Inge Müller, 1925–1966 (East German author)

* As a writer, Inge Müller, remained above all a poet. Although she created nearly 300 lyrical works, only a few have been published, mostly in the anthology In diesem besseren Land.

Müller also published children's books, Wölfchen Ungestüm (1955) and Zehn Jungen und ein Fischerdorf (1958); the radio drama Die Weiberbrigade; and the collaboration with Wiktor Rosows Auf dem Wege. With her third husband, Heiner Müller, she created the dramas Der Lohndrücker (1956), Die Umsiedlerin (1956), Die Korrektur (1957), Klettwitzer Bericht (1958) and Unterwegs (1963).

Inge Müller stood in the shadow of Heiner, who considered her more a coworker than an equal partner. She began an affair with his 16 year–old brother Wolfgang Müller in 1956 which failed and relations with her husband worsened noticeably. The awarding of the Heinrich Mann Prize to the both of them in 1959 did nothing to improve the situation. Plagued by depressions and psychosomatic troubles she attempted suicide several times. She was finally successful after an attempt on 1 June 1966. Only 41 years old, the writer died in her apartment on Kissingenplatz 12 of medication overdose and poisonous gas.

"Inge Müller has described later, the circumstances of her birth, in an unpublished story which was part of a novel, an ambitious project, uncompleted because the will to die was stronger than the will to finish a novel...

Larry L. King, 1929–2012 (American playwright, journalist, and novelist)

* Larry L. King is best remembered for his 1978 Tony Award-nominated play The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which became a long-running production on Broadway and was later turned into a feature film starring Burt Reynolds, Charles Durning and Dolly Parton.

In 1974, he wrote an article about the Chicken Ranch brothel in La Grange, Texas; after the article was published in Playboy, King and fellow Texan Peter Masterson developed it into the book of the Broadway musical.

King received an Emmy Award in 1982 for the CBS documentary The Best Little Statehouse in Texas.

King died on 20 December 2012, at a retirement home in Washington, D. C., survived by his third wife, five children, two grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Patrick Dennis, 1921–1976 (American author)

* Patrick Dennis's novel Auntie Mame: An Irreverent Escapade (1955) was one of the bestselling American books of the 20th century. In chronological vignettes, the narrator — also named Patrick — recalls his adventures growing up under the wing of his madcap aunt, Mame Dennis. Dennis wrote a sequel, Around the World with Auntie Mame, in 1958. Dennis based the character of Mame Dennis on his father's sister, Marion Tanner. He also wrote several novels under the pseudonym Virginia Rowans. All of Dennis's novels employ to some degree the traditional comic devices of masks, subterfuge and deception.

Auntie Mame was played by Rosalind Russell (in a 1956 Broadway production and in the highly successful 1958 screen adaptation), by Angela Lansbury (in Jerry Herman's 1966 musical Mame), and by Lucille Ball (in the 1974 film version).

The flamboyant and exuberant Mame's frequently repeated motto is "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" She is represented by Neptune at 11° Leo in Patrick Dennis's chart, as channelled through synastry by these starring ladies: Rosalind Russell had her MC at 14° Leo, Angela Lansbury had 21° Leo rising, and Lucille Ball had her Sun at 13° Leo.

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.

Norman Chaney, 1914–1936 (American child actor)

* Norman Chaney appeared in nineteen Our Gang comedy films as "Chubby" from 1929 to 1931. The popular, moon-faced Chaney had the Cancerian decan of Pisces on his Ascendant.

In 1935, he underwent treatment for the glandular ailment that had caused his weight to reach 300 lb (140 kg), and his weight subsequently dropped to less than 140 lb (64 kg). Chaney became seriously ill afterward and died from myocarditis at 4 AM on 29 May 1936 at age 21, according to his death certificate.

Anna Massey, 1937–2011 (English actress)

* In her obituary in The Guardian, Anna Massey is headlined as an "Award-winning actor with a fastidious intelligence and a hint of inner steel." The obit adds that "her Bafta-winning performance as the lonely writer of romantic fiction on holiday in Switzerland in Hotel du Lac (1986), . . . was the sort of role in which Massey was supreme: placid on the surface, with passion deep within her." These descriptions befit her Scorpio Ascendant. Indeed, she even played "The Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher in Pinochet in Suburbia (2006). Massey and Thatcher both have Scorpio rising.

In Peeping Tom (1960), Massey appeared as "the naive downstairs neighbour of a psychotic landlord" conveying "a cold and repressed character on screen." Her other Scorpionic roles include a vampire who serves her murderer his blood disguised as tomato juice in Vault of Horror (1973) and a creepy Mrs Danvers in Rebecca (1979).

Massey had the Sun in Leo high in the sky and she came from a noted acting family: she was the daughter of British actress Adrianne Allen and Canadian-born Hollywood actor Raymond Massey. Her godfather was film director John Ford.

NATAL DATA and ASTROLOGY CHART

BIRTH DATA: Anna Raymond Massey, 11 August 1937, 15:00 (3pm) BST (-1), Coolham, near Billingshurst, England (51n01, 0w28). ASC: 25 Scorpio. RR: A (from memory). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield cites a telegram from her father Raymond Massey to Samuel Goldwyn quoted in "Proud Father Extols Arrival," Los Angeles Times, 16 August 1937, p. 10: "Anna Massey born Coolham, Eng., 6 o'clock this morning. At 6:20 I heard her voice on trans-Atlantic telephone..." Note: The report mentions that Raymond Massey was in hospital in Hollywood with phlebitis at the time; BST (-1) is 9 hours ahead of PST (+8) so Anna was born at 3 p.m. BST in England equal to 6 a.m. PST in California.

Conchita Wurst (Austrian singer, fashion designer, gender illusionist)

* In May 2014 Conchita Wurst (AKA Tom Neuwirth) won the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix." An apt song title for her Scorpio stellium, including Sun conjunct Pluto. The gorgeous Conchita has Taurus rising ruled by Venus conjunct the Moon in Libra, surely showing excellent prospects for her fashion design career. With her trademark beard, she has an unusual appearance that challenges traditional concepts of gender and sexuality: Uranus in the 8th House quincunxes her Ascendant and in turn is ruled by Jupiter in her 1st House.

BIRTH DATA: Thomas Neuwirth, 6 November 1988, 17:00 (5 PM) MET (-1), Gmunden, Austria (47n55, 13e48). ASC: 24 Taurus. RR: A (from mother's memory). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes Tom/Conchita's mother Helga Neuwirth in the Austrian documentary, "Conchita Wurst: To Eurovision" (ORF, 2014; viewed on SBS2 TV, Australia, 5 June 2014, English subtitles), in which she says that she was in labour with Tom/Conchita for 12 hours "from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m."

Mick Fanning (Australian professional surfer)

* Mick Fanning has recently become a triple world surfing champion, having won the 2007, 2009 and 2013 ASP World Tours.

His Taurus Ascendant is ruled by Venus (conjunct Mercury) in watery Cancer, indicating a love of the ocean. Venus is in mutual reception with the Moon in Libra, surely keeping him balanced on his surfboard. Fanning is nicknamed "White Lightning" because his style is lightning fast: electrical Uranus in powerful Scorpio squares and rules his MC.

Check out the awesome pipeline and rip-curl shots on his website (www.mickfanning.com.au).

Tommy Blake, 1931-1985 (American rockabilly singer, songwriter)

* Tommy Blake had Pluto in the 8th at the apex of a Cardinal T-Square involving an opposition between Uranus and the Moon/Mars.

Eventually he recorded several songs including "Sweetie Pie," "Cool Alligator" and "I'll Be Free." He also co-wrote "Cool Gator Shoes" with Carl Belew in 1959 plus writing or co-inking "The Story Of A Broken Heart", picked up by Johnny Cash on Sun in 1958, "Lonely Street" and "Am I That Easy To Forget".

Charlie Applewhite, 1932-2001 (American singer)

* Charlie Applewhite was a baritone known as "the little man with the big voice." He had some minor hits for Decca in the mid-1950s, including "Put Your Heart Next to Mine" and "No One But You." He had a 1957 album release, Love Affair (and a lovely conjunction of the Moon and Venus in the 1st House). Applewhite appeared regularly on TV's Milton Berle and Ed Sullivan shows.

The exact square from Mercury to its ruler Jupiter explains the "little man with the big voice" tag.
