Happy Birthday to
Jon Voight
71 today
One of the most incredible mysteries in modern cinema is why Jon Voight's career hasn't gone better. Oscar nominated 4 times, he's never managed to take that raw talent and matinee idol looks to become a real household name. Now he's propping up the cast list in dreck like Transformers and National Secrets. What a waste.

What a waste indeed.
Jon Voight was a revelation in "Midnight Cowboy." You may have inspired me once again to write my retrospective review.
"Coming Home" was also a great role, and Oscar winner, for him.
Lately, he seems to have had some difficulties, having been estranged from his daughter Angelina Jolie. A year or so ago, I heard him on a TV interview, and he seems to have become a right-wing reactionary. He is no longer the same actor who would have made "Coming Home."
Maybe that's why his career has suffered?
