1. Happy birthday, Dean Martin!

Born June 7, 1917, in Steubenville, Ohio, as Dino Paul Crocetti. He was never a great dramatic actor, but I love his smooth, laid-back style. If you've never seen the original Ocean's Eleven, it's fun to compare to the remake, and to see a snapshot in time of Las Vegas in the 1960s.
