Happy Birthday to

Talia Shire

65 today

When Talia was first cast as the abused sister in Francis Ford Coppola's seminal masterpiece The Godfather it was probably generally considered just another case of nepotism for the notorious family man, however using that as a platform she went on to Oscar nods for the sequel and for Rocky proving her critics wrong. Still acting most of her pictures these days seem awfully similar and awfully direct to DVD fare.
