HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CATHERINE DENEUVE, 73. Reflecting on the enduring popularity of a Chanel No 5 advert she made more than 30 years ago, the French star of Belle De Jour, pictured, said: ‘It was sexy because of what I was saying, not what I was revealing. You saw nothing. Today, it’s all about showing everything and saying nothing.’ SIR DEREK JACOBI, 78. The London-born star of TV’s I, Claudius and Last Tango In Halifax felt his appearance and name would hold him back. ‘My complexion is ruddy, my face cow-like. I used to ask Father Christmas to give me cheekbones,’ said Jacobi, who nearly changed his name to Ashley Clinton.
