Born in 1879 in then "Indian" territory, now Oklahoma, part Cherokee and full-blooded cowboy Will Rogers died in 1935 near Pt. Barrow along with famed aviator Wiley Post. He was named "most popular" male star in Hollywood in 1934 but was noted mostly as a humorist and commentator on politics in America even though he did over 70 movies.

If you are anywhere near 60 your mom and dad probably knew, and still do, many of his quotes by heart. "Never let yesterday use up too much of today" is also a favorite of mine
