Happy Birthday: Ciara Renée

ciararenee.jpgCiara Renée

Born: October 19, 1990 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA

I did a lot of trapeze stuff when I did ‘Pippin’ and continued to do it afterward. Flying is so fun, and I was used to the harness idea, but these harnesses are like intense, full bodysuit things.

I’ve never really had a fear of heights; in fact, I love being up high, so hanging from wires high above everyone’s head has always sort of felt natural for me.

I wasn’t instructed to do any special training for ‘Hawkgirl,’ but I had started boxing a few weeks prior and stuck with that for several months leading up to the start of production.

Happy Birthday: Rebecca Ferguson

rebeccafergusonRebecca Ferguson

Born: October 19, 1983 in Sweden

[on when she heard about the job in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)] I was on a camel! In the desert. In Ouarzazat [Morocco]. Filming The Red Tent (2014) for Lifetime. I had just popped over to London to meet Tom Cruise to see if the chemistry worked and 12 hours later I’m back on the camel, wrapping up production and I got a phone call. They say: ‘You’ve got the next lead!’ So I’ll be back in Ouarzazat but on a motorbike! And there I was a month later.

[on what inspired her to become an actress] I wasn’t brought up in the acting world-my father is a lawyer. But as a teenager, I had the opportunity to audition for this television series: a daytime soap opera. And I got the lead part. I had just finished ninth grade in school, so I skipped what we called gymnasium and started working instead. And realized that this is a life I can see myself living.

Happy Birthday: Freida Pinto

freidapinto.jpgFreida Pinto

Born: October 18, 1984 in Bombay, Maharashtra, India [now Mumbai, Maharashtra, India]

This industry is for fighters and those who do not give up! It is very important to believe in yourself. Even when a hundred people rejected me, I did not lose hope and, finally, one of the biggest directors of all times [Danny Boyle] believed in me! Also working in this film [Slumdog Millionaire (2008)] has taught me a lot, not just in terms of acting but also about myself, which is an integral part of being a good actor!

Happy Birthday: Jean-Claude Van Damme

jeanclaudevandammeJean-Claude Van Damme

Born: October 18, 1960 in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, Brussels, Belgium

Married to:
Gladys Portugues (25 June 1999 – present)
Darcy LaPier (3 February 1994 – 1997) (divorced) (1 child)
Gladys Portugues (3 January 1987 – 1992) (divorced) (2 children)
Cynthia Derderian (24 August 1985 – 1986) (divorced)
Maria Rodriguez (25 August 1980 – 1984) (divorced)

I took his (Alex Van Damme) name, in fact from his father because his father sent me for the first time in Hong Kong to be a picture model. I’m not enough tall to be a catwalk model, plus too big for that, and we became very good friends and I took his name as an honor. Because my name, by the way, is too complicated, it’s Van Veren Berg, so in America it sounds like “Van Varen Berg” (said with American accent). So Van Damme it’s punchy, short, and clear. – [on adopting the name ‘Van Damme’]

Happy Birthday: Zac Efron

zacefron.jpgZac Efron

Born: October 18, 1987 in San Luis Obispo, California, USA

On why he chose 17 Again: Everything else that was around was either a musical or a high school romance, you know, and this was actually the biggest risk and the biggest challenge. I can relate to playing a kid – I’ve had a first kiss, I’ve had awkward dates, I’ve had fights with my parents… But one thing I’ve never done is gotten into a fight with my teenage daughter.

Happy Birthday: Chuck Lorre

chucklorre.jpgChuck Lorre

Born: October 18, 1952 in Bethpage, Long Island, New York, USA

The reason I changed my name was simple. My mother, never a fan of my father’s family, had an unfortunate habit of using Levine as a stinging insult. When displeased with me, she would often say/shriek, “You know what you are? You’re a Levine! A no good, rotten Levine!” So, for as far back as I can remember, every time I heard my last name I would experience acute feelings of low self-esteem. ….. My first wife was the one who suggested I change my name to remedy the situation. In fact, it was she who came up with the name Lorre, complete with the fancy spelling. I thought it sounded great. Chuck Lorre. Finally a name that did not make me squirm. It didn’t occur to me that in England my new name translated into Chuck Truck. But most interestingly, I had completely forgotten that when I was around eight years old my father’s business began to fail, forcing my mother to find work in a clothing store called… Lorie’s. Pretty creepy, huh? Did I abandon my father’s name only to unconsciously name myself after a place associated with my mother’s abandonment of me? Or, even creepier, did my ex-wife somehow know all this and propose the name Lorre just to screw with me? Hmmm… I was a no good, rotten husband so I certainly had it coming.

Happy Birthday: Peter Boyle (1935–2006)

peterboyle.jpgPeter Boyle (1935–2006)

Born: October 18, 1935 in Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA
Died: December 12, 2006 (age 71) in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA

Married: Loraine Alterman Boyle (21 October 1977 – 12 December 2006) (his death) (2 children)

[from a 1973 Rolling Stone article] Back in the fifties. I was an early fifties Jesus freak. I did it for about a year. I never spoke when I wasn’t supposed to speak. I was an acolyte in the order of the Christian Brothers. Yeah, yeah, I know — the Friends of the Winos. But I took it very seriously at the time. I pursued, you know, God, somewhat unsuccessfully for several years as a professional religious person, and then I forsook that life and took myself back to the world, and, through a series of incredibly stupid errors, became an actor. And after many hard, bitter years of struggle, I’ve achieved the immense fame I have now. Wealth. Happiness. Beautiful women throwing themselves at me. Believe me, it’s not at all it’s cracked up to be. Ahead of me, I can see only more stardom, with liberal does of obscurity.
