Barbara Eden
Born: August 23, 1931 in Tucson, Arizona, USA
The presence of her belly-button on I Dream of Jeannie (1965) was a non-issue until its existence was questioned, playfully, by columnist Mike Connolly. When Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In (1967) producer George Schlatter decided to premiere it on his show, NBC issued a “No Navel Edict”.
Her parents divorced when she was three and her mother Alice later married Harrison Connor Huffman.
River Phoenix (1970–1993)
Born: August 23, 1970 in Madras, Oregon, USA
Died: October 31, 1993 (age 23) in West Hollywood, California, USA
I would just look at Harrison [Harrison Ford]; he would do stuff and I would not mimic it, but interpret it younger. Mimicking is a terrible mistake that many people make when they play someone younger, or with an age difference. Mimicking doesn’t interpret true because you can’t just edit it around. [on his interpretation of a young Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)]

Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don’t add up. I think there should be dreams and music and dead air and stuff that goes nowhere. There should be, God forgive me, a little bit of poetry.
I felt I was out of step with everything. I remember seeing Pretty Woman (1990) on an airplane. Everybody was laughing their heads off. “Ho-ho-ho!” It wasn’t funny to me, it wasn’t dramatic–it wasn’t anything. I thought, “Why don’t I just open the door and jump out?”
It wasn’t something I was really dying to hear, because my response in my head was: I don’t give a fuck – I hate television. But I wasn’t used to being talked to that way. – on his reaction to Brad Grey’s desire to sign him to a television deal.

Married to: Holly Anne Brown (18 August 2000 – present) (2 children)
You know, I used to think I was a foodie, and then my wife went to culinary school and basically explained to me that I was just a guy that likes to eat.
My wife handles all of our technology. So if something goes wrong with the computer, I throw up my arms and step aside while the IT gal figures it out.

[on a memory of getting his first laugh] I was three and it was during my younger sister’s christening and I was lifted up to stand on a chair so I could see. I looked out at the congregation of about thirty or forty people, bu to me it seemed like thousands. And I started to do little dances on the chair and pull faces and turn around under my legs – and everyone burst out laughing. Even the vicar was laughing. And I can vividly remember something clicked and thinking, This feels amazing!

I try to be quite a detailed actor. People were really picking up on that. Even if it was just a flicker of the eye or something, they got it.
You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character.
At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.
Live acting is a kind of adventure sport. I don’t go abseiling or snowboarding, but I sometimes think that stepping out on stage can have the same kind of adrenaline rush.

It’s a mystery to me what makes people laugh.
I love the rain. It’s my favorite weather.
At parties, I’ll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, ‘Forget it,’ and then start eating things.
If you’re creating anything at all, it’s really dangerous to care about what people think.
I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you’re like, ‘What’s wrong with me?’

I’ve never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up. I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you’re the author of your own destiny. Coming to this show is the opposite.” – talking about “Lost
