I always loved hearing and saying his last name.
1905 Eddie "Rochester" Anderson - Actor (Jack Benny Show, Birth of the Blues, Gone with the Wind)
He was such a good side-kick to Jack Benny. I think they had great respect for each other.
1933 Robert Blake - Actor (Baretta, In Cold Blood, Pork Chop Hill, PT 109, Our Gang, Red Ryder)
He played a "type", but he was always good. He was Little Beaver in Red Ryder. Too bad he ended up killing his wife and getting away with it - and I believe he did kill her.
1961 James Gandolfini – Actor (The Sopranos, All the King's Men, The Last Castle, The Mexican, 8MM, Get Shorty)
I only remember seeing him in The Sopranos and he was excellent. He died so young.
