Happy Birthday to

Zambian actress Thandie Newton (1972)

On Wednesday September 26th, Gloria Estefan will go to her fans in the Bronx for an in-store autograph signing at Starbucks in the Kingsbride Plaza (225th and Broadway, Bronx NY).

Gloria Estefan is paying tribute to the sounds and spirit of her native Cuba on her next album and she has invited countrymen like actor Andy Garcia and trumpet great Arturo Sandoval to join her. The Florida-based singer, who left Cuba as a child and has become a fierce and vocal opponent of her homeland's dictator Fidel Castro, has recorded her new album, 90 Milas, in her native tongue.

Happy Birthday to hoops star Lamar Odom (1979), Zambian actress Thandie Newton (1972), actor Ethan Hawke (1970), actress Lori Singer (1957), Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval (1949), Eagle Glenn Frey (1948), actress Sally Field (1946), director Mike Nichols (1931), baseball player Walter Johnson (1887), and patriotic composer John Philip Sousa (1854).
