“Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” an
irreverent comedy based in the outlandish (fictionalized)
world of American stock car racing, premiered in movie
theaters around the United States on August 4, 2006.

Comedian Will Ferrell (who also co-wrote the screenplay
with director Adam McKay and served as an executive
producer) starred as Ricky Bobby, a leading driver on
the National Association for Stock Auto Car Racing
(NASCAR) circuit.

On July 6, 1994, the movie Forrest Gump opened in theaters. A
huge box-office success, the film starred Tom Hanks in the title
role of Forrest, a good-hearted man with a low I.Q. who winds
up at the center of key cultural and historical events of the
second half of the 20th century.

The film also won an Oscar for its then-cutting-edge computer-
generated imagery (CGI) special effects, which incorporated
Forrest Gump into existing news footage with famous world
figures including John F. Kennedy, John Lennon and Richard
Nixon.

Tom Hanks will be 69 years old on July 9th.

His first wife, Candace Kaniecki told TMZ he died Thursday
morning and that it was unexpected and the cause of death
is currently unknown.

The Dukes of Hazzard is an action comedy television
series that aired on CBS from 1979 to 1985, with a total
of seven seasons consisting of 147 episodes.
