2003 Charles Bronson, age 81 – Actor (Death Wish series, The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, The Valachi Papers, Sandpiper, Raid on Entebbe, Miss Sadie Thompson, Battle of the Bulge, House of Wax, You're in the Army Now)

I've always liked him and his Twilight episode "Two" with Elizabeth Montgomery (they were the only ones in it) is one of my favorites. I know he was a WWII vet so I found this: Was drafted into the US Army in 1943 and assigned to the Air Corps. At first he was a truck driver, but was later trained as a bomber tail gunner and assigned to a B-29. He flew 25 missions and received, among other decorations, a Purple Heart for wounds incurred in battle. He was based at Guam, Tinian and Saipan.

1936 Donald Duck first appeared in comic strip form

One of my faves.
