  While many aren't ready to accept that the Summer season is winding down, I know I am itching for Fall's sweet arrival. So naturally I see Pumpkin Spice Day (aka the day Starbucks unleashes their pumpkin spice latte on the masses) as the unofficial start to the spooky season.

Quick, which jazz luminary also worked as a featured actress in "The Godfather" and "The Godfather II?" There's only one. If you guessed Morgana King, you're right! She played Carmela Corleone, the wife of Don Vito Corleone, or Marlon Brando, in both movies.
