Mine Sorry about the size.







1917 Leo Gorcey - Actor (Bowery Buckaroos, Here Come the Marines, 'Neath Brooklyn Bridge, Smuggler's Cove)

If I remember correctly, Bela Lugosi was in several of the Bowery Boys movies. I know he was in Smuggler's Cove.







1925 Tony Curtis - Actor (Some Like It Hot, Houdini, The Boston Strangler, Spartacus, The Great Race, Taras Bulba, The Persuaders, The Mirror Crack’d) His daughter is actress Jamie Lee Curtis. He was in the Perry Mason movie, The Case of the Grimacing Governor

He was in movies with two of my favorites. Marilyn Monroe and Natalie Wood. He was also in Operation Petticoat with Cary Grant. Great movie.







1899 Johann Strauss the Younger – Austrian composer (The Blue Danube)

He was a great composer. I'll never forget the sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey with the The Blue Danube.
