TIDBITS® SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONOVEMBER BABIES

by Kathy Wolfe

Here’s a little research from Tidbits on all these folks, past and present, who claim November as their birth month. • Probably best known for her role as Dr. Izzie

Stevens on the ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” actress Katherine Heigl got her start as a child model posing for the Sears catalog. She moved on from this $75-per-hour job to her first commercial, a TV spot for Cheerios. Although she has recently starred in several movie blockbusters, she also has the honor of having starred in the lowest-earning movie in recorded history, 2006’s “Zyzzyx Road,” which grossed $30 at the box office.

• The parents of Condoleezza Rice took her name from an Italian music-related term con dolcezza, which translates “with sweetness.” The life of this 66th U.S. Secretary of State was filled with music from the age of three, when she began music, figure skating, French and ballet lessons. At 15, it was her goal to become a concert pianist. Switching her college major to political science set the stage for many of her achievements. However, she has never abandoned her music, still practicing every day, and she even accompanied the celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma at Constitution Hall at a National Medal of Arts Awards recital.

HOLLYWOOD -- “The Twilight Saga” fans are anxiously awaiting “Breaking Dawn,” Part 1, due out this month. However, Part 2, won’t be released until November 2012. The origi-nal “Twilight” cost $37 million and grossed $392.5 million. The second in the series, “New Moon,” cost $50 million and grossed $709.7 million. The third episode, “Eclipse,” cost $68 million and grossed $698.5 million. “Breaking Dawn,” parts 1 and 2, cost $263 million. There’s no doubt this saga has made big stars of its three leads -- Robert Pattison, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart -- but somehow it hasn’t transferred to other films.Pattinson’s $38 million “Water For Ele-phants,” despite Oscar-winner Reese With-erspoon as his co-star, grossed only $117 million worldwide. He has “Cosmopolis,” di-rected by David Cronenberg from his screen-play, with Paul Giamatti and Juliette Binoche, and “Bel Ami,” with Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci, coming out soon. The same problem befell Lautner, whose $35 million “Abduction” grossed only $71.6 million.

Stewart has fared even worse. Her $10 mil-lion film, “The Runaways,” brought in a paltry $4.6 million. She has two films due out, “Snow White and The Huntsman,” with (“Thor”) Chris Hemsworth, as the Huntsman, due out in June (the first of a trilogy), and “On the Road” with Sam Riley and Viggo Mortensen. It looks like they’ll have to make more films in the same vein as “The Twilight Saga” if they want their fans to support them!***The Liberace bio film, “Behind the Cande-labra,” starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, has found a home at HBO. Producer

Jerry Weintraub made his bestselling book, “When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead”, about handling Elvis, Frank Sinatra and John Denver, among others, into the hit HBO documentary, “His Way.” “I knew Lib-erace when I was a kid,” Jerry said. “He was Elton John and Lady Gaga before they ever dreamed of it! I picked HBO because of its huge subscription base.” Steven Soderbergh will direct and shoot in Los Angeles, Las Ve-gas and Palm Springs, where Liberace had homes.***Goldie Hawn’s second husband, Bill Hudson, has written a tell-all book about his four-year marriage to Goldie and his relationship with their two actor children, Kate and Oliver. Goldie and Kate aren’t thrilled with the con-tent of the book, and in fact, Kate and her fa-ther aren’t even on speaking terms. No word if the book will include his 18-year marriage to “Laverne and Shirley” star Cindy Williams and their two children.Look on the bright side, Goldie, he’ll be tell-ing all your secrets just for money, but you’ve always had more fame and money than he’s ever had, which makes him nothing more than a ... Gold-ie-digger!

I know this might be a little early, but will it return for an-other season? -- Chad G., via e-mailA: Normally, this would be a bit early for re-newal news, but since the show’s return at the end of October, its ratings have been through the roof. Season two ratings have eclipsed the stel-lar ratings (especially by cable standards) of the first season, so AMC has already renewed it for a third season. “The Walking Dead” depicts the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse following a group of survivors outside Atlanta, starring An-drew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal and Sarah Wayne Callies.***Q: I was sad to read in your column that “Sparta-cus” star Andy Whitfield had passed away. Will the production of the show continue after his death? -- Hallie E., Akron, OhioA: In March 2010, Andy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Production on season two was delayed so he could be treated. Unfor-tunately, his cancer returned, and he dropped out of the series and was replaced by Liam McIntyre. Andy passed away at age 39 this past September. Season two, with Liam as Spartacus, will return to Starz on Jan. 27, with the network already giving the green light for a third season to begin production in early 2012. ***Q: I have noticed the actress who plays Kensi on “NCIS: Los Angeles” appears to have two dif-ferent colored eyes. Does she, or am I just seeing things? I think she plays a good strong female part and would like to see her in more shows or

movies. -- Mary B., Virginia Beach, Va.A: Daniela Ruah, who has played Kensi Blye since the show’s premiere in 2009, has a birth-mark in her right eye, making it ap-pear almost com-pletely black, with her left eye being hazel. You’ll get to see more of Daniela

soon, as she co-stars in the feature film “Red Tails” with Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Bryan Cranston. She also is rumored to be starring in the upcoming “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune” with Bruce Campbell.***UPDATE: Hot on the heels of the news that Life-time picked up “America’s Most Wanted” after it was canceled by Fox comes the news of its premiere date. The 20-episode 25th season of the crime-fighting reality show will premiere on Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The show’s passionate host, John Walsh, said of the return: “I am ex-cited to be back in the saddle and working with Lifetime. We are the court of last resort, and with the show getting back to our weekly airing, we’ll have the capability of getting more fugitives off the streets and behind bars where they belong. We hope our observant fans continue the mis-sion with us, on our new night -- Friday -- and keep our capture number climbing while helping those crime victims who need us.”


ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep those sharp Sheep eyes focused on a hazy situation. As things begin to clear up, you’ll find a sharper picture emerging, showing something you will need to know.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Watch your expenses through the end of the month. Later, you’ll be glad to have extra money to pay for something that will make an acquisitive Bovine’s heart beat faster.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re now ready to make that oft-deferred com-mitment, if you still believe it’s what you want. Don’t be afraid to change your mind if you feel you should go in another direction.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Now that you are moving on with your life after that recent disappointment, how about reactivat-ing your travel plans and taking someone special along with you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Many new friends come into your personal life, which suits all of you social Lions just fine. How-ever, one new friend might make demands that you could find difficult to deal with.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Communication doesn’t exist unless it’s two-way. So if you’re getting no replies to the signals you’re sending, it could be time to look for some-one more receptive.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A workplace complication that you thought was ironed out develops new wrinkles that need at-tention. Meanwhile, expect continuing improve-ment in your home life.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A tense personal problem needs to be talked out before someone decides to walk out. Resist mak-ing decisions until full explanations are offered from both sides.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A technological glitch that caused problems re-cently will soon be repaired, and life can return to normal. A colleague has a surprising message to deliver.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your partner might feel that you haven’t been as open with him or her as you should be. Deal with this now, before it turns into something more dif-ficult to handle.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Good news: Many of the stumbling blocks that af-fected the progress of some of your career proj-ects are fading away. Things also start to look up on the home front.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’ll need that strong Piscean pluck to get through waters that will be turbulent for a while. A more positive aspect soon emerges, along with some welcome news.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are zealous in the pursuit of truth. You would make an excellent research scientist.

NOVEMBER BABIES (continued):• Most folks have heard of the Hubble Space

Telescope, an instrument carried into orbit by a 1990 space shuttle mission. But most don’t know that it was named for the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, the first to confirm the existence of galaxies other than our own Milky Way, a discovery made in 1923. A Rhodes Scholar, he studied law and set up a legal practice before realizing that his passion was astronomy.

• Bo Jackson achieved fame as the first athlete to be named an All-Star in two major sports, baseball and football. His birth name was Vincent Edward Jackson, after his mother’s favorite television star, Vince Edwards of “Ben Casey” fame. Jackson achieved his nickname when his family described him as a “wild boar hog” constantly getting into trouble. He signed with baseball’s Kansas City Royals as a left fielder in 1986 and started playing for football’s Los Angeles Raiders as a running back the following year.

• Goldie Hawn has a distinguished ancestor, Edward Rutledge, the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. This famous blonde actress is also an accomplished ballet dancer, having begun lessons at age three. At 11, she debuted in “The Nutcracker,” earning $1.50.

• The only child of famous automaker Henry Ford was born in November 1893. Edsel Ford grew up to marry into the Hudson’s department store family and founded Ford’s Mercury division. He also brought us the Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln Continental. Fourteen years after Edsel’s early death from stomach cancer at age 49, the Ford Motor Company introduced its new brand of cars named after him. Unfortunately, the Edsel was considered a commercial failure and was discontinued after the 1960 models.

• If you’ve seen any James Bond movies, you’ve heard the musical work of composer John Barry, who wrote the soundtracks for 11 of the films. The winner of five Academy Awards and four Grammys, he also composed the music for “Out of Africa” and “Dances with Wolves.”

• That bump on November baby Owen Wilson’s nose is the result of having his nose broken twice, once in a high school fracas, the other in a friendly football game. Wilson is no stranger to mischief, having been expelled from high school as a sophomore for cheating on his geometry test. He spent his junior and senior years in military school.

• Back in 1930, 18-year-old Leonard Slye packed up his belongings and moved to California, hoping to make it big as a singer. He played in several groups over the next few years — The Hollywood Hillbillies, Rocky Mountaineers, Texas Outlaws —before forming Sons of the Pioneers in 1934. The following year, he appeared in the first of his 100 movies. Along the way came a name change to Roy Rogers. He acquired his golden palomino Trigger in 1938 and was seen astride that horse in every single movie and television episode. (Trigger died at the ripe old age of 33 in 1965.) At the height of his career, Roy Rogers received more than 75,000 fan letters a month.

• Back in 1968, clothing designer Calvin Klein, armed with $10,000, started out with just a coat shop in the York Hotel in New York City. Gradually expanding over the next several years, he added the original designer jeans in 1974, using Brooke Shields as a model. He sold $200,000 worth during the first week after their introduction.

• Baby boomers will recall the daily farewell message, “And that’s the way it is,” given by CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite as he wrapped up the television evening news. He started his broadcasting career on radio in 1937 and brought

bulletins on World War II bombings and the Nuremberg trials. During his 19 years on the evening news, Cronkite reported the momentous events of Americans’ lives, including the death of Martin Luther King Jr., the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, the Iran hostage crisis and most notably, his emotional and tearful delivery of the news of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was the source for the news of the U.S. space program. Opinion polls named him “the most trusted man in America.”

• It should come as no surprise that movie hunk Matthew McConaughey was listed in his Longview, Texas, yearbook as “most handsome.”

NOVEMBER BABIES (continued):

He spent one year of high school as an exchange student in New South Wales, Australia.

• The world’s first set of septuplets to survive infancy, Iowa’s McCaughey children, turn 14 this month. Born nine weeks early, the three girls and four boys consumed 42 bottles and required 52 diapers daily during their first several months. These days the family goes through seven dozen eggs and five gallons of milk every week.

• Talent seems to run in the family of Kevin Eubanks, former leader of the “Tonight Show” band. A classical pianist/organist mother and jazz pianist uncle no doubt contributed to Eubanks’ prowess, as well as two musical brothers, one a trombonist, the other a trumpeter. Eubanks is more than the jazz guitarist we see — He also plays trumpet and violin and has composed the scores for four feature films.

On Nov. 28, 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license in Stratford-upon-Avon. Six months later, Anne gave birth to their daughter, Susanna, and two years later, to twins.

On Dec. 4, 1928, “Dapper Dan” Hogan, a St. Paul, Minn., saloonkeeper and mob boss, is killed when someone plants a car bomb un-der the floorboards of his new Paige coupe. The first car bomb was a horse-drawn-wag-on bomb that exploded in 1920 outside the J.P. Morgan Company’s offices in New York City.

On Nov. 29, 1942, coffee joins the list of items rationed in the United States. Ration-ing was generally employed to guarantee a fair distribution to all citizens and to give pri-ority to military use in World War II.

On Nov. 30, 1989, Aileen Wuornos, Ameri-ca’s first female serial killer, picks up her first victim in Palm Harbor, Fla. She would kill a total of seven men in the next year. When caught, Wuornos confessed but claimed that they had all been killed in self-defense.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic (popularly known by a line from the chorus, Glory, glory hallelujah) was written by Julia Ward Howe in November of 1861 after the author made a trip to Washington, D.C., and re-viewed Union troops near the city. The song was published the following February in The Atlantic Monthly magazine, earning Howe a grand total of $4 for what was destined to become one of the most popular songs of the Civil War and a perennial American classic.

When cartoon icon Bugs Bunny first ap-peared, in 1935, he was called Happy Rabbit.

If you’re a cat owner, it probably will come as no surprise that cats spend approximately 80 percent of their time sleeping.

Becoming a sports star is the dream of many young people, so you might think that someone who is signed to a professional baseball contract has it made. You’d be wrong, though; only one out of every 10 athletes who sign such a contract ever becomes a major-league ballplayer.

You’ve certainly heard the old adage lightning never strikes twice but, strictly speaking, it’s not true. Technically, lightning always strikes twice. Each lightning bolt is made up of multiple bolts that travel the same path and strike the same spot in swift succession.

Thought for the Day: I’ve noticed that men gen-erally leave married women alone and treat them with respect. It’s too bad for married women. Men are always ready to respect someone who bores them. And if most married women, even the pretty ones, look so dull, it’s because they’re getting too much respect. -- Marilyn Monroe
