Happy Birthday: Will Smith

willsmith.jpgWill Smith

Born: September 25, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Married to: Jada Pinkett Smith (31 December 1997 – present) (2 children)
Sheree Fletcher (9 May 1992 – 10 December 1995) (divorced) (1 child)

[on refusing to kiss Anthony Michael Hall in Six Degrees of Separation (1993)] It was very immature on my part. I was thinking, ‘How are my friends in Philly going to think about this?’ I wasn’t emotionally stable enough to artistically commit to that aspect of the film. In a movie with actors and a director and writer of this caliber, for me to be the one bringing something cheesy to it… This was a valuable lesson for me. Either you do it or you don’t.

Happy Birthday: Jim Henson

jimhenson.jpgJim Henson

Born: September 24, 1936 in Greenville, Mississippi, USA
Died: May 16, 1990 (age 53) in New York City, New York, USA

Married to: Jane Henson (28 May 1959 – 16 May 1990) (his death) (5 children)

Died a few days before the weekend he was going to sell his company to Disney, for a reported $150 million.

Created the original Kermit the Frog out of his mother’s old coat and a ping-pong ball. In the beginning Kermit was not a frog, but a lizard-like character. He gradually evolved, and first appeared as Kermit The Frog in Hey Cinderella! (1969) and has remained so ever since.

I believe in taking a positive attitude toward the world, toward people, toward my work. I think I’m here for a purpose. I think it’s very likely that we all are, but I’m only sure about myself. I try to tune myself in to whatever it is that I’m supposed to be, and I try to think of myself as a part of all of us – all mankind and all life. I find it’s not easy to keep these lofty thoughts in mind as the day goes by, but it certainly helps me a great deal to start out this way.

Happy Birthday: Phil Hartman (1948–1998)

philhartman.jpgPhil Hartman (1948–1998)

Born: September 24, 1948 in Brantford, Ontario, Canada
Died: May 28, 1998 (age 49) in Encino, California, USA

Married to:
Brynn Hartman (25 November 1987 – 28 May 1998) (his death) (2 children)
Lisa Strain (18 December 1982 – 7 May 1985) (divorced)
Gretchen Lewis (12 March 1970 – 19 September 1972) (divorced)

I’m 49-years-old and I’m cautious of the fact that very few people in comedy have careers after age 50. I think there’s a notion in our society, and it maybe valid, that people aren’t as funny when they get older. It’s a stigma still attached to the rebelliousness of youth. I do believe that sooner or later I’ll get those great roles like Gary Sinise’s part in Forrest Gump (1994) or Tommy Lee Jones’ as Two-Face in Batman Forever (1995).

Happy Birthday: Nia Vardalos

niavardalos.jpgNia Vardalos

Born: September 24, 1962 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Married to: Ian Gomez (5 September 1993 – present) (1 child)

When I worked at ‘Second City’ in Canada, they brought me down to Chicago on a work permit. I was thrilled to be in Chicago. What I didn’t know is that you only make $65 a show. I was a child of immigrants, so everyone worked. I had a job at 16. And although I didn’t like that I’m very, very grateful for that now because it taught me to be self-supporting. It’s not like suddenly, when you become a working actor all your friends are in the same situation. I have friends who are still handing out flyers for their one-woman show and trying to make ends meet.

Happy Birthday: Brad Bird

Born: September 24, 1957 in Kalispell, Montana, USA

Married to: Elizabeth Canney (1988 – present) (3 children)

When I write things, often at the moment I’m writing, I’m thinking of camera angles; it’s not a separate part of the process, it kind of comes out all at the same time. So I have really strong opinions about how things are presented, but at the same time I’m thinking about things that I want to present. It’s like when somebody speaks, they assemble words in a certain way, but it’s not always that conscious, it just comes out. That’s the way film is for me.

Happy Birthday: Jessica Lucas

Born: September 24, 1985 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I would love to go into musicals. I got a chance to sing in Big Momma’s House (2000), and that’s something I would love to do more. But only in Broadway or in the movies. I don’t think I would ever seek a career as a singer.

The greatest part of the job was… that was for nine years it was a pleasure to go to work.

I’m always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny.

I would work with any one of them again in a heartbeat because it was joyous and incredibly easy.

I worked very hard to get Jacob’s Ladder (1990). At first, they wanted Susan Sarandon, Andie MacDowell or Michelle Pfeiffer. At some point, they wanted Susan Sarandon, and Madonna wanted the part. They auditioned all of them. I begged to be auditioned. I begged and begged and when I auditioned, the chemistry was right and Adrian [Lyne] and I were just taken with each other. I auditioned for six months, twice a week. The reason I kept going back was because Adrian was literally fighting for me to get the role.
