Dina Merrill never became a huge star in Hollywood, but odds are that she's the richest actress ever... the heiress of the Post family fortune, and the daughter of Marjorie Post and E.F. Hutton. The only movie I really remember her from is a mediocre Cary Grant/Tony Curtis submarine comedy called Operation Petticoat, but she's a lovely lady and apparently more accomplished as a businesswoman (she was a long-time board member for Lehman Brothers), than she was as an actress. It's her 88th birthday today.
