Born: October 3, 1973 in Guelph, Ontario, Canada

[on Hollywood favoring sequels and remakes/reboots instead of new material]: We’re going back to versions of movies that were only out a short while ago. There are sequels and all theses prequels to all the sequels. It’s a terrible situation, it truly is. It makes me sad because there are so many great stories out there waiting to be told.

Happy Birthday: Shannyn Sossamon

shannynsossamon.jpgShannyn Sossamon

Born: October 3, 1978 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

It was in 1999, when Shannyn was helping a friend D.J. at a birthday party for Gwyneth Paltrow that a new chapter began in her fairy tale life. Francine Maisler, a casting director known for such films as The Usual Suspects (1995), spotted Shannyn. Shortly thereafter Shannyn found herself with the backing of an influential Hollywood name and one very important audition… A Knight’s Tale (2001). She determined she wanted the lead role and after six call backs, beat out the competition to play “Lady Jocelyn”. Admittedly, the dancer turned actress knew little of her Australian costar Heath Ledgerbut the two became friends during filming.

Happy Birthday: Lena Headey

Shooting guns is not something I would do in my spare time. I really don’t understand why Americans can purchase guns so easily and why they use them for sporting purposes.

Happy Birthday: Alicia Vikander

aliciavikanderAlicia Vikander

Born: October 3, 1988 in Gothenburg, Västra Götalands län, Sweden

[The New York Times – February 9, 2016] During production of The Danish Girl (2015), the filmmakers were obsessed with me not looking Scandinavian and I was like, ‘I’m the only Scandinavian in the whole film.’ They paled my skin, to make me lighter. People say that I’m tanned, but that’s my natural color.
