Happy Birthday: Bella Thorne

bellathorneBella Thorne

Born: October 8, 1997 in Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA

My father is Cuban. Spanish was my first language, but I don’t speak it that much anymore because I had dyslexia, and in school they work with you only in English. But I’m proud to be Latina, and most people don’t know I am.

I personally don’t think you can love two things like dancing and singing the same exact amount. There is always one that you like more, and that is most likely the one that you’re better at, because you try harder in it.

Happy Birthday: Matt Damon

Born: October 8, 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Married to:
Luciana Barroso (9 December 2005 – present) (3 children)

Some people get into this business and they’re so afraid to lose anything. They try to protect their position like clinging to a beachhead. These actors end up making really safe choices. I never wanted to go that route. If I go down, I’m going down swinging. I know that’s the way Heath Ledger feels and Ben Affleck feels the same way, too. We want to take the big swings.

Happy Birthday: Jake McLaughlin

jakemclaughlin.jpgJake McLaughlin

Born: October 7, 1982 in Paradise, California, USA

Married to:
Stephanie McLaughlin (2004 – present) (3 children)

While filming Oliver Stone’s Savages (2012), McLaughlin was involved in an automobile accident in one of the production’s transportation vans. The van lost control on its way down a hillside in Mystery Mesa Ranch, California, and rolled off a ravine, landing on its roof.

Though most of his early roles were as military men, reflecting his real-life service, he claims that he was a huge film enthusiast before he joined the Army, and always wanted a career in the movies.

Happy Birthday: Shawn Ashmore

Married to: Dana Renee Ashmore (27 July 2012 – present)

Playing a character who’s dealing not only with a superpower but having a normal relationship is easy to associate with, because I feel that everyone has been through it.

Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Le Guin’s stories are very different from Lord of the Rings.

Married to:
Andrew J. West (5 December 2014 – present)

I feel like hair is the number one thing that makes me feel beautiful or not. If I have really bad hair, but my makeup’s beautiful and I have a wonderful dress on, I’m still not happy. So if I wake up, and I’ve got 2 big zits on my face and my hair looks fierce, I feel ok. I have a weird hair obsession.

Born: October 7, 1979 in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Shawn always gets cast as the nice guy, and I usually get the jock, the bad guy, or the jerk.

We were I think normal high school kids. We liked to have fun, liked to party. But it was always, ‘Do your school work first,’ that sort of thing. We had all the same friends. We took all the same classes. We were always together

hollandrodenHolland Roden

Born: October 7, 1986 in Dallas, Texas, USA

Between Twitter and Facebook and how close you can be with your fans and how close they can be to you these days is, I think, quite miraculous. It’s like getting a greeting card every single day.

I always feel like everything I shoot is a student project, and nobody else knows about it. I forget, in the moment, that other people will see it.

Happy Birthday: June Allyson

juneallysonJune Allyson (1917–2006)

Born: October 7, 1917 in The Bronx, New York, USA

Died: July 8, 2006 (age 88) in Ojai, California, USA

Married to: David Ashrow (30 October 1976 – 8 July 2006) (her death)
Alfred Glenn Maxwell (1 April 1966 – 17 March 1970) (divorced)
Alfred Glenn Maxwell (13 October 1963 – 20 April 1965) (divorced)
Dick Powell (19 August 1945 – 2 January 1963) (his death) (2 children)

From 1963 to 1975, she had a long term, ill-fated romance with writer/director Dirk Wayne Summers, often announcing to the press that the couple would be married soon. She and Summers were the lead item in Walter Winchell’s then influential column more than a few times. They often traveled together through Europe. Although Summers apparently loved her and their life together, he refused her many proposals of marriage, much to her chagrin. Members of the nascent jet-set, they were frequently seen in Cap d’Antibes, Madrid, Rome and London, where they called Hugh M. Hefner’s borrowed Mayfair penthouse home.
