Speaking of great parents, it sounds like Mark Wahlberg is quite a dad. When asked if
he is the kind of dad (to four kids who range in ages from 7 months to 7 years old) he replied “I’m trying to be the best dad I can.

It can be a fine line, so I ask God for the strength to not lose my patience with my children.” (Source: People magazine, August 16, 2010 issue)

Everywhere we went, it was so hot, we were just looking for a swimming pool. The fact that they never got sunburned and no one’s hair ever turned green was pretty much my maternal triumph of the summer.” (Source: Entertainment Weekly, August 6, 2010 edition)
Okay, brace yourself. If you’re a child of the 80s like we are, this news may make you feel really ancient. Remember the movie St. Elmo’s Fire? This summer it turned 25 years old! Here’s a little trivia about the movie. Mare Winningham, who was cast as the virgin named Wendy in the movie (the one who was in love with Rob Lowe) was actually pregnant while shooting the movie, and that’s why she wore all those baggy Laura Ashley dresses! The movie made $36 million, which is remarkable because, back then, movie tickets cost about $2. The director Joel Schumacher said he thinks the movie holds up after 25 years because “everyone has their gang and you think you’re going to be friends forever. You really do. And then life happens.” (Source: Entertainment Weekly, August 6, 2010 edition)
