Making Bremner, Bird And Fortune: fulfilled at work, happy at home with two young children.
When my daughter, Virginia, was born, in 1946.

August 16, 1985. My dad took me and my brothers Andre and Tony to see the Fresh Fest at the Nassau Coliseum, on Long Island. We saw Whodini, the Fat Boys, and Grandmaster Flash. Greatest day of my life. The births of my children were big days, too, but billions of people have children—only 15,000 people saw that show.
A successful marriage, my third.
Unemployment – I’m an actor.
Not following through on things.

I remember really wanting to go into space. I liked the idea of flying.
