Celebrities born on agosto 16

Abraham Albert Cohen (August 16, 1895 – October 17, 1981) was a Greek-born Romaniote Jewish Swiss novelist who wrote in French. He worked as a civil servant for various international organizations, such as the International Labour Organization. He became a Swiss citizen in 1919. Abraham Albert Cohen (Greek: Αβραάμ Αλβέρτος Κοέν) was born in Corfu, Greece, in 1895, to Greek Jewish parents. Albert's parents, who owned a soap factory, moved to Marseille, France, when he was a child. Albert Cohen discusses this period in his novel Le Livre de ma mère (The Book of My Mother). He studied at a private Catholic school. In 1904, he started high school at Lycée Thiers, where he met and started a lifelong friendship with Marcel Pagnol, and graduated in 1913. In 1914, he left Marseille for Geneva, Switzerland, and enrolled in law school. He graduated from law school in 1917 and enrolled in literature school in 1917, where he remained until 1919. In 1919, he became a Swiss citizen. That same year he married Elisabeth Brocher, who in 1921 gave birth to their daughter, Myriam. In 1924, his wife died of cancer. In 1925, Albert Cohen became director of Revue Juive (The Jewish Review), a periodical whose writers included Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. From 1926 to 1931, he served as a civil servant in Geneva. In 1933, he married his second wife, Marianne Goss. During the German occupation, in 1940, Cohen fled to Bordeaux, then to London. The Jewish Agency for Palestine then made him responsible for establishing contacts with exiled governments. On January 10, 1943, Cohen's mother died in Marseille. That same year, he met his future third wife, Bella Berkowich. In 1944, he became an attorney for the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees. In 1947, Cohen returned to Geneva. In 1957, he turned down the post of Israeli Ambassador in order to pursue his literary career. He died in Geneva at the age of 86 and is buried in the Jewish Cemetery of Veyrier, near Geneva. Through four different books, Cohen's fiction can be considered as one long autobiographical fiction. It is the story of the radiant Solal – Cohen's double – a handsome and successful civil servant of the League of Nations whose charismatic identity is a constant struggle between his Jewish roots and his social status. His masterpiece, Belle du Seigneur, originally included the novel that was later published as Les Valeureux. Belle du Seigneur is called "the book of love", and tells Solal's passionate, cruel yet realistic love affair with Ariane Deume, a married non-Jewish woman. In 1968, the novel received the French Academy award. Since then, the novel has been one of the biggest sellers of the prestigious Gallimard White Collection. In 2022, Cohen's works were published in the prestigious Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. Source: Article "Albert Cohen (novelist)" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

He attended the Rollins School, Holy Trinity School, and Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Merrimack College in North Andover where he majored in English, and moved to Los Angeles in 2005 to attend UCLA's Professional Screenwriting Program. In 2007, Mark became a CBS Page in the CBS Page Program at CBS Television City in Hollywood, and worked on many shows that filmed there on the lot such as Dancing With The Stars, American Idol, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, and The Price Is Right. At The Price Is Right, he always entertained the audience members outside in line, got them to sing to pass the time, and pepped them up both outside and inside the studio. Working at The Price Is Right was Mark's most memorable time out of everything he has worked in Los Angeles in Television and Film. Working there, he was asked to be at the show for many behind the scenes events and special occasions during Bob Barker's final season, including practice run throughs with the potential hosts who auditioned to replace Bob Barker such as Mario Lopez and George Hamilton. Mark had a lot of fun as a mock contestant several different times, working alongside these celebrities as they learned the games. Mark even got to work Bob Barker's final taped show, and while outside getting the audience ready and pepped up, the former producer at the time, Roger Dobkowitz, who was outside visiting the audience in line, commended Mark for always getting the audience energetic and to always cheer for Bob each time he worked the show. Since 2007, Mark's focused on acting, and was not only featured on shows such as Glee, Grey's Anatomy, and Desperate Housewives, but also had starring and supporting parts in several independent films and decided to start making films of his own. Since 2010, Mark has taken an extensive amount of classes for acting, including on camera classes, cold reading classes, and commercial classes. In 2014, Mark got back into working with audiences when he became an audience page again, and has worked in many studios all over Los Angeles including Warner Bros., Sony, Manhattan Beach Studios, and Los Angeles Center Studios, greeting and processing audiences for many different sitcoms and television shows including Mike & Molly, Mom, Two Broke Girls, American's Funniest Home Videos, Girl Meets World, and Fuller House. In 2015 at Fuller House, Mark would create Full House trivia for the audience before the taping, getting them familiar with the original series and ready for the taping of the revival series. Ever since Mark did his Full House trivia at Fuller House with the shows audience waiting in line in 2015, he also did classic TV trivia and other trivia for other shows he's worked on with the audiences in line who attended them. Shows Mark has done TV trivia out in line with their audiences as they waited to enter the studio have included not only Fuller House, but also Undateable, The Ranch, 2 Broke Girls, and Girl Meets World, where he got audiences familiar with the series by doing trivia from both that series and its preceding series, Boy Meets World. In 2018, when The Conners began filming their series at Warner Bros, Mark also began doing trivia for that audience as well based on the Conner family from its preceding series Roseanne.

Magnus Lennarth Betnér, född 16 augusti 1974 i Stockholm, är en svensk ståuppkomiker. Magnus Betnér har medverkat i bland annat TV-programmen Parlamentet, Stockholm live, Extra! Extra!, Veckans nyheter, Sverige dansar och ler, Tack gode gud, Tal till nationen, Roast på Berns och I ditt ansikte. 2005 belönades han med utmärkelsen "Årets manliga komiker" i samband med Svenska Stand up-galan, ett pris han även fick 2010 som den förste att få priset två gånger. Den humor som är karakteristisk för Betnér är inte sällan politisk, ofta högerinriktad, liberal och provokativ, till exempel föreslår han ironiskt i ett nummer att ge sin dotter en "fittpiercing" i tvåårspresent. Några återkommande ämnen och personer som ofta blir föremål för satir i Betnérs shower är Runar Sögaard, Aftonbladet, Ebba von Sydow och miljörörelsen i alla dess former men inte sällan heller nynazister och journalister i sina allmänhet. Han hävdar ofta i sina shower att yttrandefriheten är det viktigaste som finns och att den måste gälla lika för alla, sen får folk som inte håller med någon "ta fighten".
