I can't seem to find the site I was getting birthdays from.

Mark Goddard is probably better known for his role as Don West on Lost in Space, but before that he was cast as William "Cully" Charles on Johnny Ringo and as Sgt. Chris Ballard on The Detectives.

Chief Dan George was terrific as Lone Watie in The Outlaw Josey Wales, and was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Little Big Man. He was chief of the Canadian Tsleil-Waututh Nation, as well as an author and poet.

Delmer Daves was the director of some great Westerns, such as Broken Arrow, The Hanging Tree, 3:10 To Yuma, and Jubal. He also directed such movies as Destination Tokyo, Demetrius and the Gladiators, and A Summer Place.

Frank Silvera was a mixed race actor (his father was Spanish/Jewish and his mother was Jamaican), being a person of color he was usually cast in ethnic roles, mostly as Mexican or Hispanic. When I think of Frank Silvera, I think of him yelling out to Paul Newman, "Hey, Hombre!" He died in 1970 from electrocution while trying to repair a garbage disposal. He was Navy veteran of WWII.

X Brands was born in Kansas City, Mo. to a family of German descent, but made a career of playing a variety of American Indians in movies and TV. He earned to praise of the Pawnee tribe his authentic portrayal and ability to speak their tribe's language.

Tinhorn that site disappeared. I was looking for over the weekend as I had in my favorites and apparently it's no longer running. It was a great site as it had plenty of old timers and people I never heard of from the silent days. Well as Chief Dan George said we'll endeavor to persevere.

I just found, and bookmarked the one I use: HistoryOrb.com. But I always double check what they have to IMDB, because sometimes they make mistakes.

On the 23rd you missed, through no fault of your own, one of the great character actors of any era, Hank Wardon.
