Katharine Ross, the stupendous American film, stage and television actress, probably remembered for her notable work in two of the most popular films of the 1960s: "The Graduate", and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", is 83 today.

Tom Selleck, American film and television actor, one of the best-loved television actors of the 1980s, who started his acting career with small roles in TV shows, whose film debut came in 1970 in "Myra Breckinridge", the adaptation of the famed novel by Gore Vidal, and widely known for his first major role as private investigator Thomas Magnum in the television show "Magnum, P.I.", is 78 today.

The role of Thomas Magnum was a blessing and a curse for Tom Selleck. The producers of "Magnum, P.I.", would not release Tom Selleck from his contract to appear in other projects, so he was forced to pass on the role of Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

@MariNisia Good choice-Tom Selleck was a bit of a crush of mine.  Very easy on the eyes and married to a British lady if memory serves me right?

 

Jillie Mack.

I remember seeing her in an episode of "ER".

And, if I remember correctly, she was a dancer, too.

Good taste, @Gooseberry Crumble;)

Gene Hackman, the exceptional American actor, one of the most important and respected actors of his generation, one of those actors that brings class to whatever he appears in, who was inspired to be an actor after seeing Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire", and began his brilliant big screen career with an uncredited role in "Mad Dog Coll" (1961), is 93 today.

Songwriter Mitch Murray is 83 today. He wrote early hits for Gerry & the Pacemakers, Freddie & The Dreamers & The Dave Clark Five and wrote the book How to Write a Hit Song (which apparently inspired a 12 year old Gordon Sumner to try his hand at writing), and later formed a partnership with Peter Callander, writing hits for Manfred Mann, The Tremeloes, Cliff Richard and Tony Christie.

 

He had minor chart success with his recording of Down Came The Rain, which reached number 30 in the NME chart.
