Happy Birthday — Dino Paul Crocetti (Dean Martin)
The coolest cat to ever come out of Steubenville, OH (possibly the coolest man who ever walked the earth) was born on this date in 1917. The son of a Neopoalitan barber who immigrated to the US, Dino worked at a cigar store that doubled as an illicit casino, learning to palm cards and deal blackjack. After seeing a Bing Crosby movie, Dino decided that he too wanted to be a crooner.
