This script adds the age and other various info onto IMDB pages.
Specifically it adds some details to actor or actresses pages. It adds
their age, their Tropical Zodiac Sign and their Chinese Zodiac Sign. As

listed films. It also adds how long a go a film was made on a film page.
This script is not abandoned, email thomas@stewarts.org.uk if it breaks.
