Wayne Newton's journey through life began on April 3, 1942, in the city of Norfolk, Virginia, USA, a place that would forever hold a special significance in his life story. As a talented individual, he has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry, showcasing his remarkable skills as an actor and producer in various films, including the 1997 comedy classic "Vegas Vacation", the 1989 action-packed "Licence to Kill", and the 1990 crime drama "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane". Throughout his illustrious career, he has been fortunate enough to share his life with two remarkable women, first with Elaine Okamura, whom he married and later divorced, and then with Kathleen McCrone, whom he married on April 9, 1994, and with whom he shares a loving family, including a child.
