm's 1950s TV series? - My Little Margie and later Oh! Susanah (like an early Love Boat).

Great Hub! A friend of mine died on April 5th the year after high school graduation, so this Hub was especially uplifting with some good memories. Thanks!

I'm delighted to see Melvyn Douglas and Michael Moriarty to this April 5th Celebrity Birthday list. Douglas played many important roles in some great movies, including "Captains Courageous" and "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse." I think Moriarty, who is best known for his role in "Law & Order," is a very good actor.
