27 December 2013

 Birthdays
Laurence Belcher b. 1995 (X-Men: First Class, Doctor Who)
Emilie de Ravin b. 1981 (Once Upon a Time, Lost, The Hills Have Eyes, Roswell, BeastMaster [TV])
Aaron Stanford b. 1975 (The Hills Have Eyes, X2, X-Men:The Last Stand)
Heather O’Rourke b. 1975 died 1 February 1988 (Poltergeist I, II and III)
Thomas Wilson Brown b. 1972 (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids)
 A lot of the younger names on today's birthday list are best known for their work as child actors, including Heather O'Rourke, the little girl in the Picture Slot who tragically died at the age of 12 from a heart attack. Emilie de Ravin is probably the best known face on the list from her work on TV.

Best birthday wishes to all the living on the list and best wishes to the family and friends of Heather O'Rourke, who died much too soon.


Favorite predictions published in 2013

Prediction: In 2012, young people will get all their music from computers the size of industrial washing machines.

Predictor: Archie comics, 1972

Reality: I love the Jetsons feel to the clothing styles in this one, and Archie using a hip 1970s term like "grooving". This one was sent to me by regular reader Leo Lincourt, and it happens to be his birthday today. Happy birthday, Leo!

Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!

One last prediction on my list of favorites this year.

Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!

  1. I actually purchased the contents of Heather O'Rourke's wallet from her uncle. One of the items I still own are one (1) "The Official Archie Club Membership Card" signed in her handwriting "Heather M. O'Rourke."
