Famous birthdays week #16

Last week:
April 12, 1947 – David Letterman
April 13, 1923 – Don Adams 

Last year we looked at major world events that occurred each week. For 2024 let's look at birthdays of famous people for each week of the year.

For this week, we have:

April 18, 1963

#1

April 21, 1926

#2

Your task is to guess who each person is. To avoid spoiling it for people who come after you, do NOT put the person's name in the comments! Instead, write something about that person. For example, if your guess for person #1 is “Joe Biden”, write something like “#1 - current US president” in the comments. Don't use the name.

Good luck!
