Born today, you are a force to be reckoned with, both in your private life and in your professional endeavors -- but especially when you are in any situation that requires that you "prove" yourself in some way, for then you bring all your talents to bear, together with your native tenacity and fierceness, to ensure that nothing stands in your way as you make a place for yourself, a name for yourself or a future for yourself.
You have tremendous staying power, which will serve you well where love is concerned. This doesn't mean that you will always enjoy long-term relationships, but it does mean that you will always, no matter what, be closely connected to those with whom you have shared love of any kind. Breakups are not complete breakups, as far as you are concerned.
Also born on this date are: Chuck Berry, musician; Freida Pinto, actress; George C. Scott, actor; Melina Mercouri, actress; Joe Morton, actor; Wendy Wasserstein, playwright; Lotte Lenya, singer and actress; Joy Bryant, actress.
