Re: Actors/Actresses born on July 3rd
 

I was going to say Tom Cruise, seeing as he's one of the few actors I for some reason know the birthday of. I do know he's 10 days older than my mother.

Re: Actors/Actresses born on July 3rd
 

Patrick Wilson is a beast ! Happy Birthday Patrick !

George M. Cohan claimed to have been born on July 4th, but many people believe that he was actually born on July 3rd. Some people even believe that he was actually born on July 2nd, but nobody seems to know for sure.

But most sites list his birthday as July 3rd.

Re: Actors/Actresses born on July 3rd
 

A thread dedicated to famous people born on July 3rd?

I don't know how the thread title is changed.

Re: Actors/Actresses born on July 3rd
 

I changed it, since the other one was kind of confusing. If you want to use this as some kind of ongoing "Born Today" thing that you'll be updating regularly, I can change it again.

If you decide to change it to a "Born Today" thread, some people who should be recognized today, July 4th, are the writer Neil Simon, and advice columnists Abigail Van Buren, (better known as Dear Abby), and her twin sister Ann Landers.

Yes I will update this thread regularly, please change the name to "Born Today" :(

Good Job, LiaBens and GBgoodies!

I like this thread.

Clara Bow is the reason I'm here. If it hadn't been for a chance viewing of Wings back in the early 80s I wouldn't be interested in classic films. I've watched most of her silent films, sadly some are lost.:(

Almost any documentary I've seen by Ken Burns has been amazing, I've seen many of them too.

Re: Born Today
 

Today's date was a good day for Muscle Men. I should've been born on today's date:(

Peter Bogdanovich, not only one of the great directors. But the best film commentator I've ever heard.
If you get a chance to listen to a movies DVD extra, movie commentary by Bogdanovich, do it!

It was a pretty good day for TV too. I love the old Saturday morning Krofft shows, and "Friends" and "The Mentalist" are two of my favorite shows. :)

Re: Born Today
 

I liked those Saturday morning Kroft shows too, especially Land of the Lost.

Speaking ofH.R. Pufnstuf (which I use to watch)...did you know that Penny Marshall auditioned for the role of Witchiepoo?

StagBillie Hayes

No, I didn't know that about Penny Marshall. She might have done a good job as Witchiepoo, but I thought Billie Hayes was great in that role. I loved Jack Wild on that show too. There was something special about him

"H.R. Pufnstuf" was a strange show, but it was a lot of fun. I still watch it every week. It's on one of the cable channels every Saturday morning at something like 6 AM. (I have my DVR set to automatically record it every week, so I don't remember the exact time or channel.)

Re: Born Today
 

You're just a kid at heart!:)

I also use to like "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters". The Krofts made some strange but fun shows. I never seen Lidsville. I remember Jack Wild he made the show interesting, him and his magic flute (Jimmy?)

I read that about Penny Marshal a week ago when I was reading random interviews done with her. She said she didn't think she was right for the part and really didn't want it. I guess only her and another actresses showed up for Witchiepoo (who was a great character).

I love "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters". I even have the series on DVD. I've seen a few episodes of "Lidsville", but IMO it's not as good as some of the other Krofft shows. (And the magic flute's name was Freddi. Jimmy was Jack Wild's character's name.)

I met a bunch of the Krofft actors a few years ago when I worked at a special Retro TV themed convention. Many of the actors stayed for a special after-party. I spent most of the night talking to Johnny Whitaker and Jack Wild. It was only about a year or two before Jack Wild died. Both Sid and Marty Krofft were supposed to be there, but only Marty showed up because Sid was sick and couldn't make it. I have a bunch of autographed dolls of H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmund from that day in my collection.

Butch Patrick (from "Lidsville") was there too, but I had already met him before. He's done a bunch of cons because he also played Eddie Munster.

Re: Born Today
 

Wow! GB, that's way cool and it sounds like you had a great time too.

I just read that Jack Wild passed at 53, too young! Have you seen Oliver! (1968) Jack played The Artful Dodger. I might have seen it but as it's a musical Dickens I should watch it again. Sounds like a fun movie.

Yeah, that con meet and greet was one of my favorites. (I think the only meet and greet that was better was the one with Stan Lee and Henry Winkler.) Jack Wild was such a nice guy, but he was so thin that he looked sick when I met him. (But he didn't seem to be sick at all.)

I love "Oliver!". It's one of my favorite musicals. I even have a bunch of the songs on my mp3 player. Jack Wild is fantastic as the Artful Dodger. IMO he steals the movie.

Re: Born Today
 

GB, now I'm really impressed:), you actually meet somebody who dated Cindy Williams, that's way cool in my book!

I know who Stan Lee is and for the comic fan that would be a thrill to meet him too. I'm going to have to get Oliver! I have such a huge list of 'too watch' movies from this site that I don't think I ever will get to leave the house.;)

I know the feeling about the huge list of "to watch" movies. I have a long list of movies to watch for the Movie Tournament that I already joined, plus the movies that made the 70s list that I've never heard of that sound interesting, and now I have a whole bunch of movies to watch for the upcoming 60s list, plus some that I want to rewatch before submitting a list.

And on top of that, there's a Top TV Shows list that I'm working on for the TV section here too. No wonder I'm so tired all the time. My eyes never get a chance to rest. :skeptical:

Re: Born Today
 

I used to love watching game shows, but I stopped watching them when the Game Show Network started doing so much annoying talking during the commercial breaks. It just ruined the fun of the game shows for me. (Now I watch court shows during the day.)

My problem with "The Price is Right" was that the prices on the west coast (where the show was filmed) was never the same as the prices here on the east coast, so I always got the prices wrong. :(

I looked it up and there's a new Match Game?
I liked the old one with Gene Rayburn. ----Oh look, Richard Dawson is 'embellishing' the facts.....again;)

http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2012...573-s6-c30.jpg

Back in the 70s, they tried changing the name of the show every year. I remember "Match Game '73", and then "Match Game '74". I'm not sure how long it lasted before they stopped renaming the show every year.

Nice Pics LiaBens:)

I actually recognize two of these people (I'm not real up on current actors). Peter O'Toole of course.....and Myrna Loy, (who I've seen in a lot of films). She started in the silent movie era. She was in a hilarious film with Cary Grant called, Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House (1948)

I'm sorry this is so late, but a car hit an electrical pole near here, and took out the power grid in this whole area. I've had no power all day long. :frustrated:

Re: Born Today
 

Nice list GB.

If it wasn't for Jack Warner, the movie industry would have been vastly different. The Warner Bros were knowing for doing 'from the headlines' top movies, sort of a 1930s version of the reality show. Oh and Bugs Bunny's home is Warner.:)


Gary Merrill is also known as Mr Davis...as in the husband of Bette Davis. Which could not be an easy gig.;)

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw some of the people who IMDB did not have listed on their home page. Some of these people deserved "top billing" over those who were on their main page. (The people in LiaBens' list.)
