birthday: famous and less famous

Goyathlay (Geronimo) died in 1909 on February 17th at Fort Sill, Oklahoma…. Not an actor, of course, but he certainly has had several actors attempt to portray him in films…

Patsy Kentsit,

bon anniversaire,
to two actresses i don't especially like:

Ornella Muti 1955
Juliette Binoche 1964

She was in Absolute Beginners so nope.
