Being nerdy just means being passionate about something, including everyone – the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is, whether it’s sports, or gaming, or technology, or fashion, or beauty, or food, or whatever.

The bad boy: always more fun. It’s funny. When you’re in your early 20s, you go ahead and do everything. And it’s very hard to judge yourself. It’s like when you’re in drama school, and you’re playing a 60-year-old in Russian plays, and you get criticized, and you say, ‘What the hell, I’m an 18-year-old trying to be a 60-year-old Russian?’ But the bad boy, I had a knack for it from the start.

Born: September 28, 1916 in South Kensington, London, England, UK
Died: January 14, 1977 (age 60) in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA

Married to: Eletha Finch (9 November 1973 – 14 January 1977) (his death) (1 child)

[on screenplays]: It really is no good getting surgeons in, the script has to be right at the beginning; and it has taken me, I’m ashamed to say, some thirty years to find out that you mustn’t listen to anybody at lunch any more.

Success is a very tough mistress. For years, while you’re struggling, she wants nothing to do with you. Then, one day you find yourself in the room with her and even though the key is on the inside, you can’t leave. ‘You’ve made your choice’, she says, ‘I don’t care how exhausted you are – you’re going to stay here for the rest of your life making love to me’.

I always get billed as ‘Dita, internationally known fetish supermodel’.

I’m really a small town girl from Michigan who has a good laugh that being a fancy-pants stripper got me here!

Some people say what I do isn’t very liberating. I say it’s pretty liberating to get $20,000 for 10 minutes work.

Born: September 28, 1943 in San Francisco, California, USA
Died: February 27, 1998 (age 54) in La Mesa, California, USA

(1997) I like to read fiction because it transports me away from Hollywood, and I like travel novels. I also drive up the coast to Santa Barbara to escape and get out of town. I stay the most at the San Ysidro Ranch. It’s a quiet and simple, protected village and no one bothers you. It’s also very pretty.

My intentions as an actor are always to make whatever I’m doing work. I look for the piece to be good as a whole and then, hopefully, to have something good for myself as an actor. I’ve always been intent on giving to both the project and myself.

[why she retired from acting at 39] I tried to make myself as pretty as possible and even then I thought I was ugly. I found it madly difficult to go out, to show myself. I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

[on Sarah Palin] By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe.

I love a lot of comedy movies. I think I fell in love with comedy when I was younger. My brother and I would always sit down and watch some of the classics. ‘Bottle Rocket’ is one of my favorite comedies.

Died: July 19, 2014 (age 21) in Houston, Texas, USA

On July 19, 2014, McCole Bartusiak was found dead in her apartment behind her parents’ Houston home. Her mother told CNN and the Associated Press that the actress was found by her boyfriend, sitting up in her bed; she began CPR on her daughter before paramedics arrived, who then worked “for 45 minutes” to no avail. Helen McCole Bartusiak said Skye “had been healthy and did not drink or do drugs”, and had recently been suffering from epileptic seizures and that this likely played a role in her death.
