sofiamilosSofia Milos

Born: September 27, 1965 in Zurich, Switzerland

The role which first garnered her the international notice, was her strong performance in the critically-acclaimed HBO series The Sopranos. Sofia Milos recurred as mob boss, Annalisa Zucca, who goes toe-to-toe with Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). With this role she showed that she possesses the ability to be strong and powerful, while still remaining feminine and vulnerable and it’s these kind of performances for which she won an Artistic Achievement Award in 2010 in Banff and a Hellenic Times Award, in 2009 in NYC.

Nature is a big part of my weekend. Whenever possible, I take Friday and Monday off and spend four days outdoors. We should remind ourselves that there was something here before us, a force more powerful than us.

Happy Birthday: Meat Loaf

meatloaf.jpg Meat Loaf

Born: September 27, 1947 in Dallas, Texas, USA

[asked in 2003 interview whether he was born in 1947 or 1951] 1951. I have it on my passport and driving license. [I said 1947 in my autobiography] because I just wanted to maintain a constant lie. I was born in 1951 but see what a great thing it is, because everybody asks me? And I can keep it up–I can tell you I was born in 1952. Names and ages piss me off. So I just continually lie.

In the early 1980s, I got into a war with my management – they just kept on suing me and I lost everything. So I had to go out on tour to make sure the electricity stayed on.

Be the weirdest little weird in all weird town.

I’ve had this spirit-animal relationship with sweatpants. In a last life, I probably WAS a pair of sweatpants. They’re like the white trash of the fashion world.

lolakirke.jpgLola Kirke

Born: September 27, 1990 in Westminster, London, England, UK

The classical music scene was completely unfamiliar to me. It was something that I didn’t have the most fun associations around. A lot of people don’t – they think of older generations and stuffiness. But it’s not. You listen to the Overture of 1812, and you can hear a rock n’ roll catharsis.

I’m the only one in my family with an American accent.

Happy Birthday: Gwyneth Paltrow

Born: September 27, 1972 in Los Angeles, California, USA

I worked so much in my 20s and I really burnt the candle at both ends. I wasn’t too picky about what I did and I was lucky that I did some really good films, but I also did some really rubbish films, I think part of the downside about being so successful and winning the Oscar at the age of 26 is that I sort of became insouciant about the things that I chose. I thought, “Oh, I’ll just try this, it’ll be fun or I’ll do that for the money”. Things like that now I would absolutely never do.

I’ve been acting since second grade, and I just remember when I first moved to New York and I was living in Washington Heights with three other actors in this tiny apartment and busting my butt to get to the subway, walking to, like, five auditions in a day.

Happy Birthday: George Raft (1901–1980)

Born: September 26, 1901 in New York City, New York, USA
Died: November 24, 1980 (age 79) in Los Angeles, California, USA

[In a 1936 interview, discussing former jobs before getting into the acting profession] My one ambition then was to drive a horse. So I got a job driving a delivery wagon for a large grocery company. I drove up and down Ninth avenue like I was daffy. I raced all the other delivery wagons. I gave all the boys rides. Deliveries were always late, customers complained, and I was fired.
