Cuddly-macho Burt Reynolds was BOTD in 1936 & died in 2018 at 82. So horny in John Boorman's "Deliverance" (1972), one of my fave films of the 70's. He claimed to have Cherokee ancestry, although this is often seen as a self-reported identity rather than genealogically proven

Brit filmmaker Michael Apted was BOTD in 1941 & died in 2021 at 79. In 1972, he made the strange WWII film "The Triple Echo" (aka "Soldier in Skirts") in which a soldier who has deserted the army dresses as a woman to escape detection. Not quite as good as it sounds, but not bad!

‘Wuthering Heights’ Earns MIXED Reviews: “A Bastardization of Brontë” — World of Reel
The review embargo has lifted on Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights,” and—absolute shocker—those first-wave social media reactions were a mirage. The film isn’t “God-tier cinema” after all.
