Jennifer Connelly (Actor) .. Sarah
Born: December 12, 1970 in New York
Best Known For: A Beautiful Mind.
Early-life: Jennifer Lynn Connelly was born in New York on December 12, 1970 to Ilene and Gerard. Jennifer began modelling for print advertisements from a young age and her mother took her to acting auditions. Her introduction to movie-making was playing an aspiring dancer in Sergio Leone's gangster epic Once Upon a Time in America (1984). While filming Once Upon a Time in America, she also made her first small-screen appearance in an episode of British TV series Tales of the Unexpected.
Career: Connelly's first leading role was in Phenomena (1985), where she played a girl who could communicate with insects. She followed this up with Seven Minutes in Heaven (1985). She first came to the public's attention after starring in Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986). She went on to star in a number of films during the 1980s and 1990s, including Some Girls (1988), The Rocketeer (1991), Mulholland Falls (1996) and Inventing the Abbots (1997). More recently, Connelly gave an Oscar-winning performance in A Beautiful Mind (2001) and featured in Hulk (2003), The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), The Dilemma (2011), Salvation Boulevard (2011), Winter's Tale (2014) and Noah (2014).
Quote: "I so much enjoy being able to completely allow myself to be consumed by a role, and really grow in the process, once you've done that, it's hard to go back working on things you don't care about."
Trivia: She is fluent in French and Italian.
David Bowie (Actor) .. Jareth
Born: January 08, 1947 in London
Best Known For: His changing image.
Early-life: Born David Robert Jones in London on January 8, 1947. His mother Peggy was a cinema usherette, his father Haywood a promotions officer for Barnardo's. David failed the eleven plus exam but was already dedicated to music. In his teens, a friend punched him, resulting in one permanently dilated pupil. He formed his first band at 15 and later studied with mime artist Lindsay Kemp, whom he credits with giving him his interest in performance and androgyny. He also changed his surname to Bowie to avoid confusion with the Monkees' Davy Jones.
Career: Bowie's breakthrough came in 1969 when the BBC used his song Space Oddity for their coverage of the moon landing. Adopting the alter ego of Ziggy Stardust in 1972 made him a huge global star. Landmark albums Diamond Dogs, Young Americans and Low followed. He paired up with Queen for the 1981 chart hit Under Pressure and reached a commercial peak in 1983 with the single Let's Dance. Away from music, he had acted in a number of films, including The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (1983), and Labyrinth (1986), and as himself in the sitcom Extras. He released his 25th and final studio album, Blackstar, on January 8, 2016. Two days later, he died from cancer. He was 69. During his career, he sold more than 140 million records.
Quote: "Any list of advice I have to offer to a musician always ends with, 'If it itches, go and see a doctor.'"
Trivia: In 2014, Bowie won the Best British Male gong at the Brit Awards.
