Happy Birthday to:

The Reader star Kate Winslet (1975)

Producers of the new Halloween horror remake insist movie veteran Malcolm McDowell is the perfect actor to reprise Donald Pleasence's Loomis character - because he adds fun to the sinister role. Pleasance created the creepy character in the 1978 original and went on to play the part up until his death during the making of Halloween 6.
