He's great at portraying "every guy" which is probably why I loved Dodgeball!
Julia Stiles (29)
Ok, I loved her in The Prince and Me. Not the most thought provoking movie but I enjoyed the fairy tale aspect of it. I am rather fond of this hairstyle.
March 30
Eighty years old, can it possibly be? I best remember him as Gomez, of course, who would drive Morticia crazy everytime he spoke French.
Robbie Coltrane (60)
He is best known as Hagrid from the Harry Potter films but I liked him in Nuns on the Run and British TV shows. The title of the movie alone makes me giggle, me, a Catholic school girl.
How long has Mad About You been off the air? Too long! I also loved him in Aliens. I think that was the best movie of the franchise.MC Hammer (47)
Hammertime! Ok, here is an interesting tidbit, my cousin was one of his dancers. He met her in a dance club in Honolulu was impressed and asked her to be a part of his show. How could she refuse?
Eric Clapton (65 )
I remember when Eric Clapton was a part of Cream. I bet you don't recognize him in this video!
Tracy Chapman has many songs that I admire but my favorite is Fast Car.

Linda Hunt (65)
Oooh, a great actress in The Year of Living Dangerously. Now I enjoy her in NCIS: Los Angeles with LL Cool J (yummy!) but I also liked her in Kindergarten Cop!
April 3
Doris Day (87)
I am a fan of Doris Day because she is a champion for animal rights but I also love her for all the wonderful films and TV work she has done. I loved all the screwball comedies with James Garner, Rock Hudson, and others. Remember With Six You Get Eggroll? One of my faves!
Billy Joe Royal (68)
See if you can remember this far back when Billy Joe Royal was on Shindig singing Down in the Boondocks!
Oh to be 24 and know what I know today, what would I tell myself? I just happened to catch What a Girl Wants today on TV for the millionth time. It's one of my favorite cute movies and I'm sure it has nothing to do with Mr. Darcy, I mean Colin Firth!
If it's your birthday this week I wish you a happy one!
Good morning Bonnie! How are you dearest? This was a fabulous stroll down Birthday lane! MC Hammer knew your cousin? How cool is that.....I am wondering how things are going dear. I haven't heard back from you since I sent an email; I hope all is well. How is Sadie and Kitty? I am off all week for Spring Break and I am one happy teacher. Please write when you get a chance. Anita

Good morning dear friend! Thank you for coming by my post yesterday! Well, I am off to school after having one wonderful and dreaming vacation in my head! I spent time drawing and doing the things I love, and catching a little shut-eye.
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you and Sadie and Kitty! Anita
