Born: October 7, 1979 in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Shawn always gets cast as the nice guy, and I usually get the jock, the bad guy, or the jerk.

We were I think normal high school kids. We liked to have fun, liked to party. But it was always, ‘Do your school work first,’ that sort of thing. We had all the same friends. We took all the same classes. We were always together

Born: October 7, 1986 in Dallas, Texas, USA

Between Twitter and Facebook and how close you can be with your fans and how close they can be to you these days is, I think, quite miraculous. It’s like getting a greeting card every single day.

I always feel like everything I shoot is a student project, and nobody else knows about it. I forget, in the moment, that other people will see it.

Happy Birthday: June Allyson

Born: October 7, 1917 in The Bronx, New York, USA

Died: July 8, 2006 (age 88) in Ojai, California, USA

Married to: David Ashrow (30 October 1976 – 8 July 2006) (her death)
Alfred Glenn Maxwell (1 April 1966 – 17 March 1970) (divorced)
Alfred Glenn Maxwell (13 October 1963 – 20 April 1965) (divorced)
Dick Powell (19 August 1945 – 2 January 1963) (his death) (2 children)

From 1963 to 1975, she had a long term, ill-fated romance with writer/director Dirk Wayne Summers, often announcing to the press that the couple would be married soon. She and Summers were the lead item in Walter Winchell’s then influential column more than a few times. They often traveled together through Europe. Although Summers apparently loved her and their life together, he refused her many proposals of marriage, much to her chagrin. Members of the nascent jet-set, they were frequently seen in Cap d’Antibes, Madrid, Rome and London, where they called Hugh M. Hefner’s borrowed Mayfair penthouse home.

Happy Birthday: Simon Cowell

Born: October 7, 1959 in Lambeth, London, England, UK

If you would have asked me what I thought of America before I came over here I would have used the word “corny”. And then you come over here and you find that it’s not corny at all. British people are very cynical, they cannot bear someone else’s success. Americans embrace other people’s success. Everything in America is larger than life.

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.
