Happy Birthday, Phil Lynott

These words I wrote, play and sing to you
do not convey the love I brought and bring to you

For this is a song for while I'm away, to say all the things I'd love to say...

                                                      from 'A Song For While I'm Away'

One of the most thoughtful, intelligent and distinctive voices in rock,

the Thin Lizzy vocalist, bassist and chief lyricist would have celebrated his 62nd birthday today.

He and the band would release a series of consistently great and diverse records that

deserve far more attention than were ever afforded by radio or record sales.

Phil would unfortunately lose his life due to complications

from years of drug and alcohol abuse in January of 1986 at the age of 36.

 

Here's Phil & the boys' rendition of 'Still In Love With You' from Live And Dangerous,
commonly cited as one of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded.

Happy Birthday, Catwoman

"It was so wonderful being on Batman because you could be nasty and mean

and in the `50s women could never - unless you were some B picture actress -

be mean, bad and nasty.  It was so satisfying; I can't tell you how satisfying it was."

Statuesque beauty of stage and screen, Julie Newmar, celebrates her 78th birthday today.

Most often remembered for her role as 'Catwoman' (for which she designed her own costume),

Newmar would go on to appear in many other programs including notable turns

in The Twilight Zone, F Troop, Bewitched, The Beverly Hillbillies, Star Trek, The Monster Squad
and Get Smart.  The sexpot would also appear in a 1968 Playboy pictorial at the age of 35.

"Tell me I'm beautiful, it's nothing.  Tell me I'm intellectual - I know it.

Tell me I'm funny and it's the greatest compliment in the world anyone could give me."

Happy Birthday, SuperSoul

Uschi Digard celebrates her 63rd birthday today.

Probably best known for her appearances in several

Russ Meyer films, her ample figure made her one of the

most popular men's magazine models of the late 1960s and '70s.
