Better late than never...!
My cousin's daughter Michelle is twenty five today.
The big celebrity birthday is, of course, Paul Newman. Eighty today! And what a legend! Funny thing is, in my youth, whilst I liked him, I never put him in my pantheon. This is a man who just a few weeks ago walked away unscathed from a fire in a sports car he was test driving. The 'walked away unscathed' is quite secondary to the fact that he's competing in motor sport at his age. What a geezer! I can't decide which picture of him to post, so just follow the link
Other birthdays of significance:
1905 Maria von Trapp
1914 Kaye Webb, of Puffin Books and the Puffin Club
1922 Michael Bentine, the 'fourth' Goon
1928 Eartha Kitt
1944 Marti Caine. imdb says she died in 1995. Surely that's not true, is it?
1945 Jacqueline du Pré, best cellist, ever
1963 Andrew Ridgeley, of Wham!
1963 Jose Mourinho, chelsea's manager and verboten on this 'ere blog.
