The great classic Hollywood actor Dan Duryea was BOTD in 1907 and died too soon in 1968 at the tender age of 61. He was equally at home in Westerns and Noirs. At his passing, the NY Times called him "a heel with sex appeal." RIP

USA filmmaker, actor, painter, and musician David Lynch (Capricorn? Aquarius?) was BOTD in 1946 and died in 2025 at the age of 78. My favourite Lynch film is the harrowing, nightmarish "Inland Empire" (2006), one of the most brutal films about Hollywood ever made

Fellow January Capricorn director John Boorman was BOTD in 1933, turning 93 today! His "Deliverance" (1972) is a masterpiece, one of the best films about masculinity ever made & one of my favourite films of the 70's, maybe even all time. "Point Blank" (1967) is a cult classic
