HAPPY BIRTHDAY

FIONA SHAW, 59. The Irish star and director has been described as ‘the greatest theatre actress of her generation’. She’s also starred in the Harry Potter films, playing Harry’s aunt, Petunia Dursley. She loves any new journey, she says, and relishes the experience of getting lost. ‘I’m not afraid of chaos and I love not knowing where I’m going.’ NEIL TENNANT, 63. One half of Pet Shop Boys, the singer- songwriter from North Shields had a strict Catholic upbringing at an all-boys grammar school, which inspired the songs It’s A Sin and This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave. Evidently, he was a bit of a rebel. His English teacher wrote on his report: ‘Neil attends when he chooses and writes what he wishes.’
