1944 Danny Devito – Actor (Taxi, Romancing the Stone, Hoffa, Tin Men, Twins, Get Shorty, Ruthless People) and director (Throw Mama from the Train, The War of the Roses, Matilda) His wife is actress Rhea Perlman. He also played The Pengiun in the movie, Batman Returns

Along with Ed Asner, Danny Devito is one of the more recent unique actors. I keep noticing the Golden Age ones that I think are one of a kind and I keep missing ones that are in the here and now.

1968 NBC outraged football fans by cutting away from the dramatic end of a New York Jets-Oakland Raiders game to begin a TV special, Heidi, on schedule. Viewers were deprived of seeing the Raiders come from behind to beat the Jets 43-32

I remember hubby #1 was very upsent over this. I wanted to see Heidi, so I kept my mouth shut.
