All week long I had been planning this post so wouldn't you know that I got busy and forgot to post it until after their big days? But better late than never, so Happy Belated Birthday to Dionne Warwick and Connie Francis, who each celebrated their big day on Saturday the 12th. [[Actually I am only about 10 minutes late by East Coast time.)

As you know, there can sometimes be discrepancies about a star's age, but my most reputable sources say Dionne was 81 and Connie 84. And of course worth mentioning is that December 12th was also the birthday of the late and great Frank Sinatra, who would be over 100 if he were still with us.
