Sterling Holloway died on this day 32 years ago, aged 87. - Holloway's first acting role was in the 1926 silent film The Battling Kangaroo, where he played a carnival worker. During World War II, he would enlist in the army and create a soldier education series called Hey Rookie (probably like a live-action Private Snafu given his comedic roles). - Holloway would work with Disney from almost the beginning of their feature-length animated films, with Walt Disney considering him to voice Sleepy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (a role that went to veteran voice actor Pinto Colvig). He provided Flower's adult voice in Bambi before voicing the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland, and was also known voicing Kaa in The Jungle Book: In later years, he voiced Winnie the Pooh in the 1977 film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. - Outside of animation, Holloway would make appearances in shows that included The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, The Andy Griffith Show, The Twilight Zone, and Gilligan's Island. His last role was in a 1986 episode of Moonlighting. Afterwards he was offered to reprise his voice roles in the 1988 animated series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but declined due to age causing him to no longer be able to properly voice Pooh- leading to Jim Cummings succeeding him in said role.

Garret Hobart died on this day 125 years ago, aged 55. - Hobart served as a teacher and a lawyer before being elected to the New Jersey General Assembly in 1872. He would be elected to the state's Senate in 1876 and served there until 1883, and was the Senate President for the last two years of his term. - In 1896, Hobart became a dark horse choice to become William McKinley's running mate. He was selected due to being the campaign manager for John Griggs in the 1895 New Jersey gubernatorial election, where Griggs became the state's first Republican governor since 1869. McKinley viewed New Jersey as a key state- albeit the pair won the election by a comfortable margin of 271-176 electoral votes. - As VP, Hobart was known for streamlining the passage of bills through the US Senate to where he was nicknamed the 'Assistant President', and would only break a tie once in which he denied the Philippines self-governance following the Spanish-American War. - Hobart suffered from a chronic heart disease which he tried to hide, but was widespread knowledge by 1899. He suffered a reported heart attack in the spring of that year and was put on bed rest. As his condition worsened, McKinley expressed his opinion that he wished for him to resign before he died, but this did not occur. Hobart was the sixth and most recent US vice president to die in office.

Allan Sherman died on this day 51 years ago, aged 48. - Sherman was born as 'Allan Copelon', and took his mother's maiden name after his parents divorced. - In 1952, Sherman would co-create the game show I've Got a Secret, originally conceiving it as I Know a Secret. He would serve as its producer until 1958, when he was fired following a particularly disastrous episode featuring Tony Curtis being confused by what Sherman wanted to do, and panelist Henry Morgan proceeding to tear into him after they ran out of scripted material early: - Sherman was best known for being a musical humorist, where he would parody the tunes of classical music and Broadway musical numbers (a la Weird Al Yankovic), with his biggest hit being 1963's "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh", set to the melody of "Dance of the Hours": The song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 that summer. The album it came from, My Son, the Nut would, however, peak atop the Billboard Hot 200 albums chart. - Later on, Sherman would delve into topical satires (a la his contemporary Tom Lehrer) that ranged from subjects from Vietnam sit-in protests ("The Rebel") to Beatlemania: - One of Sherman's last projects was providing the voice of the Cat in the Hat in two Dr. Seuss TV specials: - Sherman was one to not particularly care about his health- he suffered from alcoholism, and his obesity led to him developing type 2 diabetes. He would die of respiratory failure shortly before his 49th birthday.

Cab Calloway died on this day 30 years ago, aged 86. - Before going professional in music, Calloway would join a Black basketball team known as the Baltimore Athenians. - Calloway would meet Louis Armstrong in Chicago, who would teach him how to perform scat music. His first band was called the Alabamians, and when they broke up, he would join another state-named band called the Missourians- soon to lose that moniker as it was retitled 'Cab Calloway and His Orchestra'. - Calloway had a breakout success with 1931's "Minnie the Moocher", which soon became his signature song and was the first song by an African-American singer to sell one million copies: During this time, Fleischer Studios would have him perform, where they would rotoscope his movements for animation in three Betty Boop shorts and have him voice characters (possibly the first instance of celebrity voice acting in cartoons): - Calloway also had an acting career lasting almost 50 years, with his most notable appearances being in The Singing Kid (where he chastises Al Jolson), Stormy Weather, and his final film being his most well-remembered- The Blues Brothers, where he sang his signature song once more for a new generation: His final new work was appearing in the music video for Janet Jackson's song "Alright" in 1990:
