Today we celebrate...
Peter Mayhew at his 66th birthday (born 1944)
Claudia Karvan at her 38th birthday (born 1972)
Caroline de Souza Correa at her 31st birthday (born 1979)

Peter Mayhew was born in England, UK and played Chewbacca. He got the role because of his hight, he stands 221 cm  or 7'3". Before filming began on Star Wars, Mayhew visited a zoo where he studied the movement of bears, monkeys, gorillas and other animals with traits reminiscent of a Wookiee. And he created the walk and movements of the wookiee Chewbacca. In The Empire Strikes Back was ill a day during filming and director Irvin Kershner substituted another extremely tall actor in Mayhew's place. This proved to be a mistake because the substitute was unable to accurately portray Chewbacca. Kershner was forced to discard all of the footage and re-shoot once Mayhew regained his health.
