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…

Stephen Merchant

Born: November 24, 1974 in Bristol, England, UK

My father was a plumber and I remember him coming home when I was 16 and telling me he hated his job and I shouldn’t do it. I’m sure there are people who love being plumbers or working in offices and that’s great – there’s lots of jobs which might be considered mundane which people take great satisfaction from doing. We’re presenting characters who have jobs they don’t enjoy and that aren’t fulfilling them and ask if they’re going to do anything about it. It’s not interesting to do a story about happy people in a happy place. Extras (2005) was about people in showbusiness who weren’t happy doing that either.

Died: November 24, 1980 (age 79) in Los Angeles, California, USA

[In a 1936 interview, discussing former jobs before getting into the acting profession] My one ambition then was to drive a horse. So I got a job driving a delivery wagon for a large grocery company. I drove up and down Ninth avenue like I was daffy. I raced all the other delivery wagons. I gave all the boys rides. Deliveries were always late, customers complained, and I was fired.

Katherine Heigl

Born: November 24, 1978 in Washington, District of Columbia, USA

Married to: Josh Kelley (23 December 2007 – present) (2 children)

[on Knocked Up (2007)] A little sexist. It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy? Why is this how you’re portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie.

Religion theme aside, most of the time I’m in some sort of comedy and I’m a straight man and it’s really just, let’s wind this guy up and see him explode.

I’ve been able to find just as much interesting, exciting music through the Internet and iTunes… The personal interaction is not the same, and I’m not walking out of a store with a physical thing, so there’s definitely an element that is lost, for sure.

I’m really fascinated with anything that takes place between the 1920s up through the 1960s. In some ways it feels familiar, and in other ways it feels like it’s from another planet.

Garret Dillahunt

Born: November 24, 1964 in Castro Valley, California, USA

You know one scene I always think about is in ‘The Godfather’, when Marlon Brando’s in the hospital. Al Pacino arrives there and enlists the help of the baker to protect his father. The two of them stand outside and the baker fiddles with a cigarette lighter, but Pacino’s hands are rock steady. That’s when we sort of realize that he can do this.

Well, one of my favorite ones to work on – besides just about any scene from ‘Deadwood’ – was my scene with Brad Pitt in ‘Assassination of Jesse James’. That was just a fun day.
