Melvin "Mel Brooks" Kaminsky is America's greatest director, screenwriter, actor, composer and comedian. Now, after 40 years, his "History of the World, Part I," is getting a sequel. This is just the latest cinematic event for Mel, 96, who also wrote/directed "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein" and "The Producers." 

He's a national treasure and a personal hero of mine.
