Singer Tony Bennett (pictured) turns 96 today while singer-guitarist and Metallica frontman James Hetfield turns 59 and French actor Lambert Wilson turns 64.

Actor Martin Sheen blows out 82 cake candles today, while actor Isaiah Washington, of television’s ER, turns 48. Director John Landis, who gave us the very popular film, The Blues Brothers, turns 72.

This day in 2013 marked the marriage of actor and model Kevin Zegers, then 28, and talent agent Jaime Feld.
