"Huh?" you say? You may know him better; in fact, am sure you would know him better as Orson Bean, comedian, writer, producer and on and on.
He changed to Orson Bean while working in a nightclub in Boston. The piano player who introduced him every night gave him a new name every night. "Roger Duck" didn't get many laughs, but "Orson Bean" had'em rolling in the aisles.
Apparently he is alive and thriving, married to his third wife, Alley (Bean) 68 which makes her 23 years his junior. She is an actress and Wife #3. Bean and Wife #2 had a daughter named Susanna who was married to Andrew Breitbart until he died in 2012.
Also listed in today's birthday column - Bob Dole who is now 96. Wife Elizabeth is 82 (she's 14 years younger) but they have been married 45 years anyhow.
I saw an interview with the happy pair and Elizabeth told listeners that when she was all for vehicle air bags, she was appearing before Congress and vowed her determination to see every car in American equipped with them, gesturing at Bob, "After all I've been driving around with one for 44 years!"
Show me a wife who can't make the same statement …(Just kidding, Richie!)
