Happy Birthday: Joan Allen

joanallen.jpgJoan Allen

Born: August 20, 1956 in Rochelle, Illinois, USA

I was very shy, but was desperate to meet boys. So my sister told me to be a cheerleader. I didn’t make cheerleading squad, so I thought, “Why not try out for a play?” As soon as I did I found out I absolutely loved it. I could cry and scream and laugh, but in a controlled environment.

Happy Birthday: Andrew Garfield

Born: August 20, 1983 in Los Angeles, California, USA

Obviously there’s something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you’re doing them for the wrong reasons – for money, or for fame. I hope I won’t ever do that. I don’t feel at home in LA, I feel like I’m on holiday. It’s nice to dip your feet in occasionally, but I think it’s probably quite unhealthy to spend too much time there at once.

Happy Birthday: Bill Clinton

billclinton.jpgBill Clinton

Born: August 19, 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, USA

Married to:
Hillary Clinton (11 October 1975 – present) (1 child)

Impeached (the equivalent of indicted) by the U.S. House of Representatives, Dec. 1998, for “high crimes and misdemeanors” on a strictly party-line vote (all Republicans voted for it, all Democrats voted against it; since the Republicans controlled the House, the impeachment was approved). He is the second president to be impeached; the first was Andrew Johnson in 1868 (Richard Nixon would likely have faced impeachment, but he resigned before it came to that).

Jane Stuart (22 April 2006 – present) (1 child)

[on Oliver Stone] I got along great with Oliver. A really interesting guy, incredible filmmaker. I met him about a year before we started shooting Platoon, auditioning for him. Then we went out to the Philippines, which was right during the whole Marcos takeover. There were tanks in the streets, so it was a pretty scary time to be there, but a lot of fun. And I got called in to meet him again for The Doors. I told Oliver I was a great drummer – which I was not. And then I was the drummer in The Doors. That was a good time.

[in response to the question, “Do you feel like a Marine?” on Major Dad (1989) during an on set 1992 interview by the Department of the Navy’s, “Navy News This Week”] It’s easy to put the uniform on and pretend, but earning the damn thing is a whole different story.

[on growing up watching and loving horror films] – Growing up I loved those films like “The Exorcist” or “The Omen” with Lee Remick. The acting was terrific, so I kept watching even though it scared the crap out of me. If you didn’t sit through those things, you were a wimp.

I think comedy is so specific, so hard. I’d audition for comedies and think, ‘I can’t pull this off.’

johnstamos.jpgJohn Stamos

Born: August 19, 1963 in Cypress, California, USA

[on starring in Full House (1987)] The whole time I was on it, I wished I was on another show, I’m not gonna lie to you. But I look back on it fondly, and I’m proud of it. Was it Seinfeld (1989), Friends (1994), Mary Tyler Moore (1970)? No. Was it a heartwarming show you could watch with your kids? Yes. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
