Today is my wife's birthday! We're gonna celebrate the way only middle aged people can, by not doing much and maybe dinner! Oh, the good life. In Hollywood it is also the birthday of Neil Patrick Harris , Aaron Sorkin, Johnny Depp, Michael J. Fox, and the lovely Natalie Portman. Not too shabby June 9th!
To honor one Reva Alexander-Hawk, star of WEtv's Amazing Wedding Cakes, I dug around some old photo boxes to see what I could see. My wife's family is all in the industry and I was hoping for some awesome set pictures featuring a young Reva. I found some cool stuff, but this one was the clear winner. Happy Birthday dear, enjoy this look back at your time on set with the Planet of the Apes (Reva is the one in the apes arms).
I'm not sure which Apes project this is, but I know her mom was involved in the TV series and possibly Battle for the Planet of the Apes. You might also recognize Karyn in the lower right, Reva's sister and occasional Merci Beaucoup contributor as well as their brother Kenny, an accomplished stuntman who just won a Taurus Stunt Award by the way. What a family, no? Enjoy everyone, this is both a piece of cake and cinema history!!
Whoa, that is sweet! Definitely makes me think of Battle for the Planet of the Apes, but it's cool no matter what! Happy birthday to the Mrs. :-)

That is frickin' amazin'. I had no idea she was involved at all. It wasn't part of the documentary. :D (yes, we love apes)
