One of the most remarkable lives of 20th Century America began on Jan. 6, 1912 — the birthdate of Danny Thomas. He achieved fame as a TV star, but his greatest role was as the self-proclaimed “proud beggar” who raised the funds to build St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, on the belief that no child should die in the dawn of life.
