Marion Ross turns 92 today. Most famous as the mom in Happy Days, she had quite a few character roles in her younger days. Here's a picture of her in a 1962 episode of Route 66, with another co-star who would be most famous for his appearance in the legendary NIght of the Lepus if not for an appearance in a short-lived series with a long afterlife...
You gotta get one of those over-the-air antennas to realize just how many Westerns DeForest Kelley played in before he hit it big. I should not have been surprised, but I was.
No birthday, but Woody Allen did not die. He's trending on Twitter, though! *goes and investigates why*
Out of town and missed this one: Gordon Lightfoot - turned 82 on Nov 17th. "I'll Tag Along" and "If You Could Read My Mind" - performed this past July 1st, on Canada Day. EDIT: Bob Dylan once said: "Whenever I hear a Gordon Lightfoot song, it's like I wish it would last forever".
Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda’s condition has improved while he remains hospitalized in Southern California. https://t.co/MXUWDSR0Kp— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) November 25, 2020 93, with heart issues, but not COVID.
No idea these guys were still around (for some reason I thought they were older), and apparently still touring: Richard "Dick" Smothers - 81 (November 20, 1939) was one-half of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour . His brother, Tommy Smothers - the half w/o the mustache, will turn 84 on Feb, 2 (I'm posting that now because I'm sure I'll miss his, too.)

Wow. 1932. So, I had to look up Downtown. I lived in England from 73-76 and at the end of my stay there it seemed like Downtown was the new hit. I heard it all the time. I had no no idea that song came out in 1964! Just the wrong decade to me.
Im pleased to remind us all that coffee achiever Cicely Tyson turms 97 this week. She played an old lady in the 1970s and was married to Miles Davis. That will be all.
I randomly started thinking about Kenny G. Back when I was a kid, I loved smooth jazz/.new age. It's not anywhere close to his birthday, but he still does exist, something I never realized. If he dodges COVID until June 5th, he'll be 65. Retirement age!
Today is Dr. Anthony Fauci’s 80th birthday. With a brilliant scientific mind and a trustworthy voice over the last 9 months, Dr. Fauci has been a leader through the #COVID19 pandemic. Happy birthday, Dr. Fauci! 🎊 pic.twitter.com/rgsy86PqpA— Billie Jean King (@BillieJeanKing) December 24, 2020 80.
Out of town and missed this: Jimmy Van Eaton - 83 (12/23/1937) Known as Jimmy Van Eaton or J. M. Van Eaton, is an American rock and roll drummer, singer and record producer, best known for his recordings as the drummer in sessions with Jerry Lee Lewis and others at Sun Records in the 1950s.
Larry Storch - 98 (Jan 8, 1923) Probably best know as Cpl Agarn on F Troop, but also voiced characters in various films and TV shows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Storch Absolutely, positively NO idea he was still alive.
