[on being asked if there were any topics he would not joke about] Uh, yes. Rape. Rape would be one of them. I also stay clear of homosexuality or anything dealing with that right now, because it’s such a sensitive topic in today’s times. There are words I’ve used in the past that I wouldn’t use now because of the attention those words get.

evagreen.jpgHappy Birthday actor Eva Green

Born: July 6, 1980 in Paris, France

[about the sex scenes in The Dreamers (2003):] It must be very shocking for the American people, but what I don’t understand is why they are so crazy about that. I don’t understand why you can’t see naked people on screen but we can see a baby being killed. It’s quite strange. They’re too puritan, too uptight. [February 5, 2004]

Died Today (July 5th): Actor Carole Landis (1919–1948)

carolelandis.jpgHappy Birthday actor Carole Landis (1919–1948)

Born: January 1, 1919 in Fairchild, Wisconsin, USA

Died: July 5, 1948 (age 29) in Pacific Palisades, California, USA

Her final two films, Brass Monkey (1948) and Noose (1948) were released in 1948. On July 5, 1948, Carole committed suicide by taking an overdose of Seconal in her Brentwood Heights, California, home. She was only 29 and had made 49 pictures, most of which were, unfortunately, forgettable. If Hollywood moguls had given Carole a chance, she could have been one of the brightest stars in its history.

Born: July 5, 1950 in New York City, New York, USA

Married to: Sidney Conroy (1983 – present) (2 children)

“The Power of Love” from Back to the Future (1985) earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.

On Elvis: A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records. Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis’ keep getting better and better.

Born: July 5, 1979 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA

[on the concept of Another Earth (2011)] I think we were wrestling with the idea of the loneliness of life. You may have great close friends, a great lover or a great family, but there are certain things that you have got to deal with yourself. There’s this inner monologue inside your head.. What if it were externalized?

Married to: John Hopkins (1969 – 23 July 1998) (his death) (1 child)
Eugene Persson (14 March 1959 – 1969) (divorced) (1 child)

[on David Janssen, with whom she worked on 3 episodes of The Fugitive (1963)]: I loved him. He was so sweet. I felt sorry for him toward the end. Now they have several people as leads in a show, they have these huge casts, but David was that show. He had those long, long, long hours, and a role where he was always doing physical things.
