Robin McGraw (14 August 1976 – present) (2 children)

If I was on the air and was just kind of a plain-vanilla personality that took the safe road and the safe way trying to please all of the people all of the time, I’d been gone in two weeks.

[on starring in a movie based on singer Connie Francis] She isn’t in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and yet she was the first pop star worldwide, recorded in nine languages. She has done a lot of things for victims’ rights since her rape in the ’70s . . . There’s a major story there.

Happy Birthday: Richard Farnsworth (1920–2000)

Married to:
Margaret Hill (1947 – 7 August 1985) (her death) (2 children)

But I don’t really care for directors flaring up and trying to humble some actor, which they would do to try and make an example out of them so everybody else would stay on the ball–and [David Lynch] wasn’t anything like that.

Happy Birthday: James Rebhorn (1948–2014)

Happy Birthday: Lily Tomlin

lilytomlinLily Tomlin

Born: September 1, 1939 in Detroit, Michigan, USA

Married to:
Jane Wagner (31 December 2013 – present)

I’ve been around a long time, and I interviewed with a lot of the same people over and over. I was always direct and open about my life. I would always reference Jane [Wagner] and everything, but they never choose to write about it that way — just like they never wrote about Jack Kennedy and the women in the swimming pool. It was the times, but the media culture has changed.

Happy Birthday: Scott Speedman

scottspeedman.jpgScott Speedman

Born: September 1, 1975 in London, England, UK

[on actors] What we really look for is something we haven’t done before and something that challenges us or creates a bit-of-a-fear moment when you’re reading it. Like ‘Oh Jeez, I don’t know if I can pull this off’. You always sorta can get there but it’s scary to jump off the edge.

Happy Birthday: Lara Pulver

Born: September 1, 1980 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, UK

Married to: Raza Jaffrey (27 December 2014 – present)

[on Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia (2012)] I take my clothes off for a minute and a half and everyone suddenly goes, ‘Oh great, she’s an actress who will take her clothes off. We can’t get Kate Winslet. Let’s see if Lara Pulver will do a swinger movie.’

[on Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia (2012)] It didn’t bother me in the slightest and I’m someone who’s never done that sort of thing before on stage or screen. It was just a device for her; it wasn’t nudity for nudity’s sake.

Happy Birthday: Boyd Holbrook

boydholbrook.jpgBoyd Holbrook

Born: September 1, 1981 in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, USA

There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut – it was so bad. I didn’t even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn’t even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate.
