...born Taidje Khan on Sakhalin Island, off the coast of Siberia, to a Rumanian Gypsy mother and a Swiss-Mongolian father. Reared in Peking and Paris, he was a cabaret singer and circus acrobat before becoming an actor, arriving in the U.S. in 1941 and making his Broadway debut in the 1946 Lute Song. He brought his bald-pated, brooding persona to three dozen films, most notably The Ten Commandments (1956), The Brothers Karamazov (1958) and The Magnificent Seven...

...named for the Liberty Bell? The mists of rock history fog over the point, but after Patricia Holt changed monikers and made her professional debut in Philadelphia 24 years ago, Patti LaBelle and the Blue Bells were soon - one of the mainstays of the un-Main Line Philly sound. She still loves the old hometown and is not afraid of singing so. With fellow Philly Cheeses Bill Cosby and David Brenner, LaBelle, 41, has done an "I Love Philadelphia" commercial as part of the city's civic-pride campaign. She can well afford to be supportive.
