In June 2025, many of us are taking part in the 30-Day “On This Date” Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, the challenge encourages participants to engage in a meaningful or enjoyable activity inspired by a historical event, anniversary, or personal memory tied to that specific date. My post today is on the 99th birthday of MEL BROOKS.
Mel Brooks was born in Brooklyn NY on June 28, 1926 with his birthname being Kaminsky. He certainly can be labeled as a man who made outrageous vulgarity and obscenities part of film making. Yet prior to getting into films, he was a writer and along with Buck Henry created the TV Show “Get Smart“. He also enlisted in the US Army immediately upon graduating from HS in 1944.
On This Date-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to think about the history of each day in June.
- Record something about what happened on this date. It can be an event, memory, or anniversary.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
June 28th-Mel Brooks
For people who live into their nineties they often have strong friendships. That is the case with Mel Brooks who had a 70-year friendship with Carl Reiner.
When it came to awards Brooks is one of the few who have EGOT status. That acronym stands for Emmy’s-Grammy’s-Oscar-Tony’s and Mel has received them all.
Some of my followers including Joe Butler can quote lots of lines from his movies. Here is a list of 9 Mel Brooks Films
Mel was married twice and those two relationships produced four children. His second wife was Anne Bancroft who he married in 1964 and was with her for 41 years until she died in 2005.
