WHO'S WHO ?


Celebrities 2006


Author
Denmark

Hans Christian Andersen

He was born on April 2, 1805 in Odense, Denmark – August 4, 1875. He was a Danish author and poet most famous for his fairy tales. His first novel, 'The Improvisatore', was published in the beginning of 1835, and became an instant success. The fame of his Fairy Tales had grown steadily; a second series began in 1838 and a third in 1845. Andersen was now celebrated throughout Europe, although his native Denmark still showed some resistance to his pretensions. In June 1847, he paid his first visit to England and enjoyed a triumphal social success during the summer. Countess of Blessington invited him to her parties where intellectual and famous people could meet, and it was at one party that he met Charles Dickens for the first time.

Musician Group
United-Kingdom

Supertramp

A British Art Rock and pop band that had a series of top-selling albums in the 1970s.
Their early music included ambitious concept albums, but they are best known for their later, somewhat Beatlesque pop songs including "Dreamer", "Goodbye Stranger", "Give a Little Bit", and "The Logical Song".
Despite chart success the band never attained superstardom in the UK (although they did in Canada, the US, and the rest of Europe); it was remarked at the height of their popularity that it was the best-selling group in the world whose members could walk down any street and not be recognised.

Writer
France

Nicolas Boileau

He was born on November 1, 1636 - March 13, 1711. He was a French poet and critic.
In the first place the author skilfully parodies and attacks writers who at the time were placed in the very first rank, such as Jean Chapelain, the abbé Charles Cotin, Philippe Quinault and Georges de Scudéry; he openly raised the standard of revolt against the older poets. To Molière and Racine he proved a constant friend, and supported their interests on many occasions.

Actor
United-Kingdom

Hugh Grant

He was born on September 9, 1960 in London (England).
One of his first major film roles was in 'The Remains of the Day' (1993), and he became simultaneously known as the partner of actress Elizabeth Hurley whom he had been dating since at least 1987. However, it was 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' (1994) which turned him into a major star. He kept a low profile until 1999, when he starred in 'Notting Hill' opposite Julia Roberts and followed up with major successes in 'Bridget Jones's Diary' (2001), 'About a Boy' (2002) and 'Two Weeks Notice' (2002) opposite Sandra Bullock.
