1920 Mario Puzo – US novelist (The Godfather, The Fortunate Pilgrim, The Sicilian, Omerta) and screen playwright (The Godfather series, Earthquake, Superman: The Movie, The Cotton Club)

He wrote some great novels and movies. The Godfather was one of the best movies of all times.







1937 Linda Lavin - US stage and screen actress (Broadway Bound, Alice, Barney Miller, Room for Two)

From what I understand, when Polly Holliday joined the cast of Alice as Flo it became almost unbearable to work on the series. She was so hard to work with that she almost ended the show because no one wanted to work with her. I don't know why she wasn't just fired.
