My #1 Celebrity Birthday Person for October 21st is
Alfred Bernhard Nobel (Would have been 177 in 2010) - Died age 63
Born October 21, 1833 - Stockholm, Sweden.
Date of Death December 10, 1896 - Sanremo, Italy. (Stroke)
Nobel, a descendant of the seventeenth century scientist, Olaus Rudbeck (1630-1708),
was the third son of Immanuel Nobel (1801-1872) and Andriette Ahlsell Nobel (1805-1889).
He went with his family in 1842 to St. Petersburg, where his father
(who had invented modern plywood) started a "torpedo" works.
Alfred studied chemistry with Professor Nikolay Nikolaevich Zinin.
In 1859, the factory was left to the care of the second son,
Ludvig Nobel (1831-1888), who greatly enlarged it.
A Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite.
He owned Bofors, a major armaments manufacturer, which he had redirected from its
previous role as an iron and steel mill.
In his last will, he used his enormous fortune to institute the Nobel Prizes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel
Nobel prize:
The erroneous publication in 1888 of a premature obituary of Nobel by a French newspaper,
condemning him for his invention of dynamite, is said to have brought about his decision to
leave a better legacy after his death.
The obituary stated Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead")
and went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more
people faster than ever before, died yesterday”.
On November 27, 1895, at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris, Nobel signed his
last will and testament and set aside the bulk of his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes,
to be awarded annually without distinction of nationality.
He left 31 million kronor (4,223,500 USD1896~103,931,888 USD2007) to fund the prizes.
Prize categories:
1. Physical science,
2. Chemistry,
3. Medical science or physiology,
4. Literary work "in an ideal direction",
5. Person or society that renders the greatest service to the cause of international fraternity,

Dead Persons:
Dizzy Gillespie (Would have been 87) 1917 - Died age 75
Born 21 October 1917 - Cheraw, South Carolina, USA
Date of death 6 January 1993 - Englewood, New Jersey (pancreatic cancer)
John Birks 'Dizzy' Gillespie, along with Charlie Parker, ushered in the era of Be-Bop
in the American Jazz tradition. He was the youngest of nine children.
He began playing piano at the age of four and received a music scholarship to the
Laurinburg Institute in North Carolina. Most noted for his trademark 'swollen cheeks',
Gillespie admitted to copying the style of trumpeter Roy Eldridge early in his career.
He replaced Eldridge in the Teddy Hill Band after Eldridge's departure.
He eventually began experimenting and creating his own style which would eventually come
to the attention of Mario Bauza, the Godfather of Afro-Cuban Jazz who was then a member
of the Cab Calloway Orchestra. Joining Calloway in 1939, Gillespie was fired after two
years when he cut a portion of Calloway's buttocks with a knife after Calloway accused
him of throwing spitballs. The two men later became lifelong friends and often retold
this story with great humor until both of their deaths.
Spouse: Lorraine Willis (9 May 1940 - 6 January 1993) (his death)
Trade mark: 45 degree slant on his trumpet / Ballooning cheeks as he played
Interred at Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, Queens, New York, USA.
Jazz trumpeter, the driving force behind bebop with Charlie Parker.
Awarded the Polar Music Prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Music Award, in 1993.
Inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1982.
