Celeb Birthdays: April 17-19

Yes, yes, dear readers, it's been a Tom Cruise–level crayzay week, and I have been remiss in honoring the aging celebrities in our midst. I could not feel more tormented by my lapse in correspondence. So let's get to catching up....

Verily, the best birthday has been saved for last! One of the celebrities for whom my love cannot adequately be expressed in words... the multitalented, um, talent behind the camp of Rocky Horror Picture Show, the cheese of Clue and the sheer genius of "I Do the Rock," not to mention about a bajillion other things ... the great Tim Curry is 60 today. Sunshine! Sunshine! See Tim Curry's birth chart (Astrotheme)
