Today is John Goodman’s birthday (born in 1952) and I really liked him in Roseann. I found this article on FAME10.COM.

From FAME10:

Everything John Goodman does, he does well. The endearing actor has gained a very loyal and passionate fanbase over his notable career for many reasons, but most of all because he is one of those actors that it is just very hard not to like. From Dan Conner on Roseanne to his recent role in Kong: Skull Island, there is nothing that John Goodman can’t do, and no matter what role he takes on, fans love it, and despite his many years as one of Hollywood’s finest actors, he has remained rather elusive to fans. So, here are 10 things you didn’t know about John Goodman.

Off To War?

In the early ’70s, after turning 18, like so many young Americans, Goodman was drafted into the army for the Vietnam War, but somehow Goodman got out of it. “I want to take my physical. But they measured me two inches shorter than I am. They measured me at six foot instead of six foot two. I was eleven pounds overweight for that height. They told me to lose weight and come back, but by the time I was scheduled to come back, the draft was abolished,” he explained in a 2008 interview.

Charity Work

While John Goodman might be a Hollywood star, his heart lies in New Orleans where he has resided for years with his family and where he has stepped up to be one of the most charitable citizens. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the actor stepped in to help wherever he could and used his fame to appear in many recovery commercials in Louisiana. He also used his fame, alongside many fellow celebrities with ties to the area to bring awareness to the tragic Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Early Life

John Stephen Goodman was born on June 20, 1952 in Affton, Missouri, to Leslie Francis and Virginia Roos Goodman. When John was only two years old, his father who was a postal worker, passed away from a heart attack. Growing up with his siblings Elisabeth and Leslie, John’s mother worked as a waitress, a retail associate, and washed laundry in order to support the family. While in high school, Goodman focused on football and, after graduation he earned a scholarship to Missouri State University, but it was while there he discovered the drama program.

Being A Celebrity

Thanks to many of his on-screen personalities, John Goodman is known as a jovial and always laughing kind of guy, but that isn’t always the case. When it comes to being famous, Goodman has never been a fan, once stating, “Celebrity is a dirty word. People are conditioned to hate you if you’re famous or in show business. It’s that love-hate thing. They can’t wait for you to fail or get pulled over with a hooker or a stripper or a teenage boy with a lot of blow in the car.” Not to mention, his 2012 interview with The Guardian was anything but what the journalist expected. Of his interview with Goodman, Xan Brooks wrote, “From time to time, he emits a long, breathy groan, as though invisible doctors are subjecting him to some invasive medical procedure. I don’t know whether he’s exhausted or sick; whether he hates interviews or this particular interviewer. On balance, with the benefit of hindsight, I decide it’s all four of these things with the gas turned up.” After the interview went so poorly, the Brooks said he was “a little bruised” and so confused by Goodman’s mood that he even emailed Roseanne Barr asking her what their relationship was like on the set of Roseanne and what Goodman is like off-screen. Despite his interview experience with Goodman, Barr replied, “John is the funniest and deepest actor in the world. He has only gotten more open, more sweet, more expansive and giving, on-screen and off, if that were possible, since the Roseanne show.”

Getting Started

Although he became interested in drama in University, it wasn’t until after he suffered a career-ending injury in football that he actually took acting seriously as a career. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1975, Goodman left Missouri to go to New York City to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Thanks to a loan from his brother Leslie, Goodman was able to secure an apartment near the Theater District and began working as a bouncer, bartender, and waiter to make ends meet while he tried to get roles. After working on stage, he began landing TV and film appearances as well as commercials, and while starring in a stage production of Antony and Cleopatra in 1987, an ABC talent scout recruited the lovable actor for an upcoming sitcom — Roseanne.

Getting Sober

Despite his happy, and strong characters that audiences saw, off-screen Goodman endured many personal struggles, and one of his biggest was with alcohol. In 2007 the actor checked himself into rehab after he felt things had finally gone too far with his drinking. “It was 30 years of a disease that was taking its toll on everyone around me and it had got to the point where, every time I did it, it was becoming more and more debilitating. It was life or death. It was time to stop,” he told The Guardian in a 2012 interview while adding that the alcohol was affecting his work as well as his temperament, memory and depression. Following the completion of his stint in rehab, the actor simply stated, “For my family and myself, I voluntarily took the necessary steps to remain sober the rest of my life.”

Health Improvements

As well as getting sober in 2007, Goodman has taken many other steps over the years to improve his health. In 2003, the actor quit smoking and described it as one of the hardest times of his life. “I quit smoking a year and a half ago and I turned into a werewolf. I went nuts. I’ve been smoking since I was in junior high school. I did a couple of episodes of The West Wing two years ago and I was in the middle of one of these psycho things and turned around and smacked the stage door as hard as I could and my fist immediately swelled up. Thank God I didn’t break anything, but that was the last episode I had of nicotine withdrawal.” Of course, more recently, fans have noticed a major physical transformation in the actor after he shed over 100 pounds, going from 300 pounds to 400 pounds in 2010, and has continued his weight loss and healthy living since. Goodman revealed he took to journaling his diet, exercising, hired health coach Mackie Shilstone, and cut sugar from his diet while working out six days a week. “I know it sounds sappy, but it was a waste. It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your a– and figure out what you’re going to eat next… I want to live a better life,” Goodman said of his transformation.

Personal Life

John Goodman may be a well-known actor but he has never prescribed to the celebrity lifestyle, meaning he is often not in the headlines and he doesn’t publicize his personal life. The actor first met his wife Annabeth Hartzog in New Orleans while filming 1988’s Everbody’s All-American. The pair then married in October of 1989 and welcomed their only child, daughter Molly Evangeline, on August 31, 1990. Molly took an interest in the entertainment industry and now works as a production assistant on films.

Net Worth

After getting his start in plays, John Goodman’s first on-screen appearance came in a Burger King commercial, and he has seen nothing but success since! For more than three decades, Goodman has been in every genre through TV and film with some of his biggest and most popular roles coming with Roseanne, The Big Lebowski, The Flintstones, Coyote Ugly, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and more, not to mention his extensive voice work in animated hits such as The Emperor’s New Groove, Monsters Inc., Cars, The Princess and the Frog and Transformers. Most recently, Goodman has starred in Kong: Skull Island and Atomic Blonde, and is confirmed to have a part in the Roseanne revival series despite his character’s death in the show. Through it all, he has amassed an estimated net worth of $65 million.

Favorite Roles

Since officially beginning his on-screen career in 1983’s The Face of Rage, John Goodman has created a resume with over 150 acting credits to his name which is absolutely astounding. Of course, like all actors he has had many roles he is proud of while there are others he doesn’t look back on as fondly. During an appearance on ‘Inside the Actors Studio’ he revealed that his favorite movie out of them all that he has worked on was The Big Lebowski, but his favorite role was as Charlie Meadows in Barton Fink. Unfortunately for Coyote Ugly fans he simply said the only reason he took the part was “For the money. Honest to God, that’s the only reason I did it.”

Today is George Carlin’s birthday (born May 12, 1937 and died June 22, 2008).  In honor of his birthday, I found an interesting article on Mental Floss about him.

From Mental Floss:

George Carlin did more than make people laugh—he made them think. Over the course of his long and storied career, the legendary comedian released more than 20 albums, recorded more than a dozen HBO comedy specials, and challenged both conventional American thinking and governmental procedure. From being described as a “significant social satirist” in a Supreme Court ruling regarding indecency to serving as the conductor in Shining Time Station, Carlin touched the lives of generations of fans. Here are some facts about the comedian/actor/author in honor of what would have been his 80th birthday.

HE INHERITED HIS LOVE OF LANGUAGE.

George’s father, Patrick, was an advertising manager for the New York newspaper The Sun. He won a nationwide Dale Carnegie public speaking contest in 1935 with his speech “The Power of Mental Demand.” “He had a real line of sh*t, boy,” Carlin said of his father. “He could talk your donkey’s ear off.” Carlin’s grandfather, a New York City police officer, wrote out Shakespeare’s tragedies in longhand for fun.

GROWING UP, HE WANTED TO BE LIKE DANNY KAYE.

“Danny Kaye was my childhood dream when I was 10, 11,” Carlin said of the actor/singer/dancer/physical comedian/musician. “I kind of looked at that and thought, ‘Gee, I can do that … He makes funny faces, he talks in funny accents and he can do very, very intricate vocal pieces.”‘

HE WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL AS MARTIN SCORSESE, REGIS PHILBIN, AND DON DELILLO.

Unlike Regis Philbin, Martin Scorsese, and Don DeLillo, Carlin didn’t graduate from Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx—because he was expelled. In an interview with Playboy, Carlin admitted that he was failing subjects and running away from home for days at a time while he attended Hayes. His scholastic career included stealing money from the visiting team’s locker room during a basketball game, and getting caught telling kids on the playground he had heroin. In 1983, Carlin performed at a Hayes school fundraiser in honor of Msgr. Stanislaus P. Jablonski—the very man who threw him out. Despite the fears of some in the alumni association, Carlin kept his act clean, and Jablonski enjoyed the tribute. Jablonski at one point read old detention slips he had issued Carlin. One read, “He thinks he’s a comedian.”

HE WAS COURT-MARTIALED (MORE THAN ONCE) IN THE AIR FORCE.

Carlin worked as a radar technician on B-47s at Louisiana’s Barksdale Air Force Base. He smoked pot he had mailed to him from New York on the base; the others did not recognize the smell. He was court-martialed once after celebrating the Brooklyn Dodgers winning the 1955 World Series by downing cooking wine and telling off his tech sergeant. He was court-martialed again after falling asleep during a simulated combat drill.

HE HAD A LIFELONG INTEREST IN CURSE WORDS.

He wrote down the “most colorful” profanities he heard in his neighborhood and put them in his pocket. When he was 13, his mother found them in the wallet. Carlin claimed he overheard her saying to his uncle that she believed George needed a psychiatrist.

HIS ARREST OVER SAYING THE SEVEN DIRTY WORDS WAS ALMOST A LOT WORSE.

Carlin was arrested in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1972 for obscenity after giving a stand-up performance at Summerfest. What the six cops didn’t realize was that Carlin had cocaine in his pocket moments before they got to him.

During the show, Carlin’s wife came up on stage to bring him a pitcher of water, and to inform him that he should go offstage to the right, because police were waiting on the left. When he finished his performance, he exited, stage right, and handed the drugs off to a band.

HE WAS THE FIRST-EVER HOST OF SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, BUT DIDN’T REMEMBER THE EXPERIENCE.

He was “loaded on cocaine all week long” leading up to October 11, 1975, when he performed stand-up and introduced the inaugural episode’s musical guests, Billy Preston and Janis Ian. Carlin and the longtime SNL director Dave Wilson had gone to summer camp together as kids. For the Saturday night talent shows, a young George would do monologues. After years of Wilson winning the contests, Carlin finally beat him. (George eventually got kicked out of camp for stealing film from the owner’s camera to take his own photographs.) When Lorne Michaels interviewed Carlin about performing the hosting duties, he said, “Well, I know the director.”

Carlin was also the first-ever host of Fridays (1980-1982), ABC’s attempted version of SNL.

HIS SECOND OF THREE HEART ATTACKS OCCURRED DURING A BASEBALL GAME.

Carlin was taking in a New York Mets/Los Angeles Dodgers contest at Dodger Stadium with his agent in May 1982—Carlin was a Mets fan since the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to L.A.—when he had his second heart attack. After realizing the park’s first aid station was, as daughter Kelly Carlin wrote, “nothing more than a glorified place to get a Band-Aid,” their limo driver booked it to St. John’s Hospital. George didn’t believe it was as serious as a heart attack, but it in fact was an almost full blockage of the right descending artery. The doctors used an experimental anticoagulant, Streptokinase; they had gotten it that week. It did its job of unclotting.

HE LIED TO KIDS WHO RECOGNIZED HIM AS MR. CONDUCTOR.

A perk to Carlin taking the role of Mr. Conductor in Shining Time Station in the first place was that he didn’t have to deal with other actors, as it was all green-screened. But he would inadvertently traumatize children, who spotted him at airports—out of uniform and much bigger than depicted on TV. “I’m not on the island of Sodor, I’m not working today,” he would gently tell them. “But I am Mr. Conductor.” This didn’t lessen the kids’ confusion.

THE IRS HELPED HIM BECOME A BETTER COMIC.

About the Internal Revenue Service taking a large percentage of his money after years of owing taxes, Carlin saw the bright side of it all:

“It made me a way better comedian, because I had to stay out on the road, and I couldn’t pursue a movie career—which would have gone nowhere—and I became a really good comic and writer eventually, saving all my files and thoughts and things. I had to be prepared for that, because HBO was coming along, and about every two years—at my choice—I had to have another hour ready. So my having to stay on the road turned me into a g**damn good comedian. So there’s a bright part of everything.”

Today is Shirley Temple’s birthday (born April 23, 1928 and died February 10, 2014) and in honor of the day, I found this article on interestingfacts.com:

She Began Acting at 3 Years Old

In 1931, at just 3 years old, Temple earned her first acting contract with Educational Pictures. The studio signed her to appear in a series of low-budget shorts titled Baby Burlesks, which Temple later criticized for being “a cynical exploitation of our childish innocence.” While this project may have been problematic, it nonetheless helped jettison Temple into the limelight. She received her first speaking role in 1932’s War Babies, and later earned her first leading role in the 1934 film Little Miss Marker.  By 1940, at just 11 years old, Temple had already appeared in 43 films. However, she found it difficult to book new roles as she continued to grow older, and she appeared in her final films in 1949, thus ending her Hollywood career less than two decades after it began. Temple went on to make several sporadic appearances on various TV shows throughout the 1950s and 1960s, though she stopped performing altogether after that.

She’s the Youngest-Ever Oscar Recipient

The young Shirley Temple experienced a breakout year in 1934, as she appeared in a plethora of films that included such hits as Bright Eyes and Baby Take a Bow. Her impressive rise to fame was undeniable, which is why the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided to create a new Academy Juvenile Award to honor her at the 1935 Oscars. This honorary trophy was around 7 inches high, about half the size of a standard Oscar statuette. Upon earning this accolade, the then-6-year-old Temple became the youngest-ever Oscar recipient — a record she’s continued to hold for nine decades. (The youngest winner of a competitive Oscar is 10-year-old Tatum O’Neal, who won Best Supporting Actress for her work in the 1973 film Paper Moon.)

She Received 135,000 Presents on Her Ninth Birthday

According to biographer Robert Windeler, Temple had quite the memorable birthday in 1937. That year marked Temple’s ninth birthday, though not if you asked 20th Century Fox, her movie studio, who lied that it was her eighth birthday to keep her young in the eyes of the public. Temple’s immense stardom at the time meant that her birthday attracted the attention of fans around the globe. Those fans collectively sent Temple a whopping 135,000 presents, ranging from a baby kangaroo sent by an Australian fan to a prize calf gifted to her by a group of students in Oregon. This global outpouring of admiration just goes to show how popular Temple was at the peak of her fame.

She Disliked Her Namesake Drink

A Shirley Temple is a popular mocktail made using ginger ale, grenadine, and a maraschino cherry. There’s some debate over the drink’s exact origins, but one popular story is it was originally concocted to satisfy a “whining” Shirley Temple at dinner. During the meal, Temple supposedly lamented the fact that her parents were drinking Old Fashioneds — a cocktail featuring a maraschino cherry — and so the bartender cleverly whipped up a nonalcoholic version to placate the young star. Despite the beverage’s enduring popularity, Temple was never a big fan of the drink. During a 1986 interview with NPR, she commented, “I hate them. Too sweet.” Despite her aversion to the sugary mocktail, however, she fought hard to protect the drink’s name. In 1988, Temple sued several soft drink manufacturers who attempted to trademark and mass-produce “Shirley T” sodas, a bottled version of the mocktail, promoting it as “The Shirley Temple SoftDrink” without the former actress’ permission. She pushed back against the attempt, saying, “All a celebrity has is their name.”

She Served as U.S. Ambassador to Two Different Countries

Long after her acting career came to an end, Shirley Temple Black — as she was known after marrying Charles Black in 1950 — carved out a new career as a political diplomat. Her active involvement in politics began in 1967, when she ran for Congress to represent California’s 11th district, albeit unsuccessfully. Two years later, President Richard Nixon appointed her as the U.S. delegate to the United Nations, and she went on to deliver an impassioned speech to the U.N. General Assembly about environmental issues. During the subsequent administration of Gerald Ford, Black was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, a role she held from 1974 to 1976. She later became the first woman to serve as chief of protocol at the U.S. State Department, a post she held until Ford left office in 1977. From 1989 to 1992, Black played a pivotal diplomatic role once again, serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia (now Czechia and Slovakia) under President George H.W. Bush. During her time in this role, she helped establish diplomatic relations with the newly elected Czech government in the wake of 1989’s Velvet Revolution.
