ED DANAHUE

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is 69 years old today.

Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to pursue a career as a bodybuilder
at age fourteen, despite demonstrating prowess in football. He became
the youngest person to win the Mr. Universe contest when he was 20
and won four more times after and won the Mr. Universe title seven
times.

Decca Records offered Brenda Lee a contract, and her
first record was "Jambalaya", backed with "Bigelow 6‑200".

Lee’s second single featured two novelty Christmas tunes:
"I’m Gonna Lasso Santa Claus", and "Christy Christmas".

Though she turned 12 on December 11, 1956, both of the
first two Decca singles credit her as "Little Brenda Lee
(9 Years Old)."

Branda Lee (Brenda Mae Tarpley) will be 72 in December.
