Born June 7, 1917, in Steubenville, Ohio, Italian-American actor and singer Dino Paul Crocetti (later changed to his stage name Dean Martin) wouldn't learn English until he was five years old! Quite the rebel in his teenage years, Martin was known for talking back to his teachers, bootlegging liquor, and boxing. While playing the drums had always been a hobby for Dean, he wouldn't start performing until his twenties.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Jason Isbell has a new album out, “Weathervanes,” and he says, “I’m happy to be talking about it. You know, I’ve been talking about a lot of other stuff lately, and it’s nice to actually discuss the job that I chose for myself.” Nothing against the Other Stuff on his part, mind you. He’s proud of the much-heralded HBO Max documentary that director Sam Jones made about him, “Jason Isbell: Running With Our Eyes Closed,” even if it did open him and his wife, Amanda Shires, up to a huge amount amount of personal scrutiny.

Through comedy, these actors have found the freedom to be contradictory, to not have it all together and to be a little messy.
