Richard Hell (American singer, songwriter, bass guitarist, writer)

* Richard Hell, known as an innovator of punk music and fashion, was one of the first to spike his hair and wear torn, cut and drawn-on shirts, often held together with safety pins. Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols, has credited Hell as a source of inspiration for the Sex Pistols' look and attitude, as well as the safety-pin and graphics accessorized clothing that McLaren sold in his London shop, Sex.

Hell was in several important, early punk bands, including Neon Boys, Television, and The Heartbreakers, after which he formed Richard Hell & The Voidoids. Their 1977 album Blank Generation influenced many other punk bands. Its title song was named "One of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock" by music writers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame listing and is ranked as one of the all-time Top 10 punk songs by a 2006 poll of original British punk figures, as reported in the Rough Guide to Punk.

Since the late 1980s, Hell has devoted himself primarily to writing, publishing two novels and several other books. He was the film critic for BlackBook magazine from 2004 to 2006.

Blaise Cendrars, 1887–1961 (Swiss-French novelist and poet)

* Blaise Cendrars was a writer of considerable influence in the European modernist movement. He was the first modernist poet, not only in terms of expressing the fundamental values of Modernism but also in terms of creating its first solid poetical synthesis. In 1912, in New York, he wrote his long poem, "Les Pâques à New York" (Easter in New York), his first important contribution to modern literature. He signed it for the first time with the name 'Blaise Cendrars.'

Back in Paris, Cendrars became an important part of the artistic community in Montparnasse; his writings were considered a literary epic of the modern adventurer. He was a friend of the American writer Henry Miller, and, in 1918, his friend Amedeo Modigliani painted his portrait. He died on 21 January 1961.

Tippi Hedren (American actress, fashion model, animal rights activist)

* Tippi Hedren was one of Alfred Hitchcock's ice-cool blondes, making her film debut in his suspense thriller The Birds followed by the title role in his psychological thriller Marnie. Hedren claims that Hitchcock was a sexual predator and control freak, who subjected her (and the birds?) to cruelty on the set. He also tried to destroy her career. Hitchcock's Mars is conjunct Hedren's Moon and his Scorpio Jupiter is conjunct her MC.

Hedren rejected Hitchcock's advances and went on to enjoy a successful career, appearing in over eighty films and TV shows. She has the feisty comination of Mars and Saturn straddling her Ascendant; with her Saturn square Hitchcock's Mars and her Mars quincunx his Pluto. This synastry made for quite a standoff.

Hedren also founded the non-profit Roar Foundation and Shambala Preserve, a sanctuary that houses some 70 animals. She is the mother of actress Melanie Griffith and grandmother of actress and model Dakota Johnson.

Goldie Hill, 1933–2005 (American country music singer)

* Goldie Hill was one of the first women in country music, and became one of the first women to reach the top of the country music charts with her No. 1 1953 hit, "I Let the Stars Get In My Eyes". Along with Kitty Wells, she helped set the standard for later women in country music. Hill might have had a longer career in country music had she been inclined to pursue it. She had a strong and twangy voice that can be heard in other country singers of the 1960s such as Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. With the success of Kitty Wells and her 1952 hit "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", Hill was able to pursue her own career after the profit potential of female singers was realized by record companies.

Clarence Swensen , 1917-2009 (American actor)

* Clarence Swensen was one of the last surviving Munchkins from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Swensen was not allowed to attend a public school until he was nine, because of his size.

Many of his "Oz" co-stars were cast members of this Western musical film.

After suffering a stroke in 2005, he was unable to walk and ended up in a wheelchair as a result. He suffered from poor health then after but still attended many events with the other surviving Munchkins, including the presentation of the Munchkins' star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007. Swensen died on February 25, 2009.

The Our Gang shorts were later syndicated to television as The Little Rascals.

* Puyi — the twelfth and final ruler of the Qing Dynasty and the last Emperor of China — had the North Node conjunct the MC both in royal Leo, opposed and ruled by the Sun on the South Node and IC — all in anti-royal Aquarius. The Sun was trined from the 8th house by Pluto, the ruler of his Scorpio Ascendant: PuYi was a prisoner of power, ruling in name only and ultimately powerless. Chosen by Empress Dowager Cixi (see her chart) on her deathbed, PuYi ruled as a child emperor, 1908-1912, as a nominal emperor in 1917, and as the emperor of the Japanese-controlled puppet state of Manchukuo, 1934-1945. After the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, Puyi was imprisoned as a war criminal for 10 years and wrote his memoirs.

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (Austrian exiled artist)

* During the Nazi annexation of Vienna in 1938, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky and her mother fled her homeland of Austria to seek refuge in London where she would be based for nearly six decades, working among other exiled artists. As an artist-foreigner, she embodied the archetype of her Venus in Sagittarius. With her Sun rising at 29° Libra, it was only at the end of her life that Motesiczky gained recognition as one of Austria’s most important 20th-century painters. Her biography is titled "the undiscovered expressionist": Venus, as ruler of her Sun and Ascendant, is unaspected except for a restrictive square from a retrograde Saturn.

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky was born in Vienna to an aristocratic family. As her family included Jewish descent, she had to flee the Nazi annexation of Vienna in 1938. Motesiczky, accompanied by her mother Henriette, fled to London. Following the end of the war, Motesiczky exhibited her paintings in many European institutions and she continued to work from her house in London, where she lived only with her mother and a single maid. Motesiczky's major breakthrough in the UK occurred in 1985, with a major retrospective at the Goethe Institute in London, which generated much acclaim and saw her reputation as a major Austrian artist cemented. She died in London on June 10, 1996.

Piero Manzoni, 1933–1963 (Italian artist)

* Piero Manzoni ― who thumbed his nose at the art-world establishment ― had Saturn rising in Aquarius opposite Venus in Leo. His most famous artwork, "produced" in 1961, consists of ninety 30g tin cans, filled with his faeces, and labelled Artist's Shit in Italian, English, French, and German. Manzoni had Neptune unaspected in anal Virgo on his Vertex.

WIKIPEDIA BIOGRAPHY

Piero Manzoni (July 13, 1933 – February 6, 1963) was an Italian artist best known for his ironic approach to avant-garde art. Often compared to the work of Yves Klein, his own work anticipated, and directly influenced, the work of a generation of younger Italian artists brought together by the critic Germano Celant in the first Arte Povera exhibition held in Genoa, 1967. Manzoni is most famous for a series of artworks that call into question the nature of the art object, directly prefiguring Conceptual Art. His work eschews normal artist's materials, instead using everything from rabbit fur to human excrement in order to "tap mythological sources and to realize authentic and universal values".

His work is widely seen as a critique of the mass production and consumerism that was changing Italian society (the Italian economic miracle) after World War II. Italian artists such as Manzoni had to negotiate the new economic and material order of post-war Europe through inventive artistic practices which crossed geographic, artistic, and cultural borders.
