Born near the 4th of July

 









    It's that time of year again. Close to mid-summer and the grills start getting hot. Yep. 4th Of July is only two days away. What got me thinking...was about the people born around this time of year. Granted I'm born close to Christmas and its hell, but people that have a summer birthday would embrace it. Having fireworks coming out, having the chance to host pool parties and what not, but...who are these people born around this time of year?


   Let's start...with today.


  July 2nd:










Larry David- The co-creator of Seinfeld and creator of Curb your Enthusiasm. This comedian makes me laugh in any show and any situation he's in. He even does a good Bernie Sanders impersonation before realizing they were actual cousins. LOL Happy birthday to a funny comedian.









Lindsay Lohan- I remember her start on the reboot of Parent Trap. She did pretty well with some Disney movies. She also was in a reboot of Freaky Friday (which wasn't as great as the original, but still good) Mean Girls, you name it. But it all crashed down when she ended up arrested so many times. Now, she seems to be back on track on where she is and where she wants to go.










Margot Robbie- Celebrating a birthday today, she is known as Barbie, Harley Quinn and many other great roles she is in. What do I think of her? She's very talented, but sometimes I get her and Jennifer Lawrence (birthday on August 15th) I guess sometimes great actors can confuse use from what they are wearing to their hair color. Margot Robbie is bound for another Barbie performance in the near future.


July 3rd:









Tom Cruise- Ever heard of the movie "Born on the 4th of July", Tom starred in that movie, but he was born on the 3rd of July. Should have changed that title. He was also in movies like "Mission Impossible", "Top Gun", "Risky Business", Rain Man" and much more. He even was married to Nicole Kidman and said that he loved Katie Holmes while jumping on a couch on Oprah. 










Kurtwood Smith- If you ever seen the movie "Dead Poet's Society" or watched the hit show "That 70's show", you would have heard of this man. He is still acting today. Sometimes voice acting and going back to being his best character in "That 90's show" (which I don't find as great as the original.)










Yeardley Smith- This actress (who's not related to Kurtwood) is more than just Lisa Simpson, you need to look deeper. She has been in movies. Some hits like "Legend of Billie Jean" with Helen Slater, and failures like the Stephen King directed "Maximum Overdrive", she does very well in her acting career as well as voicing a yellow character for over thirty years.


July 4th: INDEPENDENCE DAY








Calvin Coolidge- It's strange. We've known about both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams dying on the 4th of July, but rarely many of us never knew there was one president born on the 4th of July. Calvin Coolidge who was the 30th president of the US. He's done a lot that not many people know. But now, they know when he was born. The same day as the US.










Post Malone- Real name Austin Richard Post. He started his singing career in the early 2010's, but really didn't get going until his hit white inversion. He even has done some amazing hits with the Spiderman Movie and collaborations with other singers. A rapper born.... on the 4th of July









Gloria Stuart- An actress famous playing an elderly woman in the movie "Titanic", she was only one years old when it really happened. She was in other movies like "The old dark house" and worked with Shirley Temple in a few movies like "Poor little rich girl." But I'll always remember her as Old Rose in Titanic.


July 5th:








Edie Falco- Mostly seen on TV, Edie Falco was known for her role as Camela Soprano on the hit show "Sopranos" but she has been in movies as well working with Woody Allen in a small role in "Bullets over Broadway" After Sopranos ended, she became Nurse Jackie. How long did that show last.? Not as long as the Sopranos. She's still around today, but not in many shows as she was before.










Ji Chang Wook- With the rise of Korean singers and actors, this man was born on the fifth of July. Staring in mostly Korean movies and TV shows, Ji Chang is more remembered in Korea, but is getting a big notice in the USA. Staring in hits like "Healer", "Fingers" and his recant show starring in "Welcome to Samardal-ri"








   Having a birthday the same time as having a 4th of July barbecue with family is fine. Not as bad as if you had a birthday like I do. Wishing everyone, including America, a happy birthday this week. Till then, watch of fireworks.
