Happy Birthday: Tommy Lee Jones

tommyleejones.jpgTommy Lee Jones

Born: September 15, 1946 in San Saba, Texas, USA

[on how he learned to direct] I’ve worked with more than 50 directors and I’ve paid attention since day one. That’s pretty much been my education, apart from studying art history and shooting with my own cameras. I’ve seen 50 different sets of mistakes and 50 different ways of achieving. You just leave the bad part out.
