Steve Buscemi was born on 13 Dec 1957. The Number 13 is usually associated with an omen, and it becomes even more ominous when it falls on a Friday; however, in Steve’s case it turned out to be very lucky indeed.

 The actor Steve Buscemi was born to John Buscemi, a Korean War veteran who dreamed of becoming a cameraman his entire life but worked as a nightman. His mother Dorothy was a hostess at Howard Johnson’s, and he grew up in Brooklyn and Valley Stream, New York.
