Norma, growing younger by the site The old adage that a lady never tells her age, really struck home with 1930s Hollywood Actress Norma Shearer. Whether it was intentional or not, she has a few birth charts out there — four in fact. The popular one for astrologer is on Astro.com and says she was born 1900. I think that one can be discarded — it makes her too old for her debut in New York. The next two are strong contenders, and are just one year apart. The first is from Marc Jones 1000 Nativities with the entry of…

I happened to catch this porn-sci fi the other night and I was struck that only two people put in good performances: Rip Torn and Candy Clark. I’m not alone in my opinion — in John Willis’ 1974 Film Annual “Screen World” book thought she was one of the more “promising actors” on the horizon — he was basing that on her performance in George Lucas’s American Graffiti where she was terrific, and very pretty. I think that counts for a lot, especially these days, as most on t.v. and even on the runaway, aren’t.

Born Mary Warren Anglin on April 3rd, 1876 in Ottawa, Ontario, it was as Margaret Anglin she found Broadway success. The youngest of nine children of newspaper editor and politician Timothy Warren Anglin (1822–1896) by his second wife, Ellen MacTavish it doesn’t seem much of her child hood destined her for the stage except being held by Oscar Wilde, novelist cum playwright, a guest of her father, when she was six years old, probably during Wilde’s first visit to America via the SS Arizona in 1882, when he conducted a 140 Lecture Tour across North America (US and Canada). Her…

Last night Ruta Lee appeared on the Fugitive, the second part of the d episode ANGELS TRAVEL ON LONELY ROADS as a redhead. I remembered her from Hollywood Squares that my grandmother faithfully watched, so naturally I did her chart and went to her website, the eponymously named Ruta Lee, to learn more. Ruta was born in Montreal Canada to Lithuanian emigres on May 30th 1935, time unknown but I have pegged her ascendant to 12 Cancer or the Sabian Symbol of “a Chinese woman nursing a baby who is a glorious nimbus of divine incarnation.” Marc Jones says this symbol…

Dolly Parton has a new series on Netflix called Heartstrings. This is just another notch in her very successful acting-music career. The starter for the series is her number #1 hit, Jolene, a country ballad of a “hussy” trying to steal Dolly’s husband. It debuted in 1973 and was a surprise hit as heavy metal (Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath) & country rock and roll (Poco, the Eagles. Rolling Stones (who played both sides of that bill) ) were battling for the top of the chart. Jolene’s success showed the American appetite for heartfelt ballads had yet to abate,…

We’ve rectified J Law for a birth time of 8:17 EDT in Indian Hills Kentucky. This gives her an ascendant of 18 Aquarius, a “sea fog drifting” highlighting her particular tendency to being cast as a force of nature and thus control her character’s outcomes. She has a Grand Earth Trine, see the chart above, from Mars in third, Mercury in the seventh and Saturn in eleventh, showing her great popularity, the trine is essentially based in mutable houses, and shrewd business sense. Her Jupiter is in the fifth that doubles for her various roles and many romantic liasions that…

Mary Astor was in many film hits in the 1930’s and early 40’s before her alcoholism took its toll, most notably Dodsworth with Walter Huston and then the Maltese Falcon directed by Huston’s son, John Houston. In her youth, as shown by the picture above, the raven haired actress was quite a beauty with her long locks against her porcelain skin thanks to her Irish-Portguese mother while her immigrant father, Oskar, from Berlin contributed her angular features. It was a striking package. Mary Astor was born on May 3, 1906 in Quincy Illinois at 7:30 pm giving her a…

Mary Margaret McBride was born to a Missouri farming family in 1899. Her earliest education was “disorganized” because the family often relocated, but she entered a preparatory academy at six and at 16 entered the University of Missouri; she earned her journalism degree by the age of 19. Having reasonable success as a “girl journalist” with the Cleveland Press, she moved on to the larger New York Evening Mail (1867 – 1924) & did quite well contributing freelance pieces to periodicals. With the Depression, hundreds of writers found themselves unemployed, and McBride was among them. She was now in her…

Our featured photo is of her and Cesare Romano in “The Devil is a Woman” directed by Josef von Sternberg. It was her favorite film because it made her look “beautiful.” You can watch it here and see if you agree. Marlene Dietrich, a German femme fatale, is also a mutable hourglass. Like Joseph Haydn, she has a Virgo Ascendant, but her hourglass runs totally contrary to his. While he has a singleton in the third quadrant of spirituality; she has nothing. She was a professed atheist though born and raised Roman Catholic. Where Haydn has plenty of planets in…
