This husky-voiced Welsh belter came to prominence when her 1978 ballad “It's a Heartache” reached No. 3 on Billboard's U.S. Hot 100.

June 9: Michael J. Fox, 60
Some 35 years since the actor first played the time-traveling Marty McFly in Back to the Future, Fox came out with a poignant memoir last year, No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality. He's frank about health challenges he's faced since his Parkinson's disease diagnosis at age 29 — though he tempers that sober reality with the appealing humor and gratitude that have brought him so many admirers through the years. He's been married to actress Tracy Pollan, who played his girlfriend on Family Ties, since 1988.

June 28: Elon Musk, 50
When it was announced that Elon Musk, the mega-rich CEO of Tesla Inc. and the founder of SpaceX, would host NBC's Saturday Night Live on May 8, some cast members took to social media to voice their displeasure — Musk has expressed some dicey opinions about COVID-19, including questioning social distancing and vaccines. But he proved to be a good sport on the show, where he revealed he has Asperger's syndrome, and said, “To anyone who's been offended, I just want to say I reinvented electric cars and I'm sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?”
