Happy Birthday: Freddie Mercury (1946–1991)

Freddie Mercury (1946–1991)

Born: September 5, 1946 in Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania
Died: November 24, 1991 (age 45) in Kensington, London, England, UK

[speaking in 1974] I am as gay as a daffodil.

[on Mary Austin, late 1970s interview] All my lovers asked me why they couldn’t replace Mary but it’s simply impossible. The only friend I’ve got is Mary and I don’t want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, thats enough for me. I couldn’t fall in love with a man the same way as I have with Mary.

[statement released on 23 November 1991] Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, I wish to confirm that I have tested HIV positive and have AIDS. I felt it correct to keep this information private in order to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has come for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with me in the fight against this terrible disease.

Audiences that go to my movies don’t want a message. They don’t want my soul exposed or my life view. They just want to laugh.

William Devane

Born: September 5, 1939 in Albany, New York, USA

[on working with Vanessa Redgrave in Yanks (1979)] It’s been a terrific experience working with somebody as good as she is. An incredible actress. I’m in there with a really high-powered dame, you know. You cut back and forth and Vanessa is incredible. Incredible! She’d survive with Marlon Brando and no woman ever has, except maybe Eva Marie Saint at the beginning.

I love to add ’90s trends mixed with modern day pieces I find along my many travels. Like these cool fun hats from Europe I have. I love to collect different ones from every country. I have them from London to Brussels.

Coincidences always happen if you keep your mind open, while storyboards remain the instruments of cowards who do not trust in their own imagination and who are slaves of a matrix… If you get used to planning your shots based solely on aesthetics, you are never that far from kitsch.

Once you get rid of the idea that you must please other people before you please yourself, and you begin to follow your own instincts – only then can you be successful. You become more satisfied, and when you are, other people will tend to be satisfied by what you do.

Michael Keaton

Born: September 5, 1951 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, USA

[After interviewer Michael Parkinson commented on his birth-name being Michael Douglas] Yeah, I had to change my name because there were two other actors registered at Equity with that name. One of them is doing quite well from what I understand, the other is making cheap porn movies… (reasonable pause) like Basic Instinct (1992).
