Born July 15th

Sunday, July 15, 1973 - Brian Austin Green (TV actor: David Silver on Beverly Hills, 90210)

"I'm in my room right now with all my movie memorabilia and I have so much Star Wars ... I'm such a nerd. I've got Darth Vader's helmet and Princess Leia's gun, and I've got Han Solo's gun and then all the light sabers, all in cases, the signed editions. It's retarded."

Saturday, July 15, 1967 - Adam Savage (special effects, TV cohost: Mythbusters)

"Jamie and I are not scientists. We're not experts in any field. But we have a lot of curiosity, and an uncommon ability to really throw ourselves in just about any corner of science, and really seek out what's going on. And when I get hurt, I think people like to watch it because they identify with us. We're not white lab coats, we're not, you know, boring doctors, we're just like anybody else, maybe with a few more skills."

Saturday, July 15, 1961 - Forest Whitaker (movie actor: Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland)

"Honestly, at the beginning part of my career, I wasn't sure if I should be [acting]. I didn't know if I'd be good enough to justify being on film. It wasn't until pretty deep in my career when I started to feel comfortable."

Monday, July 15, 1946 - Linda Ronstadt (country rock singer: Canciones de Mi Padre)

"It's very important for me not to have my middle age be a repeat of my youth, and my old age to not be a repeat of my middle age. I know there are certain things that I must do so that I won't be kept awake late at when I'm in my 60s and 70s saying, 'I wish I'd done that.' "

Tuesday, July 15, 1919 - Iris Murdoch (novelist, The Sea, The Sea)

"People don't have to like my books, but at least they can keep their mouths shut."
