Celebrity birthday highlights for August 20, 2025:

• Boxing promoter Don King (1931) made headlines as big as his hair by landing Ali versus Foreman in "The Rumble in the Jungle" and Ali versus Frazier III, the "Thrilla in Manila." Those mega-cards, followed by the blockbuster Tyson and Holyfield bouts he promoted, defined the sport’s commercial boom.

• Actor Ray Wise (1947) seared himself into TV history as Leland Palmer in "Twin Peaks" and its prequel "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me." That mix of grief and menace, alongside his icy turn as Leon Nash in "RoboCop," marks the peak of a career built on unforgettable villains.

• Weatherman Al Roker (1954) turned forecasts into comfort TV and parlayed that warmth into authorship. Recent highlights include a visit to "The Great American Recipe" and a family cookbook collaboration that hit shelves in October 2024.

• Actor Ke Huy Quan (1971) leapt from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "The Goonies" to an Oscar-winning turn in "Everything Everywhere All at Once." He has since mixed franchise fun in "Loki" with leading-man chops in 2025’s "Love Hurts" and animation work on "Kung Fu Panda 4."

• Actress Amy Adams (1974) pairs six Oscar nominations with range that spans "Doubt," "The Master," and "American Hustle." Recently, she led the 2024 film "Nightbitch," which rolled out theatrically before streaming on Hulu.

• Actor Andrew Garfield (1983) became a generation’s Spider-Man while delivering acclaimed turns in "The Social Network" and "Hacksaw Ridge." Recent highlights span his musical showcase "Tick, Tick... Boom!" and his 2024 pairing with Florence Pugh in "We Live in Time."

• Singer-actor Demi Lovato (1992) launched from Disney’s "Camp Rock" to arena-filling hits. In 2023, she reimagined her catalog as the rock-forward album "Revamped," then kicked off a new dance-pop era with the 2025 single "Fast."
