I suddenly had a flash. Is it Edward G Robinson?

Brilliant flash Dave.  Who do you have for us ?

A unique blend of character actor and superstar, Edward G. Robinson (1893-1973) may have lacked the physical stature and good looks of a leading man, but he more than compensated with the passion and authority of his acting. Forever identified with the snarling gangster of Little Caesar (1930), in real life he was a man of great kindness and courtesy whose generosity scarcely knew bounds, a cultured gentleman and a versatile performer whose 50-year film career encompassed a wide range of roles.

Edward G. Robinson was born Emanuel Goldenberg in Bucharest, Romania on December 12, 1893. He was the fifth of six sons and for the first 8 years of his life shared a small house with his parents, 5 brothers, and maternal grandmother. The Goldenbergs were fairly well off, but persecution of Jews throughout the country reaching horrendous levels. One of Robinson brothers was hit on the head with a rock during a schoolboy pogrom and years later, in America, died probably from the effects of the blow. It was decided the family should go to America but it took money to emigrate, more than they had to all go together, so the eldest brothers went first, then their father, and with the money they sent home once work was obtained in the U.S., eventually the rest of the family was able to make the crossing. They settled in New Yorks Lower East End when Emanuel was 9 years old. They may still have had cramped living quarters and their new life was by no means luxurious, but they were in America, the land of promise and opportunity. "At Ellis Island I was born again," Robinson wrote later. "Life for me began when I was 10 years old."

So sorry to hear he died.  Glen Campbell.

Glen Travis Campbell (April 22, 1936 August 8, 2017) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, television host, and actor. He is best known for a series of hits in the 1960s and 1970s, and for hosting a music and comedy variety show called The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on CBS television, from January 1969 through June 1972.[2]

During his 50 years in show business, Campbell released more than 70 albums. He sold 45 million records and accumulated 12 RIAA gold albums, four platinum albums, and one double-platinum album. He placed a total of 80 different songs on either the Billboard Country Chart, Billboard Hot 100, or Adult Contemporary Chart, of which 29 made the top 10 and of which nine reached number one on at least one of those charts. Campbell's hits include his recordings of John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind"; Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", and "Galveston"; Larry Weiss's "Rhinestone Cowboy"; and Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights".

Campbell made history in 1967 by winning four Grammys in the country and pop categories. For "Gentle on My Mind", he received two awards in country and western, "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" did the same in pop. Three of his early hits later won Grammy Hall of Fame Awards (2000, 2004, 2008), while Campbell himself won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. He owns trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the Country Music Association (CMA) and the Academy of Country Music (ACM), and took the CMA's top award as 1968 Entertainer of the Year. Campbell appeared as a supporting role in the film True Grit (1969), which earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Most Promising Newcomer. Campbell also sang the title song, which was nominated for an Academy _Award._____
