Happy Birthday: Britt Ekland

brittekland.jpgBritt Ekland

Born: October 6, 1942 in Stockholm, Sweden

Had an affair with rocker Rod Stewart in the mid-’70s, and sang French on his smash hit “Tonight’s the Night”. When she found out he was unfaithful to her, she filed a $12.5-million palimony suit, claiming that she gave up much of her career for him and that she deserved a large portion of his income as compensation. The lawsuit was dismissed by the courts.

[on Peter Sellers] I would squirm with embarrassment at the demeaning lengths he would go to in order to ingratiate himself with the Royal Family.

[on Warren Beatty] Warren is the most divine lover of all. His libido was as lethal as high-octane gas. I had never known such pleasure of passion in my life.

Happy Birthday: Jeremy Sisto

Born: October 6, 1974 in Grass Valley, California, USA

Married to: Addie Lane (13 October 2009 – present) (2 children)

I tend to (get cast) as dark characters, and I’m more drawn to those characters anyway – they’re usually more interesting. Plus, I got this deep voice from my father, and the combination of the timbre of my voice and my inflections tends to make people feel that there’s some darkness there.

Died Today (October 5th): Steve Jobs (1955–2011)

stevejobsSteve Jobs (1955–2011)

Born: February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California, USA
Died: October 5, 2011 (age 56) in Palo Alto, California, USA

Married to: Laurene Powell (18 March 1991 – 5 October 2011) (his death) (3 children)

[about how he and partner Steve Wozniak tried to get major computer companies interested in their personal computer, which turned out to be the Apple] So we went to Atari and said, “Hey, we’ve got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we’ll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we’ll come work for you”. And they said, “No”. So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, “Hey, we don’t need you. You haven’t got through college yet”.

[on the difference between billionaires and regular people] Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
