HAPPY BIRTHDAY

-

J.K. ROWLING, 53. The Gloucester­shire-born Harry Potter novelist was the first billion- dollar author. Her books have been translated into more than 70 languages, including Latin and Ancient Greek. Rowling (right) chose King’s Cross for the portal that took Harry to Hogwarts because her parents met on a train to Scotland that departed from the station. ANDREW MARR, 59. The TV host and amateur painter from Glasgow admitted in 2011 that he had secured a High Court injunction to stop the media reporting on an affair. He suffered a stroke in 2013 after a session on a rowing machine, but said it had ‘probably made’ his marriage ‘better and warmer’. Marr says his most treasured possession is ‘what’s left of my hairline’.
