Where is Bob Hoskins from?

Search: bob hoskins

Why: A letter from Dan:

Dear Carly Googles,
Is Bob Hoskins British? Just watched The Long Goodbye. It's British and he's British in it. Why not? Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

(at 2:04)

Answer: He was born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, and is "known for playing Cockney rough diamonds, psychopaths and gangsters." Lol. Some of his charming quotations:

• My own mum wouldn't call me pretty.
• You don't end up with a face like this if you're hard, do ya? This comes from having too much mouth and nothing to back it up with.
• [On director Francis Ford Coppola] Coppola couldn't piss in a pot.

Source: Wikipedia, IMDb

The More You Know: Hoskins is 5'6" (like me!!). In 1967, he lived for a while at Kibbutz Zikim in Israel. Also, I wonder what Hook would have been like if he had played Captain Hook and Dustin Hoffman had been Smee.

How tall is Tony Robbins?

Search: tony robbins

Why: People around me are talking about him for some reason. Andrea doesn't know who he is. (She also doesn't know who George Clinton is, and maybe anyone else who was last in the news more than 5 years ago.)

Answer: 6'7"! Omg!! But it is kind of sad:

In 1994, a routine medical check revealed a tumor in Robbins' pituitary gland. Robbins explains in Personal Power that the tumor was actually an adenoma that had infarcted several years earlier. Due to the pressure of the adenoma on his pituitary gland, he had circulating levels of growth hormone several times higher than what would be normal for an adult his age. This had resulted in a subclinical manifestation of the disease known as acromegaly, which doctors told Robbins was responsible for his remarkable growth spurts as a teenager, as well as his large hands and feet (he is 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) tall). After consulting with multiple physicians, Robbins decided not to have the adenoma removed, as it was not causing any clinical manifestations.

(Jack Black is 5'6, which is the perfect height for girls.)

Source: IMDb, Wikipedia

The More You Know: Robbins started his career promoting seminars for motivational speaker Jim Rohn, and then started teaching neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) after learning it from NLP co-founder John Grinder. Grinder encouraged Robbins to look into the firewalking experience. In 1983, Robbins added firewalking to his seminars, which enabled him to gain media coverage and launch his celebrity status. Fire walk with me:

Who was Frank Sinatra married to?

Search: frank sinatra

Why: In Vanity Fair's "Famous When You're Born":

Long before Mia Farrow starred in Rosemary’s Baby (as well as a few off-screen dramas of her own, with husbands Frank Sinatra and Woody Allen), she was known as the daughter of Maureen O’Sullivan, who played Jane in 1932’s Tarzan the Ape Man. Here they are together in the 1960s.

I had no idea. Other people that love/d Frank Sinatra include Zack and my grandfather.

Answer: Teehee, there's a whole Wikipedia page about his L-life. It's funny because he was so short:

1. Nancy Barbato (Feb. 1939-Oct. 1951) - Mother of Nancy, Frank Jr., and Tina, and not-mother of a third child she aborted amid [true] rumors of his affairs
2. Ava Gardner (Nov. 1951-1957) - Caused breakup with 1st wife Nancy, and then had an abortion of her own in the wake of more [true] rumors of affairs. They separated in 1953, but stayed married for a while
   
3. Mia Farrow (July 1966-1968) - She was 21, he was 50. (Later, she raised a daughter that did the same gross thing.) She agreed to appear in his 1968 film, The Detective, but when she reneged as her filming schedule for Rosemary's Baby overran, Sinatra served her divorce papers in front of the cast and crew. Dick!
   
4. Barbara Blakely Marx (1976-1998) - Zeppo Marx's ex-wife, BTW, and a total B. She didn't even call his kids when he was dying, so they missed it.
   

Girlyfriends and Skanks:

• Lana Turner (1946)
• Marilyn Maxwell (1946)
• Judy Garland (1949 and 1955)
• Lauren Bacall (1957, just after Bogey died)
• Juliet Prowse (1962)
• Angie Dickinson (1954-1964)
• Marilyn Monroe (1961-1962, when she died)
