Happy Birthday: Antonio Banderas

antoniobanderas.jpgAntonio Banderas

Born: August 10, 1960 in Málaga, Málaga, Andalucía, Spain

Married to:
Melanie Griffith (14 May 1996 – 4 December 2015) (divorced) (1 child)
Ana Leza (27 July 1987 – 1996) (divorced)

Became a fan of his wife, Melanie Griffith, long before he met her. He had first seen her in the film Something Wild (1986) and thought she was beautiful and later told a Spanish magazine in 1989 that he would love to meet her. In 1995, when she first arrived on the set of Two Much (1996), he sprinted out of his trailer like a starstruck schoolboy to introduce himself. Nervously, he asked her how old she was. She cursed, laughed, and finally answered she was 37. They soon became a couple and stayed together for 19 years.

Happy Birthday: Angie Harmon

Born: August 10, 1972 in Dallas, Texas, USA

Married to:
Jason Sehorn (9 June 2001 – present) (separated) (3 children)

[on her character’s voluptuousness in Agent Cody Banks (2003)] We had so much stuff in there: shoulder pads and things that look like chicken cutlets. It’s not The Hours (2002), I know – I had prosthetic boobs instead of a prosthetic nose.

I’m half Greek and half American Indian, so my dermatologist told me I’ll never age.

Happy Birthday: Brenton Thwaites

[on spending time in south Africa] There’s so many near death experiences, that near death just becomes like getting a coffee in the morning – it keeps you awake and alive, and the waves are pretty good – it’s always pumping in south Africa somewhere.

Happy Birthday: McG

mcgMcG

Born: August 9, 1968 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA

Born in Michigan in 1968, (birth name Joseph McGinty Nichol), “McG” was educated in psychiatry, but forayed into video and commercial directing.

His pop visual style garnered attention which lead to his first feature gig, helming 2000’s Charlie’s Angels, a great commercial success, if not a critical one. Since, McG has continued working in music as well television, interspersed with additional Hollywood features with high production values and mixed reaction.

McG is also a highly proficient producer.

Happy Birthday: Whitney Houston (1963–2012)

whitneyhouston.jpgWhitney Houston (I) (1963–2012)

Born: August 9, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey, USA
Died: February 11, 2012 (age 48) in Beverly Hills, California, USA

On the afternoon of February 11, 2012, Houston was found dead in her hotel room at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. She was pronounced dead at 3:55pm PST.

Her funeral was held at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday, February 18, 2012. Following services, she was laid to rest beside her father at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey.

While Whitney scored a massive international hit with “The Greatest Love of All” (by Michael Masser & Linda Creed), she wasn’t the first to record it. That distinction belongs to George Benson who introduced the song on the soundtrack of the biopic The Greatest (1977).
