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: Lara Pulver

larapulver.jpgLara 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

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.

Born: August 31, 1940 in New York City, New York, USA

In the season 4 Seinfeld episode, “The Pilot,” he portrayed an actor playing a character based on Cosmo Kramer. In real life, Hankin auditioned for the role of Kramer and was series co-creator Larry David’s first choice during casting, as he felt Hankin was most similar to his friend Kenny Kramer who the character was based on; however, Michael Richards was ultimately cast.

Happy Birthday: Sara Ramirez

sararamirez.jpgSara Ramirez

Born: August 31, 1975 in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico

Made her first video game voice acting debut as Lammy, the main protagonist of the PlayStation game “Um Jammer Lammy” from late 1998 to early 1999, and then in the summer of 1999 again due to U.S. censorship and religious and violent issues in Japan’s version of the game. She again made her recurring role as Lammy in the 2001-2002 PlayStation 2 game “PaRappa the Rapper 2”.

Happy Birthday: James Coburn (1928–2002)

Died: November 18, 2002 (age 74) in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA

[on Sam Peckinpah] Sam is, I think, a great filmmaker. Of course, he’s his own worst enemy. Sam is an unusual human being, and he needs to be treated like an unusual human being. He can create an atmosphere, whether he’s drunk, sober, pissed off or in a rage, or whatever. I mean, for about three or four hours a day, he’s a fucking genius. But the rest of the time he spends wallowing in a kind of emotional reaction to either good or bad memories.
