Happy Birthday: DJ Qualls

djqualls.jpgHappy Birthday actor DJ Qualls

Born: Donald Joseph Qualls
June 10, 1978 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA

QUOTES:

You know, so many people say TV makes you stupid. But it had the complete opposite effect on me. It kept me from having a really bad Southern accent.

The idea of sitting in a booth, and having someone pay me to sign autographs, seems so gross to me.

My face is distinct. It’s hard to confuse me with anyone else.
I’ve lived so frugally for so long. I have to have that financial security or the world feels out of control for me.

Celebrity is a gift. I’m very lucky.

I have been to Graceland a hundred times. Every kid in middle Tennessee has this night where it hits midnight, and they are like, ‘Let’s go to Graceland!’ It’s a rite of passage. I did it.

I grew up in a town with no movie theater. TV was my only link to the outside world. Film wasn’t such a big deal to me. It was TV. So much so, that when I meet TV stars now… Not my co-workers, but real TV stars, I get nervous. I freak out around them.

I grew up in a rural area. I grew up in deep southern middle Tennessee, probably about thirty miles from the Alabama border. There’s nothing there, really. And the TV was my link to the outside world. It’s what kept me from going into factory employment. It’s what made me want to go to college. It was really inspiring.

Happy Birthday: Shane West

shanewest.jpgHappy Birthday actor Shane West

Born: Shannon Bruce Snaith
June 10, 1978 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

QUOTES:

(On girls) ” The first thing I notice is their eyes and smile. I’m not a big make-up fan; I like them to be natural.”

(On moving when he was younger) ” My sister and I were the only white people in school. It was the nicest group of kids I’ve ever run into.”

While watching the New Orleans Saints (on television), I got angry and punched my bed, and then my remote control flew up and hit me in the head. My girlfriend didn’t stop laughing for an hour.

What’s not to love about Maggie? I mean, she’s the consummate professional, and she can kick some serious butt. She has something that’s real- she’s very caring. And she brings those emotions to her character.

Happy Birthday: Robert Cummings (1910–1990)

Born: Charles Clarence Robert Orville Cummings

Died: December 2, 1990 (age 80) in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA

QUOTES:

[on his lifelong devotion to healthy eating] I’d love to tell all those critics how well I feel today because of my diet. But they’re all dead.

The girls have it easy, everything they wear in pictures is suppled by the studio- their dress, stockings, shoes, underwear, jewelry, hair, even their falsies. They could arrive at the studio naked, if they cared to. But the actor has to pay for everything himself. He even has to bring his own toupee, if he wears one.

I had to have a sharp wardrobe and a fancy car and foot the bill at the night clubs. And my date, who was earning 10 times as much as I was, would brag about how she borrowed her dress and furs from the studio.

[complaining that none of the actor’s wardrobe–theoretically a part of the tools of his job–is tax-deductible] Every year I used to take my clothes and still photos from my pictures to the Post Office building in Hollywood. I would explain to the income tax people how I used which suit in which picture. This year, they decided clothes weren’t deductible, even though I have to dress well in my job.

[In 1949] I figure producers are paying me a lot of money and I ought to dress well.
