You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby

Today marks the birth of ATG’s most fantastic, most beautiful, most creative, most witty, and without a doubt, most shoe-fabulous contributor. And, although the spectacular FP puts all of her fellow birth celebrators to shame with her magnificence, it’s become a tradition here at ATG (and by tradition, I mean this is the second time we’ve done it) to highlight some other, albeit slightly less fabulous, birthday-sharing folks. So, without further ado, I give you noteworthy November 6 births:

Emma Stone

Born 11/6/88 in Scottsdale, Arizona

Endearing Emma

Remember Emma Stone when she was that adorably awkward girl in House Bunny? She was sweet and funny and the kind of girl you wanted to be friends with. Unfortunately she recently pulled a Lindsay Lohan; meaning, she went from a normal-sized redhead to a Hollywood-sized (i.e. borderline eating-disorder skinny) blonde. (She’s allegedly a blonde in real life, but, really, aren’t there enough of those in Hollywood already?) She did manage, however, to snag a plumb role in The Help and the eye of Jim Carrey and, really, at the end of the day, what else can a girl ask for?

Ethan Hawke

Born 11/6/70 in Austin, Texas

Edgy Ethan

Remember Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites when he looked like he needed a good cleaning? Unlike Emma, Ethan hasn’t actually changed much. He still looks dirty and smelly – and apparently like Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath. Along with looking unclean, he also oftentimes looks irritated, which after further consideration, makes a lot of sense. I mean, who wouldn’t hate the world when stuck in Uma Thurman’s Amazonian shadow? He remedied this situation, however, by cheating on Thurman with their kids’ nanny (original and classy, I know), who he now finds himself married to. Not-so-surprisingly, though, he still looks royally pissed off most of the time. Maybe he’d have a more positive outlook on life if he’d just take a damn shower.

Maria Shriver

Born 11/6/55 in Chicago, Illinois

Memorable Maria

She’s a Kennedy. She was married to the Governator (until she found out that he was really the Cheaternator and FatherIllegitimateChildrenernator). And she has a jawline that could cut glass. ‘Nuff said.

Sally Field

Born 11/6/46 in Pasadena, California

Successful Sally

Unarguably the most decorated performer on our list (at least until the fabulous FP gets her accolades on), Ms. Fields has made a career as the adorable girl-next-door. She was a contestant on The Dating Game twice; she survived a plane crash, when her private plane lost power on take-off (which, sidebar, is why I keep a pack of AA batteries on my private plane); and she’s never lost an Oscar she’s been nominated for, which just goes to prove that the Academy likes her. They really, really like her. (Someone had to say it.)

And today we celebrate the best November 6er of all, FP. She’s got the talent of Sally, the likeability of Emma, the business sense of Maria, and, seeing as how she’s well-groomed and nice-smelling, very little of Ethan.

Here’s to you, FP!

And next year, we celebrate in a British castle. Or palace. Maybe this one?
