Happy Birthday Today
Happy Birthday Today to
David Hockney - The guy is 82! Absolute legend and very important to British Art. Obviously it is only my opinion, but now that Lucian Freud has passed away, you could quite easily mount an argument for him being the greatest living painter in England today. His knowledge of the history of art from the ancient Egyptians until the 20th century even as a youngster always marked him out as a special talent but his embrace of America and willingness to never stop learning and challenge himself made him into the colossus he is now.
Tom Hanks - is 63. Surely the last great bona fide 'Movie Star'. Not just a great screen actor but a presence who helps lend the kind of magic that Cary Grant, Stewart, etc managed to imbue their work with
Would have been Oliver Sacks Birthday too today but he died in 2015

Julius Caesar 100 BC . He is dead now.
Patrick Stewart he is 79 today being born in 1940. The Jean-luc Picard character he played shares his birthday but will not be born until 2305 ( That may win you a pub quiz one day) Saw him once in the National Portrait gallery and was going to say something but he looked like the last thing he wanted to do was someone to come up and ask him to 'make it so'.
Harrison Ford is 77.
Erno Rubik the guy who invented the cube is 75.
Cheech Marin is 73.
