The Fonz was the Yin to my Yang. He was everything I wanted to be because there was nothing cool about me growing up. I became good looking when I was 28, when Happy Days started. Suddenly girls were knocking on my hotel door. Being chased was wonderful with a capital W. Holy mackerel, yes! I was happy to take advantage of that for a couple of years.

Born: October 30, 1957 in San Francisco, California, USA

(On being a supporting actor) “As my wife puts it, as long as the leading man needs a best friend or an attorney, I’ll continue to work. You know you have to bring your own thing to it, and fortunately if you have a director offering me the part because he wants me to bring my own thing to it, I’m going to be able to do that. I like to think that I choose things that will have an impact on the story so I won’t be just a filler.”

Happy Birthday: Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

ruthgordon.jpgRuth Gordon (1896–1985)

 Born: October 30, 1896 in Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
Died: August 28, 1985 (age 88) in Edgartown, Massachusetts, USA

Was the 65th actress to receive an Academy Award: she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Rosemary’s Baby (1968) at The 41st Annual Academy Awards (1969) on April 14, 1969.

[on winning the Oscar at age 72, after more than fifty years in show business.] I can’t tell you how encouraging a thing like this is. The first film that I was ever in was in 1915, and here we are, and it’s 1969. Actually, I don’t know why it took me so long, though I don’t think, you know, that I’m backward. Anyway, thank you Bill, thank you Bob, thank you Roman and thank you Mia, and thank all of you who voted for me. And all of you who didn’t: Please excuse me.

Happy Birthday: Charles Martin Smith

charlesmartinsmith.jpgCharles Martin Smith

Born: October 30, 1953 in Van Nuys, California, USA

I intend to do things of artistic integrity. I grew up thinking that every movie should be The Graduate (1967). I don’t want to do something just because it might be commercially popular–it’s more important to do something that has meaning.

[on ‘Dolphin Tale’] A lot of this is far-fetched kid fantasy. But I wanted to bring an element of magic to it, and let us enter this kids’ world where things were a little scary and magical at the same time. I think people talk down to kids too much. I think kids’ movies can be great and carry the (weight) and (pathos) of an adult drama. They tend to get short shrift, but the kids are smarter than we give them credit for.
