Ingrid Bergman may be the most famous example. She was a beautiful actress who appeared in standout films such as Gaslight and Casablanca. When she died on her birthday, she became a beloved symbol of Swedish and American cinema.
John Banner was another foreign-born actor who died on his birthday. He escaped persecution by the Nazis in Austria only to end up playing one in Hogan’s Heroes. It made him a TV icon who the world will always miss.
A few celebrities taken by the birthday effect began their careers as musicians. Mike Douglas was a singer before he was a classic talk show host. Edna May Oliver toured with an orchestra before she was an actress. Gertrude Astor played the saxophone and trombone on a riverboat.
What most of these celebrities had in common were their prolific careers. Ingrid is tied for the most Oscars earned by any female actress with Meryl Streep. Gertrude Astor appeared in hundreds of silent movies and several “talkies” as well. The rest of them used their lives to follow their passions, even if they weren’t able to do so for as long as they thought.
Not all of them had children to carry on their names. John Banner was married but never had a child. Gertrude Astor was never married and her godson was her only surviving family member. Their fans and costars will have to keep their memory alive.

Ingrid Bergman said that after their scenes Bogart would retreat to his trailer. She didn’t really interact with each other, but when they had to perform the spark turned on! That’s what I call superb acting!

Ingrid Bergman’s performance in Casablanca cemented her as one of the Greatest Actresses Ever. Humphrey Bogart was just as memorable opposite her. Michael Curtiz shot the Movie 🎥 Brilliantly! The supporting cast was one for the ages as well…the Music…even the opticals made this film extraordinary IMHO…but Ingrid Bergman mesmerized audiences with her performance! ❤

Mike Douglas, I watched his show every day in the 1960’s. It was the first daytime talk show. Great memories. Was he married and have children. I remember that popular song.

Fascinating to learn about John Banner. Mike Douglas's song "The Men In My Little Girl's Life" was often used for the Daddy -Daughter dance at many wedding receptions.

HOGAN'S HEROES was canceled in 1971, not 1965 as you state. John Banner once said "If the show had been set in a concentration camp that would have been tasteless, but not in a POW camp". Banner actually played a copy of the role of the dumb and fun -loving German Sergeant who appears in STALAG 17, with Bill Holden.

[@tj921able]

[@phil4208]

I loved Ingrid Bergman , her movie roles were so believable, I still think the classic movies are better than today's, rip Ingrid, tiger woods was on the Mike Douglas show as a little boy , when I was stationed at ft Lee VA me and my buddy were golfing at the base course in 1982 , a little kid and huge man were practicing on the pitching green , we didn't want to held up by some little kid so we asked the father if we could tee off first , 2 balls were hit on our heels the 1st 9 , at the club house we asked the attendant who was that long hitter he said that kid and his father were on talk shows and his name was tiger woods , he was 6 and kicked my ass , he was that good ,
