He stars in blockbusting movies [Pearl Harbor, Shakespeare in Love, Good Will Hunting] and is married with children to the beautiful Jennifer Gardner.

August 17th - Mae West is one of Hollywood’s original sex symbols. Yes, there was sex in Hollywood waay before Marilyn Monroe! West starred next to Cary Grant in She Done Him Wrong which was one of his first major roles and again in I’m No Angel. West was often scrutinized for her double entendres, sexual puns and not-so-subtle innuendos. Her scripts were often edited and censored for content. When Mae’s good, she’s good; but when she’s bad, she’s better. Who can blame her?
