Born July 17th

Thursday, July 17, 1952 - David Hasselhoff (TV actor: Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer)

"I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Check-Point Charlie. After my appearance, I hacked away at pieces of the wall that had the black, red and yellow colors of the German flag on it. I kept the big piece for myself and gave the smaller pieces to colleagues at Baywatch."

Thursday, July 17, 1952 - Phoebe Snow (singer, songwriter: Poetry Man)

"I had become a New York streetwise kid, but I was also kind of vulnerable. I had poor self-esteem, a poor self-image. No matter how many flattering things would be said about me, if a critic said I sucked, I would think, well, I guess I suck ... And, let's face it, I got mixed reviews at home."

Thursday, July 17, 1947 - Camilla Duchess of Cornwall (2nd wife of Prince Charles)

"Don't be silly. I've never achieved anything."

Tuesday, July 17, 1934 - Donald Sutherland (movie actor: M.A.S.H., Klute)

"Why would anyone not want [to deliver their own child]? It's so friendly! It's so sexy! And it's such a romantic thing to do."
