Happy Birthday: Kate Walsh

katewalsh.jpgKate Walsh

Born: October 13, 1967 in San Jose, California, USA

My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I’d go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.

Happy Birthday: Kelly Preston

Born: October 13, 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Married to:
John Travolta (12 September 1991 – present) (3 children)

[While speaking to People magazine about John Travolta] Everything about my husband is sexy, especially his lips.

When I married John, I put my career on hold to be a wife and to have a child. Before that I didn’t have a fabulous career, but I was working. When I decided to resume acting, I had become Mrs. Travolta in many people’s eyes so I had to prove myself all over again.

It’s wonderful that the films are successful, but every new person who sees the movie is one less person I can be ‘Borat’ or ‘Brüno’ with again, so finishing a movie means having to say goodbye. Admitting that you’re never going to play the character again is like saying goodbye to a loved one. And that’s hard.

[on a scene in Hugo (2011)] So I have a bath with the dog. What happens under the bubbles is our business.

Happy Birthday: Tyler Blackburn

tylerblackburn.jpgTyler Blackburn

Born: October 12, 1986 in Burbank, California, USA

I have exes I’m friends with and exes I’m not friends with. It depends on what you decide together. I do think that sometimes trying to maintain that bond can be healthier than walking away.

I hardly ever remember my dreams.

My first kiss was with a girlfriend. And it was at a party. I think I was hopeful that that would happen, but I didn’t plan it. You know, honestly, I think if there’s a little too much planning, it’s almost just like self-sabotage. Because then, you want it to go a certain way and it just doesn’t. And then you’re like, ‘Awww, why?’

Born: December 9, 1922 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Died: October 11, 1991 (age 68) in Los Angeles, California, USA

Married to:

Evelyn Killebrew (1948 – 1951) (divorced)

Fred was a funny kid, and I got a lot of humor from him. For a while, we were in a Catholic school up in Milwaukee, and Fred used to get laughs pulling an electric iron around the floor, like dragging a dog on a leash. Every day he had a new thing going with the iron. Fred was a great ball player too. He tried out with the Chicago White Sox, but that was years before Jackie Robinson made the break, and he was too early.

Susan Wheeler Duff (19 June 1982 – present) (3 children)

(On The Green Mile) I think I was the second person cast in it, though I don’t know who the first person was. Frank Darabont, I had worked with a little in HBO’s Two-Fisted Tales series, before he directed The Shawshank Redemption. He called me up and said he was going to send a script, and the only thing he was worried about was that I would want to improvise, so I was quick to assure him that I didn’t want to improvise. I didn’t want to change his lines. You basically have to tell the director whatever they want to hear when you’re looking to get a job. That script was a script that everyone who read wanted to be a part of. Everybody who read it wept; it was just wonderfully moving.
