In addition to “Aki”, some of us know her as the gangster moll Hamako (“Dogora”) and especially as Princess Selina Salno (“Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster”).
A Toho monster classic!
For her part, Ms. Wakabayashi has pretty much vanished from the public - even the "recent" photo of her on the internet is about ten years old. I think G-Fan magazine was able to interview her (by e-mail) around that time. I also recall, that 007 magazine had attempted to contact her back in 2017 (50th for YOLT).
I haven't seen it since I was a kid. I'll need to watch it again.
My Toho "comfort food" movie would probably be King Kong Escapes with her YOLT co-star Mie Hama playing Madame Piranha.

John Zorn is 67.
Keanu Reeves is 56.
Salma Hayek is 54.
(Mie Hama will prolly not do cons , as she said herself it was so long ago , its well passed her by now)
Let's sing along............here are the lyrics:
I know you dream a lot
Holding on to lies
And you wait around
For someone to know where you hide
In your dreams, you feel a lot
But you keep it all inside
And you close your eyes
It helps keep you alive
But the experience of loving
Won't take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
(The experience of love, first time)
And having come this far
Cherishing your dreams
You have realized now
How they help keep you alone
And the experience of loving
Won't take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
Breathing in the scent of love
(Leave the dreams behind)
Sensing life in everything under the sky
And the experience of loving
Won't take all the pain away…
Milo Manara is 75.
With its’ “in the round” format and catch phrases like “The Devil Made Me Do it” and “What You See Is What You Get!”, it was quite the program for a couple of years.
Every week I create a list of notable events coming up to their 50th anniversary for my personal calendar, and the next two weeks are packed with both the good and the bad from that era.
Ironically, Diana Rigg’s short lived 1973 tv sitcom “Diana” was viewed as a pale imitation of MTM. Note the similarities between the two clips.
He becomes only the second Formula 1 driver in history to reach that age. He is currently both the oldest living F1 driver and the most ancient F1 driver still alive (he is the final remaining participant of the 1952 world championship).
Naturally, my New York Jets lost to the Cleveland Browns 31-21. ☹
Nine Year Old Self: “Well the Jets will bounce back and win next week’s game.”
Future Self: “Actually, they won’t. And get use to this losing thingy for the next half century plus!!
*According to Pro-Football Reference, the Jets actually did win their next game, but then went 4-10 for the season.
... Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas was released in US cinemas.
Note: “The Odd Couple” debut on a Thursday, it was not moved to ABC’s Friday Night lineup until later that year. Also note, the opening tag (“On November 13th Felix Unger….) wasn’t included at first. It was added later, to assure people that Felix and Oscar weren’t gay.
Note, that this is the opening of the opening of the pilot episode (they modified the theme later on, and a different actor was cast as Christopher for season one). Proposed plot for Bond 26: We find out that Blofeld has had Susan Dey hostage for these last 30 years and Bond has to rescue her 😊!!!
Silvio Berlusconi is 84.

I seem to remember that ABC News (in the US) devoted the last ten minutes of their newscast on the evening of October 5th 2012 to this story. A kind of "in their own words" recounting from Connery and McCartney.
The following is from the New York Daily News’s Joe Neumaier back in 2012 – also making note of the many “pop culture” milestones of October 1962.

It's been noted that 1962 was one of the great years — if not the greatest — in pop culture. Let's pinpoint things even more precisely: 50 years ago, October 1962, is when it all changed. As the Cuban missile crisis brought the world closer than ever to its end, there was an explosion of beginnings whose aftershocks are still being felt.
Given his love for his adopted home town of New York City, the following video for “Mind Games” is quite appropriate. And try not to smile when John gives the thumbs up sign as he exits from Tiffany’s with a hotdog….you can’t!
Miss you John.
