Happy Birthday to "A7X" guitarist Brian Haner, Jr. (1981), figure skater Michelle Kwan (1980), Canadian actress/singer Cree Summer (1969), blues singer Jackie Neal (1967; d. 2005), "The Shining" actress Shelley Duvall (1949), Beatles drummer Ringo Starr (1940), composer Doc Severinsen (1927), "Westworld" actor Yul Brynner (1915; d. 1985), baseball legend Satchel Paige (1906; d. 1982), and Russian painter Marc Chagall (1887; d. 1985).
The mission for Michelle Kwan in her new job as goodwill ambassador, says a longtime Bush advisor, is to reach the world's young people, many of whom "are being exposed to hate and propaganda directed against our country."
An injury earlier this year forced Michelle Kwan out of Olympic competition, but according to a source, the champion skater has found another way to represent the U.S. - in an appointment expected to be announced by Condoleezza Rice.
