Back in 1937 while I was under contract to Paramount, I sang on a five-minute radio program with another contract player from Paramount. A girl who’s done rather well since — Betty Grable. Betty and I didn’t do so well then, though. We couldn’t find a sponsor and finally gave up the program. I sang low tenor — or, should I say, high baritone.

[on Darryl F. Zanuck] Zanuck never did anything but be nice to me. Oh yeah, maybe he chased Alice Faye around, but a lot of people chased Alice Faye around.

Stefanie Scott

Born: December 6, 1996 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

I know it sounds cliché, but to give back is important. Sometimes we’re given so much, we need to do something for other people. I think that’s really important.

I love comedy. There’s just something so great about making people laugh. And for me, too, whenever I laugh, it just makes me feel so much better just watching a great comedy.

When I’m not working, I love going to the beach. I am from Florida, so I definitely love the beach life. I love horse-back riding. Just to go out to a barn, it’s fun. It’s kind of like a get-away from the city. And also, I love animals.

I love acting. I love singing. Eventually, I’d love to go on Broadway. I love New York so much.

Judd Apatow

Married to: Leslie Mann (9 June 1997 – present) (2 children)

Television is much more difficult because at every moment the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You’re in a constant debate with a gun at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it’s hard to win the arguments.

My wife tends to challenge me when I’m working on the female roles. She beats up on me about making sure they have the proper amount of depth and not just be there to serve the men. Obviously my wife makes me laugh a lot but she doesn’t see herself as a funny person. In fact, she gets mad at me if I say “How do we make this funny?” She just wants to make it real.

Janine Turner

Born: December 6, 1962 in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

My desire is to be a forgiving, non-judgmental person.

My desire is to let go of my ego and let in His direction.

The ranch was raw land when I bought it and, for better or worse, I have designed every aspect of it from the corrals, the arena, to the barn, to the house.

I wrote my children’s book because I believe there are children that are hurting and may need to know that there is love out there for them- God’s love.

I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.

Tom Hulce

Born: December 6, 1953 in Whitewater, Wisconsin, USA

[2008 interview with the ‘Seattle Gay News’, refuting the false rumors that he had ever been married to a woman and/or had a child with her] That information–having a wife and child–is false. In the world of the internet, there are many falsehoods. Anyone can write stuff on Wikipedia and it doesn’t have to be true. I’m comfortable being among the lists [of gay actors] although I stopped acting about 10 years ago.

[on working with F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus (1984)] Here’s the thing about Murray: he’s not just a superb actor, he’s a superb acting partner. Actor to actor, there was not a moment he was not with me.

I think the things that make people different are the things that make them the most beautiful.

If we take care of ourselves first, our spirits, our hearts, we can be strong alone. But when you find someone who adds to your life in a way you can’t, and makes you a better person, you become an invincible couple. Two strong, alive people inspiring each other daily. That’s the ticket.

JoBeth Williams

Born: December 6, 1948 in Houston, Texas, USA

Married to: John Pasquin (14 March 1982 – present) (2 children)

“I live in a town where if you’re a woman over 40, you’re really passé. In the movies, a Sean Connery can get Catherine Zeta-Jones as a love interest. But Shirley MacLaine can’t have Billy Crudup as a boyfriend”.

Now that I’m directing is where I’ve felt how difficult it is. Out of 200 or so movies made last year, only seven were directed by women. There’s been an enormous leap of women producers and heads of studios, but strangely enough, those women haven’t given other women a boost. It’s very frustrating.

Ashley Madekwe

Born: December 6, 1981 in London, England, UK

Married to: Iddo Goldberg (17 June 2012 – present)

I think the best way to keep a relationship hot is to simply try to make time for each other. That’s it.

When I first started working on ‘Secret Diary,’ I definitely felt like I needed to shape up. The idea of being in my knickers on TV was a great incentive! Now I try to eat right, and I go to Bikram yoga three or four times a week. I have my ‘naughty’ days, and I indulge in pizza and cake, but so what!

A colorful Chanel bag is a way to mix up anything.
