Jonesy was the orange cat on the Nostromo in Alien (1979).
Ripley risked everything to get him off the ship.
Four different cats played him. The famous hiss was real: they hid a German Shepherd behind a screen and pulled it away so the cat would react.
He made it out with in in Aliens.
In a movie full of things that kill, he was the one thing that still felt alive.

Julia Roberts turns 59 today.
Pretty Woman made her a star in 1990. Erin Brockovich got her the Oscar in 2001. Notting Hill, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Ocean’s Eleven. That smile still does most of the work.
Which Julia Roberts movie do you put on first?

He was 29. Point Break and My Own Private Idaho were already behind him. Much Ado About Nothing had just come out. Speed was still a year away. This is the quiet version, before everything got louder.

She was 27, already the face everyone knew from Two Women and El Cid, and still looking like she had nothing to prove.
That was Italian glamour before the word got tired.
