This Week's RED HOT Celebrity Birthday (2/1 - 2/7)
Eddie Bracken, best known for his role as Walley World owner Roy Walley in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION would be celebrating his 95th birthday on February 7th were it not for his death in 2002. The Montclair, NJ resident and star of radio, screen and stage, Bracken died several months after his wife/actress, Connie, passed away. if you make it to Heaven, be sure to check out Eddie and wife Connie in the highly entertaining BACK IN BRACKEN, a true favorite with the elderly deceased.

This Week's Separated At Birth (1/14 - 1/20)

* I don't usually use the same people in back-to-back weeks for this portion of my blog, but I saw the press coverage of former MLB pitcher Goose Gossage's nomination into the Hall of Fame moments after last week's "separated" was posted and carved in stone. Therefore, I must admit that this pairing, in my esteem, is greater than the Cowardly Lion's pairing with Mel Brooks. Eureka! Yes, it's true that a goose can in fact look like a lion! The similarity of their eyes is uncanny; surprisingly, the makeup applied to actor Bert Lahr's mouth area that gives him the appearance of a feline, is duplicated with Gossage's handlebar moustache.
