FROM THE DAILY MAIL ARCHIVE DECEMBER 3, 1954 WHAT a gay time the Royal Family are going to have around the fire this Christmas! A space-gun and Dan Dare game for Prince Charles. A square-dance doll and a doll's pram for Princess Anne. Books for everyone. The Queen started her Christmas shopping with a two-hour visit to a Knightsbridge store yesterday. DECEMBER 3, 1996 THE drummer of the Smiths took his former colleagues Morrissey and Johnny Marr to the High Court yesterday and accused them of swindling him out of royalties. The court heard that Morrissey described Mike Joyce and bassist Andy Rourke as 'mere session musicians, as replaceable as the parts in a lawnmower'. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDAN FRASER, 56. The US actor starred in George Of The Jungle and The Mummy. But he said he was left 'in the wilderness' before winning an Oscar for The Whale. Enjoying his 'Brenaissance', he said: 'You can call me whatever you like, just as long as you're calling me.' JULIANNE MOORE, 64. The US actress starred in The Hours and won an Oscar for Still Alice. On peer pressure she said: 'Someone in the film industry said to me, "You should try to look prettier". I was like, "I don't know if I can".' BORN ON THIS DAY JEAN-LUC GODARD (1930-2022). The Franco-Swiss director of Breathless said all you need to make a movie is 'a girl and a gun'. Furious at a recut of his 1968 documentary One + One he punched the producer in the face. Cinematographer Raoul Coutard said: 'He can be a s***... but he's a genius.' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
