Natalie Wood (1938–1981)

Born: July 20, 1938 in San Francisco, California, USA
Died: November 29, 1981 (age 43) in Santa Catalina Island, California, USA

[in 1961] In so many ways I think it’s a bore to be sorry you were a child actor – so many people feel sorry for you automatically. At the time, I wasn’t aware of the things I missed, so why should I think of them in retrospect? Everybody misses something or other.

I felt a little funny when we were going to do the bed scene, all four of us, in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969). I’m open to suggestions, I’m no prude, but four is a crowd in my book. Fortunately, Dyan Cannon was there. The thought of another woman being in there in the bed helped get me through it. It’s not like it sounds. It’s just that I don’t…

If you have to change something about you to be in a part, I don’t think it’s easy to do. You should just pick the part where you can just be yourself. [About turning down a part in The Horse Whisperer (1998) because he was required to change his accent]

Joel Coen

Born: November 29, 1954 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Married to: Frances McDormand (1 April 1984 – present) (1 child)

I like Hollywood just the way it is, actually. I don’t think I’d change anything. I like that it’s out here 3,000 miles from where I live.

Someone asked us once how we adapt novels, and Ethan [Coen] said, “Joel holds the book open by the spine, while I retype it into the computer…Don’t change it [the book] if it’s not broken!

[on his and his brother Ethan’s choice of characters in their films] What’s interesting to us are the people you know that are very good at what they do but aren’t necessarily successful.

Chadwick Boseman

Born: November 29, 1976 in Anderson, South Carolina, USA

I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don’t really say that I’m an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles.

Some people would view Jackie Robinson as a very safe African-American, a docile figure who had a tendency to try to get along with everyone, and when you look at his history, you learn that he has this fire that allows him to take this punishment but also figure out savvy ways of giving it back.

It’s ridiculous that people aren’t allowed to love who they love, have families, and have the same life as straight people. It’s infuriating.

I’m straight. I. Love. Men. I love men.

I’ve been really lucky. I think that you really get what you recognize is in the universe.

Don’t do it if you could anything else do that and if you can be dissuaded by me saying that you shouldn’t be doing this anyway if you want to really go after it your chances of making it are very very poor if you’re a white male between the ages of twenty to four you got the best shot and after that it falls off the shelf that being said obviously it can be done and many people have done it and you don’t have to be good unfortunately and we see that too but you have to be tenacious and have a never say die attitude and with all the technology that’s out now you can make a movie for two grand you can put yourself out there and package yourself in the best light you see
