Sal Mineo
born: 10-01-1939
birth place: Bronx, NY, USA
died: 12-02-1976
In 1957, at the height of Mineo's fame, Bob Hope announced on a TV special that all public schools in Brooklyn would be closed the following day, in honour of Sal Mineo's birthday. Hope meant this as a joke, but many youngsters in Brooklyn took it seriously, and there was record absenteeism in the borough's public schools the following day.
