Happy Birthday: Gisele Bündchen

giselebundchen.jpgGisele Bündchen

Born: July 20, 1980 in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Married to: Tom Brady (26 February 2009 – present) (2 children)

Her personal fortune is valued at 150 million dollars, and she is in the Guinness Book of Records as “the world’s richest supermodel”.

QUOTES:

“To be a model is to be half actress. In the reality, I am a normal adolescent.” Gisele Bündchen.

“I love horses. If I could, I would ride the whole day. When I get married, I’ll live in the countryside, ride on horses and live among cows, chickens and dogs.” – about her love for pets.

I think it’s better when you’re natural, when you just do whatever you want, instead of doing classes where I see all these other people holding back because they’ve been trained with certain skills or techniques. I’m like, whatever.

I’m a very private person. I like staying home and doing my stuff. I hate people invading on my privacy. I hate talking about my private life. You almost feel like they’re invading your space, you know? I really hate that. I think that’s very disrespectful and I think they should have a law against that.

Happy Birthday: Natalie Wood (1938–1981)

nataliewood.jpgNatalie Wood (1938–1981)

Born: July 20, 1938 in San Francisco, California, USA

Died: November 29, 1981 (age 43) in Santa Catalina Island, California, USA

Natalie stayed very busy as a child actress, appearing in no less than 18 films in the late 1940s and early 1950s. When she was 16 Natalie appeared in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) with James Dean, Sal Mineo and Dennis Hopper. She played Judy, a rebellious high school student who was more concerned with hanging out with the wrong crowd than being a sweet teenager like her contemporaries. The result was her first Academy Award nomination and a defining moment in her development as an adult actress. She appeared in Splendour in the Grass (1961), West Side Story (1961), Gypsy (1962), and Love with the Proper Stranger (1963).
